It appears that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti is real as the first Ashes of the Singularity benchmark has surfaced online. According to the results, the PC system that was equipped with this latest GPU was 1200 points faster than a similar featuring an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060.
Now I should note that Ashes of the Singularity relies heavily on the CPU, which is why these benchmark results may not be representative of the real performance difference between the GTX1060 and the GTX1660Ti. Still, and from everything we’ve heard so far, the GTX 1660Ti is real and will be most likely unveiled next month.
According to reports, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1660Ti will use the TU116 GPU, will feature 1536 CUDA cores and will come with 6GB of GDDR6 memory. It is said that this brand new graphics card will target mid-range customers, will be based on the Turing architecture and will not be equipped with any RT cores.
Kudos to our reader Metal Messiah for bringing this to our attention.
Thanks Videocardz

Don’t buy this.
Why so ? Please provide a valid reason/excuse.
Maybe because it’s a complete waste of money.
That isn’t the answer. So asking again Why so ? Why is it a complete waste of money ? I’m not trying to bash your opinion just curious to read what you think.
If you plan to upgrade,go for gtx 1070ti or 1080 if you can afford.Price of EVGA 1070ti,around 420e and 1080ti price will drop at spring. RTX and series 11xx, not worth at all. RTX2080Ti only worth but ultra priced.
the 1080ti inventory is being depleted so instead of price drop most likely the price will just stay the same.
how much money?
Maybe ?
Nope, your argument is vague and subjective. It will depend on what current GPU one is using, because for some gamers this card might be a worthy upgrade as well, assuming they are rocking old gen video cards. Nothing is going waste for them.
Also, the price of this GTX card should be reasonable enough to warrant an upgrade, at least in the mid-range gaming segment. It lacks RT cores, so Nvidia will try to reduce the cost of the CHIP as well.
Not many gamers are actually interested in ray tracing as well. Assuming this card has a GTX 1070-level of performance bracket, then it might be worth looking into, imo.
Though, we don’t have any info on the pricing yet, so the final purchasing decision will obviously depend on the price/perf ratio of this card.
$300?
Yeah, it should priced within that territory. Makes sense. But we can’t be fully sure about this, until we get some official info directly from NVidia.
I’m expecting $250~ though. A dream.
Just hire Metal Messiah already. 🙂
I’ll buy this for my upgrade…
Why not GTX 11×0?
I agree with the naming scheme. It’s a bit odd, because it should have been labelled as the GTX 1100 series instead.
GTX 1660 sounds a bit confusing, but I think Nvidia is trying to borrow the GTX 660 Ti nomenclature to some extent. Just my guess.
Another reason for this could be because this card is based on the “TU116” chip, instead of TU106. Wait for few more days though, as more concrete info is going to be leaked for this particular TURING non-RTX based GPU.
1660 sounds awfully close to being the card Black Sabbath would sell!
Haha ! Nice one. I think 666 is Huang’s personal ID number/code as well (just kidding). 😀
Btw, OZZY has been silent and inactive for a long time though.
Jen-Hsun Huang privately speaks with a Brummie accent. True fact.
Really ? Did he live in Birmingham ? I haven’t recently heard much of this speech/lectures though.
‘True fact’ was a nod to it not being true, lol! That said, his cringe worthy fondness for wearing that tight black leather jacket may indicate he’s more of a Judas Priest fan, haha.
HELL bent for leather !

On YouTube I just viewed the amazing AC-DC concert at River Plate’s stadium from a few years ago. Couldn’t help but think of Jen-Hsun Huang’s leather jacket when ‘Back in (Titan) Black’ played!
Damn, my previous comment just went off air, since I edited and posted a JP image/logo, lol….”
Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by DSOGaming.
Anyways, I like that ‘Back in (Titan) Black’ analogy. Perfectly fits here.
I’ve got tickets for OZ and Megadeth this July! 😀
Glad to hear that !
You mean the upcoming “No More Tours 2” concert ? Which venue/place have you chosen ? Last year’s Ozzfest was just awesome.
Yep that’s the one. My girlfriend got me a pair as a Christmas gift. I’ll be seeing the show up in Portland, Oregon. I think it was July but it could be June, one or the other.
Not sure what to expect with his age, but I haven’t seen him before so I’m glad to have the opportunity. Honestly I might be more excited for Megadeth as they’re one of my favorite bands, I’ve yet to see them as well and I hear they’re a pretty good live show.
when you have run out of GT-R-X GXR GX and dont know how to name your cards
Next up… Nvidia GTFO 1337.
John,
The image which you have linked isn’t working, because Videocardz doesn’t allow hotlinking of images.
Edit: Never mind. I think you have already made the correction ?

RTX2060 and the GTX1660Ti and the GTX 1060 and the GTX 660 and the GTX 660 TI, sorry what were we talking about?
“”According to the results, the PC system that was equipped with this latest GPU was 1200 points faster than a similar featuring an NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060″”
JOHN, kindly make the above correction in your artcile.
That’s a GTX 1060, and not rtx 2060. The card has scored 7400 points, which is 1200 points higher than the GTX 1060 card.
175-199$ Max
For 249$ we will have Navi 10 at June/July 😉
Should have named it as 1160 Ti, their names are getting super confusing. Now they cant use anything lower than 16xx or people think they are worse cards.
GTX 1100 > 1200 > 1300 >
RTX 2000 > 2100 > 2200 >
But no Nvidia, you just slam some random numbers

Hello JOHN,
Just more information has been leaked regarding the upcoming GTX 16 series graphics cards. According to HardOCP sources, NVIDIA will release three GTX 16 series graphics cards.
It is quite clear that the new series are called GeForce GTX 16. Even the PRICE has been confirmed. The 16: GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1660 and GTX 1650. According to HardOCP, NVIDIA will ALSO launch GTX 1650 for 179 USD later, probably in late March.
This would ultimately confirm that GTX Turing will stick to GTX 16XX naming schema.

Off Topic news from AMD though:
