NVIDIA Unveils the GeForce RTX 2060 Graphics Card

[steen]

What do you mean "isn't enough"? The cards are reaching Vega56 performance levels. With "only" 6GB.


Wtf dude? It's been benchmarked at Anandtech, it does 1440p no problem and 4k if you turn down details. And you're sticking to "6GB is fine if you play only at 1080P"?

Cache hierarchy & bandwidth efficiency in Turing is > Pascal which is > Vega10 anyway. 6GB buffer will limit performance with demanding game asset data but DLSS algo instead of TAA/MSAA should help. Even with a 4k panel nothing stops you running 1440p gaming & you get free additional AA...

Hm, I just went through the review at Anandtech, these cards offer essentially the performance of a Vega56 in gaming (they're weaker in compute) and cost significantly less. And they draw less power. And they have DXR. Yet almost 70% of the visitors voted "too expensive"

kings already summed it up pretty well:

Of course we all want better prices, but... It's funny that a Vega 56 for $350~$400 is considered a great deal, but an RTX 2060 with the same performance for $350 is overpriced!

Internet logic!

More like "AMD fanboy logic". Vega has never been a deal approaching "good" in any way shape or form.

Sapphire announced price reductions on their RX Vega cards, if you can find any.

Hmmm lemme see, which one should I buy... the older, hotter, card that I literally cannot buy because there is no stock... or the newer card that I can get right now and comes with a free game that I can sell to recover some of the cost? Tough decision.

And 6GB really isn't enough for cards in the $350 price range.

I have yet to play a game on my GTX 1070 that uses anywhere NEAR 8GB of VRAM, in fact the highest I think I've seen it go is slightly over 4GB - and I play everything at 1440p. For 4k I imagine 6GB will be more than sufficient, but even so, the RTX 2060 isn't intended to be a 4k card. NVIDIA made absolutely the right call of 6GB VRAM for a mid-range product.

If NVIDIA releases a GDDR5(X) version of the 2060, it will absolutely destroy anything and everything AMD has to offer in terms of both price and performance.

If you don't like it then don't buy it. Stop complaining about things you can't control and do the things you can.

But that's the catch, some people think complaining on Internet forums enough will result in lower sales which means they do have some control over the matter. And you can't tell them otherwise.

Welp, those people are in for a hard life I guess...

IGP, their only save.
