NVIDIA's GeForce RTX lineup completed with the GeForce RTX 2060 and NVIDIA is now moving to offer more affordable graphics cards under their GeForce GTX family. Featuring the same Turing GPU architecture, the new GeForce GTX graphics cards will exclude ray tracing, but feature faster shading performance through the enhanced GPU design while utilizing the 12nm process node.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Custom Designs, Specifications Leak Out As Card Gets Listed Online By Retailers

Update (11/02/2019): While you are reading this, Videocardz has posted more images of a few more custom models coming in from EVGA and Palit. The specific model is the EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC (Black) and the Palit GeForce GTX 1660 Ti StormX. The EVGA cards come in a triple slot design with a seriously beefy heatsink and single fan cooler while the Palit variant comes in a dual-slot single fan design. The cards are said to launch officially on 22nd of February around the price points I previously mentioned below. The custom models are likely to cost a bit extra while giving you higher factory overclocks.

The latest leaks come from Videocardz who have not only managed to track some online listings but also got pictures of the first packaging of a custom design from an APAC AIB (Add-in-board) partner. The card in question is the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Ti which is a custom model offering dual fan cooler and OC capabilities. The card features 6 GB GDDR6 VRAM, DirectX 12 support, ANSEL support and also has "Turing Shaders" which pretty much confirms that these cards will utilize the existing Turing GPU architecture.

What's interesting here is that the packaging doesn't mention ray tracing at all which was a high-light on GeForce RTX series packaging. This also confirms the second detail we knew about these cards that they won't feature ray tracing cores or won't have the necessary power to run games with ray tracing enabled.

Other specs include the display configuration which comes with DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort. You can note the lack of the USB Type-C (Virtual Link) connector but that was also not offered on many custom RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 cards. There isn't much to see on the back side of the box but at least this leak confirms that we will get custom models ready for launch.

In other news, we also got to see retailer listings online a few days ago with custom models from various AIBs being listed on retailer websites. Previously known specifications such as the base clock of 1500 MHz, boost clock of 1770 MHz and a memory frequency of 12.0 Gbps are confirmed. The listing also confirms 1536 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, and a single 8 pin power connector to boot up the card.
