The TU106 has the same number of Cuda cores as the GP104 in the 1070, plus it has RT cores and Tensor cores. Please stop paying any attention to the chip code Though this is the third largest die in the Turning line its still much more than a "low-end" GPU.
XX106 is low end. XX104 is midrange. XX102 is high end. Nvidia has been ripping people off, and charging high end prices for midrange chips since the GTX 680.

Considering a card like the 2060 can perform near 1070 ti and even 1080 levels in some cases, I'd say that's not ripping anyone off.

Good performing card. The one possible neg would be the 6gb mem. A year or two this could be an issue in some games.

For 1080p I can't see this being an issue, but DLSS should help as well with this in the meantime.

It is the same thing in Canada. The cards are all 500-550, and that is before tax. After tax, that is 560-620. That is just brutal for a cut down TU106, which is a low end chip.

Where do you get that TU106 is a "low end" chip?
