Why would you even…? #Helpful Post

re you tired of gaming and boring old

4k well this sucks

I can barely even make out the

individual pixels I'm even gonna know

it's a video game are you tired of

having all that extra money in your

wallet

introducing the new r-tx 2060 the more

expensive version of the GTX 1160 we

accidentally leaked a few weeks ago now

you can play all your compatible games

at half the framerate by now awesome and

you know what else is awesome our

all kidding aside we've been pretty

negative about product releases from

Nvidia lately and while it's good to get

our frustrations out every once in a

while it gets pretty boring if

everything is crap you know so for this

review I'm going to give the r-tx 2060

every chance I'd can for it to impress

me and I'm gonna try not to think too

much about my problems with the rest of

the r-tx launches and that should be

pretty easy on paper this thing actually

has a lot going for it compared to the

GTX 1060 it's got more CUDA cores and

way faster memory that is depending on

which version of the card you get more

on that later and that's to say nothing

of the inclusion of the USB type-c based

virtual link connector in fact the r-tx

2060 looks more like a beefed up gtx

1070 which is great because it's priced

that way too okay all right sorry I'm

letting a little bit of salt seep in

here but at 3:49 Nvidia's newest real

time ray tracing accelerator is a cool

handle more than its direct predecessor

60 tier card anywho like the gtx 1070 we

are down to one eighth pin PCI Express

power connector and while our founders

Edition is still rockin the new r-tx

style dual fan cooler design retreated

to a smaller lighter card overall that

on the surface looks a lot friendlier to

small form factors than its bigger

brothers in practice though this shorter

PCB design ends up being less helpful

than you'd think

thanks to the rear position of the PCI

Express power connector bummer

partner boards don't have to end up that

way though so all that really matters

about our founders Edition is how it

performs since launching - uproarious

applause r-tx ray-tracing and deep

learning super sampling anti aliasing

have been hot new features announced for

dozens of games so we should have plenty

to look at now that it's been on the

market for several months

rats that was more salt there wasn't it

but it's okay it's okay at least we have

something to look at now the shadow of

the Tomb Raider team's only birthday

present to me ended up being empty

promises but battlefield 5 and final

fantasy 15 respectively had support for

these features though a new card

supporting them doesn't tell us much

that we didn't already know our our fps

is roughly half for the privilege of

turning our TX on which in this case

unfortunately takes a GPU that is

capable of playable frame rates at 4k

medium settings and drops us to 1080p is

the difference between 1080p and 4k that

noticeable maybe not so much like you're

really in the heat of battle but as we

discussed in our recent video on

resolution vs. framerate the inability

to run at greater than 60 fps is going

to put you at a competitive disadvantage

in competitive games and that difference

in resolution is noticeable in

sightseeing titles as for DLS s it

performs pretty well but it's locked at

4k which means that this card translates

to a passable score in the final fantasy

15 benchmark it's not a great benchmark

but it does show us a pretty

representative performance difference

between TI a and d LS s now whether or

not you like the LS s anyway and the

shimmering that it retains on thin edges

versus ta a that's another story on to

more traditional gaming scenarios the RT

x 2060 runs significantly faster than

the gtx 1070 a pretty solid place to be

considering its similar specs and launch

price DirectX 12 in particular

exemplifies the improvements to

asynchronous compute that tearing brings

to the table and as a result we've got a

decent uplift pretty much across the

board and the RT x 2060s prospects

improve even further in our productivity

suite where it beats out the gtx 1070 by

a significant margin in lux mark and for

that matter

actually most workstation tasks budget

workstation use actually might be this

cards calling especially when you look

at its performance across

all but one test inspect you perf now

while we didn't run any deep learning

tests today armchair AI researchers

should directly benefit from the tensor

course and the fact that the GeForce

r-tx 2060 is the cheapest card that has

them it should come as no surprise

though but with all this tech packed

into it power consumption is up along

with thermal output showing us exactly

why the card still rocks the dense Finn

arrangement and dual fan cooler design

it's not terrible though because the

thing about power and thermals is that

you always have to look at it relatively

and AMD's closest performance competitor

Vega isn't even in the same ballpark

helping matters further partner cards

will probably have some interesting

board layouts and cooling solutions that

should make this a very versatile little

GPU with all of that in mind

who exactly is the r-tx 2064 well at

risk of sounding negative for the life

of me I can't think of a reason to use

its premiere feature you know the one

that's printed several times on the card

I mean even at medium settings it still

have z' your frame rate which is

unacceptable for a competitive shooter

like battlefield 5 especially if you use

a high refresh rate monitor and yes the

LSS is faster than taa but that assumes

that a six gig card can run future

supported games in 4k well enough to

even use the feature as for traditional

rendering well it's faster than a gtx

1070 at a similar launch price but then

you're paying $100 premium on a 60

series card

compared to the previous 60 series

anyway just for the privilege of that RT

X badge that you're not using

so the real conclusion here seems to be

the one that we haven't been given the

information to draw and that's that you

should buy the rumored upcoming r-tx

lists gtx 1160 that was leaked with

otherwise identical specs now

workstation performance seems really

promising at first

but the 1160 should come with the same

benefits there as well unless you're

into deep learning which leaves us today

then with a card that occupies a tidy

little decent gaming and also light

workstation you snitch until Nvidia

undermines its own product with a lower

priced alternative so buy it quickly

then to ensure that it's not irrelevant

by the time it arrives

oh but buy the right version because

rumor has it there's three different

memory configurations across three

different capacities so your mileage may
