Nvidia will release RTX 2060 12GB on December 7
Earlier reports pointed out that Nvidia is planning to re-launch a new version of GeForce RTX 2060 based on Turing architecture, numbered PG161, GPU TU106-300-KX, and will be equipped with 12GB of GDDR6 video memory with a video memory bit width of 192 bits. At present, the performance of GeForce RTX 2060 is still competitive, which can meet the needs of players who do not have high requirements for game performance. Its production is very mature, and it does not need to occupy the production capacity of advanced technology, which can alleviate the shortage of GPUs.
Although it has been rumored that Nvidia will launch the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB version in January next year, however, Overclocking reports that the plan is likely to be advanced, and it will be released as early as December 7 this year in order to be released before Christmas, which means that it is only two weeks away from now. It is not clear what other changes will be made to the new GeForce RTX 2060 in addition to the increased video memory.
