1660/1660 S = 1408 shader cores
1660Ti = 1536

Thanks H. Good idea 1 thread to cover all.

Don't forget, Ti has 12 Gbps GDDR6 and the SUPER 14 Gbps.

it certainly seems they'll need a 1660Ti super to justify them selling the 1660ti at a higher price than the non Ti that's for sure,

With only a few fps difference compared to the old 1660, this seems as pointless as rebrands, which is pretty funny since this actually has a real hardware difference in the form of the memory chips.

Luckily only you noticed that 😉

Pretty much the same perf at a better price, can't complain there really.
Denial
The problem with rebrands isn't that they are pointless, it's that they typically market the card as a generation newer. No one who bought the 1660 is going to upgrade to a 1660 super. For people looking to buy a card in the $230 price range - they just got a new option that's slightly faster. That's not a bad deal.

this card is the most over priced POS available right now i would never consider or recommend one of these with the current pricing of the RX 580 $220cad vs gtx 1660 super $340 cad its 50% more expensive even if u have to spend 80$ on a new PSU the RX 580 makes more sense to me

Obviously the super version of the 2060 and 2070 replaced just one card, here the 1660 Super has in effect replaced two as the faster memory seems to make up for the less cores, especially in DX12 games.
If nvidia added same memory to 1660ti for the 1660Ti Super the difference would appear again in performance, but it would be even more expensive than current ti and getting towards 5700 AMD.
Talking of which, AMD need to get the 5500/5600 out now to compete in this sector

It would make more sense to just drop 1660ti prices. Used 1070's are below 200$ at this point still faster than all these 1660's

Prices here in EU. Still too much i think. Like i said take look at used market. You can get a 1080 for this money.

is it my imagination or is Nvidia spamming new cards only to keep the headlines and battle AMD ?
also because they don't want to replace their high-end car which is the only thing enthusiasts are interested in (interested in upgrading my 1080ti but scared of the price)
Crazy Joe
Hilbert, it looks like you forgot to change a reference to the Quadro RTX 8000 on page 5. Either that or the text in that section is written in a very confusing way.

High pricing for a brand new GPU just launched? Who would have thought... 🙄
Wait a few more weeks for stocks to accumulate at retailers before looking at pricing.

Not impressive in the slightest, in my opinion.
They could drop 1660TI prices and make super version to replace the original TI instead of this.

Man if I were a 1660Ti owner I would not be too happy right about now...
Undying
Or even a 1660 non super.

That's different. This is literally the same chip as the 1660, just with better memory. The original 1660 and Ti variants just seem like beta tested hardware. But also remember, the Radeon VII remains its own product for the high end and prosumer, while the 5700XT is tiered for gaming only with half the vram and no FP64
