Ordinarily, the re-release of what is effectively a last-gen card with some extra VRAM might not be cause for so much buzz. Of course, that assumes the company didn't mistakenly mention the 2060 in its latest GRD changelog, which is possible. Presumably, Nvidia wouldn't list it as a newly-supported device if a release date isn't on the horizon. We wouldn't expect an MSRP too different from the 2060 Super, which sat right at the $400 mark.Įither way, we probably won't be waiting long for answers to these unknowns. We aren't sure precisely when the card will release - rumors point toward December 7 - nor do we know how much it will cost. For contrast, the 2060 Super has a 256-bit bus and 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth.Ī few things are still unclear at the moment, though. Specifically, the 2060 12GB will ship with a 192-bit memory bus and 336 GB/s memory bandwidth, which is what the base 2060 had. However, there are still differences, according to Videocardz. It will likely have the same number of CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores, and the boost clock is also predicted to be identical. After all, all signs point to the specs lining up closely with the 8GB 2060 Super rather than the older 6GB 2060. In today's Game Ready Driver release notes, for driver version 497.09 WHQL, Nvidia distinctly mentions adding support for what it calls the 'GeForce RTX 2060 12GB.' Upon first glance, it might seem odd that the company didn't attach the 'Super' moniker to this card.

However, the card hadn't been confirmed officially by Nvidia. With next-gen titles increasing texture sizes substantially, an affordable, RT-ready card with twice the VRAM of its predecessor is a pretty appealing notion to many.

Confirmed: Though we're already well into the life cycle of RTX 30-series cards, rumors have been floating around that suggest Nvidia is working on a new, 12GB 2060 model.
