Nvidia Reportedly Working on GTX 1660 Ti with 1536 CUDA Cores

Rumours of an Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti have been circulating since late December, but now more evidence is emerging that such a graphics card is in the works, delivering performance levels that exceed a GTX 1060 while offering a price point that is below the recently released RTX 2060 (Full Review here).    
Videocardz has claimed that two new sources have confirmed that a Turing-based GTX graphics card is in the works, releasing for a lower price tag than Nvidia’s RTX offerings while lacking support for Nvidia’s RTX features (DLSS and Ray Tracing). 

Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti is said to offer 1536 CUDA cores, a 256 core boost over the GTX 1060 while providing increase per SM performance thanks to Turing’s independent integer and floating point execution pipelines, a factor that gives Turing a distinct advantage over Pascal in modern game renderers. 

It has also been reported that the GTX 1660 Ti will also offer 6GB of GDDR6 memory, giving the graphics card a significant boost in memory performance over the GTX 1060. This boost can be anything between 50% and 75% depending on what speed of GDDR6 memory Nvidia plans to offer, with both 12Gbps and 14Gbps being viable options for the GTX 1660 Ti.
