NVIDIA’s introduction of the new Turing card was unsurprising, given that we’ve been talking about it since September. NVIDIA’s sole choice was to make a stealth change to their website and provide a brief statement to the press.
„The price will vary depending on the specific model and region. It is a premium version of the RTX 2060 6GB and we expect the price to reflect that. Please contact our AIC partners for specific product details and pricing.“
According to the website update, the card has 2176 CUDA cores and is effectively an RTX 2060 SUPER with reduced memory bandwidth (it even has the same clock speeds).
We concluded in our initial reporting that the availability of NVIDIA’s design is excellent news since users would be able to purchase the card at MSRP through NVIDIA’s website or chosen retail partners. An AIB launch would simply mean that MSRP would be a pipe dream once AIB profits and retail overcharges are factored in.
Unfortunately, the Founders Edition listing appears to have been a mistake, since NVIDIA has already deleted this information from its website.
TechPowerUP has confirmed with their sources at board partners, that their cards will indeed be the only version of the RTX 2060 12GB cards:
NVIDIA has updated their website to remove the “Founders Edition” part from their specs page […]. We confirmed with NVIDIA that there will be no RTX 2060 12 GB Founders Edition, only custom designs by their various board partners.
NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB is officially launching on December 7th. So far no board partner has shown its design.
