Dota 2 benchmark on GTX 1660: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dota 2 FPS with a GTX 1660 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 125FPS min 77Excellent | 74FPS min 57Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| High | 162FPS min 100Excellent | 96FPS min 74Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| Medium | 212FPS min 130Excellent | 126FPS min 97Excellent | 49FPS min 43Acceptable |
| Low | 274FPS min 168Excellent | 163FPS min 126Excellent | 64FPS min 57Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 44% | CPU 17% | GPU 54% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1660. There is 22% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Dota 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1660 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 125 | 156 | 181 |
| 1440p | 74 | 100 | 122 |
| 4K | 29 | 42 | 54 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1660 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the GTX 1660 has headroom to spare in Dota 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1660 Enough for Dota 2?
The GTX 1660 delivers 125 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dota 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 74 FPS and at 4K 29 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
