Nvidia GTX 1660-Ti

The GTX 1660 Ti the latest mid-range and mid-priced graphics card for gamers, succeeding the now two-year-old GTX 1060 6GB. As NVIDIA has tried to imply with their naming convention, the performance of this 16 series GPU lies somewhere between their 10 series and 20 series but the 16 does not contain any of the recent RTX cores, which given the lack of RTX ready games, by itself is no hindrance at all. The 1660 Ti features a new TU116 Turing based die, 6GB of VRAM, 1536 CUDA cores and has a 120W TDP which is a remarkably low power draw for its performance. The reference GPU clock speeds are 1500MHz and 1770MHz for the base and boost respectively, and manufacturer overclocked speeds will be higher. The 1660 Ti also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Early benchmarks show that the 1660 Ti has a clear 33% effective speed advantage over its $60 cheaper 1060 6GB predecessor and that it performs just 4% lower than the $80 more expensive GTX 1070 in terms of effective speed. As well as crowding out the direct competition from NVIDIA’s own 1070, at an opening price of $280, the GTX 1660 Ti competes squarely with AMD’s RX 590 ($260) which has an 18% lower effective speed. Perhaps this will be an impetus for AMD to adjust pricing for the RX 590 and offer something more value-led in the mid-range. [Feb '19 GPUPro]

Good average bench


The Nvidia GTX 1660-Ti averaged 25.8% lower than the peak scores attained by the group leaders. This isn't a great result which indicates that there are much faster alternatives on the comparison list.


Strengths


Avg. Locally-deformable PRT (Bat) 295fps
Avg. NBody particle system (Galaxy) 263fps
Very good consistency
The range of scores (95th - 5th percentile) for the Nvidia GTX 1660-Ti is just 12.8%. This is a relatively narrow range which indicates that the Nvidia GTX 1660-Ti performs reasonably consistently under varying real-world conditions.

Weaknesses


Avg. High dynamic range lighting (Teapot) 234fps
Avg. Parallax occlusion mapping (Stones) 269fps

Nvidia GTX 1660S (Super)

The GTX 1660 Super has a launch price of just $230 USD with comparable performance to the $280 USD 1660 Ti. The 1660 Super has 14 Gbps GDDR6 (versus 12Gbps GDDR6 for the 1660 Ti and 8Gbps GDDR5 for 1660). The 1660 range of cards sits in the sweet spot for many gamers because they offer superb 1080p EFps in popular titles and they are relatively hassle-free in terms of noise, compatibility and stability. The 1660S also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Shop prices will determine which 1660 series card represents the best value over time but at today's prices, the 1660 Super effectively undercuts the 1660 Ti by $50 USD thus challenging the RX 590 in terms of overall value at 1080p. The next step up from the 1660S would be to the $325 RTX 2060. [Oct '19 GPUPro] Poor: 65%Average: 69.9%Great: 74% Popular builds with this GPU MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02) (2,52...

NVIDIA A100 4x GPU HGX Redstone Platform

While the 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU “Delta” platform with NVSwitch got a lot of airtime during the Ampere launch, it was not the only platform being launched today by NVIDIA. The 4x GPU “Redstone” platform is a smaller NVLink mesh platform that is designed to be a lower-cost option. The NVIDIA A100 “Redstone” HGX platform is important since it is a smaller and less complex version of the HGX A100 platform. The Redstone platform incorporates 4x SXM NVIDIA A100 GPUs onto a PCB. As we saw with the Tesla A100 overview, the new GPUs have 12x NVlinks per GPU. Each NVLink provides 50GB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth for 600GB/s total. Redstone takes those 12 NVLinks and splits them into three groups. Instead of the NVIDIA NVSwitch solution we see on the HGX A100 platform, we get a mesh topology without switching. NVIDIA has offered both switched and non-switched systems for some time. This type of topology, NVIDIA has been using for years and is the basis for many important compute nodes. For ...

How I Overclocked Core i9-10900K to 7-GHz and Set World Records

Intel's latest and greatest consumer chip, the Core i9-10900K has been criticized, including in our review, for its massive power consumption and all the heat it generates. But this new 10-core chip is an absolute overclocking beast, if you have the right equipment and you know how to use it, as I did when I set several world records, getting a clock speed as high as 7,083 MHz. Due to its lower price and more reasonable power use, the Core i5-10600k is the daily driver of Intel's new Comet Lake S lineup. But the Core i9-10900K is the chip you take to the track on weekends. Yes, it uses a lot of power; it's loud, and it’s raw, but I don't care. Intel’s 14nm++++++  (or whatever the current joke is) process is as refined as 110 octane fuel. The Core i9-10900K comes with more cores than the 9900K, overclocks better, has a stronger memory controller, runs cooler, and it’s priced handsomely. There is everything to like about these chips.
