Is the 1660 ti worth it? Let's find out...

Now after that the GTX Geforce 1660 Ti in lebanon is available

Let's Find out all about it !

1660 ti in lebanon

Nvidia's latest Graphics Card arrives in the form of a new mid-range GPU with no RTX features on board. The new GeForce GTX 1660 Ti comes as no surprise as it’s been widely rumored for some time and most recent leaks were so detailed they virtually confirmed its existence, down to the exact specs and pricing.


Compared to the RTX 2060, the GTX 1660 Ti packs 25% fewer CUDA cores, but because it also drops the RT and Tensor cores the die is 36% smaller. When compared to the Pascal-based GTX 1060 6GB, the 1660 Ti die is 42% larger, but only packs 20% more CUDA cores.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Performance

Ideally, At PcHub we retest every GPU with the latest drivers each time a new card gets released,

We did retest everything for Nvidia's Turing launch, plus adding several new games since then. The new games were tested with the latest drivers available at the time, and the GTX 1660 Ti is using review drivers that carry the same 418.91 version number as the publicly available drivers.

Our GPU test system uses a Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5.0GHz to help minimize CPU bottlenecks during testing, along with other high-end components. For budget and mid range graphics cards, the test system is perhaps overkill, but this allows all the graphics cards to reach their full performance potential.

We have tested 19 games on 20 graphics cards for this initial review, including several new additions, at four setting/resolution combinations per game. Testing is conducted at 1080p 'medium' quality, along with 'ultra' quality at 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. In most games the ultra preset maxes out all the options, while in games that don't include presets We've manually maxed out the settings (eg, GTA5's advanced graphics menu, other than superscaling). Some games punish cards with less than 6GB or even 8GB of VRAM at these settings, but in general the GTX 1660 Ti should be fine.















 

GTX Geforce 1660 Ti Overclocking

Now let's talk overclocking, while the official boost clock is 1875 MHz , We saw peak clockspeeds already hitting 1975MHz. The earlier Turing GPUs in the GeForce RTX cards have all hit their limits right around 2000MHz, so I wasn't sure how much more I could get. Memory speed on the other hand seems quite tame, considering all the other GDDR6 RTX cards are running easily at 14 GT/s stock. It feels like a bit of an intentional limit to keep the GTX 1660 Ti from encroaching on RTX 2060 territory.


We took our standard approach to GPU overclocking with MSI Afterburner. First, We set the voltage to +100 and cranked the power limit to its maximum (120 percent), and just to be on the safe side We set the GPU fans to a steady 80 percent. Temperatures stayed frosty during testing (50C max—this is one cool cucumber), and the fans aren't even that loud at this speed, so the large cooler and double fans are definitely doing their job. Then we set about seeing how far we could push the GPU core and memory clocks.


The GDDR6 performed about as we expected: we was able to max out the memory speed slider at +1500 MHz, which ends up being 15 GT/s. (We've been able to hit close to 16 GT/s on some of the RTX cards, if you're wondering.)



 


Bottom Line


The GTX 1660 Ti may be the first GPU release in a while that we’ve come away feeling completely pleased. We’re getting GTX 1070-like performance for a slight price premium over the GTX 1060 6GB, Without any competition from AMD at the moment we think this is a pretty good result.

Whereas the 1660 Ti can be used for high refresh rate 1080p gaming or 1440p gaming. It’s also much more efficient and we expect all cards to run cool and quiet.


In the meantime though, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the new sub-$400 king,
