So nvidia just killed their 1660Ti with the 1660 Super:

1440p performance at $229 now

All they did was replace the GDDR5 memory with GDDR6 (and it's faster GDDR6 than 1660Ti).

So the 1660Ti at $279 makes zero sense now

I'm guessing this an anticipation move for the 5500 amd gpu.

Most definitely.

I would expect a price drop for 1660 Ti shortly, maybe $249?

Cant believe they are keeping the 1660 in the lineup, they have to drop the price to like $199 there or something.

Bless, that is a win for consumers.

Ryzen 3600 and a 1660 TI/Super is a great combo.

Check your emails if you signed up for Halo Flighting as well as over the next few days.

First wave of invites just went out for the final flight before release.

Multiplayer is live now through the 5th.

Seems like the first wave was really small. They said another tomorrow of 20K+ invites.

Most things are these day it seems. I use MB but I have resigned myself that unless you go off the grid you are fricked anyway when it comes to this. Thankfully I am not a criminal, oh wait this doesn't do much to track them, just people that don't do shite.

Google, apple, samsung, etc...., they are all doing it.

Your PC specs file.

Stands for DirectX Diagnostic Tool, the command is dxdiag in windows to view it.

Testing games will often ask for one if they choose based on specs for testing such as the case with Halo.
