GTX 1660 glitching or not detected?

Artifacts on screen, resolution stuck at a wrong value, games crashing, or the GTX 1660 showing up as a basic display adapter - graphics driver problems have many faces. A free scan shows which driver the card is using and whether updates are available.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Glitches, artifacts or black screen

Flicker, stripes or short black screens - a driver mismatch is a frequent cause.

Shows as “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter”

Windows runs the GTX 1660 on a generic driver, so resolution and performance suffer.

Broke after a Windows update

Graphics worked before the update; afterwards games crash or the screen misbehaves.

Games crash or stutter

Crashes on launch and sudden FPS drops often trace back to the graphics driver.

A free scan can identify the installed hardware and show available driver information.

Prefer to try fixing it manually?

These are the standard Windows checks - they take a few minutes and sometimes do the trick:

  1. Check optional Windows updates. Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates - graphics driver updates often sit there.
  2. Update the driver in Device Manager. Press Win+X, open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click the card and choose Update driver > Search automatically.
  3. Roll back if it broke after an update. Right-click the adapter > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver returns the previous version.
  4. Reinstall the adapter. Right-click the card, choose Uninstall device and restart the PC - Windows sets up a working basic driver on boot.

The weak spot of the manual route: at the "Update driver" step Windows searches only its own catalog, which is often missing or outdated for the exact model - it can report that the best driver is already installed even when a newer one exists. The free scan checks your devices against a database of 1,000,000+ drivers, so one pass shows whether better versions are available.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover the GTX 1660 family?

The scan identifies the exact model Windows reports for your device and shows the driver updates available for it - you see the version and date before applying anything.

I also have integrated graphics. Are both checked?

Yes - the scan lists the display adapters Windows can see, the GTX 1660 included, each with its own driver state.

Do I need to prepare anything before the scan?

No - the graphics card is part of the PC, so it is visible to Windows already. Just run the scan.

Will anything change without my permission?

No. Nothing changes during the scan. Driver updates are applied only after you review the results and choose what to update.

Can I review or skip individual updates?

Yes. Each detected item can be reviewed, applied or skipped individually. Backup and restore options are available before updates are applied, so a previous driver version can be restored if necessary.

What exactly is downloaded?

The button downloads Outbyte Driver Updater, a Windows desktop application. The website itself does not scan your computer in the browser - the check runs in the application after you install and start it.

When is a license required?

The scan and results are free. A license is required only if you choose to download and apply the available updates. Current pricing and license terms are shown before purchase.

Supports Windows 11 and 10 · Uninstall anytime via Settings → Apps · If no updates are found, the scan still shows the current driver state of your devices.
