The shortage of graphics cards has not yet been resolved. Therefore, for players who want to buy new graphics cards, they will definitely look forward to NVIDIA or AMD launching new cards. At least they will have a chance to grab them when they go on sale. However, the RTX 2060 12GB recently quietly launched by NVIDIA may disappoint many people. The recommended selling price of this card is a bit too high, and some people have actually tested that the mining power is stronger than the RTX 3060. Miners will definitely find ways to buy it.
NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB An overpriced but better mining graphics card for gamers
Recently, NVIDIA quietly launched the RTX 2060 12GB on the market without any official press release. It is very quiet. Foreign online shopping platforms have also begun to sell this model. The current price almost all starts at 600 euros, and some even reach 700 euros, which is between NT$18,730 ~ NT$22,000:
RTX 2060 12GB uses the same TU106 GPU as RTX 2060 SUPER, with 2176 CUDA cores, 136 Tensor cores, and 64 RT cores. The base clock is 1470MHz and can reach 1650MHz after acceleration. The memory bandwidth is lower, becoming 192 bits, and the TDP power consumption falls at 185W.
The price range of the RTX 2060 12GB currently on the market is similar to that of the RTX 3070, which means that it uses a two-year-old GPU and does not have as many functions as Ampere (such as: PCIe Gen 4.0, NVENC encoder, Resizable Bar, etc.), but it is sold at a similar price. This is how players can afford it.
What is even more depressing is Hong Kong PCMarket I have obtained this and conducted a mining test. The computing power of RTX 2060 12GB reached 31.65MH/s, which is higher than RTX 3060 and RX 600XT. The CP value is also better than the CMP mining card series, so miners will definitely notice this. This also means that RTX 2060 12 GB will definitely be speculated higher after a while:
