So 2060 isn't a mid range card anymore (1060, 960...). Priced higher but more performance

 

I wonder when we can see a mid range 20 series card (~$200 price point) comes out

Desktop specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Gigabyte B550M DS3H mATX

Essential thought surrounding everything = Nvidia is trying to pull of an "Apple" and overcharge the asking price of their products.

By this I mean it's great and all, but too expensive. The only good news in CES is if the upcoming Ryzen really is gonna be a multi-core monster.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

? That's quite expansive for an intermediate card... Guess poor guy like me should go see what AMD has in store for us this year. 

 

Also, I'd wait til 3rd party (such as LTT or Gamers Nexus) verified that it actually can run RTX before believing them. God knows what "medium" settings Nvidia used. They could have put everything except RTX to Low/Minimum for all we know.

As mildly salty as I am about how the RTX GPUs seem to be creeping up in price over their predecessors, the 2060 is very likely going to be the mainstream choice by far. 

 

Assuming the $349 price holds up (though with markup, it might be closer to $399), alongside the performance claims, it's probably the most reasonable RTX GPU in terms of price:performance. 

 

Best to wait for reviews, however.
