Turing Discussion Thread

In short, the data we’re going to examine should be treated as interesting and useful, but not the absolute final word on the topic.

I don’t want to read too much into these graphs. We have a limited number of Turing data points to pull from and only a few months of data to work with. But the pattern suggests that Turing sales are indeed lagging Pascal in ways that may not be entirely explained by either higher prices, previous models still being in-market, or a larger user-base of Steam gamers.

Turing adoption should improve now that Pascal cards are exiting the market, but the GPU family appears to be off to a slow start. All of this is in-line with Nvidia’s market warning, but it’s interesting to see what the differences might be. There is a little good news in the SHS for NV, however — the RTX 2070 posted strong growth, nearly doubling its market share. Other strong movers (in terms of share gain) include the GTX 1070 (up 0.18 percent) and AMD’s RX 580 (up 0.15 percent)

A Russian retailer has leaked more specifications of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. Based on the 12 nm "TU116" silicon, this card will be configured with 1,536 "Turing" CUDA cores, but have no RT cores, and hence no RTX features. The chip could end up with 96 TMUs and 48 ROPs. The GPU is clocked at 1500 MHz nominal, and the boost frequency is set at 1770 MHz, however, the latter could be a factory-overclock set by AIC partner Palit for their GTX 1660 Ti StormX graphics card.

The memory subsystem of the GTX 1660 Ti is interesting. While it's still 6 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit wide memory bus, the memory clock itself is lower than that of the RTX 2060. The memory ticks at 12 Gbps, which results in 288 GB/s of memory bandwidth, compared to the RTX 2060, which thanks to its 14 Gbps memory achieves 336 GB/s. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Outputs include HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI, we don't expect any cards to ship with VirtualLink.
