Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super

This card just cut the price of 2070 performance by $100

LET’S JUST GET this out of the way right at the beginning: We think the Super branding could quite possibly be one of the dumbest things we’ve seen in recent years. We’re definitely looking forward to the redundant naming that’s bound to come from EVGA: the GeForce RTX 2060 Super SSC (Super Super Clocked). But complaints about naming aside, we’re looking at modestly improved core counts.

The Turing architecture behind the new Super RTX cards is identical to existing RTX cards. That means the hardware includes RT cores for DirectX Raytracing and Vulkan-RT, Tensor cores for DLSS and other machine-learning workloads, variable rate shading, mesh shaders, and concurrent integer and floating-point execution pipelines.

The 2060 Super has 8GB of GDDR6, which equates to 33 percent more bandwidth—the same as the 2070 Super. The TU106 has up to 36 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors), and the 2060 Super has 34 enabled. That puts it right between the old 2060 and the 2070.
