Nvidia has surprised with a tempting price cut for the RTX 2060

The decision was made a few days after EVGA introduced its GeForce RTX 2060 KO series of graphics cards, which starts at $ 279.99.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2060 was introduced last year at CES 2019 at a starting price of $ 349.99. Since then, the graphics card has received a new series called SUPER that replaced the normal models, however the 'normal' RTX2060 models are still present in Nvidia's inventory.

Now, Nvidia has officially lowered the price of its core offering to $ 299.99. RTX 2060 includes the Nvidia Turing TU106 GPU with 1920 CUDA cores, 120 TMU and 48 ROP. The chip combines with 6GB of 14.00Gbps GDDR6 memory to provide 336GB / s of bandwidth across its 192-bit interface. The card has a TDP of 160W.

Priced at $ 299, the RTX 2060 would offer much better value for money than the recent RX 5600 XT, although it's $ 20 more expensive than AMD's Navi-based offering. AMD has shown that the RX 5600 XT is up to 15% faster than a GTX 1660 SUPER and 20% faster than a GTX 1660 Ti.
