In addition to the $279 price tag, which was also given to reviewers as the SEP, the GTX 1660 Ti has been also spotted in Final Fantasy XV benchmark database by TUM_APISAK, putting it just above of the GTX 1070, at least at 1440p resolution and high-quality settings.

The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti has been slightly pushed back to February 22nd launch and it is still unclear if this somehow affected the GTX 1660 and the GTX 1650 launch, expected to come in early and late March respectively.
In addition to these pieces of information, Gigabyte's GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC 6G has been spotted on the UK Amazon with a price set at £286.11, making it around £40 cheaper than the RTX 2060. The listing page was quickly pulled down.
Videocardz.com also posted a couple of pictures of the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti OC card, which should also be the cheapest model in the series.
