Nvidia Rtx 2060 Super And 2070 Super Review
The foundation engine supports a realistic representation of water and snow and shows the game characters detailed. The display of hair is also very realistic thanks gtx 1090 to the support of TressFX or HairWorks . But the 2060, unlike the 1060, does ray tracing and is the cheapest card available that’s capable of the technology.
The problem is that most games don’t support ray tracing yet. While Battlefield V is a very pretty game, the ray tracing is only a tiny aspect of that beauty, and certainly not enough to warrant upgrading. So for now, if you have a 1070 or 1070 Ti or better, or an AMD Vega 56 or better, then you shouldn’t upgrade. But if you’ve been sitting on an older GPU waiting for something to suck less and give you good performance in 1440p or lower resolutions, then the 2060, for $350, is a pretty dang good deal.
It’s cheaper than the 1070 or 1070 Ti and on par with the similarly priced AMD Vega 56. Only unlike the 56, the 2060 will support ray tracing when games finally start sticking it in. The RX 590 is, admittedly, still a lot cheaper than the gtx 1090 (with most cards going for the same price as Nvidia’s 6GB GTX 1060 at time of writing), and offers a smidge more performance than both its GTX rival and RX 580 predecessor.
As with most products, the way in which it provides performance is largely academic if price is good enough. The standard approach to producing said x60 cards is to design a dedicated, optimised die that hits multiple sweetspots. Nvidia’s Turing architecture was supposed to usher in a new era of visual computing. Equipped with never-before-seen technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS, the promise has not been translated into immediate success for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, and RTX 2070.
What could he say to alleviate the concerns of fans who felt that the new RTX 20-series GPUs were overpriced and trying to force ray tracing technology on customers who don’t have much use for it? “2060,” he said as if those four numbers were the secret to life and all of Nvidia’s success. Huang was referencing the just announced Nvidia gtx 1090 GPU, a card that’s pricier than its equivalent in previous generations, but still your most accessible entry point to the future of graphics. Having a smaller TU106 silicon with close to 11 Billion transistors it doesn’t run too hot.
