It's clear that NVIDIA is preparing to release a non-RTX enabled GeForce GTX 1660 / 1660 Ti soon. Next tp the plethora of rumors and leaked info, AIDA just started adding support for a GPU called TU116.
It is suggested there will be two video cards based on the chip, namely the GTX 1660 and the 1660 Ti. The Ti variant will very likely get GDDR6 graphics memory, the non-Ti would get GDDR5 graphics memory as well as a 6GB and 3GB configuration. The 1660 series would not have raytracing cores. It remains unknown if tensor cores are present. We expect the cards to occupy the 200 to 300 USD price domain. AIDA release notes now show the following.
| Nvidia GeForce | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GTX 1060 | GTX 1660 | GTX 1660 Ti | RTX 2060 | |
| GPU | GP106 | 12nm FF TU116 | 12nm FF TU116 | 12nm FF TU106 |
| Shader cores | 1280 | 1280 | 1536 | 1920 |
| Memory | 6 GB / 3GB GDDR5 | 6GB / 3GB GDDR5 | 6GB GDDR6 | 6GB GDDR6 |
| Memory bus | 192-bit | 192-bit | 192-bit | 192-bit |
Above the expected configuration of the pending cards, the specs however remain speculation until announced. Thanks Thel Vadam for this spot.
Update: meanwhile at some etailers videocardz spotted, some of the listings for 1660 Ti cards also have surfaced.
