RTX 2060-Super

NVIDIA’s high performance RTX 2060 Super GPU is a refreshed version of their RTX 2060 launched just 10 months prior. With this iteration, NVIDIA are hoping to contest AMD’s recent RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT with a better value proposition than compared to the 2060. The RTX 2060 Super uses the same GPU die as in the 2060, but has extra CUDA cores (increasing from 1920 to 2176) and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory (up from 6 GB), capable of delivering 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It has a base and boost frequency of 1470 and 1650 MHz respectively, and has a TDP of 175 W, compared to 160 W in the 2060. Overall, there is a 15-20% increase in effective speed from the 2060 to 2060 Super, for around a $50 USD premium on reference price tags. At $400 USD, the 2060 Super competes head to head with AMD’s new 5700 XT which is built on the new RDNA 7nm microarchitecture. Early benchmarks place the 5700 XT in front with around a 10% greater effective speed, which is closer to the performance seen from the $500 USD RTX 2070 Super. For now NVIDIA will retain the "not-Super" RTX 2060 as the most affordable GPU in the ray-tracing 2000 series at $350 USD. ^{[Jul '19 GPUPro]}
