Best Saros settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Saros runs at roughly 71 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 53FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Saros is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 71 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 53 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 71 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 41 FPS at 4K. Saros offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	53	71
1440p	32	62
4K	18	41

💡 Saros: From the Returnal team - particle effects are the heaviest setting in busy bullet-hell fights.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Saros (from the Returnal team, Housemarque) supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - and this fast roguelike wants high, steady frames.

Ray-Traced ReflectionsOffsaves FPS

Ray-traced reflections on the rain-slicked alien world. A real cost - keep Off for the high frame rates twitchy combat needs.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness, shown with a VRAM estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Epic.

Particle QualityHighbaseline

Housemarque's signature bullet-hell particle storms - the heaviest setting in chaotic fights. High is the value pick over Epic.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic while running faster.

Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline

Reflections on wet ground when ray tracing is off. Medium is plenty.

Volumetric FogMediumbaseline

Atmospheric fog and god-rays. Medium is an easy, near-invisible win.

Ambient OcclusionSSAObaseline

Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is cheap and good-looking.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
