Fair, but the benchmarks REALLY suggest that you should spend the extra $50 if you can afford it, since you get more, faster (well, wider) RAM on top of the CUDA core increase. Still, the bigger point is that $350-400 used to get you a 'mid range' GPU in a given series, and now it's the "entry level."

It's not entry level. Don't get caught up in naming schemes. Besides, the 16 series exists.Cellar Door - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
16 series is low-end. Take a look at the current nvidia product stack. The 60-series has always been lower mid range.Yojimbo - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
1660 Ti performs about as well as a 1070 and launched at a price a little more than the 1060 did on its launch. How is that low-end?Korguz - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
because you have 2 or 3 tiers of cards above it ??Yojimbo - Wednesday, July 3, 2019 - link
That doesn't make it low end... Those tiers above it are very expensive.Meteor2 - Saturday, July 6, 2019 - link
Precisely.Questor - Friday, July 5, 2019 - link
Which is still too much money.V900 - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
Nope. Low end midrange is the 2060 which is still 349.The $399 2060S is the old 2070 card and is definitely not “low-end midrange.”
Besides, you can’t expect prices to never change. Chips are bigger than ever, and the nodes producing them are only going to get more expensive.
We’re brushing up against the laws of physics, so of course prices are going to creep upwards.

Who said $399 is low-mid? Labels like low, mid and [spits] enthusiast are daft. Only FPS/$ matters.
