NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Shows Up in Final Fantasy XV Benchmarks
The RTX family debuted with top of the line graphics cards, but the Turing era is just started and there will be new members joining those first products. One of the most expected is the RTX 2060, and now this new graphics card has been seen in Final Fantasy XV benchmarking database. This information should be taken with a grain of salt, but in the past this listing has showed us upcoming products such as the Radeon RX 590, so the evidence is quite interesting. According to this data, the RTX 2060 would perform slightly below the Radeon RX Vega 56 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, but its numbers are quite better than those of the GTX 1060.
NVIDIA itself confirmed there would be a "mainstream" product in the Turing family in the future, and although the company seems now focused on selling out their excess inventory of mid-range Pascal graphics cards -Black Friday could help there-, the new GPU could be announced in the next few weeks and some analysts expect it to be available on Q1 2019. It'll be interesting to confirm if the data in our TPU database is correct, but we're specially curious about the price point it'll have.

GTX 780: GK110, 551mm^2, 2880 cores cut to 2304, ~900MHz, 288 GB/s memory
GTX 970: GM204, 398mm^2, 2048 cores cut to 1664 (28% decrease), ~1.3GHz (44% increase), 196 GB/s memory (32% decrease)
GTX 1060: GP106, 200mm^2, 1280 cores (23% decrease), ~1,5GHz (15% increase, though with GPU boost closer to 1.8 in reality, so a 38% increase), 192GB/s memory (2% decrease)
So: both of the last generations have used arch or process improvements to match or beat previous higher-tier performance through clock speed increases while reducing core counts to lower costs. This isn't happening this time around, so the die needs to grow. This used to mean that Nvidia ate some margins for a generation while they waited for a new node shrink (think GTX 700 series), but that's not happening this time - they've grown too greedy and callous for that, which the RTX series has shown clearly.
For the high end core counts went from 2816 cores (980 Ti) to 3584 cores (1080 Ti, up 27%) to 4352 cores (2080 Ti, up 21%). The story for the lower tiers is roughly the same, with 1664 -> 1920 (^15%) -> 2304 (^20%) cores for the '70s. That tells us the 2060 is likely to get around 1280 * 1,2 =1536 or * 1,3 = 1664 Cuda cores, which is nowhere near enough to beat the 1070 (with 1920 Cuda cores) given the tiny improvements in clock speed and core performance from Pascal to Turing. A 1920-core 2060 would likely be too close to the 2070 for comfort - or at least it would force the 2050 Ti to suddenly become a midrange rather than entry-level card.
So they are basically overcharging for very little gains.
If we were to compare MSRP for the previous 2-3 generations of gpus
they have almost the same msrp from generation to generation with but the gains were substantial
I wonder how much they spent developing the RT part of RTX.
and as i said in other discussions it just feels like a ripoff when there is only one single game that implemented that feature more than 3 months after the rtx gpus have been released (there is also a Chinese mmorpg that will have rt but nobody outside of that country would ever play it)
I am still looking for a reasonably priced replacement for my gtx 1080 and was actually hoping a Turing XX80 would have the same performance improvement over the gtx 1080Ti as the 1080 had over GTX 980Ti while with the msrp around 599 usd
Its just stupid that I will have to keep waiting for that replacement
So yeah, I don't know about you but I am absolutely disappointed that the 2080 turned to be very similar to the gtx 1080Ti. Also has anyone be able to buy the RTX 2080 at its msrp?
The cheapest I have seen was 750 usd and in many European countries close to 900 USD
But im afraid such nintendo swithc is probably 50 years away at least...
maybe you had a gtx 1070ti
www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_RTX_2080_Founders_Edition/15.html Well the upgrade would be justified if Nvidia weren't so greedy.
I upgrade from gtx 970 (paid 340 for msi gaming X) to gtx 1080 strix, around 550 usd, and saw an improvement of between 60-100% with a 62% price increase
now, if I upgrade to the rtx 2080Ti which will give me slightly less performance gains than going from 970 to 1080 I would have to pay 136% more for the extra 60-80% more fps...
And no go on turning off AA... and that did it... dknt buy it.
Is this at 4k? How do you without AA at my res less? Legally blind? :p
5 years here... how about creating system specs...;)
I run dual 1440p screens as well. I don't play games on both (mostly FPS here). I must have AA. I can CLEARLY see a difference with it disabled... even without my glasses/contacts. If you can't see aliasing at 1080p (I can easily see it at 2560x1440) you should get your eyes checked. :)
There is a practical need right now......which is why I asked.
I don't expect this is going to have RT functionality, seems pointless considering how horrible the performance would be, guess we'll find out soon enough.
There was a PRACTICAL NEED FOR SYSTEM SPECS. Lololol
I have no idea your system specs and was trying to find reason for your statements. ;)
Anyway, you started another thread and I clarified, I hope, the confusion.
Back on topic, after reading more about the up coming 2060 I think the specs are going to be closer to the 2070 than the 1060 was to the 1070. And if so, the 2060 might be able to push RTRT at reasonable framerates when on low.
