Rumor: Nvidia to release GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with 1536 cores and gddr6

Nvidia is planning a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti video card, rumor has it. The card would get 1536 cuda cores and be equipped with gddr6-vram. It is a GTX card, so without support for ray tracing.

The rumor comes from Videocardz, which often correctly publishes information about unannounced video cards. The site relies on two sources and publishes a marketing image with the name, which, by the way, is not yet certain.

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti would be the first video card with Turing GPU that Nvidia releases under the GTX flag. That GPU would be the TU116, with 1536 cuda cores, where, for example, the RTX 2060 has the TU106 with 1920 cores enabled. According to the sources of Videocardz, the GTX 1660 does not get gddr5 or gddr5x, but gddr6 and the memory interface is 192 bits wide.

While the site doesn’t know a release date, it assumes Nvidia will release it once the GTX 1060 is gone from the market, which shouldn’t be long. There have been rumors for some time that Nvidia will come with a GTX 1xxx series next to the new RTX 20 models; previously the names GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1160 were mentioned.
