The exciting thing is that the GTX 1080 of the predecessor generation Pascal is only seven percent faster on standard clock and an overclocked RTX 2060 even has to admit defeat by two percent. The TU106 chip, which can also be found in the RTX 2070, does a very good job. The fact that the RTX 2060 is one of the most important cards for Nvidia is clearly shown by the benchmarks of the colleagues. The detailed benchmarks can be found in their article. Unfortunately we didn’t get any RX 590 for testing at the start, so we use the benchmark results of our colleagues from. Benchmarks: the GTX 1070 Ti and Vega 56 are beaten The world-wide sales start is on January 15th. Custom models could even be much cheaper and settle at around $300 US. The RTX 2060 is listed as Founders Edition directly at Nvidia for $349 US. The big difference, however, is the price. With its 1,920 CUDA cores, 240 Tensor cores and 30 RT cores, it is a slightly trimmed RTX 2070. The RTX 2060 is the smallest Turing GPU that supports raytracing. In a keynote at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, Nvidia officially announced the smallest Turing graphics card. It seems that Nvidia has now opted for the second one. Accordingly, the successor of the GTX 1060, the RTX 2060, either has to be very cheap or has to make a much bigger leap in performance. This is exactly the problem Nvidia can not afford in the most important sales class, the middle class. The RTX 2080 barely performs any better than the GTX 1080 Ti, but costs the same. The performance leap of the Turing generation compared to Pascal is, apart from raytracing, not very big. How useful raytracing is at the moment is rather questionable.

The RTX 2080 Ti currently costs at least 1,200 Euros and can only play Battlefield 5 in WQHD resolution with a good 60 FPS when raytracing is activated. With the prices of the RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070, Nvidia has increased considerably compared to the previous generation. On the one hand real-time raytracing requires a lot of hardware power, on the other hand this hardware is relatively expensive. However, the technology has two major disadvantages.

The ray calculation allows completely new game impressions and much more realistic images with regard to reflections and light. The main focus of the new generation is on raytracing technology, which should be possible for gamers in real time for the first time with special hardware.

With the new Turing generation, a lot has changed at Nvidia. Conclusion: the only Turing at a bearable price.Raytracing in Battlefield 5 runs just barely with 60 FPS.Full HD is the hunting ground of the RTX 2060.Benchmarks: the GTX 1070 Ti and Vega 56 are beaten.The RTX 2060 is the smallest Turing GPU.
