NVIDIA Turing-Based GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Launched At $279 (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: NVIDIA has launched yet another graphics card today based on the company's new Turing GPU. This latest GPU, however, doesn't support NVIDIA's RTX ray-tracing technology or its DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) image quality tech. The new GeForce GTX 1660 Ti does, however, bring with it all of the other GPU architecture improvements NVIDIA Turing offers. The new TU116 GPU on board the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti supports concurrent integer and floating point instructions (rather than serializing integer and FP instructions), and it also has a redesigned cache structure with double the amount of L2 cache versus their predecessors, while its L1 cache has been outfitted with a wider memory bus that ultimately doubles the bandwidth. NVIDIA's TU116 has 1,536 active CUDA cores, which is a decent uptick from the GTX 1060, but less than the current gen RTX 2060. Cards will also come equipped with 6GB of GDDR6 memory at 12 Gbps for 288GB/s of bandwidth. Performance-wise, the new GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is typically slightly faster than a previous gen GeFore GTX 1070, and much faster than a GTX 1060. Cards should be available at retail in the next few days, starting at $279.
I currently have a 1070, and this mess of cards is very weird.
The 2080's are to expensive for me, the 2060 and 2070's don't offer that much more for the price, and these mid range cards are about the same.
I had been hoping that nvidia, putting out all sorts of weird cards at so many levels might put out a 2060ti or 2070ti.
Otherwise its see y'all in 2-3- years.
At least the 1660ti seems to be good performance for the money.
The card'll be useless for high end gaming in about 4-5 years
Um, aren't all cards useless for high-end gaming in 4-5 years?
Bitcoin bugs want to know.
Higher FPS implies higher GPU dissipation.
Instead of running at 60 fps, it's a good idea to run it to 25 fps in Europe.
I dislike Nvidia, But if you are after a high end gaming card now for mid range prices that is going to still be good for high end in 4-5 years NO ONE is making cards for you.
The card'll be useless for high end gaming in about 4-5 years
A $280 card that'll be useless for high end gaming in 4-5 years? The horror. Seriously though, this is the first Turing card that's an okay upgrade, according to Anandtech this card is +36% perf, +12% price for a +21% price/perf improvement over the last gen. The RTX cards are a wash, more performance for more money. I really hope AMD can make a Zen-like comeback on the GPU side, right now their Radeon cards are aging as well as Bulldozer did...
Live today, because you never know what tomorrow brings
It is a mid-range card.
Mid-range cards are similar to their high-end counterparts but with the expensive parts stripped off. RAM is expensive, and we don't really need more than 6GB now, so it makes perfect sense.
If you want to keep your graphics card for more than 5 years of high-end gaming, you need the high-end graphics cards, and it is not specific to Nvidia.
That's bullshit lol. Best, no. good, yes. Nvidia DOUBLED the memory bandwidth but still has another 1/2 to go to catch up to AMD on that.
Nobody likes you anymore.
right now their Radeon cards are aging as well as Bulldozer did
Says you. Radeon 580 at $190 is the #1 bestseller on Amazon for several weeks.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.

But it does mean that "future proof" is a term that does not apply to this card. Very shortly, 8 GB will be a minimum even for low end cards. The current #1 bestseller on Amazon is a Radeon 580 with 8GB, $190.
The more I think about it, the more I see 6GB as a killer misfeature for a midrange card. Soon there will a bunch of premium games with texture assets targeted at 8GB cache. Not fitting in cache can actually be more of a problem for performance that cut down processing units or lower clocks.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
4-5 years? I think, anybody who gets this expecting it to be a high end card at a bargain prices is going to be having constant second thoughts about ram that will be less than even low end cards within a year.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
he said "HIGH END GAMING" learn to fucking read. This card is not going to be good for high end gaming in 4 or 5 years. no card released in the last 20 years in this mid range category would qualify as good for that. Hell many actual HIGH End cards struggle with that definition now,
unless you are planning on playing at 4k then 6GB is more than adequate for any setup that this card is aimed at both now and for a few years to come.
Its an old piece of news
But Miners found out....aaaaaand its gone!
Honestly AMD is still in the GPU for Gamers game. They just arent in the GPU for Machine Learning game at the moment, which I am OK with.
"His name was James Damore."
Very shortly, 8 GB will be a minimum even for low end cards.
Bullshit. Complete bullshit.
2GB-4GB will be the minimum for a very long time, for more than a few very good reasons. It will not magically quadruple on your authority and wishful thinking.

