Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 benchmark results spotted

[HEXUS]

Final Fantasy XV benchmark is again the source of these early performance test leaks.

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

So 2060 is using the RTX branding ?, does that mean GDDR6 and Ray tracing support, if then this would be a huge boost for Nvidia.

[cptwhite_uk]

I can't see Ray Tracing being particularly relevant for a card at this performance level, given the RTX2080 struggling to hit 60fps @ 1080p

[darcotech]

The good thing is nVidia will sell this card (8gb version) for 200USD/180EUR/150GPB + tax /sarcasm/

[Bagpuss]

Can't wait for the opportunity to pay £400 for a '60 class GPU.

..If we're lucky, Asus will do us all a favour and release one for £500, as well.

[Tabbykatze]

I would be very surprised if this car had any form of RTX like ray tracing. The 2070 is struggling with it and I'm fairly certain nvidia stated that the 2070 would be the bottom end of the RTX brand?

Hopefully Navi 12 cards @ £250 will sort that pricing out if it does come to pass.

£400 will be the Founders Edition pricing, guarantee it. Although I'm guessing that there will be AIB models for £329-£349, except Asus of course because, well...Asus

You're probably right, I can imagine Navi 12 cards being £300+ at launch so the rx580s can be sold through, before the prices cool off.

Founders edition pricing is what prices will be. 2080 was supposed to be $700 for AIBs. Cheapest in the US is $750.

Agreed. This seems completely pointless. They would be better off re-branding it GTX and making it cheaper seeing as there is no way it's going to give playable framerate with RTX on.

[watercooled]

Based on performance we've seen to date, I agree it seems pretty pointless making this an RTX card; greatly increasing the die size and production cost for a feature which probably won't even be usable.

[Gunbuster]

Don't forget RTX is more than ray tracing, its also DLSS which still makes sense further down the stack.

[watercooled]

DLSS runs on separate hardware to ray tracing. IIRC Turing is more or less Volta + RT cores architecturally - strip the RT cores back out, you have something more like Volta and without the drawbacks of making it one of the 'RTX' line.

Agreed, and I made a similar prediction back in September after seeing the initial 2080 and 2080ti figures. It all comes down to pricing now, which will sadly be more likely to be closer to current 1070 prices than 1060.
