The Sims™ 4 benchmark on GTX 1060 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The Sims™ 4 FPS with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 27FPS min 24Poor | 17FPS min 15Poor | 7FPS min 6Unplayable |

| Low | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 57% | GPU 72% | GPU 89% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 1060 6GB in The Sims™ 4 the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders The Sims™ 4 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 1060 6GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 27 | 34 | 39 |
| 1440p | 17 | 23 | 28 |
| 4K | 7 | 10 | 13 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 6GB 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1060 6GB is what caps the frame rate in The Sims™ 4. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1060 6GB Enough for The Sims™ 4?
The GTX 1060 6GB delivers 27 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The Sims™ 4. This GPU is not enough for The Sims™ 4 at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