Define high-end gaming? Having every setting on max with 4K freesync display? Can I get "No shit Sherlock" for $5 please. It's NVIDIA's entry level gaming card. Just because you won't be able to play with the big boys and their "Ultra uber duber" setting on texture resolution in 4-5 years doesn't make this even remotely "gimped", and given the game developments in the past 5 years you sure as hell won't be missing much with the extra 2GB in the next 5 years either.
Says you. Radeon 580 at $190 is the #1 bestseller on Amazon for several weeks.
I'm sure when NVIDIA releases a childs toy to compete with the 580 people will buy that too. Or do you think that "gamers" are flocking in numbers to "upgrade" to cards that are slower than the previously discontinued generation from the competitors? The Radeon 500 series were throwaways for cheap systems and basically absent from serious gamers for the past generation.
The Vega was a step in the right direction but still largely ignored by gamers. I'm hoping the Radeon VII changes all that, and I think it may if it's priced right.
But it does mean that "future proof" is a term that does not apply to this card.
Future proof in a 4-5 year time frame has never applied to any graphics card, period!
You got 2 fantastic 1080Ti in SLI? Congratulations, even now 3 years after release there are some games you can't maximise settings on since they don't support RTX.
You got 980TIs? Well sucks to be you because 3 years later you don't have support for HDR games.
Did you have kepler cards? Well good luck playing even games of the day at 4K.
Very shortly, 8 GB will be a minimum even for low end cards.
It will be what for what? Let's look at that term "minimum" and "low end" shall we with a random selection of games:
Hitman 2: Minimum 2GB RAM
Battlefield 5: Minimum 2GB RAM
Rainbow Six Siege: Minimum 1GB RAM
Apex Legends: Minimum 1GB RAM
Let's pick something that is known at full settings to fill up the most demanding of cards: Cities Skylines, oh wait you can play that with 1GB of video RAM too, 512MB if you didn't install the last update.
The current #1 bestseller on Amazon is a Radeon 580 with 8GB, $190.
The #1 bestseller is a card that performs worse than a 6GB previous card NVIDIA has discontinued. Enjoy your "futureproofing".
They are slowly getting back into it. But the reality is Radeons have been rarely seen outside of budget builds for gamers. I have high hopes for their current architecture.
I want something that just works, I can code, tinker, bug fix. No more s3cr3ts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Check out the Steam Hardware Survey, top 10 cards:
1. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060: 14.31% (-0.49%)
2. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti: 8.99% (+0.04%)
3. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050: 4.99% (+0.03%)
4. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070: 4.19% (+0.17%)
5. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960: 3.37% (-0.07%)
6. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970: 2.93% (-0.03%)
7. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti: 2.85% (0.00%)
8. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080: 2.74% (-0.01%)
9. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: 1.63% (-0.01%)
10. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: 1.59% (-0.03%)
(...)
22. AMD Radeon RX 580: 0.79% (+0.15%)
Don't get me wrong, +0.15% means they're selling okay in the moment, but it's roughly as much in units as the newly released $1200 RTX 2080 Ti:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 0.15% (+0.15%)
The main reason they lead the $199 market is because nVidia hasn't released a card at that price point for a very long time.
Live today, because you never know what tomorrow brings
Even 128-bit cards can crank out 60+ fps in a lot of games.
Yeah, no complaints with my RIVA 128.
Exactly my thoughts. Its the 7 series all over again. I ended up just tossing my GTX 770 because of the stupid low amount of ram.
Good-bye
I have a GTX780 that still runs modern games in ultra. What do you mean? Is it this current gen of cards that sucks? Because my GTX 780 is going strong.
You should get clear on the difference between installed base and market share.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
580 is a respectable midrange card that was one of the most popular for crypto mining because of its excellent hash rate to power draw, and is currently fine for 1080p gaming, hence its popularity. Looks like it's going to be selling well for quite some time to come. It's hard to argue with the price.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
No serious gamer ran 1080p@60hz in 2018 let alone 2019.
All of the competitive shooters require 1440p@144hz just to get you into a level playing field there all designed to run better at faster speeds.
The reason you die without seeing the opponent is because your rig is running 2001 level components.
Get a clue. Is 2GB enough? Answer: no. Why does everybody know that except you?
AMD redefined the new high end bar as 16GB. The dirt cheap will be 4GB and 2GB only good enough for your grandma's email or adding video to a Ryzen box not used for graphics. As of today 8GB cards already outnumber 4GB two to one on Amazon's bestseller list.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Tell yourself that again a year from now when every $200 card has 8GB.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
And before you quibble about system ram vs vram, here's the consensus on Steam. "For newer titles no unless you're content with Medium to Low settings. You will need 4GB+ of VRAM if you wish to game at 1080p at an acceptable framerate. 1440p and higher you will need 8GB+ of VRAM."
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
As of today 1080 is the most popular gamer resolution by far, 60%.
1024 x 768 0.64%
1280 x 1024 2.16%
1280 x 720 0.42%
1280 x 800 0.82%
1360 x 768 1.95%
1366 x 768 14.02%
1440 x 900 3.60%
1536 x 864 0.25%
1600 x 900 3.60%
1680 x 1050 2.54%
1920 x 1200 0.90%
1920 x 1080 60.48%
2560 x 1080 0.96%
2560 x 1440 3.97%
3440 x 1440 0.48%
3840 x 2160 1.48%
Other 1.73%
The next most popular is 768, 14%. So roughly 95% of PC gamers are "not serious" and will be well served by RX 580 as of today, hence #1 bestseller. Future proof? No way, that's not in dispute. But it's a great way to conserve your cash waiting for the next generation to arrive because frankly, the current generation sucks in terms of value for money anywhere outside the 1080p mainstream.
One thing you should not skimp on is VRAM because you are going to get game breaking stutters and stalls if you do.

