Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti has been noticed within the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark. This closely rumoured graphics card ditches the RTX branding and the 20-series naming conference of the Nvidia Turing architecture graphics playing cards already available on the market, and reportedly performs some 20% quicker than the GTX 1060 – albeit within the reasonably unsure AoTS benchmark.
Despite Nvidia hoping to maintain the ray traced dream alive with its high-end 20-series playing cards, rumours of it ditching the RTX performance – resembling AI processing Tensor Cores and ray tracing RT Cores – have been rising as of late. These newest AoTS outcomes seemingly verify {that a} knocked-back GeForce GTX card to compete within the mid-range is on the best way.
We’ve been anticipating the inexperienced crew to announce a mid-range graphics card ever for the reason that RTX 2060 launched for $349 – a a lot larger sum of cash than its Pascal GTX 1060 predecessor. Instead the GTX 1660 Ti is alluded to because the true mainstream successor to the Pascal card, however we now have to say we’re not fussed on the title. GTX is comprehensible – as long as you’re within the know – however 16-series… come on!
As for efficiency, the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti manages a rating a little bit over 19% larger than the GTX 1060. AoTS isn’t precisely essentially the most reliable of benchmarks, nonetheless, so attempt to not be beholden to these efficiency figures simply but.
The consequence was surfaced by outstanding leaker TUM_APISAK on Twitter. We salute you.

This isn’t the primary time we’ve heard of the GTX 1660 Ti, both. The existence of a GTX card, sans ray tracing {hardware}, was first floated over a month in the past, earlier than the RTX 2060 launched. The 1660 Ti title was, on the time, believed to be the results of an errant typo, as an alternative alluding to the smart GTX 1160 title. Easily achieved.
However, we then heard of the GTX 1660 Ti yet again solely final week, lending additional credence to the GTX 1660 Ti.

As it stands in the present day, we anticipate the seemingly confirmed GTX 1660 Ti to be constructed upon the identical 12nm FinFET course of node as the present Turing GPUs. We additionally anticipate it to retain the identical shader design launched with the Turing structure and the identical reminiscence tech, GDDR6.
The variations being the GTX 1660 Ti will launch with none of the devoted AI and ray tracing compute silicon. The Turing GPU in its present kind is an entire lotta silicon, and slicing a number of the extra RTX fats permits for Nvidia to cost it competitively in opposition to the competitors from AMD – prone to be AMD Navi later this yr.
