Does it need to break 6GB though? If it means a cheaper price point? If this is anything like representing what this card is going to perform like then it will possibly make people hold off an RX590 knowing a much higher performing mid range card is coming.

Look like RTX 2060 will have Ray tracing and DLSS, RTX 2060 is cut down TU106 chip with 12 SM count, 1536 CUDA cores, 192 tensor cores, 24 RT cores, 6GB 192 bit GDDR6 with 336GB/s which is higher than GTX 1070's 256GB/s.
I would be surprised if Turing will be the first architecture to have complete top to bottom range with tensor and RT cores, RTX 2050's TU107 would have 6 SM count with 768 CUDA cores, 96 tensor cores, 12 RT cores and 4GB 128 bit GDDR6.
RTX 2060 with 6GB GDDR6 probably good enough to run Ray Tracing at Medium settings and Medium graphics settings to fill 6GB while RTX 2050 Ray Tracing at Low setting and Low graphics settings.
RTX 2070 ran well playable at RTX Ultra 1080p which surprised me.
Or the other way to look at it.
lol so much faster than a 590.
It will all depend on the price.
Look better the benchmark it appeared first, before you start celebrating. Given those numbers while using DLSS, it will be as fast as the 1060 6GB normally.
My comment wasn't a serious one, it was just an answer to hedgy previous comment.
However saying that, it would be rather stupid of NVidia, if they launch a 2060 and it doesn't beat the opposition, especially if it is indeed a cut down 2070/TU106 core.
It would have to get close to the 1070ti to make much difference and even then an rx590 with and freesync monitor would be a better option for games.
It'll be £400+. Because ray tracing and DLSS and it just works.
Actually looking at some of the budget 2070s it'll be more like £350+, with £350 being the absolute cheapest model (Palit or whatever). Asus cards will all be £400+, of course

I think so, 6GB today isn't acceptable for a card costing £250 plus, especially when it's competing with the 590. NV likes to cut corners on VRAM IMO, we all remember the 970 debacle. Having 6GB won't make the card any cheaper though, it just means higher profit margin for NV, and gamers lose out.
Yeah sure we all remember - but that is now the past. It might inform opinion but shouldn't get in the way of actual facts. If you read my posts I am not normally exactly pro Nvidia - but seriously which is better - 6GB of GDDR6 or 8GB of GDDR5?
I suspect that at the level we are looking at 25% Less ram that runs a lot faster is going to end up being the better option - remember this is currently a Polaris competitor not Vega.
Really interesting that Nvidia are releasing RTX this far down the stack. It is going to put a lot of pressure on developers to start supporting this as the go to lighting methodology moving forward sooner rather than later. For all the hate on RTX that seems to be floating around - if they can offload lighting to specific cores I expect it to be a very good thing once the code starts to optimise.

Unfortunately it seems for this series - its same performance for the same price with the added RTX features and DLSS

Yea, even though it's GDDR6 vs AMD's GDDR5 it's less future proof. On any game that uses more than 6gb it will really struggle. But the Polaris cards with their 8gb will cruise through it.
It's the same TU106 that the 2070 is running, so no reason it couldn't be an RTX.
Sad that the 2070 is an x06 chip now tho :/

It will be interesting to see what real world difference GGDR6 v GDDR5 makes on the 1060 v 590, and how the cost/performance stacks up. Is the 1060 powerful enough to make ray-tracing viable? Highly unlikely on what we've seen. Still, better to have a feature enabled than not.

Nvidia already said it's not an RTX. Only 2070 and up. At least that was my impression.
