The AchieVer Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Final Fantasy XV Pre-Release Benchmarks Leaked – Slightly Faster Than A GTX 1070 Another day, another leak, this time from the known twitter profile TUM_APISAK who spotted that the Final Fantasy XV benchmark database has already been updated with NVIDIA’s latest upcoming mid-range graphics card: the GTX 1660 Ti. According to the scores, the GTX 1660 Ti will net (very) slightly higher performance than a standard GTX 1070. This is also roughly equal performance as a GTX 980 Ti. NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (barely) beats out a GTX 1070 and within spitting distance of the AMD Radeon VII As always with any leak this close to release, we are probably looking at the non-final drivers (NVIDIA has the irritating habit of delaying a release of final drivers to nullify performance leaks like this one) so the performance will probably improve slightly once the final and polished drivers are out for everyone to use. Here is the benchmark in all its glory: RELATEDNVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2070 Sales Lower Than Expected, Gaming Revenue Down 45% – Crypto and Excess Channel Inventory Also To Blame Screenshot captured from Final Fantasy XV benchmark database. As you can see the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti scores 5000 points, which is just 52 points below the 980 Ti and 283 points below the Radeon VII. This is easily a GTX 1070 replacement considering the GTX 1070 Ti is still 627 points further ahead while the GTX 1080 is a full 1174 points ahead. Depending on how NVIDIA prices the 1660 Ti this could be the new crowd favorite considering it offers very decent performance and the only question mark right now is the price point NVIDIA decides to push this out at. Considering, however, that the RTX series did not fare well at the very high price points, I would not be surprised to see NVIDIA going very conservative in pricing with these (which is good for the consumer). The GeForce GTX 1660 will have 6GB of GDDR5 memory with a 192-bit bus. The memory will be clocked at 4000 MHz while the clock speed will be 1530 MHz base and 1785 MHz boost. The card will feature the TU116-300 die and the board number is PG165. The fact that the GTX 1660 Ti is the same board number as the RTX 2060 means that we are probably looking at the tensor and RTX cores disabled via hardware straps. It is also worth noting that a 3GB version of the GTX 1660 is also being planned – with 3GB of GDDR5 memory and 4000 MHz clocks. The 1660 Ti, on the other hand, will have 6GB of GDDR6 memory and a 192-bit bus. This will be clocked at 6000 MHz which is considerably faster than the 1660 counterpart. The base clock will be 1500 MHz with boost at 1770 MHz. The card is based on the TU116-400 die and the board number is PG161 – which is the same board number as the RTX 2060. This also means the die will be pin compatible with the 2060. The core counts leaked by VCZ put the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660 at 5.44 TFLOPs and 4.57 TFLOPs respectively. In comparison, the RTX 2060 is going to be 6.45 TFLOPs. The ROP counts can also be inferred using these core count specifications. The GTX 1660 Ti should be priced somewhere around the $279 mark and a good enough price point could make this the new entry-level champion. With these specs, you are looking at 1070-or-more level performance.

Matrix Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Final Fantasy XV benchmark places the GTX 1660 Ti on par with GTX 1070 Highly anticipated: The GTX 1660 Ti has been spotted in the Final Fantasy XV benchmark database, where it was able to match the GTX 1070 and outperform the GTX 1060 by miles. If it comes in at the anticipated price of $279, it could be the mid-range savior many gamers have been hoping for. A score of 5000 points would make the new GPU 40% faster than the GTX 1060 6GB, and 70% faster than the GTX 1060 3GB in this specific benchmark. Currently those two cards are available from $200-300 and $150-250, respectively, so the GTX 1660 Ti would be better value than all but the cheapest 1060 3GB models on offer. Compared to the GTX 1070, 1070 Ti and Vega 56, the GTX 1660 Ti still comes away strong. All three currently sit in the $300-$550 bracket, so while they can match or slightly exceed the performance of the 1660 Ti they’re still more expensive. However, there’s one key feature the older cards have the GTX 1660 Ti doesn’t: 8 GB of memory. The 1660 Ti is expected to have just 6GB. As the only benchmark run on the 1660 Ti was at 2560 x 1440 on the High preset, it’s only speculation, but there’s a good chance that the older GPUs may be better value for 4K gaming, particularly if their prices drop in reaction to the new card. Benchmark entry first spotted by Apisak. Judging from the specs we’ve seen leaked from Russian retailers, the 1660 Ti shouldn’t really be able to catch up to the GTX 1070, which features 25% more cores that are clocked 5% slower. While the 1660 Ti does use much faster GDDR6 compared to the GDDR5 employed by the 1070, that may not be enough of an advantage. It’s worth considering that this may be a more expensive factory overclocked edition. Regardless, the new benchmark indicates that the 1660 Ti is a poised to be solid improvement over the status quo, if not amazingly better. We’ll have to wait and see until we receive a review sample and benchmark the card more thoroughly, which should be sometime around the leaked February 22nd release date. Original Article.
