Evga Xc Black Geforce Gtx 1660 Ti Single-fan 6gb Gddr6 Review

Introduction

NVIDIA today released the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and with it splits its client-segment discrete graphics lineup into the GeForce GTX series and GeForce RTX series. The RTX twenty-series starts at the $350-marking with the RTX 2060, while models beneath it are relegated to the GTX brand. The best part? Both are based on NVIDIA's latest 12 nm "Turing" architecture. What sets the two autonomously is right in the name—RTX existent-time raytracing technology.

NVIDIA probably figured that getting RTX to work even at 1080p requires a minimum number of RT cores and CUDA core horsepower, which cannot be scaled downwards across a certain betoken because enabling RTX features already exacts a roughly 30 percent performance tax, and NVIDIA wouldn't desire $200–$300 graphics cards being unable to play RTX-enabled games at 1080p at adequate frame rates. The RTX 2060 appears to exist positioned on that limit. In games without raytracing, the RTX 2060 has plenty muscle for 1440p resolution, but on games with RTX-enabled, playability swings halfway between 1080p and 1440p.

The easiest mode out of this problem for NVIDIA would exist to not carp with RTX below the $350-mark and instead focus on making the GPU every bit price-efficient as possible. With RTX out of the way, NVIDIA could physically remove RT cores that add billions of transistors to the silicon, making the chips smaller. Interestingly, NVIDIA also decided to axe tensor cores, specialized hardware that accelerate deep-learning neural internet building and training, shedding even more transistor load. The remaining CUDA cores are very much from the "Turing" compages and benefit from the increased IPC and higher clock-speed headroom obtained with the switch to 12 nm. The largest such GTX Turing flake is the new "TU116."

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the largest implementation of the TU116 and is existence offered at The states$279, which is virtually $60 higher than what the GTX 1060 6 GB "Pascal" is being sold at. In that sense, it'southward not a successor. It's endowed with 1,536 "Turing" CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 192-bit broad retentiveness interface, simply the memory is 50% faster. NVIDIA is using 12 Gbps GDDR6 memory, which belts out 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory amount is still 6 GB.

With this endeavor, NVIDIA is targeting two very singled-out classes of PC gamers across its lineup: the GTX "Turing" serial products, such as the GTX 1660 Ti, are intended for gamers who play online multiplayer titles such equally "Anthem," "Fortnite," or fifty-fifty "Battlefield V" with its heart-candy dialed downwards in favor of responsiveness and agility, while the RTX 20-series is targeted at people who play AAA games rich in eye-candy, real-time raytracing, and resolutions betwixt 1440p and 4K.

In this review, we're testing the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti 90 Black, which is a cost-optimized variant that targets the MSRP toll betoken of $279. Dissimilar other vendors, EVGA only uses a unmarried fan on their carte du jour and includes no backplate. The bill of fare doesn't come with an overclock out of the box, but has its power limit slightly increased, which should result in some extra performance.
