GeForce RTX 2060 benchmark appears

As VideoCardz reports, it is interesting to see that the '2060' features the RTX branding, rather than being named the GTX 2060, in line with previous rumours and chitter-chatter. The RTX branding prefix would indicate that even this GPU will feature RT Cores and possibly even Tensor cores.

RTX 2060 is about half as fast as the RTX 2080, and approaching the old GTX 1070 in performance terms in this game, playing at 4K HQ

lol, slower than a 1070? whats the point of that? it should be at least on par.

 

[doodah]

So these are probably going to go for >£300? I love a good laugh.

Or the other way to look at it.

lol so much faster than a 590.

It will all depend on the price.

 

[maonayze]

I would guess £350 - £400 for a 2060, depending on make/model etc...

I don't get the reason for calling this class of card an RTX..

It's not like it's going to be capable of 1080p with RT on, even on low, at playable frame rates in BF5 for example.

Yup, as even the Ti isn't.

Perhaps nvidia are betting on dlss to bring performance up on the lower end cards. Can it be combined with ray tracing?

Assuming it arrives ofc.

If DLSS works well with the 2060 it could be very interesting.

With my 2080 Ti when I benched it using DLSS the increase in performance was about 35%.

 

[Vexr]

DLSS, along with a very competitive price, sounds like the only hope for the 2060.

With so much 1060 stock to shift, I reckon nVidia will withhold the 2060 to the very last minute anyway.

 

[bru]

I suppose it all depends on whether they see the 590 as a serious threat.

You're the only person talking about AMD in a thread about nVidia graphics cards... Do you want to not?

This gives you a rough indication of the current midrange cards against a GTX1070:

The leaked score indicates its 10% slower than a GTX1070. If it is under £300,that would mean 10% faster than an RX590 at least(since there are no reference RX590 cards),and probably lower power consumption. If it is above £300 then its a bit of a fail,as you might as well get a GTX1070 as they have gone down as low as £300.

 

[ver01@]

Will wait until the Ti benches are leaked.

 

[Nasher]

Ray-tracing won't even enabled on cards lower than the 2070 afaik, it runs badly enough on a 2080. No SLI either.

OFC it will be way overpriced like all the current geforce cards. I suspect it will be approaching current Vega prices, making it a poor choice.

 

[Wrinkly]

Will probably have to drop to the old CGA modes for RTX ON

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I can't see how anyone could justify this card if it was around £300, with reported performance.
There's too much defense of years old performance coming out at the same price.

Who's defending it?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

A large section of the graphics forum, going by the recent 590 launch.
By this stage, I feel we should be at/mildly above 1070 perf for £250.

2060 might even crack the 6GB VRAM ceiling...
