Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
While our benchmark suite is undeniably geared towards modern APIs like DirectX 12 and Vulkan, DirectX 11 isn't going anywhere any time soon and is still used for many modern AAA releases. One such game is Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, which serves as a punishing example of the older API. We run the game's built-in benchmark (accessed from the main menu) and report using the metrics it gives us at the end. The Graphical Quality setting is set to Ultra with no further changes made.

I mean, yes, it beats the 1060 but that's beside the point if prices are what they are right now.
1060: 200 Euros
1660 Ti: 289 Euros
1070: 289 Euros
1070 Ti: 399 Euros
There is neither sense nor value in the market right now.
//edit: just checked scan.co.uk and prices are similar there. Why did you decide to compare the 1660 Ti to a 1060? Thats a 260 GBP vs a 210 GBP card. The 1070 seems to be 10 quid more than the 1660 Ti right now.

Just like Nvidia wasn't sure about the naming scheme for these, I'm not sure they know who they are aimed at, either... Current 10-series owners? First time PC builders/buyers? It's like they are just filling a hole that isn't really there or needs to be filled?

Oh, and closer to 2060 than 1060 in performance.
Yeah....
