The GPU shortage has hit gamers hard, but Nvidia has an unorthodox solution: Re-release old GPUs. It’s SO crazy that it might actually work… MIGHT.

4:20 Partners lose, scalpers lose – Win-win?
6:04 Have they just been hoarding GPUS???
8:01 But why more GDDR6?
9:42 Could this be… a good thing?
Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Nividia next year:Lets do it again,now on the 4000 generation
I spent 200 on mine this week.
I'm a broke wannabe filmmaker so to me getting that used but pretty much brand new RTX 2060 with 12GB for 190€ is nothing short of a blessing.
It’s use for me is that it’s basically a RTX 3060 with Windows 8.1 drivers.
Ya know, I at least wish that when this kind of refresh happens, they give it the Ti moniker. Like 1060 3GB & 6GB, why not the OG 1060 then a 1060Ti? 2060 6GB & 12GB? original, then Super varient, then 2060Ti (Hey, the name sells & it would be a good way to help differentiate between 2060 types…. Though I wish the 2060 12GB would then be given the 256-bit bus)
I bought one of these at Canada Computers back in December for a machine used for editing 4k60 video from a DJI Osmo Action and basic edits in davinci resolve with color correction, stabilization, fusion titles and a bit of audio work get shit out at about 130fps. Not half fuckin bad for something I paid $329cdn plus tax for. Absolutely zero complaints.
I bought one a couple of weeks ago for like 270 dollars (ended up paying a little bit more than 300 because of the shipment) and so far… i'm pretty happy with it. My previous gpu was a 1050 Ti so this one was a big step up. I was considering the 3050 at first but apparently the 2060 it's still a little bit better and cheaper.
That being said, i don't know if i would totally recommend it, especially with the 4000 series around the corner.
….and it blows away a 3050 and a rx6500xt for the same price LOL
I have a 1660TI ever heard of it 🙂
8 months later (Aug 2022), they're in-stock at the EVGA store for $239… ok, I know nobody cares… but it's there.
9 months later: the crypto markets have crashed, every graphics card is back to MSRP (or lower!) and I just grabbed this 2060 12GB from EVGA in the video above for $239 new. Would have been $269 on Newegg or $279 on Amazon but EVGA's website actually had the steepest discount.
I got one used in like new condition for 300 I’m actually happy going from a 1650 super to this.
I just got 2060 12gb brand new for 250 euros on a sale 😅
well I found a 12 gb 2060 for like msrp so I gonna take it
Next…GTX 1630…''can't wait for that monster'' ;-DDD

The core in the 2060 12gb is actually the 2060 Super core. It's still a substantial upgrade for some of the lower Pascal cards and the Maxwell cards, for anyone who still might be using one, which is a lot more people than you might think, based on the Steam hardware survey. I would even go as far as to say that it is competitive against the 1080 and 1080 Ti in certain circumstances, like with Raytracing on, or in games with DLSS support.
imagine relaunch 20 series cards
I have a msi rtx 2060 gaming z and can't afford a 30 series so I hope the 20 series stays around
Should i buy this or rtx 3050 8gb?
id like to see say 2 980ti sammiched together too obviously double the powaa!
i just got this card lol
i have to say i hate the white background
How could this be any form of a win for consumers??????
I got my 2060 back in March 2019 for MSRP and I am so glad, it's still a decent mid-tier card, still plays everything I want in 1440p and I'm very happy with it.. going to be a while till I upgrade with these prices.
A 780 would still be an upgrade for me. :/
got a 2080 for $300 right before the 30xx launch. i thank my lucky stars every time i turn on my PC. i feel so bad for folks trying to get anything decent in the current market.
I don't get it, here the RTX 2060 12GB is $20 AUD more than some RTX 3060s. WTF!
That poor prebuilt company that had to fulfill my 30 series order that I put through before they dropped. It took almost a year, but god damn I payed 1200 for a computer and the gpu is worth 1100 now. Thank you ibuypower, I forgive you for your phones being off the hook all the time.
Yes,
28nm is one of the most popular node there is, its pretty much as utilized now as back in the day. Even GlobalFoundries that has no bleeding edge node has said that they are pretty much sold out for the next couple of years.
Love the angle/devil banter of this video. Great job and keep it up LTT!!!
As someone still running a 970, this is decent. Although mines still chugging along like a car with several hundred thousand miles.
