Hmm. I wonder if anything bigger will become a thing, since I'd be quite intrigued by a cheaper "2880TI", just maybe got Tensors, don't care about RT (yet).
After Jensen Huang's comments on Vega VII, Nvidia releasing a non-RTX card above the entry level would be laughable. That's why I don't even believe there's going to be a GTX 1160 (1660?) Ti in the first place. There might be 1130-1150 (Ti) (1330-1550?) because no real gamer would buy those anyway, so raytracing and such are irrelevant.
People that are still satisfied with 1080p. Ray tracing at this point is a joke. Spending over a grand on a new technology that cuts your framerate and resolution in half is just stupid. I'm not judging anybody, I've just always a best bang for your buck gamer for almost 20 years.
Would be funny if 11xx cards released. Who would buy a 2060 if 1160 was same performance but $50 cheaper? RT is virtually useless on a 2060 in its expected life span. Would be embarrassing for Nvidia if 2060 sales grind to a halt with a 1160 release.
I remembered something, what is Nvidia going to do with all the GPUs that have faulty tensor cores?... Maybe selling them as a card without RT capacity?
Well said. Novidia has its money on RTX, they will go full davai on it. Same as they go on with GSync. There no Novidia GPU without GSync support, it's part of "the experience".
I'm just tempted to grab whatever Nvidia has to offer in that range of GPUs after having read though the whole ACC benchmark thread and how much AMD hardware struggles with it. I mean there's nothing wrong with the RTX 2060, but I don't want to pay said "rtx tax" as @Fox2232 so eloquently put it. However I'm going to keep my money for now and I want to see some 1160 vs. 30XX benchmarks first, but we already know how that's going to play out. Notice how I couldn't even get the name right; "1160", it's very confusing to say the least, well played.
not 11xx but 16xx https://www.hardocp.com/news/2019/01/23/nvidia_1660_ti_will_launch_on_february_15_at_279/
