1660 ti good for 4k 60?

[Animesona]

im planning on getting a 4k monitor will my 1660 ti run games 4k 60?

[Suika]

I mean, I'm sure it'll run some games at 4k60, but it's definitely not going to run modern, graphically intense titles at high/ultra settings at 4k60.

does 4k look better on a 4k monitor?

Yes. Lower resolutions do not have the pixels. In fact, there's really no reason to run 4k on a non 4k monitor.

 

The 1660 TI will run games at medium/low at 4k, but you're gonna get a much more appealing gaming experience with 1440p medium/high.

on a 4k monitor it will look sharp, but it will not look better if you have to reduce the graphics quality by a ton. Low quality textures are low quality no matter what resolution you render them in.

1920x1080 is 2 million pixels.

2560x1440 is 3.6 million.

3840x2160 is 8.3 million.

So what @Fasauceome is trying to say is in order to play 4k60 you will have to turn the textures way down. 
 

it’s will be like playing Mario bro’s 64 at 4K, sure you can do it, but you won’t notice any (positive) difference because the textures are so bad anyways.

 

might as well just save that money for a 2080

or 3080.

just curious what are the benefits of rendering 4k resoultion on a 1080p monitor?

what if i can get a 4k monitor for 200$?

I would guess that it has a crappy panel with some bad colors

 

or you have a generous friend selling you their monitor they don't need anymore.

Care to link the monitor?

 

its probably shit and won’t make a difference, just save your money for a new gpu. Even if it’s 4K you have to look at things like response time, hz, size, what type of panel....

if you are getting a bargain then it's a good monitor, the color calibration on midrange Asus monitors is usually good, it uses a TN panel so don't expect particularly vibrant images. I hope the monitor has been cared for, usually a deal that's too good to be true has some strings attached.

they're not guaranteed terrible, and have some advantages over IPS, so there's not really a reason not to like them.

I don’t even care about the advantages they just have a nicer look to them, can’t quite pin down exactly what it is

Hi, thanks for the post. It's very helpful. I've one question maybe you could elucidate the answer for me, 

 

I'm basically torn here on my next build, juggling options for graphics cards and I think that I have the candidates narrowed down, but let me know your opinion, 

 

I'm trying to decide between the 1070 TI or the 1660 TIE Fighter variant, which one provides the greatest boost speed? Thoughts on positives/negatives for both, I can pick one up used on ebay from the first order - Thabks!!
