The 6GB RTX 2060 is the latest addition to NVIDIA’s RTX series of graphics card which are based on their Turing architecture. Turing features AI enhanced graphics and real time ray tracing which is intended to deliver a more realistic gaming experience. The 6GB 2060 has 1920 CUDA cores, a base/boost clock of 1365/1680 MHz, GDRR6 memory and a memory bandwidth of 336GB/s. At an MRSP of $349 for the Founders Edition, this GPU offers the best value for money amongst the RTX range to date and somewhat redeems NVIDIA from their earlier RTX models (2070, 2080, 2080 Ti) which offered significantly worse value for money. There are still too few games that support RTX to make this feature particularly relevant to buyers, but on average 60+ FPS @ 1440p for most current games at high settings should be achievable. The 2060 can also be overclocked to eke out a bit more performance. In some locations, the 2060 is currently in a similar price bracket to the GTX 1070 Ti which has a 12% greater effective speed and AMD’s highly overclockable RX Vega 56 which has an 8% greater effective speed. Both alternatives are H2 2017 GPUs that lack RTX but still continue to offer solid performance and value at todays prices. [Jan '19GPUPro]
The GTX 1070 is Nvidia’s second graphics card (after the 1080) to feature the new 16 nm Pascal architecture. As a result of the die shrink from 28 to 16 nm, Pascal based cards are more energy efficient than their predecessors. The GTX 1070 is rated at just 150 Watts. In terms of performance the gap between the flagship 1080 and 1070 averages 25%. Both GPUs have 8GB of DDR5 and although they share the same processing core (GP104), the 1070 has 25% of its resources disabled. Comparing performance between the 1070 and legendary GTX 970 shows that the newer 1070 wins by a whopping 50%. The GTX 1070 has only just hit the market so, at least for the time being, prices are significantly over the Founders Edition MSRP of $450 but Nvidia have stated that they expect third party cards to sell from $379 at which time the 1070 will likely dominate as the value for money leader.
