The Nvidia 2060 might have just appeared in mysterious Final Fantasy benchmarks

An unknown Nvidia GPU has appeared in the Final Fantasy XV benchmark database. This boilerplate entry is considerably faster than the GTX 1070 and falls only a little shy of the GTX 1070 Ti. In theory, this mystery GPU occupies the same ground that a future GTX/RTX 2060 might someday soon be vying for. Granted, that’s not a huge amount of information to go on. The generic entry sits betwixt two of Nvidia’s Pascal generation cards, occupying a segment not yet tapped by the green team, but that’s our only indicator that it could be an unreleased GPU. The ‘Nvidia Graphics Device' entry falls just four percent short of the GTX 1070 Ti in the 4K ‘Standard’ quality benchmark, and eight percent faster than the GTX 1070. The Final Fantasy XV benchmark is evidently being utilised as a proving grounds for unreleased graphics cards, with RX 590 performance and 7nm Vega 20 graphics cards making unannounced appearances within the benchmarking suite’s database. But, while these may be somewhat useful markers in terms of relative performance, Square Enix’s benchmark isn’t a be all and end all of comparative performance.
