1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,200
are you tired of gaming in boring old 4k

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,080
well this sucks i could barely even make out the individual pixels

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,440
how am i even gonna know it's a video game are you tired of having all that extra

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,960
money in your wallet introducing the new rtx 2060 the more

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,880
expensive version of the gtx 1160 we accidentally leaked a few weeks ago now

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,640
you can play all your compatible games at half the frame rate

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:32,800
buy now awesome

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,559
and you know what else is awesome our sponsor for this video glasswire with

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,399
glasswire you can instantly see your current and past network activity detect

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,840
malware and block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device use offer code

11
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:45,840
Linus to get 25 off below

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,160
all kidding aside we've been pretty negative about product releases from

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,000
NVIDIA lately and while it's good to get our frustrations out every once in a

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,240
while it gets pretty boring if everything is crap you know so for this

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:15,040
review i'm going to give the rtx 2060 every

16
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:19,200
chance i can for it to impress me and i'm gonna try not to think too much

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,920
about my problems with the rest of the rtx launches

18
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:27,360
and that should be pretty easy on paper this

19
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:33,759
thing actually has a lot going for it compared to the gtx 1060 it's got more

20
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,680
cuda cores and way faster memory uh that

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,680
is depending on which version of the card you get more on that later and

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:46,079
that's to say nothing of the inclusion of the usb type-c based virtual link

23
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,399
connector in fact the rtx 2060 looks

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,720
more like a beefed up gtx 1070

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:57,360
which is great because it's priced that way too okay all right sorry i'm letting

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:03,439
a little bit of salt seep in here but at 3 49 NVIDIA's newest real-time ray

27
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:07,840
tracing accelerator is a cool hondo more

28
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:11,599
than its direct predecessor 60 tier card

29
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:14,160
anywho like the gtx 1070 we are down to

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:19,280
one 8-pin pci express power connector and while our founders edition is still

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:24,879
rocking the new rtx style dual fan cooler design we're treated to a smaller

32
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:29,840
lighter card overall that on the surface looks a lot friendlier to small form

33
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,640
factors than his bigger brothers in practice though this shorter pcb

34
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,440
design ends up being less helpful than you'd think thanks to the rear position

35
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,640
of the pci express power connector bummer

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,640
partner boards don't have to end up that way though so all that really matters

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,040
about our founders edition is how it performs

38
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:56,720
since launching two uproarious applause rtx ray tracing and deep learning super

39
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,840
sampling anti-aliasing have been hot new features announced for dozens of games

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,840
so we should have plenty to look at now that it's been on the market for several

41
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,840
months

42
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,680
rats that was more salt there wasn't it but it's okay it's okay at least we have

43
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:14,879
something to look at now the shadow of the tomb raider team's only birthday

44
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:20,640
present to me ended up being empty promises but battlefield 5 and final

45
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,879
fantasy xv respectively had support for these features though a new card

46
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,920
supporting them doesn't tell us much that we didn't already know our FPS is

47
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,519
roughly halved for the privilege of turning rtx on which in this case

48
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:42,159
unfortunately takes a GPU that is capable of playable frame rates at 4k

49
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,560
medium settings and drops us to 1080p is

50
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,159
the difference between 1080p and 4k that noticeable

51
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:53,040
maybe not so much like we're really in the heat of battle but as we discussed

52
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:58,159
in our recent video on resolution versus frame rate the inability to run at

53
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:02,959
greater than 60 FPS is going to put you at a competitive disadvantage in

54
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:09,040
competitive games and that difference in resolution is noticeable in sightseeing

55
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,840
titles as for dlss it performs pretty

56
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:15,760
well but it's locked at 4k

57
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:21,840
which means that this card translates to a passable score in the final fantasy 15

58
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,960
benchmark it's not a great benchmark but it does show us a pretty representative

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,720
performance difference between taa and dlss

60
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:35,120
now whether or not you like the lss anyway and the shimmering that it

61
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,120
retains on thin edges versus taa that's another story on to more

62
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:45,040
traditional gaming scenarios the rtx 2060 runs significantly faster than the

63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,199
gtx 1070 a pretty solid place to be

64
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,360
considering its similar specs and launch price directx 12 in particular

65
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,199
exemplifies the improvements to asynchronous compute that turing brings

66
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,080
to the table and as a result we've got a decent uplift pretty much across the

67
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,199
board and the rtx 2060s prospects improve even

68
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,240
further in our productivity suite where it beats out the gtx 1070 by a

69
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,680
significant margin in luxmark and for that matter actually most workstation

70
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,080
tasks budget workstation use actually might be

71
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,560
this card's calling especially when you look at its performance across all but

72
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,160
one test in specuperf now while we didn't run any deep

73
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,199
learning tests today armchair ai researchers should directly benefit from

74
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:34,320
the tensor course and the fact that the GeForce rtx 2060 is the cheapest card

75
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,320
that has them it should come as no surprise though but with all this tech

76
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,280
packed into it power consumption is up along with thermal output showing us

77
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,240
exactly why the card still rocks the

78
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:51,440
dense fin arrangement and dual fan cooler design it's not terrible though

79
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:56,560
because the thing about power and thermals is that you always have to look

80
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:59,039
at it relatively and AMD's closest

81
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,199
performance competitor vega isn't even in the same ballpark

82
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,360
helping matters further partner cards will probably have some interesting

83
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:12,240
board layouts and cooling solutions that should make this a very versatile little

84
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:18,639
GPU with all of that in mind

85
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:21,120
who exactly is the rtx 2064 well at risk

86
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:25,680
of sounding negative for the life of me i can't think of a reason to use its

87
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:32,560
premiere feature you know the one that's printed several times on the card

88
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:35,120
i mean even at medium settings it still

89
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,680
halves your frame rate which is unacceptable for a competitive shooter

90
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:45,520
like battlefield 5 especially if you use a high refresh rate monitor

91
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:48,960
and yes dlss is faster than taa but that

92
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,280
assumes that a 6 gig card can run future

93
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,319
supported games in 4k well enough to even use the feature

94
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,000
as for traditional rendering well it's faster than a gtx 1070 at a similar

95
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,599
launch price but then you're paying a hundred dollar

96
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:08,000
premium on a 60 series card compared to

97
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:12,960
the previous 60 series anyway just for the privilege of that rtx badge that

98
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:16,880
you're not using so the real conclusion here seems to be the one that we haven't

99
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:23,520
been given the information to draw and that's that you should buy the rumored

100
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:27,120
upcoming rtx list gtx 1160 that was

101
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,520
leaked with otherwise identical specs

102
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,400
now workstation performance seems really promising at first but the 1160 should

103
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:39,759
come with the same benefits there as well unless you're into deep learning

104
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:44,720
which leaves us today then with a card that occupies a tidy little

105
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:48,960
decent gaming and also light workstation use niche until NVIDIA undermines its

106
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,479
own product with a lower priced alternative so

107
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:57,280
buy it quickly then to ensure that it's not irrelevant by the time it arrives oh

108
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:02,400
but buy the right version because rumor has it there's three different memory

109
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:07,120
configurations across three different capacities so

110
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:10,879
