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

DLSS is a marketing buzzword. Lowering the resolution is functionally the same & it can be done on any game & gpu.

I'm no expert at understanding it but it uses the GPU tensor and/or RT cores and utilises AI. It's not what you claim. 25-40% improvement in performance for no obvious/easily noticable degradation to image quality. It was meant to be implemented in BFV on release day but the focus was put on RT first and now DLSS.

Medium Settings at 1080p with RTX in BF5 and not even hitting 60 fps for £350

This card and the whole GFX market at the moment is disgusting. Glad I'm not part of it. You can stick 20 series up where the sun don't shine and you can stick Radeon 7 there too

Its a stagnant overpriced mess...Anyone who buys the 2060 needs to re-evaluate their lives :p

Well your point of view is fairly well known and many would agree.
Myself I would just add that Yes the whole Graphics card market is disgusting at the moment, but I would add that the 1080ti selling at nearly the same price it launched at a year and a half latter is also just as bad and you bought one of them, so yes you are part of it. Not of course that there is anything wrong with that, it is your money and you are free to spend it how you like.:)

Prices across the board are pretty sickening and we all have views on them, as for the 2060 price, its not good for sure, but I reckon it might not be as bad as predicted, with the founders edition going for £329. Other cards might sneak under the £300 barrier by a few quid, hopefully a bit more.

The cheapest on ocuk is £350 for the basic single fan and palit oem dual fan. Most are around £370-£380 with all the Asus models over £400. Topping out with the strix oc at £470 :D

ive not seen prices on retailers yet?
founders is 329 direct from the maker

im likely gonna go for founders or pny/palit (which are the same card as each other but rebranded?)

They were hidden on the ocuk mobile website. If you went on the 2080 page and just changed the hyperlink from 2080 to 2060 it loaded up the 2060 range with all the prices

I think we will just have to wait and see what they are on launch day, in a few days time.

Must have just been a paper launch, as all just up as Coming Soon on here, and no pricing.

Load the overclockers page up on your mobile.

Navigate to graphics card > nvidia > choose either 2070 or 2080

tap the address bar, and change where it says 2070 to 2060

the page loads up with all the 2060 cards ready, and their prices

If this feature achieves the same image quality as lowering the render scale (which is debatable, because unlike DLSS reducing render scale doesn't introduce artifacting & shimmer) and with the same performance results, then it cannot be called anything other than a marketing ploy.

That so many are fooled by it is just a testament to Nvidia's marketing department doing its job brilliantly.

So you are trying to say that lowering render resolution will produce the same image as DLSS?

NVidia will sell shedloads of the card despite the fact it is a bit overpriced.

This is a card that should be occupying the £200 price point but until AMD start producing cards that are more efficient on a new architecture this is not going to happen.

Your correct about the £200.00 price point. I still think prospective buyers would be better of with 1070/1070Ti

Those are actually insane prices. I thought we might get a clown card at £299 or something, but they're all £350-400+. I dont really see the point with the V64 being the same price and the V56 being way cheaper with games + more vram + similar performance. If you sell the games the V56 comes to £250~.

Shame the 1070ti is not available anymore if you prefer an nvidia card.

I bet it will still sell by the boatloads because it has an nvidia sticker + their top notch marketing.

The 2060 is the same speed as the V64 but comes with Ray tracing and DLSS, as will as being a newer architecture that will liekly scale better to future games and has more room for future drive optimizations. The 2070 also many newer features that can give performance boosts in games.

I don;t think the vram is really much of an issue. It wont ahve the power to do 4K with all the eye candy in future games , settings will need to be lowered.
