Nvidia has finally unveiled their RTX 2060 graphics card bring the expensive Ray Tracing performance to lower tied cards.

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.  There is no word on UK availability or price but it converts to £275 though we will likely have to pay more than that. In comparison the current cheapest GTX 1060 on Scan is the Palit GeForce GTX 1060 StormX 6GB which costs £229.99. On BestBuy you can get an EVGA card for $269.99 which maybe a more accurate comparison.

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.

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!
