Taken from Tom's Hardware Jensen Huang for the first time got right to gaming business and discuss RTX 2060 and Mobile.

To be honest, if I was still using my 1070, I would jump right into the 2060 and I care nothing for Raytracing anyways. Anyone who's still using 970 might be interest going with this for only $350?

(All Nvidia is doing is rebranding older GPU. 2060 has the price tag of 1070/1070Ti)

Personally is a good buy if you are on 1060 and below. 1070ti at launch was $450 and now the RTX 2060 performance is around 1070ti but at 100 bucks less launch.

Not a half bad price. You can get 1070-1070TIs on sale for a similar price now, so it's a reasonable cost if you want similar performance with the new feature set

I'm not gonna lie, that's a good value with the RX 3080 turns out to be legit over 2070. I just want AMD to put the pressure on Nvidia when it comes to competition.

So basically a 1070ti with RTX but cheaper, yet still 100 dollars more than the previous gen 60 card. The last gen 60 card (1060) was about equal to the 80 card of the gen before that (980) but was still 250 dollars. RTX cards remain a terrible value all because of some gimmicky feature and an AMD that can't compete. Hopefully the red team can make a comeback with Navi to bring the prices back down to earth. They should have more funds now thanks to ryzen and with Nvidia getting greedier, now is their golden opportunity.

I thought the prices are back to where they were before the bitcoin crap warmed up. I see some 6 GB GTX 1060 cards at newegg.com that are lower-priced than when I bought mine.

Anyway, I have no plans to go beyond 1080p for the foreseeable future. So, the 2060 sounds like a good upgrade for me....and I sure as heck want to see more ray-traced assets in-game.

I'm still using a GTX Titan, But I have it super overclocked, The GPU clock is 954Mhz, Memory is 1670Mhz, And the boost is 1006Mhz...

I don't know how it compares to anything?

Well at 1ghz the Kepler based Titan operates at 5.4 TFLOPS, but its pixel rate is low like 50 g/pixels. If I have to guess its around GTX 970 level of performance.

I too have no plans to go beyond 1440p myself and 4K looks good, but not for me in a sense. I enjoy gaming in 1440p but if you are considering purchasing a 2060, $350 doesn't look too shabby for what it's offering. There's still AMD Navi coming soon for a reasonable price if you are interest in Navi.

Can we not do this again... The cards will not retail for MSRP. you will be lucky to find a RTX 2060 for less than $400.

In the UK the cards are listed on sites but the price is withheld, a week before launch?... I'm sorry but that is too suspicious.

All the reviewers are basing their performance on the price but no site selling the cards has the prices up yet... I will get my pop corn ready and wait, rumour has it that in the UK you won't find a good after market RTX 2060 less than £400.

I'm going to wait and see the rumored GTX 1160 has to offer. That and also the new AMD cards as well.

I'll wait and see what happens to real-time ray-tracing first before reconsidering an AMD card. If AMD gets onboard? Then, I might go back to my old habit of alternating between Nvidia and AMD video cards. But, I haven't had an AMD card since my HD 5770. Strange because my eldest kid has an R9 290x on her PC while my youngest has a 2 GB R9 380.

Nvidia will kill raytracing if they launch a non rtx version of the RTX2060.
