MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Spotted - Listed with 6GB GDDR5
As expected, and it was only a matter of time before some sort of leak would occur on this product series. It's now obvious that the soon to be released GeForce GTX 1660 (read it well, the non-Ti model) is fitted with GDDR5 graphics memory, 6 GB of it.
Some products from the MSI lineup have surfaced at Videocardz. Interesting is that the product now to be said shader proc count is 1408. The TU116-300 GPU empowered cards would see a reference base clock speed of 1530 MHz with a turbo to 1785 MHz. Custom models would go up to 1860 MHz on that boost frequency. They mention a price of 219 USD with a release on the 14th.

If those specs are accurate, Nvidia will obliterate RX series. AMD is gonna shut down until Navi release. This 1660 will trample RX 590 at a better price and RX 580 will be a huge 8gb joke.

If the 1660 tramples the 590 then it would be at 1660ti levels, which doesn't make much sense. From what I see it's going to perform within margin of error with the 580 and cost a bit more.
Not really excited to be honest.

Navi will outperform this cards by a large. 1660 cards is just a way for nvidia to compete at midrange until then.

Leaks talk about 10% less CUDA cores compared to the TI, the 1660TI is 20% faster on avg than the 590. so it sounds like the 1660 would be very close to a 590 in terms of performance
I would dare to guess that it's going to be slightly faster for newer games that can utilize the dedicated INT/FP16 instructions.
while ofc being half the TDP of the 590.

If AMD doesn't show anything Navi related in GDC, I might just grab one.....
sad times.
