A hardware enthusiast has taken an old GTX 660 out of retirement to see if modern upscaling technologies can make the ancient Kepler-based video card functional in 2025. GCS Hardware on YouTube published a video testing the GTX 660 in several games, including some that feature upscaling and some that don't. Despite technically supporting FSR, the GPU ended up being too slow to take advantage of it.
The enthusiast tested four titles: Counter-Strike 2, GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, and Doom 2016, but only two of the four had upscaling support. Counter-Strike 2 proved to be a best-case scenario for the GTX 660, running at around 80-90 FPS at native 1080p on the lowest settings. The YouTuber tried to use FSR to boost performance higher but discovered FSR yielded no additional FPS improvements whatsoever, despite FSR rendering the game at a significantly lower internal resolution (balanced and performance mode were tested, but yielded the same aforementioned results).
