Leela and GTX 1660 ti

[schack]

Can anyone tell me, based on the reviews today, whether Leela will run well on the GTX 1660 ti? On the one hand they say that there are no tensor cores, but the editor of Anandtech says in a tweet that there are dedicated FP16 cores. Is that the same thing? I'm not up on graphics cards at all - never needed them for chess before now - so any help people can offer would be swell.

How would it compare to the 2060 based on initial reads?

No, they dropped the TensorCores, but Turing has doubled FP16 throughput compared to FP32.

This 'could' result in an x2 speedup with fp16 backend compared to GTX 1060 with fp32 backend.

Benchmarks will tell.
