We knew this moment would come sooner or later. When NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 30, we saw that no new GeForce GTX models were launched under the Ampere architecture and that the GeForce GTX 16 continued to be sold as cheaper alternative for those on a tight budget.
This event marked a major turning point as it became clear that the end of dedicated hardware-free graphics cards was around the corner, and today we can confirm exactly when it will happen, which is in the first quarter of 2024. As of this date NVIDIA will end production of the entire GeForce GTX 16 familywhich affects the following graphics cards:
The truth is like this This movement is completely natural and understandable, especially taking into account the latest price drops that occurred in the graphics sector, which made the GeForce GTX 16 lose almost all meaning, as they ended up stepping on graphics cards that are much more powerful and have specialized hardware.
When I talk about specialized hardware I mean RT kernels and tensor kernels, two types of cores that NVIDIA introduced with the GeForce RTX 20 that accelerate ray tracing and AI. These cores are not present in the GeForce GTX 16, which also does not support AV1 codecs.
Personally, I think that the graphics card that takes the place after the GeForce GTX 16 will be GeForce RTX 3050 6GBa model that will be in the range of 150-170 euros and which will be a shortened version of the GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB, whose performance is higher than that of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, which is the most powerful in the GTX 16 series. The 6GB version should sit between the GeForce GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660 in terms of raw performance, but will offer better value thanks to NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution support and ray tracing acceleration.
If you have a GeForce GTX 16, don’t worry, just because they’re discontinued doesn’t mean they’ll be unsupported. they are They will continue to receive updates at the driver level, and they still have a lot of life ahead of them. GeForce GTX 1660 and above maintain good performance in games and move quite well at 1080p.
