NVIDIA has officially dropped a price bomb on the GeForce RTX 2060, bringing its price down to $299.99 US. The move was done just a few days after EVGA introduced their GeForce RTX 2060 KO series of graphics cards which start at an impressive price of $279.99 US.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Now Available For $299.99 US - Get RTX, DLSS, and More In This Feature-Packed Mainstream Powerhouse
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 launched last year at CES 2019 at a starting price of $349.99 US. The graphics card has since received the SUPER treatment but despite the other RTX variants which got replaced by their SUPER brethren, the RTX 2060 was still kept in NVIDIA's inventory, making up the sub $350 US market.
Now, NVIDIA has officially brought the price of their mainstream offering to $299.99 US, making it the only RTX option to purchase under $300 US. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 packs the NVIDIA Turing TU106 GPU with 1920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The chip is coupled with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14.00 Gbps to deliver 336 GB/s of bandwidth along its 192-bit interface. The card has a TDP of 160W and should go along nicely with mainstream gaming PCs under $1000 US.
The move without a doubt has been done to tackle the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT which got its intro at CES 2020 and will be hitting retail shelves in the coming week for $279.99 US plus premium for the custom models. The EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO is already going to hit the sales of the card at $279.99 US but other AIBs are also well underway to prepare their own cost-effective RTX 2060's while dropping the prices of their existing RTX 2060 graphics cards to match NVIDIA's new MSRP.

At $299 US, the RTX 2060 would offer much better value over the Radeon RX 5600 XT even while being $20 US more expensive than AMD's Navi based offering. AMD has shown the RX 5600 XT to be up to 15% faster than a GTX 1660 SUPER and 20% faster than a GTX 1660 Ti.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, on the other hand, is up to 20% faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER while offering added features such as RTX, DLSS, etc. It would be interesting to see how the Radeon RX 5600 XT and the price-cut GeForce RTX 2060 perform against each other in the coming weeks.

Is competition from amd finally driving down prices at least for mid tier cards?

 

[sol_bad]

Will this card do 4k graphics?

now we just need a high-tier card from AMD so that the ridiculously expensive 2080ti drops in price.

Will this card do 4k graphics?

at high fps - no.

 

[Spukc]

Hope so getting sick and tired of their BS pricing

Will this card do 4k graphics?

yes if you dont run everthing on ultra.
you can do 4k on a 1060.

 

[Celcius]

I look forward to the day that AMD makes nvidia lower their high-end prices as well

NVIDIA have been screwing consumers for ages with their overpriced cards. My next card will be AMD.

AMD FTW.

 

[Allandor]

Well expected that.
The RX5600XT is lower clocked version of the RX57000 with 2GB less memory. Should be enough for the performance level of the RTX 2060
Competition is good. Really sad that there are only 2 players left in that market.

Imagine if AMD didnt exist. Intel and Nvidia would hold all their consumers hostage and they would be lazy releasing new products.

Yea at 13 to 18 fps... looks like you can revisit n64 era graphics facility @4k

It wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure you could get at least 30fps on medium/lowish settings.

Now lower the price of the 2070super, nVidia!

 

[Ascend]

nVidia is really trying to squeeze AMD out of the market.

 

[Chiggs]

RTX on a 2060.

@ 2060, its just Tax for having R in the name...

 

[nkarafo]

Still not a huge upgrade over a 1060 and it still has the same amount of VRAM.

Let's hope the 3060 will cost the same.
