NVIDIA makes ray-tracing more accessible with the new GeForce RTX 2060
As widely expected, NVIDIA has unveiled the new GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card at CES 2019.
The GeForce RTX 2060 is based on NVIDIA's latest Turing architecture.
Like its bigger siblings, the GeForce RTX 2060 will feature RT cores, which are dedicated to real-time ray-tracing; and Tensor cores, cores dedicated to neural networking processing and AI.
According to NVIDIA, the GeForce RTX 2060 will deliver up to 52 TFLOPS Tensor performance and up to 5 Gigarays per second. It will also come with up to 6GB GDDR6 VRAM.
No word yet on the GeForce RTX 2060's core configuration, but NVIDIA says the GeForce RTX 2060 will deliver better performance than a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2060 will go on sale on 15 January 2019 and will be priced at US$349. No word yet on local availability and pricing but we will update this article once we get details.
