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

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_RTX_2060_Founders_Edition/33.html
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.

Golden review 2060 sample vs reference vega cards. Frametimes/min fps are also more important, the 2060 falls apart in some games at 1440p/4k.

The above video looks more realistic with non throttling vega cards, some of the min framerates on the 2060 at 1440p is :(

Actually, I'd say the Vegas are nicely clocked there as well, so not much difference in sillicon luck. The frametimes are indeed the biggest weakeness of the RTX 2060 and has been evident from going through all the reviews (https://videocardz.com/79627/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-review-roundup). There's something strange going on a few times in the performance difference between the cards at 1440p vs 4K where the 2060 gets crushed at 1440p but then somehow does much better at 4K, so I wonder what's going on on screen itself and whether the 2060 simply gives up & nukes texture streaming/quality and that allows it to get some performance back, or what. Will have to investigate it myself if I get my hands on it.
 
First 2060 non Founders Edition review I've seen

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/palit-geforce-rtx-2060-gamingpro-oc-review,1.html

£349.99 @ OCUK if the pricing on the mobile website is indeed correct.

hmm likely to go with founders for me i guess, seems like palit noiser, and hotter, sure theres the oc to it already but still...

anyone seen kfa2/galax card thats purchasable?

think im likely to get founders as it fits in the case im using the easiest

The only worry with the FE imo is that the CS/RMA is horrible for them, lots of horror stories with Digital River (the company that handles it) even for their Titan cards. That's one of the strengths of Nvidia cards imo, having the option for partners with strong customer support & warranty options, like EVGA etc, so going with the FE negates that. Wouldn't do it myself tbh. That's what I don't like for AMD, their partners are not on par on that front.
 
:/ i dont really have many options tbh, only got 15mm from top of pci bracket to the lid of my htpc case, and 25cm length to internal wall (which i could hack down admittidly)
 
I've not read this thread but going by frame rate alone is there any net benefit for this as opposed to getting a 1070 TI?

There's a few games in which the 2060 is faster than the 1080 when you overclock it. That and we need to wait for the DLSS patch for BF5 to see ray tracing at high framerates.
 
it might be cheaper than 1070ti too
im 99% getting one because it fits my case, while the 1070's/80s dont, or are silly price or seemingly unavaliable in a model that likely would fit
