NVIDIA announces GeForce RTX 2060 at 349 USD
NVIDIA today announced the new 349 USD GeForce RTX 2060. The 4th model RTX card is based on Turing architecture. The card has 6 GB of the now familiar GDDR6 memory.
NVIDIA has added 30 RT (Raytracing) cores, as well as 240 Tensor (AI), cores onto the new GPUs, and these are active. Active but more limited I should say, the GeForce RTX 2060, really is making use of a reconfigured GeForce RTX 2070 chip. It has been fitted with 6GB of GDDR6 memory (14 Gbps). This 160 Watts rated graphics card has 1920 activated shader processors (that value is 2304 on the RTX 2070). It has a 1680 MHz boost clock for the standard founder version. The card has 6 GB of the now familiar GDDR6 memory running a 192-bit wide bus (336 GB/s), the price is 349 USD.
The cooler is dual-slot design. The card comes fitted with just one rear positioned power headers (8-pin). The card offers one HDMI ports and two DisplayPort outputs, a DVI connector. NVIDIA is going to bundle the card with Anthem or Battlefield V. Available starting the 15th.

Even though this used to be the pricepoint
But NVIDIA will still sell millions and millions of units because the number 2000 clearly is higher than 1000.

In the presentation, they had 3 demos with it. In 1440p (Core i9 9900K, 32GB DDR4...), the games were playable at the same level as Rasterization if DLSS+RTX were on (55-65FPS). However, if it was just RTX, it lost at least 1/3 of the performance running around 30-45FPS.
Again, take it with a grain of salt. If you can find the presentation (YT, dunno...), it's announced around 1h in.

Personally, since I only buy new, this card looks sexy. 1070/Ti performence and a price that does not look like absolute rip off (Well, it's still a little bit expensive but has a bit more value than the higher level cards). Will take in consideration.

Yeah I found that interesting as I thought Ray Tracing and DLSS couldn't be run at the same time. It looks like they have found a way or the initial information regarding this was wrong. It was a nice performance jump. Would have liked to have seen that on running on an RTX 2080 Ti.

That is way too expensive. Sure its fine for the bigger countries but where I live it is going to be about 350 EUR and 250 was the max for most of us here so the 1060 was really good. But oh well at least used 1070 ti are going for about 250 right now and a 1080 ti is below 400.

So basically it’s a GTX 1070 with a smaller die for $349 and none usable RTX features as there is no way in hell that the Ray Tracing features can be used with this little power.
