It also has built in Raytracing, but not enough for it to have the whole game running with it enabled, due to its lack of dedicated Raytracing cores. So if the entire game were to be in real time, there is simply too much real time lighting calculations for the GTX range to handle, so they come to a halt. The difference is that the RTX range has a dedicated core to process this, where Pascal don’t, as they rely on their single Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) core to handle everything. The lighting made my this light is real time, otherwise it wouldn’t look natural. Your character might be carrying a fire torch or a spotlight in game, as it lights up the environment as you walk through it. They have to have it in order to do basic lighting calculations, even when using Rasterization, as not everything in a game is baked lighting. All Pascal cards have some form of Raytracing capabilities. While Nvidia have marketed the Pascal cards as having no Raytracing, its not entirely true. The RTX 2060 has 25% more Stream Multi-Processor Cores (CUDA CORES), although ever so slightly slower base and boost clock speeds. Getting back to the sub $349 price bracket, let’s take a look at how the RTX 2060 compares to the GTX 1660 Ti.īoth cards use the Turing 12nm architecture, although the RTX 2060 has almost double the die size, resulting in 64% more transistors for binary calculations, on its TU106-200A processor, although requiring more power during operation. You can check out my RTX 2070 vs 1070 Ti Benchmark review to see how they compare in performance as well. A much better buy in the $500 price bracket would be the RTX 2070 on Amazon instead. There are still GTX 1070 Ti stock available to buy on Amazon, although prices have increased due to the fact that the cards are no longer being manufactured. In my previous review, we saw that the NVIDIA RTX 2060 has very similar benchmark results, compared to the GTX 1070 Ti, so the question is how the new GTX 1660 Ti compares at it’s price bracket. Today we will be taking a look at these two Nvidia graphics cards to see which one comes out on top, as the best option to buy in 2019.įrom looking at the differences between the RTX 2060 and the GTX 1660 Ti, we see that these two cards are of a similar price bracket vs performance (depending on if the GTX 1660 Ti has a triple fan configuration or not).
