Subnautica benchmark on GTX 1660 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Subnautica FPS with a GTX 1660 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 90FPS min 65Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| High | 116FPS min 83Good | 74FPS min 64Good | 28FPS min 25Poor |
| Medium | 152FPS min 109Excellent | 97FPS min 84Good | 37FPS min 33Acceptable |
| Low | 197FPS min 142Excellent | 126FPS min 110Excellent | 47FPS min 42Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 26% | balanced | GPU 65% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1660 Ti. 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 Subnautica 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 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 90 | 113 | 131 |
| 1440p | 57 | 77 | 94 |
| 4K | 22 | 32 | 41 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1660 Ti 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 Ti has headroom to spare in Subnautica: 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 Ti Enough for Subnautica?
The GTX 1660 Ti delivers 90 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Subnautica. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 57 FPS and at 4K 22 FPS at Ultra quality.
