Nvidia 1600 series to be released soon

there are rumors that 3 cards will be sold the 1660Ti, which is suppose to be 16% faster that a 1060 for $279, 1660 in early march for $229 and a 1650 in late march for $179.

further speculation is that these cards will not have RT cores or have the RT cores disabled or something something no ray tracing. i dont get it it but there must be a market for such cards or else they would not sell them.

thoughts

You can't have most of the big benefits of ray tracing at high frames on rtx 2060 (at least without plenty of sacrifices). If they can provide a cheaper non ray traced version with similar performance then I think it would be a smart move.

If any of these cards dont require a 6-pin power connection, I’m in for my emulation box. I need something stronger than a 1050 Ti.

How do these compare to RTX 2060?

I was actually looking for an upgrade over my GTX 1050. Will be waiting for the benchmarks for 1660ti.

Much slower, The 1660ti with ashes benchmark shows it setting between GTX 1060 and GTX 1070

Ikr? RTX 2060 seems like a stellar deal. I guess Nvidia over-corrected after the launch of the high-end cards.

Yeah?

Hmm... I was thinking of building one with the AMD Raven Ridge APUs.

So 2050(Ti) with another name.

I heard they're about to release 3 GPUs GTX1660Ti, 16603Gb and 6Gb

The 1660Ti should be slower than RTX2060 for a price of 350$, AMD should offer RX3080 = hopefully of RTX2070 for the same price point.

Nvidia really flooded the market with all those mid range 2060 variations and as you can see now 1160 as well, I'm not sure what gamers will think about this since it'll be damn confusing, will they buy those or just go straight to 2070?

Just skip this whole clusterfuck of a gen and save yourself the money/headache.

Same for the RTX2080 and 2080ti imho

Just provide cheaper alternatives that offer the power, but not the RTX tech.

@R4gn4r0k: The 2080 and Ti have good performance in battlefield v ray tracing without sacrificing usual settings. Dlss would make it even better. Problem is we need a higher sample size. Give it 2 gpu gens and PC's will be knocking ray tracing out of the park (with more reasonable pricing) ;).

@XVision84: I'm all about brute power at the moment. I'm playing Battlefield V at 3440x1440 and 120FPS.

Raytracing would limit me at playing at 60FPS which I just don't want.

@R4gn4r0k: I get around 80-90fps w/dxr medium 2560x1440 depending on the map. I don't like battlefield and only use it for rtx testing though so it would be nice to see it in other games (I got battlefield v for free w/my pc parts). Just hoping for similar performance from metro.

If you want good performance with excellent graphics in Battlefield V, I'd be happy to share my settings with you :)

I tweaked around a bit and now I get 120FPS on average at 3440x1440, only when there is a huge amount of chaos going on do I get slight framedrops.

@R4gn4r0k: Thank you but I hardly play battlefield so it really wouldn't be worth your time :)

Some of us enjoy the headaches though...

I am, I just following it to keep up. I've got a 6gb 1060 and it serves me well, I've only got a 1080p 60hz monitor anyway not going to do good, until I can upgrade my tv from 4k to 4k 100hz.
