And that's how Nvidia make money from the Joe public with their fancy wordings in their marketing and misleading consumers

NV have 'perfected' the art of reversing performance.

No, the VRam is faster and with more bandwidth.

No, slower than a 1070/there is 2gb less
According to this leak:
https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/...del-information-leaks-from-multiple-retailers
The 1660ti has 288GB/S comapred to 256GB/S for the 1070.
Additionally, the 1660ti has much better data compression, in games it will be less bandwidth limited.
There is 2GB less but that wont be an issue at all just like it isn't with the 2060.
Remember, the 1660ti uses much faster GDDR6, while the 1070 doesn't even use GDDR5X but the vanilla GDDR5
How else do you compare new GPUS
Create a time machine and test it against an unreleased future GPU form 2025?Just seems like a monumental gapHow else do you compare new GPUS

No, it is GTX 1070 performance level.
So I found 2 GTX 1660 Ti benchmarks and reviews.
Interesting, GTX 1660 Ti is faster than GTX 1070 in Shadow of The Tomb Raider.

For clarity, whether anyone says '2gb less doesn't matter' it's got 2gb less than the faster cheaper 1070!
It's yet another rip off 'replacement' product stack!
Historically the replacement was faster and had at least the same amount of cram, but most importantly it was priced lower!
''It just works!"

Bin the 1660 and get a Vega 56. Job done.
Just seems like a monumental gap
The problem is there has been no new nodes that have been suitable since then. 10nm was a no go for big GPUs, and 7nm is extremely expensive and not ready for high volume big dies until liekly end of the year.
The 1070 wont be on sale soon so it is rather irrelevant. The 2070 is the successor to the 1070, that still have 8GB. The predecessor to the 1660Ti is the 1660 which had the same 6GB.

The consumer watch dogs should be able to sue Nvidia for their clear misleading products.

Exactly, when RTG used to release a new card, they always got compared to ones years older.

Why compare to the 1070? Because it is the previous generation and the peformance lines up. Then you look at the price. If you are happy paying almost the same for something with less memory 3 years later... Go for it.
