Although everyone knows that most of the 30 series graphics cards have already entered the mines to work, it is inevitable that some uninhibited players still bite the bullet and bought them. According to Steam’s latest hardware survey report:
The proportion of RTX3070 is currently increasing
At the same time, the 20 series dessert card RTX2060 has also surpassed GTX1050TI for the first time. After GTX1060, the second most popular graphics card.
So in order to keep up with market changes, NVIDIA will launch a remake of RTX2060 with 12GB of video memory. Let’s get to know the details with Xiaojiang.
In fact, according to previous plans, when a new series of graphics cards are released, some old graphics cards will slowly stop production and reduce production until they are delisted. However, due to the overwhelming computing power of the current 30 series graphics cards, most of the products have been taken over by miners. At the same time, affected by multiple factors such as the epidemic and out of stock, there are very few that can reach the players.
As a result, users who just need the graphics card are forced to switch to old products. And this is the reason why the RTX2060 graphics card ratio we have seen is getting higher and higher. Just imagine, new products cannot be sold, and old products continue to be hot. As a manufacturer, how do you choose?
So Lao Huang made the decision to launch the RTX2060 remake. Although such a plan does not follow the routine, it is reasonable. So what are the new features of the new RTX2060?
What can be learned now is that the new version will still be built with Turing architecture and use TSMC’s 12nm process technology, with the core code name TUF106-300. It has 1920 CUDA cores, 48 sets of raster units, 120 texture units, 240 Tensor cores and 30 RT cores.These parameters are exactly the same as the old 2060.
However, in order to ensure due differentiation, the new version of RTX2060 will be equipped with 192bit GDDR6 memory, and the memory capacity will be increased to 12GB, and the power consumption of the entire card will reach approximately 170W.
According to wccftech news, in fact, as early as January this year, NVIDIA has already announced to customers that it will launch a new version of the RTX2060 graphics card to meet the needs of the DIY and OEM markets.
However, due to the critical period of the RTX3060 graphics card release at that time, and in order to ensure sufficient inventory supply and focus the remaining chips and production capacity on the RTX30 series research and development, the new version of the RTX2060 was shelved.
But now, the shortage of 30 series graphics cards will continue until 2022, and in order to avoid the phenomenon of no cards available, NVIDIA has restarted its plan to launch a new version of RTX2060. As for this approach, will it exacerbate the shortage of 30-series graphics cards? For now, there is no need to worry.
The reason is that the current production process of RTX2060 is quite mature. Both the yield and cost can be well controlled, and it will not occupy too much advanced process capacity. . In terms of price, according to wccftech's news, since NVIDIA has already lowered the price of RTX2060 to $299, the price of the new version of RTX2060 will not be too high, and it is expected to be the same as the starting price two years ago. That is 349 US dollars, or about 2268 yuan.
As for the release date, the fastest is January next year.But the specific time still depends on the manufacturing speed. So guys, what do you think about NVIDIA's use of the new version of RTX2060 to save the market? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss
