I suspect my next video card might be a 1660TI equivalent. My 1070TI is fine for 1080 gaming, but at 4k would be a bottleneck.
I could buy a future 7nm 2000 series type card, but at this point ray tracing and DLSS seem to me to be not worth the vast cost increase / framerate nerf of the card.
A 7nm 1660TI equivalent will probably have vastly more ram bandwidth than my 1070TI, and Nvidia is claiming a big increase in rasterization performance. As long as it has 8gig of Vram, a 7nm 1660TI equivalent card might be the best price/performance for standard rasterized gaming at 4k ! (when i say equivalent i dont mean the same specs as, i mean the same market segmentation position - the best Nvidia 7nm card you can buy that does not have RT and DLSS cores)
