RTX2060 spotted

I don't believe Nvidia won't have any new cards in the £150-£350 price range. That's a huge chunk of the market that they can't simply vacate. Presumable the 2050 will have a 2050ti variant but presumably at best it's going to hit 2060 numbers.

In turn when Navi shows up the 3070 is likely to be sub £300 even if the 3080 is priced to match the 2060 while according to rumours beating it. Nvidia will surely be forced to release a scaled down 2060 to compete in that market.

It's probably gonna be like this until all the old pascals get hoovered up. Nvidia don't really have to do anything until amd release their stuff
 
So 2070 vs 1070 ti game benchmarks actually seem quite close, like 10-15%. Is it really likely the 2060 is going to be that close to a 2070 in terms of performance? As in what's the point?

OK so we think Pascal cards are going to be still on the market for another year occupying the £150-£350 price bracket. Makes sense I suppose and after that the prices have to drop.

Also even on launch it has to be significantly below the 2070 and if that can be had for £440 it doesn't make sense to pick up a 2060 for £400, it has to be £350 tops

Personally I'll be monitoring 1070ti prices to see if there's anyone doing a serious EOL price drop around the time the 2060 drops. Might not happen ofcourse and it might be better waiting for Navi anyway.

They will just lower prices if sales drop

2060 will probably be slightly worse than 1070ti at launch but overtake as drivers mature. This will mean that people in that price bracket will pick up the overstock of 1070tis. Once this happens 2060 is only option in that price bracket.
You could wait for navi but it is a way off yet. Depends whether you are suffering performance wise atm

But a xx50 is a low spec card. Nvidia have backed themselves in to a corner with silly prices. A 2050 would probably be around £200-250 but easily outperformed by an rx580, so like the 2060 makes no sense.

Yup, I don't see how they are going to move forward from here, unless they bring prices down a notch.

GIGABYTE submits GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 4GB and 3GB variants to EEC

https://videocardz.com/79452/gigabyte-submits-geforce-rtx-2060-6gb-4gb-and-3gb-variants-to-eec

Gigabyte RTX 2060 will have six variants with 6GB GDDR6, 6GB GDDR5X, 4GB GDDR6, 4GB GDDR5X, 3GB GDDR6 and 3GB GDDR5X with a total of 40 models.

RTX 2060 with 3GB GDDR5X will be the cheapest, possible at £250 while GTX 1160 probably will be £200 and less.

3gb, seriously? This is how poorly the 3gb 1060 performs against the 6gb 1060 in AC Odyssey in ultra high and this is only at 1080p.


If the VRAM isn't enough on current ultra high setting you can only imagine how badly it'll age. I don't think 4gb is enough on a 2060 either.

Looks like Nvidia is carrying on with their trick of calling inferior spec graphic card that should really be xx50ti a xx60 3GB card again...

The cringe of them desperately trying to associate low spec cards to the xx60 branding to inflate the pricing :p

I think the 2060 will be a gold mine for using up old memory chips.:D
 
NV extracting the urine yet again with crappy 6GB and under VRAM, it's 2019 for Cliff's sake!

So many games easily go over 6GB these days, anything over £150 ought to have at least 8GB of VRAM now.
 
Why would anybody want an 2060?, what good is it. Surely people aren't that dirt poor. Seriously, why scrape the bottom of the barrel, this is a torture device, crippled from birth.
 
None of them really fit anywhere. Both the cheapest and most expensive have better alternatives for the same price.
