Nvidia officially reveals their RTX 2060 Graphics Card

It’s finally here, Nvidia has finally unveiled their RTX 2060 graphics card, the latest addition to their Turing graphics lineup, bringing bespoke Ray Tracing performance to lower price points than ever before. 

Nvidia’s RTX 2060 Founders Edition will ship on January 15th for $349 (for Founders Edition), packing 5 Gigarays of Ray Tracing performance, placing the graphics card not that far behind the RTX 2070. 

The graphics card will offer 1920 CUDA cores and 6GB of 14Gbps GDDR6 memory, delivering a 75% increase in memory bandwidth over the standard 6GB GTX 1060. When looking at CUDA core count, the RTX 2060 offers a 50% increase in CUDA cores over the GTX 1060, a staggering increase generation-over-generation, though it is worth noting that the RTX 2060 is significantly more expensive than the GTX 1060 6GB. 

Nvidia’s RTX 2060 will support Nvidia RTX ray tracing using RT cores and DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) using AI optimised Tensor cores. During Nvidia’s keynote, Nvidia confirmed that Anthem will support DLSS. DLSS support is also coming to Battlefield V, negating the performance impact of RTX Ray Tracing using the power of AI, enabling 60+ FPS gameplay on Battlefield V with RTX on!
