Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti models with 3GB on the way

At the end of last month we saw a multitude of graphics cards based upon the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti documented by the EEC, the Eurasian Economic Union common trade body. A number of Gigabyte and MSI branded cards were listed at that time. These documentary notifications occur ahead of sale / distribution of imported electronics in EEC countries such as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia.

Late yesterday VideoCardz spotted a new crop of GTX 1660 Ti cards had appeared in the EEC database - from Asus this time around. The Asus GTX 1660 Ti range looks to be the biggest yet, which isn't so surprising, but what has cause a raised eyebrow or two is that the manifest includes some 3GB variants for the first time.

A recent Asus TUF graphics card design

In brief, Asus will be releasing twenty Dual, Expedition, Phoenix, TUF, Turbo, and ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics cards, with almost half of them with 3GB versions, and about half accounted for by OC (factory overclocked) variants. The code names given in the EEC documents, such as DUAL-GTX1660Ti-3G, convert to more readable model names such as the Asus GTX 1660 Ti Dual with 3GB. VideoCardz has produced a handy reference table, similar to below.

As you can see above, some models have up to six variants, a 'regular' version, an Advanced version with slightly higher clocks, and OC version which is overclocked, and then you have further permutations due to the 3GB or 6GB VRAM configurations.

It is expected that we will see the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti launched a little over a week from now, on 22^nd Feb. Pricing should sit somewhere between the RTX 2060 and current GTX 1060. Elsewhere in this gap, at a later date, we should see the introduction of the GTX 1660 (non Ti version).
