I think I lost count of how many screws, and tiny screws at that, were removed to get these images. Taking this thing apart was, for me, quite an exercise in patience. This is a bit different than the 2080/2080 Ti which doesn’t include DVI, but adds another DisplayPort. As far as outputs are concerned, both cards have 2x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, 1x USB Type-C, and DVI. This combination yields in spec power delivery of up to 225 W. Power needs on both the 20 come in the form of a single 8-pin PCIe plug located on the end of the card opposite the I/O. They use a different PCB and power bits here versus the more powerful cards, and they retain the same size fans, but have a different heatsink hidden below. When reading out our RTX 2080/RTX 2080 Ti review, one will likely notice the little FE cards look the same as the big ones except they are a couple of inches shorter. Since both cards look exactly the same and have the same underpinnings/power delivery, we’ll use the RTX 2060 in all of these pictures We see two large fans with a grey aluminum outline and shroud, while between the fans is the name of the card. Like the 20 Ti, both cards use NVIDIA’s dual fan, dual slot cooling solution. Meet the NVIDIA RTX 2060/2070 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 Slide the box open to expose the card and we see it sitting securely in foam protecting it from transport damage. The retail packaging for the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 FE cards come in the same style packaging we saw the RTX 20 Ti show up in, but these are not as wide (the cards are not as long). Specificationsīelow is our always gratuitous GPUz picture confirming the specifications above. If one needs a features refresh for Turing, head on over to our RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti review where we covered that material in detail. Both cards memory is clocked at 1750 MHz/14 Gbps. Power use for the RTX 2070 FE is rated at 185 W with the 2060 coming in a bit lower at 160 W. The memory bandwidth is 256-bit on the 2070 and 8GB GDDR6, while the 2060 is 192-bit and sports 6 GB GDDR6. The 2060 meanwhile sports 1920 CUDA cores, 242 Tensor Cores, and 30 RT cores. The 2070 includes 2944 CUDA core, 288 Tensor Cores, and 36 RT cores. The 2070 uses the full version of this while the 2060 is cut back slightly. Both offer the RT and Tensor cores but in this flavor, use the TU106 core. SpecificationsĪt a high level, the 20 are not too much different from its bigger brothers. Read on to see how both cards stacked up against the full RTX lineup which was retested using the latest drivers. Though the pricing brackets have seemingly moved up a notch with Turing’s release, both cards strive to offer a better value than the higher-tier cards while still allowing for a good gaming experience including the use of Ray Tracing in Battlefield V (now tested!!!). The RTX 2060 FE on the other hand, is priced at $349. To that end, the MSRP for the RTX 2070 FE will be $599 with reference versions at $499. The latter being released in 10/2018 while the RTX 2060 was released (well arrived on my doorstep) January 7th – our first day of CES.īoth cards aim to bring ray tracing (RT) capabilities and its Tensor Cores to a lower price point where most graphics cards are sold. As most know by now, both of NVIDIA’s mid-range cards have been released in the RTX 2060 FE and RTX 2070 FE. Better late than never is a popular phrase coined by Geoffery Chaucer from way back in the day that is perfectly applicable now, particularly for this review.
