Final Fantasy XIV benchmark on GTX 1660: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Final Fantasy XIV FPS with a GTX 1660 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 66FPS min 57Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| High | 85FPS min 74Good | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor |
| Medium | 112FPS min 97Good | 77FPS min 68Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| Low | 145FPS min 126Excellent | 99FPS min 87Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 28% | GPU 72% |
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 i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1660. There is 24% 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 Final Fantasy XIV 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 | 66 | 83 | 96 |
| 1440p | 45 | 61 | 74 |
| 4K | 17 | 25 | 31 |
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.
The GTX 1660 and that processor are well matched in Final Fantasy XIV: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1660 Enough for Final Fantasy XIV?
The GTX 1660 delivers 66 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Final Fantasy XIV. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 45 FPS and at 4K 17 FPS at Ultra quality.
