AIDA64 Adds Support for NVIDIA TU116 GPU (GeForce GTX 1660)

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.

The 1660ti looks like it could be interesting if priced well, not sure about the non-ti versions, they look more like a rehash of the 1060 instead of a new turning chip. be interesting to see reviews however and price/performance ratios

the 1660Ti is rumored to be at 280$ and performance around the 1070 while having 6GB instead of 8GB.
the only savior for Turing is that Navi seems to be far off into 2019....

1660ti 280$
rx590 260$
1660 230$
rx580 180$

Mid range competition until Navi replaces Polaris.

Despite having the same core count as the 1060 and having GDDR5 memory, the 1660 is still a Turing chip, so I guess we should see it perform slightly better than the 1060 (I'm speculating it to be competitive with the RX 590, maybe).
