Let’s get this out of the way now. The GTX 1660 Ti is a terrible, terrible name. It’s confusingly similar to Nvidia’s existing GTX 1060, implying it’s some sort of weird, halfway house between that and the GTX 1070, when in fact it’s actually part of Nvidia’s new Turing family, which is the same GPU inside their new RTX 20-series cards, making it, in effect, much more closely related to the RTX 2060 than anything else. It’s a mess, really, and isn’t helped by Nvidia’s somewhat weak justification for starting a new 16-series is because 16 is closer to 20 than 10 (seriously).
But! Naming conventions aside, the GTX 1660 Ti is actually a pretty swish graphics card – and potentially even a best graphics card contender for those after top notch quality at 1920×1080. Priced from £260 / $279, that’s £70 / $70 less than the cheapest RTX 2060, and much more in line with what the GTX 1060 originally cost all those years ago before graphics card prices went a bit loopy. And yet this little tiddler (or not so tiddly in the case of Asus’ ROG Strix OC edition on the left up top there) isn’t just more powerful than the GTX 1060. It’s also even nippier than the GTX 1070, and in a lot of cases even brushing up against the RTX 2060. Which ain’t bad for a card under £300 / $300.
