NVIDIA lowers price of GeForce RTX 2060 towards $299
Not just Intel, but also NVIDIA has been seeing quite a bit of competition from AMD lately and with the 5600 XT inbound sitting at a 300 USD marker, NVIDIA now lowers the price for its GeForce RTX 2060 cards.
The timing is, of course, notable, as next week the 5600 XT (279 USD) with its with 2304 shader processors should become available, and ever since this week you will notice the price drops to 299 USD for 2060. The card with its 1920 activated shader processors originally has been introduced at 349 USD for the reference models. BTW do not confuse the card with the SUPER model at 399 USD and 2176 active shader processors.
It is an interesting move, and also not something that we see often from NVIDIA as once they define pricing, they usually stick to it. This news also is indicative of the fact that the RTX 2060 should be pretty close towards that Radeon RX 5600 XT series of products. You should see the 50 bucks cut-off soon enough in stores.

That means one thing: the RX 5600 XT offers a noticeable increase in performance over GTX 1660 Ti that Nvidia can't negate with a refresh.
Healthy competition is so beautiful.

Well as long as you can ray trace and use dlss where properly applicable for just under 300€, it's a better/superior value even from used vega56/64-gtx1070ti/80. Very attractive...!

There is a gap now between 2060 and 2060S (299-399$) where radeon rx5700 sits alone.
