Which won't alter the prices of older cards worth shit no doubt, I can't imagine the pricing on these being remotely decent either.
Decent pricing my ass, guess I am gonna sail Red for the foreseeable future.
I got 10$ on that this 1160 will be the original 1060 that had GDDR5 memory. Because later in the 1060 life cycle they changed the memory from 5 to 4, which was a massive performance loss for the same amount of money and the same product name.
Its still a horrible practice to sell the same named card but change the performance. Plus whos to say said cards wont make their way west through marketplaces.
IIRC the 1160 is supposedly also equipped with the Tensor cores, but not RTX cores. At least from what I've seen from Hexus and what-not on Facebook.
I wish we had more major video card designers. Having just Nvidia and AMD (and Intel - if you really want to count them) isn't enough for some healthy competition. The same goes for CPUs really, though AMD is doing rather well in that regard.
I need to replace my 760 so this 1160 may be my only option.
That was it the 1030 whoops.

1160.38 to the square root of abacus
Just like the drivers
Intel is reportedly stepping up their plans to include a discrete GPU, circa 2020. I wouldn't expect them to jump straight for the throats of the 2080 et al, but another good mid-level video card is always nice for bringing down prices.
Yeah the cut down 1060s are quite rare outside of China unless you're deliberately looking at cheap Chinese markets like AliExpress

And they wonder why their stocks are tanking...
Their stock has dropped 3% since this morning lul
Nvidia, STOP. The fuck are you doing.
I'd recommend the RX 580 8GB tbh.
Someone check on the nVidia headquarters. There may be a carbon monoxide problem killing their brain cells.
Yeah thats my go-to for AMD cards if i want to choose that. Im just waiting for all the cards to be released so i can make a good decision.
Not fully sure why people are complaining.
A cheaper 2060 that just doesn't support RTX seems like a decent idea as long as its main performance keeps up.
Thats at least what I get from it.
Especially since a lot of people also think RTX is a gimmick, so this is a good option.
I mean i can see how the naming is a bit off but I'm not against the idea of a RTX stripped cheaper version of the same card.
Buy used, no reason to pay MSRP for cards that came out 3 years ago.
Use it for 1-2 years then upgrade when video cards actually compete in the market, this current and last generation will be next to worthless when performance goes up or DXR becomes a serious feature rather than early access tech.
