Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 benchmark results spotted

Everyone's expecting this to be £400 to match the price hike of the other RTX cards, and will act like the £300 price it will actually launch with is a good deal.

I reckon these will prove to be accurate, 30% performance mark up on the exisiting 1060...which is similar performance bump to what we've seen for the 1080 to 2080 and 1070 to 2070

WTF? Where did you see 30% uplift? At 30% uplist a GTX/RTX 2060 would be FASTER than a GTX 1070. The GTX 2070 is about 25% faster than the GTX 1060 6GB, so at 30% uplift we would see the RTX 2060 actually be about 5% faster than the GTX 1070.

From this bench alone(and it is a terrible bench in every possible way) its a good margin behind the GTX 1070.

We need to stop judging ray tracing performance on the early application of it in BFV alone, there is a lot of optimization from DICE, Microsoft and Nvidia to do yet. Yasin Uludag did an interview on eurogamer that explains a lot, I actually have a bit more faith that the 20 series is capable of more than we are seeing right now. If I am right to have more faith then the 2060 may be able to hit the 50's at 1080p with medium ray tracing settings, which could be ok if the price is right.

Fixed-function GPU shaders.

Is it 2005 again?

it is about 20% faster from RX 590 (scored :2122 in this game/benchmark).

However this is something like worst case scenario for AMD as this is heavily optimized for nVidia and not so much for AMD.

The price will be defining thing.

The thing is, that's all we currently have to judge it on. Sure, code optimisation might improve things massively but that's pure speculation at this point, and I don't recall even Nvidia claiming that anywhere. I've said it many times before but the thing that surprised me most about this launch is how poor it actually looks in reviews - I was expecting at least a few well-prepared benchmarks/tech demos to entice people to buy into the expensive new cards!

I've got a card that's ancient that already hits 50's at 1080p. They'll have to produce something better than that, ray tracing or not.
