NVIDIA announces GeForce RTX 2060 at 349 USD

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/07/2019 09:42 AM | source: | 56 comment(s)

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.

They probably mean with DLSS running.

Too expensive, just like the rest of the lineup. IMO, the prices should look like this.

RTX 2060: 279 US
RTX 2070: 429 US
RTX 2080: 599 US
RTX 2080 Ti: 799 US

Edit: Retailers are going to be charging 400 US for an RTX 2060. That will not go over well for those who want bang for buck.

Bold claims on how much power that card has over the previous gen versions that were higher, now we just need to see some benchmarks.

I wonder how much it will cost in Europe. I have bought in November last year 1070ti for 465 EUR.

If the 2070 is trading blows with the 1080, how the hell is the 2060 faster than the 1080 ti, because i swear at the end when he was wrapping things up he said that..

He said it was faster than a 1070 Ti, not a 1080 Ti.

So 350$ means it will be more like 450$ and after conversion more like 500-550$ nvidia can shove this whole gen where the sun dont shine.

Eh, not much to see here. Looks to me like big green is nervously trying to shove these out before AMD's impending keynote. I love seeing these companies nervous! It tends to breed competition and benefit the end user, like with Freesync+nvidia.

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.

Even though this used to be the pricepoint

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.

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.