As of today 1080 is [steampowered.com] the most popular gamer resolution by far, 60%.
He didn't say 1080. He said "1080p@60hz" a very big distinction when you're talking about what a Radeon 580 is capable of in a modern game.
Huh, what are you blathering about? For gaming, 1080 means 1080p, because 1080i is only for videos. Shouldn't need to tell you that. And 60 Hz is just a refresh rate, in fact the standard refresh rate for low end monitors. Your "big distinction" is just you being confused.
If you want to know how RX 580 does at 1080 (1080p if you insist on being an anal retard) then this article explains it as well as any. TL;DR "clearly the RX 580 is the better card in more of the games that we've tested, with the AMD card coming on top in seven of our nine tests at 1080p, and every time at 1440p." Not only does the 580 outperform its closest competitor the 1060, it sells for less and has way more VRAM. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Nvidia has the gall to sell a midrange card with 3GB, but they do. Could be just the card for you.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
The RAM in it isn't an issue and will be more than adequate for years to come (the issue is bandwidth and performance). We aren't anywhere near using all the RAM in current cards as the resolutions and textures of all but the high end setups simply don't need it. you could halve the ram in most cards and gamers would not notice a difference.
Don't be dense, the web is overflowing with complaints about stuttering and stalls due to not enough vram, for example this one or feast your eyes on this. If you want to play those games with your gimped vram then you need to turn down settings including shadows and supersampling. It only gets worse from here. The new standard for mainstream GPUs is 8GB, too bad Nvidia didn't get the message. They will pretty soon.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
If there is one thing that stood the test of time in my 29 years of building my own pc's, it is that it makes no sense to invest money to be future proof. Buy what you need now, maybe looking a year ahead.
What you need later will be available for less then, but the killer are changes of standards.
Huh, what are you blathering about? For gaming, 1080 means 1080p,
Thanks for telling us you're not a gamer. Any gamer would know the distinction between resolution, and resolution at a locked frame rate. The OP said no serious gamer games at 1080p@60Hz. You countered saying 1080p was popular. Yet it is. You included a metric fuckton of non-serious gamers in your worthless statistics.
Now come back and play with us when you have a 1080p@144Hz display. You know ... like those tiny subset of people in your statistics who are actually serious gamers.
TL;DR "clearly the RX 580 is the better card in more of the games that we've tested
According to their own results it can't even maintain vsync lock on a 60Hz (shitty) monitor. Any serious gamer would consider the game unplayable at that point. Man the "Xbox play on my 30fps TV" generation really has destroyed what it means to play games if these numbnuts think this is even remotely an appropriate card for a "gamer".
Not only does the 580 outperform its closest competitor the 1060
And by their own results the 580 is frequently out performed in raw framerate and almost universally outperformed in frame time variance.
it sells for less and has way more VRAM
Yeah but NVIDIA has a green logo, which is just as relevant of a metric since you're ignoring performance.
Frankly, it's hard to believe that Nvidia has the gall to sell a midrange card with 3GB, but they do.
... Man you're just going down a whirlwind of stupidity right now. The only 3GB NVIDIA card currently manufactured is the entry level 1050. Their midrange 3GB card was discontinued early last year when they exclusively started shipping 6GB cards and upgraded their RAM to GDDR5X in the process.
Could be just the card for you.
I have one. It's a great card for a non gaming PC. But since you don't know what the definition of gaming is, ... well come back when you're running 1080TIs in SLI watercooled. Then you too can play with the big boys.
mine has 1gb and im ok, i dont have aids or anything, fuck amd cards if the only thing they have over nvidia is more ram. Buying a 580 over this card is retarded, this card pees on the 580
I felt more stupid after reading your post, time to wipe the spittle.

