MSI Intros GeForce RTX 2060 12GB Ventus Graphics Card

btarunr · Dec 8, 2021

MSI introduced its first two graphics cards on the necromanced GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB, The new RTX 2060 12 GB SKU formally launched on December 7, and pairs features 2,176 CUDA cores (compared to 1,920 on the original RTX 2060). It uses 12 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit wide memory bus, which is what separates it from the RTX 2060 SUPER. MSI is pairing it with the company's latest iteration of the Ventus 2X dual-fan cooling solution. The RTX 2060 12 GB Ventus sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 1650 MHz boost; while the factory-overclocked Ventus OC runs the GPU at 1710 MHz boost. The memory is untouched on both cards at 14 Gbps. We have no prices at hand for the RTX 2060 12 GB, since NVIDIA didn't put out any SEP. We've seen these cards go for around $550.

Only $221's more than the MSRP of the RTX 3060 paper launch series for last generation's new school special edition Frankenstein. Boy I'm so excited I could take a piss into the wind on a DOGE coin after a cup of coffee.

I really hope this time around the RTX 2060 will suck at anything else but gaming because maybe just maybe gamers can actually get a upgrade because a lot of people wants something else then their current cards.

Can we expect any 2060 12 GB reviews just out of curiosity?

I have a feeling the increased Vram capacity will aid miners more than gamers.

Maybe you are right but I hope the RTX 2060 this time around any hardware cut at some level to suxx at mining put perform as the old RTX 2060/Super in gaming.

Performance worse than 2060 Super, cause of the lower memory bandwidth, 4GB more RAM useless, since You won't be playing new games in high res and max details, price 2 times higher than the original 2060 on premiere...

As for mining, somebody tested it already and if what they said is true, hash rate/power is better than RTX 30xx.
