Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060

Overview

The RTX 2060 is the best value mid-range offering, beating out Vega 56 and all the Pascal cards priced over $300. That won't make it an instant upgrade if you already own a fast enough graphics card. Say for example, the old GTX 980 Ti flagship was a $650 graphics card, so the fact that the RTX 2060 is faster should be impressive enough for us to take on this generation.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO makes some smart compromises to bring real-time ray tracing under $300, drastically undercutting its rivals.

It's a bit disappointing that Nvidia has yet again raised the price of PC gaming with the RTX 2060. However, it's hard to argue its price when it delivers such stunning performance. This new mid-range graphics card now rules over 1080p gaming, fully...

For someone who wants to game 1080p and doesn't want to spend a lot on a new GPU, the RTX 2060 is your best option right now. It supports ray tracing and DLSS and is also future proof for Full HD gaming. It takes advantage of Nvidia's new Turing tech and costs only Rs 31,000. This is the GPU for the masses and an affordable option in 2019.

The RTX 2060 is supposedly the ray-tracing trojan horse for the masses. But much like the original trojan horse and its cargo of unpleasant surprises, the reality is slightly different, with anemic DXR performance not really the main reason to own this card. Instead, take it for what it is - an immensely powerful card in its own right that effectively replaces the GTX 1070Ti at a cheaper price.

The RTX 2060 is the mainstream ray-tracing card that Nvidia has been holding out on since the series launched, offering great performance and future-proofing for a price that makes more sense in competition with Pascal. If you’re looking to make an upgrade, this is the card to look at.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 is a really good GPU for 1080P or even 1440P gaming. It's also the cheapest RTX card on the market with which you can take advantage of Nvidia new Turing tech. The RTX 2060 is the card to buy if you are itching to go hands-on...

More expensive than the GTX 1060 but the RTX 2060 is temptingly powerful and a lot cheaper than its RTX...

The RTX 2060 gets the performance part right but is nowhere close to being affordable, not at all for the Indian market. Even NVIDIA knows that which is why we're going to see the GTX 1660 Ti in roughly a month's time without any of the fancy RT cores....

Oh no, another conclusion. How do you summarize something like the new RTX 2060?If I simply had the myopic view of 4K gaming 24/7 this would be a horrendous outcome and overall a real crap review. This card is not made for 4K and while I'm sure many...

Over the last 3 months, we have seen the introduction of RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070, and it is safe to say it has been a bit of a turbulent launch for Nvidia's Turing architecture. Today, we have another card to add into the mix – the RTX 2060...

The RTX 2060 offers the same performance as the GTX 1070 Ti for a lot less money, with the added benefit of ray tracing as a bonus. Throw in the free game bundle and you've got yourself an actual bargain from Nvidia this time around (shocking, I know)....

By TweakTown on January 07, 2019 93

The new GeForce RTX 2060 has performance that beats the GTX 1070 Ti and edges on the GTX 1080, all for $349. This is the cheapest real-time ray tracing graphics card available, and can play Battlefield V with RTX and DLSS at 1080p and over 85FPS. Crazy!
