Can I run Grand Theft Auto VI with a GeForce GTX 1660 Super?

Grand Theft Auto VI needs something on the order of a GeForce RTX 3060 12GB before it will start, and the GeForce GTX 1660 Super does not reach it: index 9 against 14.

The GeForce GTX 1660 Super shipped in 2019, 7 years before Grand Theft Auto VI, and 11 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Grand Theft Auto VI. It sits 41 of 47 on our index.

Tier ladder

  1. minimum blocked by GPU + VRAM
  2. recommended blocked by GPU + VRAM
  3. high blocked by GPU + VRAM
  4. ultra blocked by GPU + VRAM

The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 9 against the 14 that Grand Theft Auto VI asks for at the minimum tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Grand Theft Auto VI: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Grand Theft Auto VI all three processors land the GeForce GTX 1660 Super on the same tier - this pairing is decided by the card, not by what sits next to it. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB

The GeForce GTX 1660 Super sits at index 9 and the minimum tier starts at 14.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the minimum tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

This part alone will not get you there. video memory also falls short of that tier.
