![]() ![]() The only potential minor blemish on the spec sheet: memory capacity. Though the GDDR6 memory has been not been tweaked, the ICs are stock 14 GHz (effective clock-rate) but can be bumped upward towards 15 to 16 GHz with the flick of your fingers as we'll show you in the tweaking chapters. Say hello to the GeForce RTX 2060, after which we'll dive into the nitty gritty over the next pages.Here’s a look at the GeForce RTX 2060’s specs, and how they compare against the GTX 1060. This Turing 106 GPU empowered product keeps that GPU at roughly 65 Degrees C marker depending on game load. The card offers one HDMI ports and two DisplayPort outputs, a DVI connector (yes, that is not a typo) and the new Virtual link (USB) connector. The card comes fitted with just one rear positioned power headers (8-pin). Having a smaller TU106 silicon with close to 11 Billion transistors it doesn't run too hot. 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. It has a proper 1680 MHz boost clock for the standard founder version and there will be no differentiation for the reference values compared to the AIB partners. This 160 Watts rated graphics card has 1920 activated shader processors (that value is 2304 on the RTX 2070). It has been fitted with 6GB of GDDR6 memory (14 Gbps). This review covers the reference card, also referred to as founder edition. The new RTX series is mostly about DX-R (DirectX-R compatible hardware accelerated Raytracing). The GPU has been cut-down as well as the memory configuration in size. Active but more limited I should say, the GeForce RTX 2060, really is making use of a reconfigured GeForce RTX 2070 chip. ![]() The 4th model RTX card once again is based on Turing architecture, offering a fundamental change in the graphics card arena as next to your normal shading engine, NVIDIA has added 30 RT (Raytracing) cores, as well as 240 Tensor (AI), cores onto the new GPUs, and these are active. The big question that remains, is this product enough? GeForce RTX 2060 Let's hope it's enough, as we really do like the RTX 2060 and it is in a price range that most people can afford. ![]() Admittedly, technology evolves, the fabrication nodes are more expensive, the anything RTX also uses more expensive GDDR6 memory. So in just a few years, prices have risen 75%, one year away of getting doubled if this trend continues. Before that era mainstream was in a 199 USD range. The last-gen GTX 1060 was launched at 299 USD. The x圆0 range typically is mainstream slash mid-range, however, at 349 USD (and really that's where it'll start) we do wonder how the general public will feel about that price. The first attempt at that will be what we review today, a product that most people can afford, the GeForce RTX 2060. Whenever that happens, as a company you need to set things right. The past few months RTX became a tough sell and NVIDIAs popularity declined in a negative spiral. The primary perf issues with Battlefield V had been solved mostly shortly after release and a card with a 500~550 EUR/USD price tag feels better while still being very expensive. The launch of the GeForce RTX 2070, was received better. Then when Battlefield V launched, lots of people where like, that's it? That is the difference while looking at eye soaring low framerates while they need to put hundreds of dollars and euros on the table to make use of new RT and Tensor technology.Ī patch and driver or two later did improve overall performance, however, with graphics cards sitting in an 800 USD/ EUR (RTX 2080) and 1250 USD/ EUR (2080 Ti) range while not coming down (the price that is) things became difficult. But then the bubble exploded in their face as end-users looked the other way when they learned about the incredibly steep price level. NVIDIA initiated massive internet virals to gain media coverage. People had been very interested and were warmed up for the DLSS (Tensor) features and the ability to play Battlefield V in that hybrid Raytraced way. It has been a fairly crazy ride with NVIDIA the past few months, roughly 4-5 months ago the GeForce RTX 20 Ti became available. But will they have enough oomph to make that difference in a saturated market? These cards start at 349 USD for the reference design from NVIDIA. It is time to review the 4th version graphics card in the NVIDIA RTX series, yes the Founders edition GeForce RTX 2060 has arrived for a review.
