ASUS Intros GeForce RTX 2060 EVO 12GB DUAL Series
ASUS joined the GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB party with a pair of graphics card models under its DUAL series. NVIDIA earlier this month launched the RTX 2060 12 GB, a new SKU based on the "Turing" graphics architecture. This is more than a doubling in memory amount over the original RTX 2060. The new SKU features 2,176 CUDA cores, as compared to 1,920 on the original. NVIDIA is looking to target the Radeon RX 6600 with it.
The ASUS RTX 2060 EVO DUAL and DUAL OC graphics cards feature the company's latest iteration of the DUAL cooling solution, which features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink with heat-pipes tha make direct contact with the "TU106" GPU at the base; while a pair of the company's latest-generation Axial-Tech fans ventilate it. The DUAL OC SKU runs the GPU at 1680 MHz boost, while the DUAL sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 1650 MHz boost. A software-based OC mode unlocks higher clocks on both SKUs. For the DUAL OC, this means 1710 MHz, and for the DUAL (standard) it means 1680 MHz. Both cards rely on a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0, and one dual-link DVI-D. The cards are expected to be priced around 550€.

I can use this card; I do 3d art, and that 12Gb would really be helpful in Cycles and iRay.
While some would consider me stupid, wasteful, or whatever, I paid almost double for an RTX 3090 Kingpin(brand new) & like 50% more for an RTX A6000(brand new) around 5 months ago. Guess what? Now you can't find ANY of those cards anywhere and you probably won't for at least another year(or longer). Despite the ridiculous price, I'm glad I got them when I did, because looking at the market right now, it doesn't look at all promising.