Ha ha, you do have a sense of humor.

You can throw all of the shit metrics you want at the screen as your obviously not a serious gamer and will never actually get the point.
Why yes 95% of gamer's are not serious they play for fun every once in a while so 1080p@60hz is fine in a $500 rig. There's no point on going above a 1660ti/1070 or the AMD equivalent it's just a waste of money if your not going to drop $500 to $1k into a monitor.
A competitive player looking to hit at least the top 3% to 2% of the leader boards consistently will drop roughly $3k into a rig and $1k is just the monitor. You have to get to a 1440p@144hz platform just to level the playing field and that's before you actually learn how to aim and land your shots in any game. 1080p@60hz is just a crap fest your reduced to hip firing spam and pray you hit something.
FPS and HZ is everything in most shooter games it's how you spot the bad guy faster or from longer away as there mostly cheap easy client side hitscan based damage resolution (pubg/fortnight/apex) verses something harder like server side projectile object (Tarkov). Projectile is better as every bullet fired gets run through a physic's engine but that just means you *have* to have a better rig just to play the game.
Now if your a Minecraft or MTG:Arena player then you can run them on any old potato without wasting money on a GPU/monitor. Warcraft is in the potato area as well but for the opposite reason as they have probably the tightest netcode our there.
I felt more stupid after reading your post
I know man. We live in a complicated world, but you'll get there eventually.

3GB, pathetic. Professional review writers.

