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.

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 think they use older node ,that doesn't collide with new.
There is market for it so they want to cash in on that. Players will buy it as it was fresh warm bun.

that is why I said that 2060S should have no problem.if 1070 can do 45-50,a 1080 would be near 60 and 2060S well above.
sorry,but 1080p looks like crap to me,it always did even back in 2012 when I built my first rig on 7870GHz.I can't go below 45,but give me a steady 50fps at 1440p and I'm good for playing on a controller.
That graph you posted has 2060S at 42 fps.
I always thought PC gamers aimed for 60 fps minimum. In the end, I shouldn't go assuming things. Different people have different priorities.

Reduce settings from Ultra down to High, plus DLSS which is common for new AAA games and 60FPS is quite attainable for 2060S.
1440p High + DLSS Quality is gonna look way better than 1080p Ultra

Actually, 1080 is often faster than 2060S, even 1070Ti is. 2060S is junk.
edit: (no DLSS of course)
