Reviews: A GeForce GTX 1660 Threesome - MSI Ventus and Gaming X and Palit StormX
NVIDIA today launches their mainstream GeForce GTX 1660 that sits at roughly 219 USD. Not to confuse with the Ti model, this iteration of the graphics cards has 1408 shader processors and is tied towards 6GB of GDDR5 memory. The GTX series is different from the RTX series in respect that they do not have Tensor or Raytracing cores. make no mistake though, this is Turing architecture based on the 12nm FF TU116 GPU.
The end result is a product that takes on the Radeon RX 580 and 590, and does that quite well. We have prepared three initial reviews for today, two from MSI and one Mini ITX version from Palit.

Where is this coming from?
Nvidia has just released the new graphics lineup, and it's built entirely at 12nm. They have no 7nm product in sight. So why would they be even attempting to allocate 7nm. Let alone have allocation issues.
You know damn well who's having "7nm issues"
Issue nVidia has is allocation of 7nm production capacity.

Maybe we will never know, but I think the hate that RTX got coupled with the low RTX sales will definitely accelerate the timeline for Nvidia.
Investors are not remotely pleased about the results lately.
I already expressed my belief that RTX sales are picking up. I could be wrong, but that is the impression I got tracking the hell out of RTX during my latest GPU hunt. And from this I concluded tat NV won't be lowering their prices any time soon, so WTH --> I pulled the trigger.
We already know that they have been smashing AMD, and this was even be4 the mainstay 1660/Ti was introduced.
We don't know if NV's absolute sales numbers are good. They are not as good as relative numbers, cos AMD has it's problems too, but I am telling you the winds are changing. NV sales reached the bottom last quarter, and now the only way is up.

It's not about "feeling" we have official numbers and Nvidia officially addressed it.

Yeah - numbers from 3 months ago.
I don't know where you're pulling feeling from, but in the meantime NV smashed AMD. According to official industry numbers.

Only nvidia card worth buying right now is 2070. That thing overclocked can be fast as 2080 for much less.
This 6gb nvidia gtx/rtx cards just amuses me.
