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.

Actually, 1080 is often faster than 2060S, even 1070Ti is. 2060S is junk.
edit: (no DLSS of course)
no they aren't

they're way behind
2060S is getting close to 60fps in worst case scenarios,where 1070/1080 are dropping to 40fps.And has dlss.It's not a great card for 1440p,but it'll do +60 most of the time.

you can list/read other more popular websites too and find similar results.
You can even read Guru3D review.

it is, but I had 1070Ti when it came out and I was not interested. Still not interested. Not to mention the price was (then) just a few euros shy of 400 eur for 2060S...
edit: it's not faster enough to facilitate jump from 1080p gaming to 1440p gaming, and you could get used 1080ti for ~300 eur which is a lot faster than 2060S

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.
yes, this is older node.
but it is also older itself. they stopped making these a long time (around three years) ago.
yes, people will buy this like fresh warm buns.
but this would be old and stale if it wasn't for the new pcb with a wider bus and more memory.
depending on interpretations of U.S. and California tax codes (if written off for loss) this alone will raise eyebrows at the State Board of Equalization but idk if anyone is "home" at the IRS.
