The Nvidia Rtx 2060 Is Perfectly Adequate
At its CES press conference today, Nvidia broke with tradition and put the focus on gaming, not self-driving cars and data center AI technologies, the typical topics of this event. After a recap of everything Nvidia announced the gtx 1080 8gb, the low-end version of its new Turing-based desktop graphics cards.

It replaces the original model, and you can think of it as a slightly slower version of the RTX 2080. The 2070 Super gets 256 more CUDA cores, 16 additional texture units, and faster clock speeds . All of that hardware makes it faster than the GTX 1080 Ti, NVIDIA’s last-gen cream of the crop. NVIDIA’s new RTX Super graphics cards are clearly a response to AMD’s new midrange GPUs, the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT.
GeForce RTX™ graphics cardsare powered by the Turing GPU architecture and the RTX platform. This gives you up to 6X the performance of previous-generation graphics cards and brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI-powered DLSS 2.0 to games. It uses the third version of the “Frostbite Game Engine” developed by the manufacturer DICE. The engine is available for Windows, PS4, PS5, XBox One or XBox Series X. Many physics-based calculations are carried out directly in the game engine, which results in very realistic calculations. Due to its current features, Battlefield 5 is very suitable as a graphics card benchmark.
But I can’t help think that if AMD had decided to release the RX 590 after the RTX 2060, it probably would have been dismissed within 3.87 seconds of its untimely arrival. GeForce RTX® 2060 features a dedicated hardware encoder that unlocks the ability to game and stream simultaneously with superior quality. RTX graphics cards are optimized for your favorite streaming apps to provide maximum performance for your live stream. This CPU will result in reduced performance in some titles, if you go for a 2070 or a 2070 super. I have this configuration myself – i7 6700k , rtx 2070 super, 1440p 144hz monitor.
And it’s a downright bargain when you note that Nvidia claims that the 2060’s true competitor isn’t the 1060, but the 1070 and 1070 Ti. Those had an MSRP of $380 and $450 respectively—though it can be difficult to find them at those prices. Disable VXAO and you’ll be back up at a full 60fps+ in no time at all.
