Nvidia Releases GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, Now Available For PC Master Race

The newly announced GeForce GTX 1660 Ti was just released today, offering speeds up to 3x faster than a GTX 960 and 1.5x faster than a GTX 1060.

Based on the 12th generation Turing architecture, the new card takes advantage of all of Turing’s shader innovations to deliver twice the TOPS of the previous-generation Pascalâ„¢ architecture. It supports concurrent floating point and integer operations, a unified cache architecture with 3x the L1 cache, and turbocharged performance using adaptive shading technology.

Sipping Power

The Turing architecture performs 1.5x instructions per clock and 1.4x the power efficiency of Pascal, which was touted as the best power-efficient card on the market.

As result, the GTX 1660 Ti sips power with a power envelope of 120 watts, making it the best performance per watt of any GPU in its class.

Buttery Smooth Performance

The GTX 1660 Ti is set to surpass its predecessors and shine in modern games with complex shaders. It is up to 1.5x faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and allows performance up to 120 frames per second at 1080p in popular online titles such as Fortnite, PUBG and the stellar battle royale, Apex Legends.

The GPU features 1,536 CUDA® cores, 6GB of the new GDDR6 memory running at 12Gbps and a boost clock of almost 1.8 GHz, which can be easily overclocked to provide extra horsepower for better performance.

According to Nvidia, more than two-thirds of current gamers are still playing on GPUs that only have the performance — or lower — of a GTX 960-class GPU that came out in 2014. Fret not, gamers, as the 1660 Ti offers up to 3x the performance of the 960 making it an excellent and cost-effective upgrade for those who want to enjoy dramatically faster frame rates in games.

Trick Up Its Sleeve

The GTX 1660 Ti also includes GeForce Experience™, the application that simplifies gaming and easy-to-use features such as:

• NVIDIA Highlights — which automatically captures the best gaming moments.
• NVIDIA Ansel — a tool for stunning in-game photos.
• NVIDIA Freestyle — which lets gamers customize their games’ appearance with post-processing technology.

Availability and Pricing

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti custom boards are available starting today from the world’s leading add-in card providers, including ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and Zotac. Pricing starts at RM1,250 on Nvidia’s official Lazada page and will vary based on partner designs and features.