3GB, pathetic.
Indeed, which is why NVIDIA hasn't made any in the 1060 series for over a year. Now do you want to link any other obsolete 3 year old hardware when making your point? I mean AMD is shit. Those Zen processors never lived up to their hype. It's a shame they don't have a Zen+ architecture right?
Idiot. But keep talking man. Your line of reasoning is fascinating.
So you agree that 3GB is pathetic. Now it's only a small step even for a stunted intellect such as yours to notice that 6GB is also pathetic for a midrange card.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
I always did for a mid range card in 2019. But we weren't talking about 3GB. You can't even seem to follow the discussion in the title of your own post. You also can't seem to actually focus on current generation cards since every mid-range 3GB card you linked to is obsolete and not part of NVIDIA's current lineup.
Now it's only a small step even for a stunted intellect such as yours to notice that 6GB is also pathetic for a midrange card.
Retarded non-sequiteur. Allow me to apply tough love logic for a moment: 3GB is pathetic so you agree that {insert arbitrary number here} is also pathetic. Why do you love your 8GB card? It's obsolete garbage. Wake me when AMD comes out with a 24GB card.
You really suck at logic, forming arguments, oh and understanding gaming requirements.
The 8GB Radeon you disparage is actually the top selling card on Amazon. Now wipe that spittle off your chin.

It's a great low range graphics card which performs worse than the card NVIDIA just superseded. Not everyone can afford to be a mid-range wannabe gamer.
Apparently, RX 580 is what customers actually want because it does high settings at 1440 just fine, has 8GB for future proofing and costs less than $200. Must drive Nvidia nuts as their warehouse full of obsolete cards gets older and older. Getting close to the point where cheapest solution is landfill. Meanwhile, AMD still making new 580's for huge margin.
NVidia's response? RTX 2060 to run puddle tracing at 15 FPS. GTX 1660 to give loyal customers a reason not to buy 2080. Sucks to be you.

From Steam's hardware survey last month:
Biggest winner: Radeon R7, +.19%
Biggest loser: GTX 1060, -.52%
Both appearing for the first time that month, Vega beat RTX 2080 TI, .16% to .15%.
If Nvidia hasn't released a card to compete with the 580 for so long, then maybe it is because they can't. Sure they can release cheap cards, but it would either be junk vs 580 or it would cannibalize their higher priced junk.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Obviously, 95% of Steam players are not fixated on shooter leaderboards, you need to keep things in perspective. Granted, competitive players spend a lot more on their gear, so 5% of players spend maybe 15% of dollars, and margin on those products is higher. That's enough to justify R&D specifically for that segment, but never forget that the other 95% you like to disparage is where the real money is.

Huh? NVIDIA doesn't have a warehouse full of cards. They had a warehouse full of chips which affected Q4 results and which was solved by simply not manufacturing anymore. You realise listing a problem from September last year that has nothing to do with the gaming market and has already been solved complete with a proposed hyperbolic garbage (pun intended) solution doesn't help your argument right?
NVidia's response? RTX 2060 to run puddle tracing at 15 FPS.
Now you're talking about an 8GB card? Holy shit do you even have a coherent thought? But since you're clearly not a gamer let me actually update you on the gaming news: NVIDIA's response is the GTX1660, a card which on release caused AMD to shit themselves resulting in their entire CPU line including the 580 getting a heavy (incidentally this is the second time the RRP has been discounted in 2 months, you can send NVIDIA your thank-you letter). After all we wouldn't want them going to the "landfill" since that's apparently what happens to old cards still in the channel according to someone on the internet..
GTX 1660 to give loyal customers a reason not to buy 2080.
I think you just had a stroke. Call 911. When someone suddenly stops making what little sense they had mid sentence it's a clear sign of a stroke.
Sucks to be you.
Huh? Why? I own precisely none of the cards being discussed? The only negative impact on me at all is having to sit here and educate people who have no fucking idea what they are talking about.
1.) I didn't disparage anyone that's your view not mine. It's just a fact of any sport/hobby 95% of participants are not serious competitors they do it for fun. I never said there was a problem with that.
2.) Your contradicting yourself if that 5% of players can justify R&D spending then how is it that the 95% is the lion's share?
On average most of that 95% spends $500 on there rig ever 5-6 years with maybe one upgrade in the cycle and they typically buy a pre-built computer and use it for everything not just gaming. While the 5% spends $2+ every 2-3 years with at least 1 upgrade in the cycle and these are usually dedicated hand built machines. If there a streamer (most are) they also have a $1k streaming computer to boot.
My gaming rig is only used for gaming I don't even browse the web on it unless I'm pulling a driver down. My streaming rig is my daily driver.
I've spent $2 the last two years due to a motherboard bug Gigabyte just couldn't fix but it's an odd cycle for me I'm typically in the 3 year plan.
Don't be a fucking retard, that is about a 5 year old card that came standard with 2 or 3gb.
You are a complete idiot because you keep saying that I am right and then keep saying that I am wrong. If you dont how you are doing that, its because of your idiocy. Words have meaning, such as "low end"
You keep going on about hiogh end demands while trying to refute claims about low end demands... get it yet, fucking retard?
"His name was James Damore."
2.) Your contradicting yourself if that 5% of players can justify R&D spending then how is it that the 95% is the lion's share?
You're a bit of a prat, you know. I simply meant to avoid directly saying that, as a fringe market and you should be grateful that the big boys are willing to throw a few crumbs your way, even though they don't make a large portion of their earnings that way. The money is in the people you like to disparage.

