Nvidia is rumored to be readying a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card based on its Turing GPU architecture, but without RTX goodies like real-time ray tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) support. The question is, would those features simply be disabled, or might Nvidia make a completely new GPU? Photos purporting to show a naked GeForce GTX 1660 Ti may provide the answer.

Bearing in mind that nothing is yet official, the folks at Videocardz posted a few photographs of what they claim is an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Ventus XS graphics card, with its heatsink and shroud removed. The reason this is interesting is because it gives us a look at the actual GPU, which we can compare with existing RTX silicon.
