Does Dragon Age Veilguard run well on older GPUs?

I've got a GTX 1660 Super and was thinking about picking up Veilguard, but I'm seeing some pretty mixed performance reports online. Has anyone actually played it on older mid-range cards? I'm mostly concerned about whether I can get stable 60fps at high settings without having to dial everything down to low.

Don't expect high settings at 60fps stable with a 1660 Super - most people running that card are dropping to medium or mixing medium/high to hit 60, and some settle for 1440p instead of 1080p to keep framerates smoother. You'll probably need to tweak settings individually rather than just cranking a preset, but it's definitely playable if you're okay with some compromise.

A 1660 Super can handle Veilguard, but you're looking at a pretty specific setup to get what you want. The card does better with medium settings at 1080p where most people report hitting 60fps consistently, though pushing to high across the board tends to dip into the 45-55 range depending on the area. If you're willing to tweak - maybe high textures and lighting but medium shadows and effects - you can usually find that sweet spot without dropping to low everything. Honestly though, if 60fps at high is a hard requirement, this might be one where you'd need to wait for a driver update or accept some compromise on either settings or framerate.

What resolution are you targeting? The 1660 Super's sweet spot with Veilguard is honestly 1080p on medium settings where you'll get stable 60fps, but cranking everything to high is pretty unrealistic on that card. High settings at 1440p is where it struggles most - you'd probably dip into the 40-50fps range depending on the area. If you're flexible on either resolution or settings, it's totally playable, but locked 60fps at high across the board isn't happening.
