Launch price in today's dollars

The GeForce GTX 1660 launched at $219 in 2019. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $283 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 29% rise over 7 years. At its launch price that is 315 Blender points per $100.

Blender rendering score

Median score 690 (middle half of runs 659–705) across 125 community runs on Blender 4.x with the OPTIX backend. That is #71 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #3 of 5 in the GeForce GTX 16 series.

This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
