Nvidia announce RTX 2060 at CES, available January 15

Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has taken to the stage at CES to announce the RTX 2060. This mainstream graphics card will launch at $349 (£329), and will be available from January 15. Fitted with 30 SMs of TU106 GPU goodness, not only is the CUDA Core count whacked up to 1,920, this card has enough RT Cores and inference-driving Tensor Cores to trace rays in real-time. Look, just act surprised and we’ll pretend that all of this wasn’t leaked in detail over the last few weeks. Despite an oversupply narrative from the green team these last few months, Nvidia has gone ahead with the launch of its ‘mainstream’ Turing card. Although with a price tag some $100 more than its GTX 1060 predecessor, it’s not going to encroach on the bang-for-your-buck card’s turf just yet. The RTX 2060 marks the first time Nvidia has re-used a Turing GPU within the GeForce stack. While the RTX 2080 Ti utilises the TU102 GPU, the RTX 2080 the TU104 GPU, and the RTX 2070 the TU106 GPU; the RTX 2060 also utilises the TU106 GPU, albeit trimmed down to size.
