My 660ti in my HTPC is acting wonky and is on it's way out via obselescence anyway.
Being a lame 1080p gamer, I WAS looKing at the RTX2060 (to replace a GTX 970 in my main rig, to be sent to the HTPC), but the [H] review and craptastic RTing performance gave me some pause.
Then these leaks dropped about the 1660ti cards supposedly for launch next month.

Rumor has it they will be around 95% of a 2060, sans RT cores (which it apparently cannot even use), all 6gb cards. For $280. Versus $350+.
Helpe out here, but it seems like I must be missing something. Did Nvidia really miss the boat on 2060 RT performance that bad? Is 2060 die manufacturing making that many bad dies that they need to move so many gimped ones?
