Nvidia announces RTX 2060, more powerful than GTX 1070 Ti at $350

But you won't have a big enough ram pool to use ray tracing in upcoming games. If we have games already using loads of vram at 1080 due to large textures, adding RT on top of that might push it over the limit (ray-tracing eats quite a bit of memory).

AMD are selling low-mid range cards with 8gb quite cheaply, why can't nvidia?

The RTX2060 is not aimed at 4k gaming though, the 1070 can't keep a solid 60FPS either because that is also not a 4k card.

RTX2060 is for 1080P with Ray tracing switched on, which is can maintain 60FPs in BFV, or you can do 1440p and might need to play with some settings., that is a perfectly reasonable compromise given the relative cost.

Just like the GTX 1070/1070Ti wasn't aimed at 4K either, but than doesn't deny the fact that the GTX 1070 plays it hell of a lot better in 4K still compared to the RTX 2060. 20FPS vs 50FPS is a pretty hughe thing - 50FPS is playable, 20FPS not. And as mentioned texture packs gets even higher and higher resolutions and that also means more vram usage no matter the screen resolution.

The RTX 2060 is still an expensive 1080p card as I see it. Cut away RT and DLSS abilities and we got an ultra charged GTX 1060 6GB with more performance and an even higher price tag for 1080p high detail gaming.

It's an expensive 1080P card that will do ok right now with the bells and whistles on in BFV but will have poor longevity as it's not got enough RAM.

A £330 card to run on sub £100 monitor resolution. So much PCMR.

I wish they had ripped out all the tensor and ray tracing cores and sold it as a GTX2060 for under £300.

Card would probably be faster too as it would probably boost higher.
 
Does anyone have an idea when UK prices for the various partner cards will be revealed? Are all the retailers waiting for each other?
 
Is it not up for pre-order next week, so I would imagine about then.

As for the 2060, to me it's the natural non rtx step from the 1060, but with £100 worth of RTX added ... A feature which has still to really show merit beyond a handful of examples as yet, and as such not worth £100 surplus.
 
This is why I'd like to look at the prices for the partner cards. If they're £400 I'll probably get a non-overclocked 2070 for £460.
