They will either :
- pull 'an iPhone SE move' and release a product with slightly gimped performance for a decent discount
- or tough it out for 7nm
Making moves towards a significant hardware discount at the high end is probably the absolute last thing they will look at.

M iris have high margins with Turing, so they can release MSRP if need be. I betsales are good enough and their analysis would suggest lower prices don't improve sales enough to justify a low margin product. Nvidia are at 80% market share and growing, nothing AMD is doing at the moment will impact that .
Once navi arrived we might see a small price drop

If that’s really the size of one in that article they’ll be great little cards.

Compared to GP106 200mm2 die similar size:
TU116 die without RT and Tensor cores probably will measure around 200-250mm2.
Much smaller than GP104's 314mm2 die for GTX 1070 performance level.

It'll be 1060 performance level won't it?
Can't believe they'll be releasing a 3gb version of this.

Accorded to techpowerup, GTX 1660 will be 6% faster than GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1660 Ti will be 10% faster than GTX 980 Ti and 2% slower than GTX 1070 in relative performance.
3GB is fine, you probably don't noticed GTX 1660/1660 Ti PCB has extra empty 2 memory chips slots so both are capable of maximum 8GB memory. AIBs probably will have GTX 1660/1660 Ti with 8GB memory in near future.

Yea what's the point, games are commonly using 3.5gb and up now. Some up to 6gb.

22nd is the current rumoured date.
Ah I see. That explains the lack of reviews etc. Thanks

Why would you buy one of these when you can buy a used 1080 and have way more performance and VRAM? Complete waste of time IMO.
Looks to be a nice small form factor card, ideal for those with HTPC/ITX cases ect

6GB again, not future proof, in some cases not even now proof.
Leave it to nVidia to take a step back and tell us its all good and just works.

Whilst that may be the case, it doesn't change these are in essence the equivalent of the 50/50Ti cards for this gen performance wise, and yet they will most likely be sold at around £200+/£250+.

You have to hand it to nVidia they have very skillfully manipulated people into paying ever more and thinking its good value.
GTX 970, 3.5GB: £270
GTX 1070, 8GB: £380
RTX 2070, 8GB: £470
No one questions it, in fact i have seen people argue that the 2070 is great vale at nearly £500, they never explain why tho, perhaps its because its nearly as fast as a previous generation card at not much more money?
I'm going to make a prediction, or two.
RTX 3070: £560
RTX 4070: £650
GTX 970, 3.5GB: £270
GTX 1070, 8GB: £380

It is not 1070 perf, it's 20% faster v 1060.
Have not looked at the price for these, yes if that's the case but Nvidia...
"It just works"
Apparently
