Release a card, "make some noise".
Release lesser card that can be mistaken for the faster one (3Gb 1060, 1660). <= we are here
Profit.

Meanwhile, tomshardware couldn't figure 1050 3Gb that they are recommending is not only more expensive, but about 2 times slower than cheaper RX 570.

Are you gonna mistake prices too? I wonder how you can keep up with radeon's silly rebranding schemes but can't figure out the difference difference between a $220 1660 and $280 1660Ti.

There is no plane of existence in which RX 570 is twice as fast as GTX 1060 3GB. Congratulations on graduating from fanboyism to outright lies.

He clearly wrote 1050, not 1060.

Yeah, I get retarded sometimes.

but can't figure out the difference difference between

Yeah. I mean, 1060 3Gb and 1060 6Gb being different chips is so obvious (price should hint at it I guess?)

How does that wonderful "obviousness" work with notebooks? Say, notebook description mentions 1060 but doesn't mention mem size. What should the price be for it to be 6Gb?

Or how does it work in case you buy entire PC build?

And are you seriously arguing "many will mistake 1660 for 1660Ti"?

radeon's silly rebranding

What does Radeon have to do with it, Jesus.

as GTX 1060 3GB

Ironic.
