Thanks for the update. I have been scouring the used market for a 1080, and am blown away that that 1660ti goes nearly toe to toe with it. Very impressive. Rethinking the path forward, that's for sure. And although it's not on the list yet (since it's just been released) the GTX 1660 Super is meant to be on par (or even slightly better) than the 1660Ti, and it's cheaper. https://www.pcmag.com/review/371538/zotac-geforce-gtx-1660-super-twin-fan Seems to think the 1660ti has 240 more cuda cores than the Super while running at par or less in power under the same "load".

Seems to think the 1660ti has 240 more cuda cores than the Super while running at par or less in power under the same "load". The Ti version may have more cores, but for compute work the Super version is generally on par or better performance wise. GTX 1660 Super compute performance. Grant Darwin NT ID: 2019732 ·

Plus the EVGA Supers seem to be a bit scarce. My results so far seem to be very encouraging. It's fastest times are the lowest on the machine. And I haven't caught it going slower than a 1 minute and 30 seconds or so which puts it right in there with my gtx 1070's. I haven't actually tried to download an XML and sort the info out. But the spot checks are very encouraging. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 2021740 ·

If someone is willing to run a curiosity check on those machines and make a rough estimate of performance and wattage I'd be pleased. The wattage can be taken from the manufacturer data or from a questionnaire from actual users running "nvidia-smi -l" That would guide the Santa to deliver the right present to the best behaving children and adults who do not like to obey M$ or other rules.
