Quote:Both the 1660 and 1650 Ti are expected to use GDDR5, not the faster, more expensive GDDR6 that debuted with upper-end GPUs in the product stack. The GeForce 1660 should be competition for the RX 590, given that it increases core counts by ~10 percent over the GTX 1060. Overall power consumption will undoubtedly favor Nvidia in this comparison, whether the RX 590 or RX 580 is the reference target. We’ll reserve thoughts on absolute performance until we see shipping data, though we’d expect broad performance parity. Power on the 1660 looks to be provided by a single 8-pin PCIe port.

Assuming these are the configurations Nvidia brings to market, it doesn’t look as though the company intends to particularly challenge AMD below the $200 price point. To be fair, there isn’t much sign it needs to do so. The latest figures from Jon Peddie Research show AMD losing significant market share in Q4 2018 compared with Q3, and performing even more poorly against Q4 2017.
