Gainward Geforce Rtx 3060 Pegasus Vs Gigabyte Geforce Rtx 2060 Mini Itx 6g
But for right now, Nvidia’s software continues to be better, accelerating GPU performance not just in games, but in traditional work tasks. That was until I got to our Blender test, in which we time how long it takes a GPU to render a 3D object in Blender. Thanks to a recent software update that provided better support for programs like Blender, the 2060 not only beat the Vega 56, but even the 2080 Ti, which I tested only a couple of months ago. It has been a fairly crazy ride with NVIDIA the past few months, roughly 4-5 months ago the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti became available.
Ethash is the Proof-of-Work algorithm used for the crypto currency Ethereum. Ethash is based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm, but has been significantly changed in some places. For example, the memory requirement was significantly increased in order to make it more difficult or even to prevent the calculation of the algorithm on so-called ASICs . Our benchmark results are based on a slight overclocking of the graphics card and the GPU memory. The hash values achieved can be easily accessed from any card.
Whenever that happens, as a company you need to set things right. The first attempt at that will be what we review today, a product that most people can afford, the GeForce gtx 1090. It’s another £100 / $100 more expensive than the GTX 1060, with Nvidia’s Founders Edition on test here going for £329 / $349 while third party cards currently start at £350 / $350, but when it comes to speed, it’s in another league altogether. Whereas the GTX 1060 struggled to hit 60fps on higher quality settings at 1440p, the RTX 2060 sails past that number and then some.
Yet even that kind of snip isn’t enough to fully differentiate the x70 and x60 cards. Nvidia goes further by taking the proverbial hammer to the back-end, too, and strikes a few key performance blows by reducing the memory width from 256 bits to 192 bits, ROPS from 64 to 48, and framebuffer size from 8GB to 6GB. Thankfully for the , the fast GDDR6 memory, operating at 14Gbps, is left intact. Typically offering an excellent mix of gaming performance and keen pricing, it is no surprise to see the last-generation GTX 1060 hold clear domination in the most recent Steam hardware survey. Part of the reason is the lack of gaming content that can truly leverage Turing’s forward-looking technologies, though that is changing slowly but surely.
The card comes fitted with just one rear positioned power headers (8-pin). The card offers one HDMI ports and two DisplayPort outputs, a DVI connector and the new Virtual link connector. This Turing 106 GPU empowered product keeps that GPU at roughly 65 Degrees C marker depending on game load. Though the GDDR6 memory has been not been tweaked, the ICs are stock 14 GHz (effective clock-rate) but can be bumped upward towards 15 to 16 GHz with the flick of your fingers as we’ll show you in the tweaking chapters. Say hello to the GeForce RTX 2060, after which we’ll dive into the nitty gritty over the next pages.
