NVIDIA RTX 2060 12 GB Supply to Improve Entering 2022
NVIDIA's latest attempt to mitigate the continued graphics card supply issues with the relaunch of the RTX 2060 in a 12 GB flavor seems to be mostly vapor - for a little while longer, at least. That the new, 12 GB cards' launch wasn't even met with an official NVIDIA MSRP was enough to get some eyebrows raised by itself; and the almost complete lack of availability of any of these partner-only cards after the launch proper only adds insult to injury.
According to PC Gamer, citing an NVIDIA spokesperson, actual card production ramp will happen "(...) starting the end of December and early January". Even when that happens, would-be buyers of RTX 2060 12 GB cards will still have to contend with the absolute lack of pricing structure in the current market. the absence of an MSRP essentially gives the entire NVIDIA supply chain a way to operate and earn profits in the dark, setting their own pricing solely according to mechanisms of supply and demand. NVIDIA itself, AIB partners, distributors and retailers - all of them can seemingly add whatever margin they feel the market demand will sustain. It doesn't seem that the third life of NVIDIA's RTX 2060 12 GB will do much to improve the actual situation for consumers - but retailers can now sell three-year-old technology at whatever pricing the market determines.

So glad I got into photography. PC tech's become a terrible place these past years.
I'm not surprised that any inventory they remade of this 2060S wannabe card is hard to find, it is only 2-3 year old tech we're talking about here. What's a 2060S going for on ebay these days.....$600+? I bet any of these new 2060 cards that do make retailer shelves won't be far behind what ebay has other 2060 models listed for.
That is already 4-year-old architecture, and if you calculate the design stage of the process, then it's 8 or 9-year-old architecture :D
So, please check your comment again..
I'd have to say Nvidia earned their Ngreedia name with this.
Thanks goodness i got my hand on way bette gpu so i am out of this GPU apocalypese.
Who knows, maybe they will prepare something even slower to launch in the next months and years...
FAK.
If they actually launched this before ramping production? That's just plain incompetence. Don't promise something you fundamentally can't deliver.
Don't like it? Buy a cheap AMD card.... oh wait.
Same thing from november 2018 to june 2020, a 300 usd gpu was earning from -30 cents to +10 cents per day mining eth, so most months were negative profit and some months with few cents positive, mining for scraps, to this day I still dont understand why they were mining it, with the money they paid the electricity, they could have bought 60% more eth directly from exchanges than mine, they are brainless.
