The GeForce RTX 2060 was reportedly benchmarked at the 3840 x 2160 resolution with the High Quality preset. According to the Final Fantasy XV benchmark scoreboard, the purported GeForce RTX 2060 put in a score of 2,589 points. It's up to 30.43 percent faster than the last-generation GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, which is a pretty big performance jump. The GeForce RTX 2060 even manages to close in on the GeForce GTX 1070 with the latter only being around 6.18 percent faster.

 

Without a price tag on the card, it's hard to say if it's worth it or not. Tho from the numbers, it'll seems that 2060 will have to be cheaper than a 1070 to be attractive to me with RTX still being messy at best.

so you do get a rtx 2060 not a gtx 2060. That's sweet, but performance should be absolute crap with RTX ON

 

depending on pricing i could pick one up, but not for rtx on

Oh how unexpected, I still doubt they will call it RTX as RTX implies Ray Tracing something the 2070 already can't do let alone the 2060.

 

I doubt this card will be big deal either ways, with 980 Ti and 1070 or even 1070 Ti and V56 cards all going on the 300ish dollars range and how the RX 590 is like 280~290, nVidia with its inflating prices is probably going to price it above AMD's 590 making this product redundant.

Oh, nice didn't think we were gonna get it this soon or even at all tbh ^^

If we're talking new, 980Tis are long gone, and used is another game altogether. The others are a maybe for now, but stock isn't going to hang around forever. They're still clearing out the post-mining surplus, but when they're gone, they're gone. Also, performance per up front $ is not the sole metric people use.

going from the pattern from the 20-series launch, it'll more likely be a slightly more expensive 1070

 

although there's talk about it not having RTX, so two further ways this could go

to all intents and purposes, it is going to be a more powerefficient 1070.

 

great for laptops, but not what a lot of us are looking for. remember, the 2080ti is essentially a titan and not a xx80ti card, with performance and price to boot

isnt that final fantasy benchmark totally unreliable test? think gamers nexus shown the problems with it

Maybe they call it RTX but it comes without rt cores because Nvidia

better thermals, less power consumption, dlss.

Yeah no, Pascal already has perfectly good thermals, power consumption also hardly is any different going from what we seen comparing the 2070 and 2080 to the 1080 and 1080 Ti respectively and DLSS only if the card has Tensor Cores which isn't confirmed yet.

 

Now, if some people are happy that we'll have a GTX 1060 Ti for the price of a 1070, let them be, I just don't see value in the product as is right now.

dlss would be kinda nice on a small laptop when playing at 1080p.

 

dlss is one of those things that would be awsome on low end hardware.

you mentioned the 980 and the rx590, and in my case i'm on a rx480. But i get your point for those already on a pascal card. I would also imagine the 1070 will be discountined as happened to the 1080ti and will certainly happen to all the 10** cards.

Yes it will but the thing we have to keep in mind is how this 2060 might get cost adjustment by the time you can't get better alternatives brand new, even the lower end has an early adopter premium price tag attached to it nowadays....

[Bouzoo]

I am gonna say that I am disappointed, considering that it's still slower than a 1070. 30% faster than 1060? Yeah I'm not blown away considering the last bump. You may say I'm expecting too much but I'm not, really. Especially since they'll up the price as they did with whole lineup. All together the 2xxx are looking underwhelming honestly.

yes dependent on pricing for sure. 

on a side note i wont buy it, i forgot i just got a freesync monitor recently 

[RejZoR]

Ray tracing on such card would only make sense if ray tracing logic is the same as on the top of the line cards meaning the performance hit itself from ray tracing wouldn't be any higher. But I highly doubt they'll place equally capable ray tracing logic in 2060 as they have in 2080Ti and leave the performance differences entirely down to classic rasterization..

GN did their usual overblown criticism of it. They found in the original release of the bench there were "left over" random bits in the scenery which may have degraded performance, and thus not be representative of game performance. There was a 1.1 release of the benchmark and I don't have a changelog for it, but I heard they addressed some weaknesses in the bench. The current 1.2 version has DLSS support added.

its not overblown criticism when the "benchmark" isnt indicative of performance

[CTR640]

nGreedia better call it PTX2060, the P stands for Poor or Peasant because $1400 for 2080Ti.

Steve was honest and thorough, as always. He reviewed what was available. I fell this critic makes no sense.

I didn't say they didn't have a point, factually I do agree. My problem is the presentation style was overblown and tiresome. Wasn't limited to that, but many other vids too. Unsub'd.

Which 1060 6GB?

While Gamer Nexus content is amazing, I do agree that their videos tend to get boring or tiresome as they progress, unlike Hardware Unbox videos that despite bringing a lot of content too keep pleasing to watch from start to finish.

These types of tests present a big challenge. They obtain a LOT of test data, and then somehow trying to present that in a useful way to an audience. If that was easy, everyone would be doing it. Think we could use almost like a built in tldw result summary before they go on endless chart after chart, where there is often excessive repetition. I usually end up skipping that part and go straight to the conclusion.

 

Linus kinda goes the other way. I often feel I need something more, but at least he manages to be generally entertaining while doing it.

That sounds like shit. Weaker than a 1070, probably for 1070 prices. At this point I might just wait for Cyberpunk to release before doing any gpu upgrade unless Sekiro Shadows Die Twice just sucks on my 970.
