Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti performs almost 20 percent better than GTX 1060

At CES 2019, Nvidia launched the latest graphics card in the RTX series. With the new Geforce RTX 2060, Nvidia covers the price ranges from SEK 4,000 and up, while the older GTX 1000 series is still what Nvidia has to offer everyone who is looking for a cheaper graphics card.

Now what are said to be performance figures are published in Ashes of the Singularity with Geforce GTX 1660 Ti, which is believed to be the name of Nvidia’s model during RTX 2060. It is worth mentioning that the result is said to come from a laptop and that it can thus be expected to perform better. stationary use.

With the preset “High (1080p)” in the built-in performance test, the model brings home a result of 7,400 points, while a GTX 1060 in portable design should land on 6,200 points. This corresponds to an increase of approximately 19 percent compared to Nvidia’s popular graphics card in the middle segment.

Interesting in this context is that the increase more or less corresponds to the increase in CUDA cores that it is rumored that the Geforce GTX 1660 Ti will receive. Today’s GTX 1060 has 1,280 CUDA cores, while the infamous GTX 1660 Ti will have 1,536, ie 20 percent more.

That the increase in performance is in line with the number of cores can actually mean two things. One is that the Geforce GTX 1660 Ti is in fact based on the aging architecture Pascal and not Turing, which delivers significantly improved performance per CUDA core. The second is that the GTX 1660 Ti is based on Turing and has significantly lower clock frequencies for laptops than desktops.

Many details about the GTX 1660 Ti are still shrouded in obscurity, including the name where it is said that it may be called the GTX 1160. Apart from 6 GB of graphics memory, the only thing that is really “known” is that the model is delivered without RT cores and support for ray tracing in real time.

When the graphics card regardless of its name or specifications is released is also not known. However, Nvidia’s CEO recently announced that the Geforce GTX 1060 will soon disappear from the market, which in any case suggests that a replacement should be on the way.
