EVGA RTX 2060 KO Already Price-Matched with RX 5600 XT SEP at $279
EVGA's cost-effective GeForce RTX 2060 KO graphics card debuted at CES, at an attractive price of USD $299, a pricing that very likely had the blessings of NVIDIA. This card may very well be the first of many RTX 2060 custom-design cards by NVIDIA partners to compete with AMD's new Radeon RX 5600 XT being launched at $279. AMD claims performance leads over the price-matched GTX 1660 Ti, which held NVIDIA's fort under the $300 price-band, until now.
Over the weekend, EVGA formally launched the RTX 2060 KO, and already offered pre-order discounts on both its own web-store, and popular U.S. retailer Newegg, with the base RTX 2060 KO going for $279, and the factory-overclocked RTX 2060 KO Ultra priced at $299, with a $20 "instant rebate." This would put the RTX 2060 KO price-matched with the RX 5600 XT, and it would be interesting to see if AMD can respond with lower prices (which would then pancake both NVIDIA's and AMD's product-stack south of $250). EVGA is expected to ship the first orders of the RTX 2060 KO from this week.

Pauls Hardware reported from CES that its a week long sale then prices go up.
Its utterly ridiculous and best of it all, this happens with some of the smallest perf/dollar and absolute performance shifts of this last decade.
Wake me up when they get serious about performance again or this is fast going the way of Intel CPUs since Sandy Bridge: *just. No. Need* So far I can totally see myself hanging on to 1080p for a while longer and ditto GPU. 3 years now and the only realistic path forward is still 1080ti levels of performance. But at least we have barely functional RT. Thanks, Nv.
Gigabyte 2060 OC costs exactly that in UE (+VAT). No extraordinary discounts included.
Temporary or not, this new price level will become normal soon enough (Ampere).
Jacob didn't mention to us the price is a limited time, however.
If you don't feel comfortable with high temperatures, there are many options with better cooling.
But if you're OK with 80*C, $50 can be put somewhere else.
Isn't choice great? :)
Just for lolz.
And then mock NV for dropping 2060 price for no reason.
Jebaited³
When Nvidia drops prices : Overpriced Nvidia cards .
Got to love those fanboys man :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: , otherwise for normal peoples competition is always welcome !
It's what we all clamor for all the time and this is a good sign of the strength of the competition.

I have an email from Nvidia essentially stating this. So far, no other AIB has mentioned it, but I certainly expect them to follow.

EDIT: And here it is for $299..................... at EVGA and Newegg. Remember, it is the EVGA KO only that is $299 (they also have an OC version for $319). The $279/$299 was the pre-order price (see 1st post)...$299/$319 is the new final price, lower than the rest (as of last week) and $50 under the original MSRP. Paul also said, "I think" for a week. So, if you were talking about the pre-order price (I wasn't in my response - because why... pre-order price is just that.. PRE-ORDER... the card is now out), of course that was temporary. :)
