RTX 2060: "More powerful than a 1070 Ti" and only $349

[JimEs]

I am really happy to see Nvidia dominating - and now about to take over the midrange GPU segment. All these fanboys talking about how fabulous AMD is for the "budget" consumer are now about to get hit with an undeniable competitor that outshines those AMD cards.

But all of these claims are based around ray tracing and whether or not developers take advantage of it. If Ray Tracing isn't worth the extra development time, then none of the RTX line will be used to potential - although they may be marginally faster than the last gen 1000 line.

Either way, I'm glad I bought the 2080Ti and I could see myself getting a 2060 or 2070 for my second desktop.

And I'll really be happy to see the 2060 in laptops when I upgrade to a new laptop.

Congratulations for being the problem

So in europe this will be 500+ euros.

The better question is....

Who benchmarks a "1070" with Raytracing ?

Lol, typo on my side! "given that the RTX 2070 exceeds 70 fps on low settings"

At the expense of potentially killing off competitors and "selling your kidney for something" no longer being a meme, yes.

You guys didn't get a review sample? Anandtech already has their review but it was missing the actual ray tracing performance which is ludicrous. Was hoping to see your review but I guess I'll hafta wait.

Yeah, was kind of surprised they benched it with BF1 instead of BF5 in their review. Although looking back, they didn't test the ray-tracing with the 2070 or 2080 either.

You're playing video games.

This isn't absolutely necessary.

It's a luxury.

As long as I've got what I want out of it, your lack thereof is irrelevant to me.

Choose one. You just contradicted yourself.

No I didn't.

I can afford these luxuries.

Many can't.

That's life.

+1 to this. I bought a GTX960 in 2015 for AU$270. The GTX1060 6GB was released at around AU$400 and only went up from there. I remember well because I was waiting for a price drop before upgrading. Heck, it's still around AU$400 right now.

960 199$ USA

WOW 3 years later and the 1060 still cost the same at 3 gb

We are nowhere near out of the scorch, bit mining left behind. Hell we are still 3 years behind? The 1070 has only went down 20-30 bucks, for the subpar cards.... sad very very sad
