About the GeForce GTX 1660

Learn more about this GPU, including its specifications, performance, and mining capabilities.

You could trust me when I tell you the GeForce GTX 1660 is a pragmatic little engine for those who like to flirt with silicon and danger, but perhaps you should not trust me entirely-after all, I am the narrator who measures heartbeats in megahashes; still, the facts cling to the tale: built on NVIDIA’s Turing architecture yet deliberately unadorned by the ray-tracing trimmings of its RTX cousins, the GTX 1660 houses 1,408 CUDA cores and 6 GB of GDDR5 memory and will push a boost clock to roughly 1,785 MHz when coaxed, which makes it a robust mid-range workhorse for gaming and compute tasks alike. For the miner-turned-technician it translates into honest throughput across a handful of algorithms-historically it could do around 25 MH/s on Ethereum’s DaggerHashimoto, about 22.5 MH/s on Octopus, and approximately 10.39 MH/s on KAWPOW-figures that, when combined with an observed draw that often sits between roughly 60 and 100 watts depending on algorithm and tuning, produce a sweet spot of efficiency that keeps heat, noise and utility bills from turning a small rig into an inferno. Remember, the landscape shifts: some major coins have moved away from proof-of-work consensus, so those Ethereum-era numbers are a legacy benchmark more than a plug-and-play promise; yet the card’s strengths remain meaningful for altcoins with similar memory- and compute-profile demands, and for mixed workloads where latency and core compute matter more than raw memory bandwidth. Practical miners will appreciate that the 1660’s GDDR5 implies different tuning behavior than newer GDDR6/GDDR6X cards-memory tweaks and power-limits often yield disproportionate gains in efficiency-so undervolting, modest core restraint and a careful bump to memory speeds can raise effective hash rates without sending power consumption through the roof. Cooling strategy, driver choice, and sustained DAG size growth are silent characters in this story too: stock fans will manage short bursts, but prolonged operation benefits from aggressive airflow and clean driver profiles to avoid throttling or instability. In short: the GTX 1660 is neither the apex predator of mining nor a mere fallen soldier; it is a cunning, efficient tool for the pragmatic miner who values balance-performant enough to earn its keep, efficient enough to avoid burning it all down.
