Posted June 9, 2020 in general, yes it will work. but dont expect the 1660 to push 240fps in most games without some huge down grade in graphical settings ◒ ◒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps eSports like csgo, dota or R6 might if you have the settings very low, or games like rocket league and fortnite.

Posted June 9, 2020 Your 1660 will handle CS:GO at 240Hz just fine. Don't expect it to do in most other games though. If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 9, 2020 For CS:GO your limiting factor will be the 1600, as that game really doesn't like Zen and Zen+ too much. A slight overclock could help a bit though. Either way, you should be getting around 150-200FPS fairly easily, and the 1660 will work perfectly fine.
