The way you're meant to be played™

Straight up just relaunching the 2060 Super with its original 8 GB would have made more sense. Still, congrats to Nvidia for probably having the first ever paper launch of a 3 year old GPU.

[adnelortiz]

As the other Steve would say: The extra memory is "a waste of sand."

[SwordQuake]

If anyone expects nvidia to help gamers they've clearly lived in a cave for the last 10 years.

[Lxcx]

NVIDIA: "10GB is enough for top end 4k gaming"
Also NVIDIA: "Let's do a 12GB mid range GPU used for 1080p"
... that's so dumb

[menpee]

Ohh, I'm really waiting for the moment the mining ecosystem crash just to hear the GPU makers (ALL of them are guilty) next statement about how they always loved and prioritized the gaming market and how hard they worked to solve the entire situation.

The card we didn't deserve but the card we never needed

[TurboJohn]

To manufacturers and suppliers:

We won't forget all the times you threw us the middle finger, and neither will our we will do business elsewhere whenever possible

[Bill-ltqf]

wow, feels like a massive middle finger to the customers.

[mRibbons]

Since most people have to skip this generation of gpus, the demand for the next gen is gonna be crazy... and the cycle continues. Lowly times, these are.

[GyroO]

This is just depressing
As ironic as it sounds I really hope that intel could save the gpu market

[hadifelani]

7:44 glad to see that 6600 XT is the winner for power efficiency. Been using it since August replacing my 3.5 years old RX580 and pretty satisfied with it.

[JosiahBradley]

Wait the 2060 cost more than the 3070? WTF? Just helped a friend get a 3060 ti for a horrible 700$ and thought that was bad. But this is worse.

[shadyweaver]

I'd be interested to see stock availability on the rest of the palette, seeing as how industry sources have been barking about how they don't want to manufacture 1GB GDDR6 chips. This might be a weird result of that.

[Tential]

620 for a 2060. This is real life.... I play stock market now. I can't do this GPU thing.

[Bilstar]

I almost hope these prices permanently damage the PC gaming market and hurt Nvidia later. Or their HQ burns down, either is good.

[EvernooBE]

This one sentence sums it all up : "Nvidia sells as many non competitive GPU's to miners, so when these eventually flood the used market they'll be almost worthless and not compete with the actual gamer GPU's"

[fatal]

I'm watching this because I just bought a RTX 2060 12gb off of amazon for 33% off and I payed like $270 for it which was absolutely mental considering my 1060 that I Currently operate on was originally around the same price when I bought it and still is. Crazy deal!

[JMartinni]

Those results... back in mid-2019 I saw so many posts recommending a 2070, 2060S and even 2060 over the 5700/5700XT, and now look where they ended up.

[scaredycrow]

I wasn’t aware AMD set the specification for RTX 2060s 😂
