Ray tracing seems untouched by overclocking, it is within error margin or load out differences.
I kinda wonder why rtx series deny the same or identical boost of non ray tracing benchmarks.
Maybe memory bandwidth is limiting factor here. While SM and RT cores see decrease similar to performance loss, even reference 2060 is clocked higher than reference 2070. Therefore its RT already suffers from other source. That may mean memory OC can do some good for it, or maybe timing tuning would be better way around this high granularity workload.
As of Hilbert's results which show reference card too.
But results already showing only ~4% improvement over stock w/o OC and ~10% improvement over reference when this card is OCed by 22% on core and 15% on memory.
It is possible that using software OC for memory allows nVidia's driver to worsen timings. Tuning it in VBIOS would likely do more good.
With that OC clock, it should by all means be equal to 2070 in all workloads except those where memory bandwidth/latency is not sufficient.

393euros in romania ...okkkkk , and funny enough it's the cheapest RTX2060 you can find here , meanwhile asus want's 510e for it's ROG model :| , same price as the cheapest RTX2070

For this price and performance, Nvidia just killed RTX 2070. I wouldn't pay 200 dollars more to have only 5% more performance.

Its not only about raw performance. With 2070 you get more Vram and higher number of RT cores.
Nvidia knows what they are doing.

a little too noisy for me
JetStream are less noisy, aren't they?
39dba isn't very loud at all.
