A leaked picture claiming to be that of the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti has made its means on the interwebs. Claiming to be from a pre-briefing occasion, the picture hints that board companions have been clued into the cardboard’s existence, with an image from a behind the scenes Nvidia occasion purporting to tease “One other thing, new GTX Turing’ and sees GTX 16-series branding throughout a Founders Edition card. But keep in mind, leaked low-res photos are mighty easy to physician…
This graphics card is predicted to launch sans ray tracing succesful {hardware}, and, one would assume, additionally minimize a few of the Turing worth premium we’ve come to count on from Nvidia’s 20-series graphics playing cards. That may imply the now heavily-rumoured GTX 1660 Ti would be the true mid-range successor to the GTX 1060 within the mainstream market.
It was only some days in the past that an Ashes of the Singularity benchmark was noticed bearing the identify GTX 1660 Ti, too. While that benchmark is notoriously flippant of standardisation, efficiency typically varies a couple of may count on, if these outcomes have any semblance of accuracy about them we will count on some 20% higher efficiency than the GTX 1060.
The newest picture was posted over at Reddit by person TheBloodNinja (through Komachi_Ensaka). Phone photos can typically be of questionable veracity, so be sure to defend your self with rock salt. This one seems notably doctored, in truth. Just have a look at the outsized ‘G’ not lining up with the ‘TX’ and the color distinction between the 1 and the 2 6s.

The picture reveals an Nvidia pre-briefing occasion, with the phrase: “One other thing, New GTX Turing” on the display screen behind. Also on show is what seems to be a GTX Founders Edition shroud with the GTX 166- branding, the remainder of the branding minimize off. If this all rings true, and we’re nonetheless not satisfied it does – we may count on a FE card with the equally succesful cooler from the 20-series Turing playing cards.
Ever for the reason that RTX 2060 launched on the grand ol’ worth of $349, it’s been a certain wager that Nvidia would have one thing else up its sleeve to compete with AMD within the mainstream market. After all, the AMD Navi structure is ready to be AMD’s ace within the gap as soon as it launches this yr, lastly changing the getting old Polaris structure.

And it’s wanting ever extra doubtless that Nvidia’s reply would be the GTX 1660 Ti, even when this leak itself isn’t completely veracious. There perhaps another 16-series (you certain about that identify, Nvidia?) playing cards beneath it within the stack, too. After all, we will solely assume there might be a non-Ti variant someday within the near-future as soon as all this performs out.
Though there are conflicting experiences that the GTX 1660 Ti is a cell solely variant, designed for mid-range gaming laptops, which might seemingly be backed up by the Ashes of the Singularity benchmarks being run on what seems like a laptop computer system.
