If you’re looking for a decent budget to mid-range graphics card, this Asus RTX 2060 Cyber Monday deal on Amazon is about the same as what we’re likely to see. With a reduced $179 price tag, which is $40 more than the RTX 2060’s previous top price of $219, this will sell quickly.

Looking at the GPU benchmark tier, we can see that the RTX 2060 is a few percentage points faster than the RTX 3050. This is true for ray-traced and rasterized games. That’s mostly because it has a 192-bit memory interface and 336 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to just 224 GB/s for the 3050 with a 128-bit interface.
Not as fast as AMD’s RX 6600 in rasterized games, but better in DXR (DirectX Ray Tracing) performance. Now that the RX 6600’s $189 deal is gone, this is almost as good as a “budget” GPU, easily beating out cards like the RX 6500 XT, GTX 1650 and Arc A380.
Turing has been available since 2018 and the RTX 2060 was originally launched in early 2019. We would normally expect to run out of supply after 4 years, but the GPU shortage over the past 2 years has kept us in production. This should mean the end of the venerable TU106 GPU and Turing architecture, as cryptocurrency mining (on GPUs) has effectively stopped for the time being.
