NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Could Launch Mid-January
NVIDIA could launch its "RTX for the masses" SKU, the GeForce RTX 2060, sometime mid-January, according to Andreas Schilling. It is also confirmed that the RTX 2060 will feature 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. Schilling confirmed no other specifications of the GPU, but posted official branding for the RTX 2060 SKU. Earlier leaks pin the RTX 2060 as being carved out from the 12 nm "TU106" silicon, with 1,920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 192-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, which at 14 Gbps produces a memory bandwidth of 336 GB/s. NVIDIA could target the crowd that wants DXR-enabled gaming at 1080p thru 1440p resolutions.

The price increases of existing Turing cards is as follows:
RTX 2070 25% over GTX 1070 (corrected for inflation)
RTX 2080 11% over GTX 1080
RTX 2080 Ti 39% over GTX 1080 Ti
I don't know what kind of math the kids learn in school these days, but none of these are anywhere close to "at least a 50% price increase".:rolleyes:
Example:
RTX 2080 is like 800$ (cheapest one), while the GTX 1080 is arrownd 450$.
Do the math again. :banghead:
Comparing prices of the previous generation on sale does not equate a price increase (facepalm), the only reason why Pascal is cheap now is due to the price dump to get rid of surplus stock. The same thing happened with the previous generations as well, and back then people also complained about the new being much more expensive than the old one (on sale), but I guess there are some (selective) memory loss as always…
