Interesting...but why do these images look artificial?...;) Look like "artist renderings"...! The first photos looked photochopped and sloppy--these look hand drawn/pre-rendered, almost. Don't think my eyes are quite that bad, yet...;)

I'm confused. What is the purpose of the 1660ti? Does Nvidia have a ton of leftover crypto parts they need to move so they slap them on a suped up 1600? at a cheaper price because I'm not saying cheap. If they were interested in cheap performance wouldn't a non RTX 1880GTX or something that slots between the 2060 and 2070 that is priced really well be a better option?

Looks more like engineering model renders to me. They don't have to be pretty, they just have to be accurate.

Well, my thinking is that anyone can do these if he has the right software. Actual product *pics* are far more convincing, imo. Most manufacturers use photographs for that reason, I'd guess. I just thought it a bit odd, that's all.

Take a look at Zotac's product pages and you'll see all their cards use the same low quality renders which is surprising to me. And yes anybody could do this given the right software. Give me a day with some rough measurements and Autodesk or Solidworks and I could make similar looking renders. Give me the STL files and I could probably have it done in a few hours with better res and lighting Yup photographs are the best way. There is no substitute for actual real time ray tracing.
