Tight Squeeze Below $350 as Price of GTX 1660 Ti Revealed
NVIDIA is reportedly pricing the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at USD $279 (baseline pricing), which implies pricing of custom-designed and factory-overclocked cards scraping the $300-mark. The card is also spaced $70 apart from the RTX 2060, which offers not just 25% more CUDA cores, but also NVIDIA RTX and DLSS technologies. In media reporting of the card so far, it is being compared extensively to the GTX 1060 6 GB, which continues to go for under $230. Perhaps NVIDIA is planning a slower non-Ti version to replace the GTX 1060 6 GB under the $250-mark. That entry would place three SKUs within $50-70 of each other, a tight squeeze. Based on the 12 nm TU116 silicon, the GTX 1660 Ti is rumored to feature 1,536 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 192-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, handling 6 GB of memory at 12 Gbps (288 GB/s). This GPU lacks RT cores.

Performance (Full HD): +31% for GTX1660ti costing $30 more
Gtx 1660ti MSRP $279 vs GTX1070 MSRP $380
Performance 1660ti +2% for $100 less
GTX1660ti $279 vs rx590 $270
Performance 1660ti +20% for $10 more
1660ti $279 vs rx 580 $200
Performance 1660ti 30% faster for $80 more or ~30% more money , about the same price performance.
So whats the problem?!!!!
Slot the 1660ti at 168% on this chart.
It's rather irrelevant, that's not the price anymore, so you're buying today you're comparing to $249.
that's still not the MSRP. After a month or 2 they will go down to their respected MSRP.
And I quote from AnandTech review....
"For the July 19th launch, much like their higher end cards NVIDIA is going to be launching with two designs and two price points. Officially the GTX 1060 starts at $249; this will be for partner custom cards,"
And quote
"Meanwhile at $299 NVIDIA is launching a Founders Edition card, which implements a full blower."
just to be accurate. :)
the 1660ti 's MSRP will be $279
the 1660ti performance is right where I said it is and will only improve with better drivers.
the 1660ti's price /performance will be best in its class.
the 1660ti will come with a free game. So far, no one has confirmed a gtx 1660 with 3gb of memory.
If they did release such a card it would be good for 1080p med textures /high detail at 60+ fps for the next 2 years.
I actually think they will release a 1650 3gb.
RTX 2080TI is priced out of this World -> the worst price/performance ratio of any titanium GPU to date
RTX 2080 is priced exactly as GTX 1080 TI -> no price/performance gain
RTX 2070 is priced at GTX 1080 price -> no price/performance gain
RTX 2060 is priced at GTX 1070 price -> modest price/performance gain
GTX 1660 TI is priced between GTX1060/GTX 1070 -> small price/performance gain
GTX 1660 is priced at GTX 1060 price -> minimal price/performance gain
Conclusion: The only GPU semi worth buying in Turing series is RTX 2060. Turing offers no to very modest price/performance ratio improvement and it's starting to shows on NVidia's gaming division balance sheet. NVidia hasn't given gamers any real reason to upgrade from Pascal.
I have some confirmed facts for you .
the 1660ti 's MSRP will be $279
the 1660ti performance is 2% slower on average than a gtx1070 and will only improve with better drivers.
the 1660ti's price /performance will be best in its class and better than the gtx 2060 which is # 4 of all gpu's today and the fastest gpu with the best price /performance..
the 1660ti will come with a free game.
While I agree with you that lack of competition made prices worse, the die sizes of this round of Nvidia gpu's are huge and cost way more money to produce than usual.
The 2060 chip is 445mm vs the gtx 1060's 200mm. more than 2x the size.
the gtx 1080 was only 312mm and the gtx 1080ti was only 471mm.
a $350 rtx 2060 is about the same size chip as a $700 gtx 1080ti.
Did you read the review for RTX2060? If you did, then you should know RTX2060 is 17.6% faster in FullHD than GTX1070 and they have pretty much the same specs!
GTX1160 with 1280cuda should be ~17% faster than GTX1060 and also faster than RX590 which is ~10% faster than GTX1060.
GTX1160Ti with 1536cuda should be very close to GTX1070 or perform the same.
The launch price for GTX1160Ti is $279.
gtx1060 3gb, gtx 970 owners will get a 35/40% boost. those that bought a 4gb gtx 960/1050ti for $200 2 or 3 years ago should see a 90% boost. gtx 1060/rx580 owners will see a 30% boost for about the same price they paid 18 months ago.
That's plenty of market! like 50% of the market. but do you know which one? :)
considering that the 2060 IS 50% faster then the 1060 6gb
AMD is pretty much out of the game completely now at anything under 500.00
it'd be weird if 1500 turing shaders with ddr6 end up being slower than 1070 with 1900 pacal shaders and ddr5. 2060 has 1900 and trades blows with gtx 1080 that has 2500 shaders and g5x.I'm assuming it'll outperform 1070 slightly,by a few percent.I mean,next gen x60Ti card slower than last gen x70 card ? Not how nvidia has been doing it lately,despite the performance jump being lower this gen,
also,rx590 is between 1060 and 1070,that's a technically true statement. but 1070 is still a lot faster and rx590 is closer to 1060,much closer to 1060 than 1070.
www.pcgameshardware.de/Radeon-VII-Grafikkarte-268194/Tests/Benchmark-Review-1274185/2/ (scroll down to overall performance,1070 is 25% faster than 590, in 21 games across 3 resolutions). So yeah,probably +20% faster than 590 at same msrp. Let's not kid ourselves, rx590 is a slightly higher clocked 580,they should never have raised the msrp by $50 for that.

take the 1060 vs 1070 values average them out then do a difference between the two
and remember the 1660ti is probly going to loose a bit more then the 1070 at higher res
That should help the 1660ti to 30% faster.
