Battlefield 1 - GTX 660 + FX 8350 @ 1080p Ultra Settings Benchmark

Battlefield 1 - Live Gameplay Benchmark using GTX-660 + FX-8350

Can the GTX-660 and the FX-8350 provide enough power to drive Battlefield 1 at Full HD (1920x1080) resolution with Ultra settings? The answer is a resounding yes!

- Video Link Below -

This video captures Battlefield 1 Live Gameplay with MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner Statistics Server providing a nice, clean benchmark session running at 1080p against the GTX660 3GB GPU from 2012. This four year old graphics card is being hosted by an 8 core FX8350 of nearly the same vintage running at 4GHz with 16GB of RAM.

Quick Results:
~60 fps during prerendered cut-scenes
~30-40 fps during most gameplay
~20-30 fps during intense onscreen action gameplay

This card is also more than capable of handling Full HD (1920x1080) gaming at high settings for nearly every game out there. This is the resolution at which I do most PC gaming at this time. In this video, Battlefield 1 is running at 1080p with ULTRA settings. Yes! Ultra settings!

Also, if you are desiring to work on a 4K desktop then the GTX-660 is still very relevant! It will definitely do the job. I have been using this graphics card to support my desktop applications for quite some time.

NOTE: NVIDIA Shadowplay was used to capture the test and this tool had an inevitable impact on the test results. FPS counts were roughly 10% higher without Shadowplay running but the difference was not significant enough to alter the expected gameplay experience. ...well, maybe...more on that at another time.

The video linked on this page was created primarily to support research into GPUs and to capture a baseline by which to compare anticipated computer upgrades.

The live statistics seen in the upper left of the screen during the benchmark tests were made possible using MSI Afterburner and the RivaTuner Statistics Server. NOTE: RivaTuner installs with MSI Afterburner.

Skookum Valley Gaming will be receiving a brand new MSI GTX-1080 Gaming X GPU very soon and we are eager to see exactly how much performance was gained by this acquisition.

There is also some curiosity arising as to whether or not the FX-8350 will bottleneck the MSI GTX-1080. The procedures used to generate the GTX-660 baseline will be used to determine if bottlenecks are present in the newly upgraded system.

GTX 660 + FX 8350 @ FHD 1080p Benchmarks

GTX-660 and FHD 1080p Gaming

How do the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB Superclocked GPU and the AMD 8 Core 4GHz FX-8350 CPU handle PC gaming at Full HD (1920x1080) resolution? The answer is, "Very Well!"

- Video Links Below -

The videos linked below capture a series of benchmark sessions running at FHD (1080p) resolution with high detail settings using the GTX660 3GB GPU from 2012. This four year old graphics card is being hosted by an 8 core FX8350 of nearly the same vintage running at 4GHz with 16GB of RAM. Can the 660 and the 8350 do the job?

This card is more than capable of handling Full HD (1920x1080) gaming at high settings for nearly every game out there. This is the resolution at which I do most PC gaming at this time.

However, if gaming at 4K is what you are after then, unless you are satisfied with a frame rates averaging around 12-15 FPS, this will not be the greatest 4K solution for you. This older GPU can get the job done but the experience may be found lacking.

NOTE: NVIDIA Shadowplay was used to capture the tests and this tool had an inevitable impact on the test results. FPS counts were roughly 10% higher without Shadowplay running but the difference was not significant enough to alter the expected gameplay experience.

GTX 660 + FX 8350 @ WQHD 1440p Benchmarks

GTX-660 and WQHD 1440p Gaming

How do the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB Superclocked GPU and the AMD 8 Core 4GHz FX-8350 CPU handle PC gaming at WQHD (2560x1440) resolution? The answer is, "Quite Amicably!"

- Video Links Below -

The videos linked below capture a series of benchmark sessions running at WQHD (2560x1440) resolution with high detail settings using the GTX660 3GB GPU from 2012. This four year old graphics card is being hosted by an 8 core FX8350 of nearly the same vintage running at 4GHz with 16GB of RAM. Can the 660 and the 8350 do the job?

This card is certainly capable of handling WQHD (2560x1440) gaming at high settings for nearly every game out there.

However, if gaming at 4K is what you are after then, unless you are satisfied with a frame rates averaging around 12-15 FPS, this wil not be the greatest 4K solution for you. This older GPU can get the job done but the experience may be found lacking.

NOTE: NVIDIA Shadowplay was used to capture the tests and this tool had an inevitable impact on the test results. FPS counts were roughly 10% higher without Shadowplay running but the difference was not significant enough to alter the expected gameplay experience.

It should also be mentioned that although the test was running at WQHD (2560x1440) and displayed on a WQHD (2560x1440) display, NVIDIA Shadowplay recorded a downscaled version at 1080p. It is hoped that the coming GTX-1080 will be able to record at WQHD (2560x1440). However, there is no reason at the moment to expect that it will be able to both display and record at WQHD (2560x1440).

GTX 660 + FX 8350 @ 4K Benchmarks

GTX-660 and 4K Gaming

Can the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB Superclocked GPU and the AMD 8 Core 4GHz FX-8350 CPU provide enough power to drive PC gaming at 4K (3840x2160) resolution? The answer is yes! However, the question might be whether or not you would really want to do such a thing.

The videos linked below capture a series of benchmark sessions running at 4K with high detail settings using the GTX660 3GB GPU from 2012. This four year old graphics card is being hosted by an 8 core FX8350 of nearly the same vintage running at 4GHz with 16GB of RAM. Can the 660 and the 8350 do the job?

This card is also more than capable of handling Full HD (1920x1080) gaming at high settings for nearly every game out there. This is the resolution at which I do most PC gaming at this time.

However, if gaming at 4K with a frame rate averaging around 12-15 FPS is going to prevent the gamer from truly enjoying smooth gameplay then, perhaps, this isn't the greatest 4K solution. This older GPU can get the job done but the experience may be found lacking.

NOTE: NVIDIA Shadowplay was used to capture the tests and this tool had an inevitable impact on the test results. FPS counts were roughly 10% higher without Shadowplay running but the difference was not significant enough to alter the expected gameplay experience.
