GeForce RTX 2060 12GB Equals Shader cores to RTX 2060 Super

An Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 12GB is likely to be released soon, and as things look right now it'll have as many shader cores as the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. The RTX 2060 12GB would get announced in the first week or so of December.

The product would see a slightly higher default TDP of 184W (SUPER =175W). On paper, the card is supposed to be nearly identical to the 2060 SUPER, with the exception of the memory bandwidth: the 2060 SUPER has a 256-bit bus, whilst the 12GB SKU has a 192-bit bus (see below). Regarding the boost clock, two sources state that it is a 1650 MHz boost by default, with factory-overclocked models reaching speeds of 1690 MHz or higher mentions videocardz.

The NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB is now scheduled to be released on December 7th as a less expensive alternative to the RTX 3060 12GB GPU (hopefully with better availability). It's worth mentioning that the RTX 3060 12GB is approximately 8 percent faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER when it first launched. PCIe Gen4 and ResizableBAR support, on the other hand, will not be available on the Turing model.

it's because they don't even have to try to compete with the rx6600,they can do that with an old gen card.their old gen card has the same non-rt performance and packs more features than amd's newest one.

Rumours say Nvidia is planning to release RTX 3050, but since that's only in the future, I guess 2060 Super re-release will do for the time being.

Btw, you should have chosen a 1080p graph. As you can see, one shouldn't buy this card for 1440p.

to me this shows both arrogance and incompetence. incompetence because these are leftover gpu's that couldn't be sold even in a supply-chain crisis. there is just no way a new fab run has been done on (just) the 2060, these are either unsold or returned gpu's on a new pcb with more memory (in itself a good thing).
which gets to the unsatisfactory nature of the 2060... way to have another bite of the apple.

all of which is arrogant. they would've been far better served refreshing 2070 or 2080 - but wait - those sold out.
yesterday's garbage at today's far fetched prices, thanks Nvidia.

i ran a 1070 at 1440p and locked 45-50 in most triple a titles, a 2060s should have no problem.

Most people I know would call that unplayable fps. Then, some people can play at 20~30fps and wonder why would you need more...