Yeah because ASUS warehousing an ASUS card is somehow NVIDIA's (who have successfully made a sale to the OEM at that point) problem. uh-huh. Sure. Let's go with that. It's not like you've said anything else that's correct. SO why not keep with it.

I am truly sorry I have failed you.

But since you've been wrong about everything else, let me help you with this one too. I'm not obsessive compulsive, I simply get joy arguing with wrong people on the internet. I just got out of bed here in the Azores, I opened my laptop, went to Slashdot, went down my list of repiles, and then grinned ear to ear when I saw that you have posted. I have so very much enjoyed sparing with you. I mean as much as any black belt can enjoy sparing with someone who turned up with a "come and try" coupon.
Anyway maybe one day you'll understand how the gaming GPU market works. Until then enjoy "future proofing" your system with a card low end enough that it's already being listed on as "recommended" specs on some games. AMD thanks you for it's short term and ever repeating business.
But since this thread will be archived within the year, let me just get it out of my system now: For the you of 2020 who just bought yet another "future proof" video card I say this: *hands on my hips* *inhale* "HAHAHHAHAHAH"
RX 580, number one bestselling GPU on Amazon for many weeks, can be yours for $184.
(With 8GB VRAM compared to lame 6GB for Nvidia's $280 card.)
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Repeating irrelevant shit doesn't make it relevant. And it's not the best selling GPU. That title belongs to Intel who ship one with every processor. Maybe you should get that instead. It's even cheaper! Tough Love logic woot woot.

You forgot the quotes tags and a reply. I guess you've finally given up since you're just a broken record now.
To be honest, I'm impressed you lasted. Most people give up after repeating the same debunked garbage twice. You managed to do it three times.
you're just a broken record now. :)

The troll is good lmao,
Was a fun read but I'll be buying a Rx580 after this
It has been fascinating watching someone revert to a child state.
It has been super boring watching you in a child state.

I'm sure it has, if that's what you were expecting to see I can only imagine your disappointment when greeted with reasoned arguments about why you were wrong over and over again.
Do you regard yourself as witty, and do you really giggle when you type?

No I don't have a sense of humour I'm aware of. If you have taken anything I've said about NVIDIA, your opinion of the graphics industry, or you personally as a joke then I apologise for not making it clear that I was having a 100% serious conversation.
To be clear, I'm laughing at you at the moment, you're the joke.

That is unfortunate. You laughing through your ignorance just means you've missed the opportunity to learn something.
Comic.

Nope, depressing.
