Wallpaper Engine benchmark on GTX 1060 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Wallpaper Engine FPS with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 195FPS min 110Excellent | 101FPS min 71Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| High | 254FPS min 143Excellent | 132FPS min 93Excellent | 46FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Medium | 332FPS min 187Excellent | 172FPS min 122Excellent | 61FPS min 54Good |
| Low | 429FPS min 241Excellent | 223FPS min 158Excellent | 78FPS min 69Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 53% | CPU 28% | GPU 43% |
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 1060 6GB. There is 9% 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 Wallpaper Engine 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 | 195 | 244 | 283 |
| 1440p | 101 | 136 | 167 |
| 4K | 36 | 52 | 67 |
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.
With that CPU, the GTX 1060 6GB has headroom to spare in Wallpaper Engine: 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 1060 6GB Enough for Wallpaper Engine?
The GTX 1060 6GB delivers 195 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 101 FPS and at 4K 36 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
