Today, we gather not to mourn the physical death of a graphics card, but the performance collapse of a true companion. Our dear OP’s GTX 1660… It may still technically be “working,” but we all know it’s basically just a loading screen at this point.
Once upon a time, this card ran Overwatch at 144 FPS with pride. “Low settings, but smooth, bro,” was our battle cry. It was our excuse whenever we missed a shot “Nah, man, there was a drop.”
But now?
Before the match even starts, it struggles to hit 30 FPS.
As soon as Lucio ults, the screen freezes.
When Junkrat throws a bomb, time itself seems to glitch.
It’s like the GPU isn’t processing anything anymore, it’s just a hamster that gave up running on its wheel.
FPS? Now it’s more like “frames per struggle.”
The only thing this card is processing is the pain of every game launch attempt.
tssss… please, don’t make me do this…
This card is no longer a graphics card.
It’s an active-passive digital existential crisis.
It used to be the pride of a 144Hz monitor, but now it’s just a dusty HDMI port that never gets plugged into anything important.
But don’t worry, folks.
Our dear GTX 1660 is now in a better place.
There, the angels are aim-training at 240Hz.
Zero input lag, 0% packet loss.
And no more driver conflicts.
Every card there is undervolted and happy.
Goodbye, GTX 1660.
You may not have given us 300 FPS, but you gave us some damn good times.
Press F but if you’ve got dual-channel RAM, press it twice.
“He finishes his speech, takes one last look at the GTX 1660 lying in the coffin with tears in his eyes, and steps down from the podium”
