NVIDIA Unveils the GeForce RTX 2060 Graphics Card
NVIDIA today at its CES 2019 event launched the GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. The card is being purported as being capable of playing "Battlefield V" at 1440p resolution with RTX on. Priced at USD $349, the top-spec variant of the RTX 2060 is capable of 5 gigarays/second, or roughly half the performance of the RTX 2080 Ti, but double the performance of its "Maxwell" based predecessor, with roughly the same performance as the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti from the previous generation, with RTX added to the mix. The RTX 2060 is slated to come out on January 15, in a number of variants, and custom-designs from NVIDIA partners.

"No more cheap generational performance increase for you" - Huang, 2019
Another one is that the RT performance will be abysmal anyway, so yes, this is a complete dud that should have been priced @ 250.
Probably the GTX version will start at $299 for FE with regular versions priced into mortal realm.
Internet logic! :laugh:
Nvidia, breaking stereotypes. :laugh: In a way they set the expectation so low for what's to come in the future it might actually work out.
First x70 card got to yeehaaa, 500-ish mark.
And 330mm^2-ish 1080 is 700-ish. Great stuff.
And then we got "and next gen card isn't better perf/$, it's the same, but with a couple of additional twists, but we can keep old number for you to feel better".
With this approach AMD can sell vastly larger chips (Vega) and still be profitable.
And the, Q3-ish, things can get quite turbulent, if leaks Navi are even remotely true.
While I cannot afford more than 100-200
Nvidia doesn't us, but by inflating prices, it allows the competition to also charge more.
I won't silently accept this, the poll in the article is perfect
Well... at least that price leaves a lot of room for competition, should it materialize.
