The RTX 2060 Has Been Re-Released... But Should You Buy One?

[@RandomGaminginHD]

With regards to the Ray Tracing tests, I would definitely recommend DLSS. I just wanted to see how much difference there was at native 1080p with RT switched on and off. Here are a couple of DLSS / RT enabled benchmarks that should have been included in the video: Cyberpunk: 1080p Medium, All Ray Tracing Options On, Medium Lighting, DLSS "Balanced": Avg FPS: 55 | 1% Low: 42 | 0.1% Low: 14 Watch Dogs Legion: 1080p High, Ray Traced Reflections Ultra, DLSS "Balanced": Avg FPS: 67 | 1% Low: 45 | 0.1% Low: 36

[@dyslectische]

I use it on my laptop models . The game cyberpunk with dlss on with middel and high mix up with raytracing . Stable 60 and up fps in the game Dlss is really a good option on a laptop model It really works . And with a small LCD 17" you do not see of some texture mistake.

Showing DLSS performance at the same same setting would have been cool. For having a taste of it on a 2080ti, at 1080p I see absolutely no differences in image qualt, just double fps pretty much. Can't wait for AMD's open source version.

But I'd say that we should always have second source or even more branches for worldwide demand since we mostly rely on Tsmc and Samsung.

[@esuil]

@@akmalrusydi2730 it is not TMSC fault, but graphic cards manufacturers. Thing about plants like TMSC and Samsung has is that they get their orders IN ADVANCE. In other words, everything they produce currently, was paid and booked months and months before. So what happened is that companies like NVidia were planning to release 3xxx series, and they booked specific amount of production for that. Like almost year in advance, if not more. Because of covid, everyone expected market to go down. So amount of chips they booked was less then actual demand that happened. They can't just buy more chip production, because they did not book it in advance - other companies did and plants are busy making chips for them (like car manufacturers for example). So it is not as much of a problem of low supply or high demand, but planning from NVidia, who did not order enough production in advance because they did not expect demand to be this high. So to put it simply, it is fully possible to meet current demands of gamers and whatnot for graphic cards. Why it is not met then? Because manufacturing was contracted by non graphic cards companies in advance, not because they can't produce enough. They can't just go "ah, you guys at NVidia need more chips, sure, we will ditch all our other clients to produce chips you did not order in advance".

You didn't have a dental appointment the other day did you? Also Cyberpunk Ray tracing test you had dlss off :)

[@DanielOfRussia]

In WD Legion as well. Running Tracing on a 2060 with Dlss disabled is really not the brightest idea, ofc the fps will go to hell. The "Quality" preset looks fairly decent even at 1080p and the sharpness Dlss provides totally compensates for lower internal resolution, yet the framerate increase is absolutely worth it and actually makes Rtx viable

[@JoeMaranophotography]

@@DanielOfRussia Yeah I run dlss in cyberpunk on my laptop 2070mq. I don't use Ray tracing though.

Lazy video, DLSS Quality actually improves IQ and gives a performance boost, not enabling it is just stupidity or ignorance, I'm not even sure.

[@adrianrylski8794]

@@Ebilcake improves iq? I'm not sure what you mean by that but it definitely does not increase the picture quality. It renders at smaller resolution therefore it has less detail to start with and stupidity here comes in to play if you think that dlss looks better than native res

Right there with you, i'd like an upgrade but not for multiples of MSRP. I'm making a VERY generous assumption in just finding one in stock somewhere besides ebay that's not just got a marked up holding price on it.

[@GrandPrix46]

@@xindeal982 yeah I really need a 3080 to take advantage of the 1440p/165hz monitor I recently upgraded to, but no way in hell am I giving somebody that much over msrp for one. I'm good with mostly medium/low settings, with a couple at high and 60-100 fps depending on what game I'm playing.

[@magicalsnek]

You get decent money for your used 1060 as well right now. I sold my RX570 for 300€ (which is crazy) and bought a used RTX2080 for 550€. While both of course being far overpriced, the upgrade price of 250€ would have been very similar if the prices were normal. So if you sell an old card and buy a new one, you could as well end up not paying a premium for the upgrade since all GPU prices are up. Actually you might be better off now than once the supply is coming back up. The new cards will still be overpriced but you won't get as much for your old one since everyone will be aware that prices of new cards will drop shortly.

[@maximumdt5084]

Same, nothing wrong with the 1060 6gb, ran Cyberpunk at High 900p 48fps average, was a pretty good experience. (48fps locked is actually pretty easy on the eyes, give it a shot if you can't hit 60)

[@GrandPrix46]

@@magicalsnek My spare rig has a 1060 6gb in it as well, practically new since it only has a few hours of use since purchase (couldn't pass it up for the price on ebay at the time, $130 for a bnib Asus card). May sell it since I rarely ever use it, but then my backup gpu would be an HD7970, which means I'd be back at 1080p if my current card bit the dust. I'll have to think on it.

@@aquaboxedyou9047 Sorry for the late reply. Yes, Alibaba is basically like a chinese ebay. You can find a few cards there or ShopBLT. However, ShopBLT is all backorder currently and has thousands of people in line already so it would take a couple months at the least to even get a card to ship. I recommend just scouring ebay, Alibaba, Facebook marketplace, Amazon and Newegg for starters. You can also check several youtube channels that have automated stock checks that will say when something is in stock. If you absolutely need a card, i recommend either buying something like a 950 or such older cards or if you have one stick with it and wait until bitcoin crashes to buy a new card at rrp/msrp, because it will, just noone knows when.

@lolseagull That would be the 1080Ti i'm afraid. 980Ti is so dated it even loses to cards like 1660Super/Ti/1070 in newer games, not by much but still does. 1080Ti, on the other hand, stably outperforms anything up to 2070 (well the 2070 actually barely matches it on occasion in games like Cyberpunk). Plus the 980Ti's 6Gb of vram is nothing in comparison to 1080Ti's 11, thanks to that you can even have some decent 4K experience with the 1080 in older games.

The question is: Does this have any utility as a mining card? If it does then it's going to be just as available as any other GPU, I.e. not at all. If not, we only have to worry about scalpers and fellow GPU starved gamers.

[@Trick-Framed]

I thought paying $649 for my RTX 3070 was ridiculous. It was $149 over MSRP and a Zotac OC model to boot. I am so glad I bought it. I had it in my head to wait until I could snag an RTX 3080. So glad I got this in the meantime. Beats my old 1080 FE by a country mile. And when the 3080 comes into stock or, by then, the 3080 Ti, I'll buy one and my daughter will get this 3070. Glad I didn't wait. 1080 FE is a great card and would have held up another year or more easy but it was technically long in the tooth and I really needed the FPS boost for competitive Fortnite and 4K gaming and the studio suite for streaming and audio work.

[@rafgp]

I have a feeling that whenever GPUs become readily available again at reasonable prices, the RTX 2060 will fill the role of the aging 1050Ti, since it's powerful enough to play the next few years worth of AAA games at 1080p with low-medium settings for a low price (about what the 1050Ti was aiming for with game releases from around it's release), especially if more games start implementing DLSS.

Personally I think that ray tracing is brilliant. I remember going from gaming on 2D graphics cards to voodoo 3dfx in the 90s and just having this feeling of there having been a qualitative leap in graphics that you couldn’t go back on. Having played through metro exodus, control and watchdogs legion with rtx I have got the same feeling and i haven’t had it in years. What 3dfx did for textures and lighting, rtx does for materials, reflections and higher order lighting effects. Many times in watch dogs legion I have just stood there looking at the reflections and the different ways in which materials around me are being rendered and just sat there going ‘wow’. Absolutely loving it.
