The new graphics card of the Turing architecture will debut next week at a price of 369€.
NVIDIA has announced on the occasion of the CES that the graphics card GeForce RTX 2060 will be available January 15th for 369€, thus joining the rest of the alternatives of the Turing architecture that also feature VirtualLink, the new connection standard for viewers, and the real-time processing of ray tracing and artificial intelligence. The company claims that the 2060 is more powerful than the previous generation GTX 1060, 1070 and 1070 Ti. At launch, we’ll be able to purchase both the Founder’s Edition from NVIDIA and other hardware manufacturers, which will come standard with Battlefield 5 and Anthem games.
Some of the features of the RTX 2060:
- NVIDIA CUDA Cores: 1920
- RTX-OPS: 37T
- Lightning Rods / s: 5
- Accelerated frequency (MHz): 1680
- Normal clock frequency (MHz): 1365
- Memory frequency: 14 Gbps
- Standard memory configuration: 6 GB GDDR6
- Memory interface width: 192-bit
- Memory bandwidth (GB / s): 336 GB / s
During the presentation, Jensen Huang (CEO of NVIDIA) stressed that the RTX cards, in addition to including the VirtualLink connector that allows you to use a single cable from the viewer to the computer in question, can be used to “other features with HTC, which will announce the company at CES“, so the announcement that Vive is preparing could be that of a new PC viewer, just as his latest moves were suggesting.
The session also left us the figure of 4 million PC viewers sold, a fact they showed in an image when referring to the fact that there are many people currently using VR. Huang did not share how they had obtained that amount, whether it was through the viewer manufacturers or using any of their software tools like GeForce Experience. Anyway, if we add this value to the more than 3 million PSVR sold, figure of August that should have already exceeded 4 million, we would get a sales around 8 million, something that is not bad and that would probably be higher if we add the rest of autonomous viewers.
