Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1660, or GTX 1650… should you buy a GeForce GTX Turing?
After the subdued launch of Nvidia’s GTX 1650 GPU, the full 16-series graphics card stack is now out in the wild, but should any of the new cards have a future place in your PC? We’ve tested the reference-clocked versions of all the new GeForce GTX Turing GPUs to see where they stand, and whether they’re worthy of your hard-earned cash-money.
Nvidia has launched a two-tier approach to its GPU stacks, first you have the upper class RTX 20-series graphics cards, such as the RTX 2080 for the well-heeled PC gamer with cash to burn, and then you have the GTX 16-series… for the proles. These are more your classic type of graphics card, without the fancy ray tracing and deep learning gubbins of their RTX superiors. Well, sort of.
The Turing GPUs at the heart of the RTX cards have specific silicon baked into them which allows for advanced graphics acceleration. Specifically for the complex, computationally intensive algorithms that deal with the hybrid rasterization techniques delivering our first taste of real-time ray tracing in gaming.
