GeForce GTX Series 11 back in the picture? (GeForce GTX 1160 and RTX 2060)

GeForce GTX Series 11 back in the picture? (GeForce GTX 1160 and RTX 2060)

Prior to the RTX launch, people expected a GeForce GTX 1100 series graphics cards. There's no doubt, GeForce RTX 2060 is coming, however, looks to be a limited 2070. That means it has Tensor and RT cores, which makes the product expensive. 

A new rumor that floated upstream today over in Asia, the GeForce GTX 1100 series might come into play. The GeForce GTX 1160 (we'll just name it that for now) would be a GPU with no RT (Raytracing) cores, that would save a lot of money and make the mainstream product mainstream priced again.

If this story has any merit then yes, NVIDIA would be splitting towards two product lines, GTX and RTX. Behind a password protected segment at Expreview word is that the new 1100 series would be based on Turing GPUs, just without RT units. I do have a severe reservations about that as it would be very expensive to divert from the existing architecture. Then again, NVIDIA does need an answer to address the market, otherwise, 2019 is going into the history of being their worst year in GPU sales.

The GeForce RTX 2060 would feature TU106-200 GPU, while the GeForce GTX 1160 would be a cut-down TU116 instead. It is mentioned that the product would get tensor cores though.

As usual, take the chatter with a healthy grain of salt and the common disclaimers.

Wtf? Why not just call it GTX2060 and RTX2060. You know, one capable of ray tracing other not.

This^^ Calling the new cards 1160 seems silly because "average" are going to think they are from an older generation... RTX for RT cards and GTX for non RT makes more sense.

Yeah, initially thats what I thought when they released the RTX, that a GTX version would come out later... but going back in numbers is :eek: :eek::eek :o_Oo_Oo_O

I agree it should just be GTX2060 and RTX2060.

Not as confusing as i9 9900X (2066) vs. i9 9900K (1151) lol
