Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2023. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Colorful 6GB runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions.

For performance contrast we can see that Star Citizen is predicted to return a good 72 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

As the PC gaming masses explore larger screen resolutions we decided to run some game checks at 1440p across a few popular games.
