hey guys has a gun and welcome to my coverage of CES 2019 I'd like to start out by thanking my sponsors for this event Coolermaster Animax deep cool and Corsair and I'm not in Las Vegas yet I am actually at home still because the first video of CES 2019 is going to be on this graphics card the r-tx 2060 so if you're watching this it should be January 7th after I think 7:00 a.m. Pacific time and the r-tx 2060 was just announced last night at a keynote given by Jensen I'm sure he was wearing his leather jacket and I'm sure it went great oh that's in the future for me but I don't to get too distracted by time travel long story short the r-tx 2060 is in videos new graphics card it was touring architecture support for ray tracing and it has been expected for some time since they launched the 2080 TI and the 2080 and the 2070 logic dictates they'll do a 2060 as well and here it is now the launch price for this graphics card is 350 dollars and that is for the founders Edition that I have here or add inboard third-party designs that we will also see trickling out very soon so it's kind of nice that Nvidia isn't doing the more expensive price for the founders Edition again like they did before that was somewhat confusing however we are looking at a three hundred and fifty dollar sixty series cards whereas if you're looking like 1060 well that was like a 250 dollar card maybe 300 when you're talking about the depths of the GPU mining fad so I think there's two ways to look at this either you have a gtx 1070 class card that's launching for 350 dollars because this should theoretically beat the gtx 1070 or you're looking at the nvidia again increasing the price of their 60 series cards which previously have sold for around 250 ish dollars if cost is a concern for you you might be consoled somewhat by the fact that there is a limited-time game bundle that's associated with this if you buy an RT x 2060 you will get a copy either of battlefield 5 or anthem which is not a bad add-on now physically this card is very similar to the founders edition of the 20 80 20 70 and 20 80 TI however there is not a supplemental power connector on this side they've actually moved that to the end over here it is an 8 pin on this one and that is probably due to the fact that under the hood this is a modified version of Turing tu 106 GPU because the same one that they use in the 2070 at $350 this card is aimed at gamers who are playing at high refresh rate 1080 or at 1440 not necessarily a 4k card at least according to Nvidia it has 6 gigs of memory and I'll get into more detailed stats in just a second and according to Nvidia this will run battlefield 5 at 1080 at Ultra settings with ray-tracing turned on and set to ultra and get you nearly 60 frames per second now because I'm about to leave for Vegas I've hacked some stats together for you guys this is the Nvidia reviewers guides and actually the past three of them looking at the 2060 on the left-hand side the middle is showing you the 2070 comparisons on the right side is the r-tx 2080 all of these stat columns are roughly the same so you can get a bit of a side-by-side comparison but the 2060 I think would compare to the 1070 if you're looking at what you're getting from last generation to this gen or you want to compare to the 2070 if you want to look at where you're getting for 350 bucks here versus the $500 price of the 2070 so first off you get 30 streaming multi processors versus 36 on the 2070 1920 CUDA cores which is the same as the gtx 1070 although it's not a direct comparison since you're talking about different generations of GPU technology 2,304 is how many cuda cores of 2070 has the 2080 has 2944 as for RT cores you get 30 of them with the 2060 as compared to 36 on the 2070 or 46 on the 2080 and then on this version you get 6 gigs of GDD are 6 memory running at 14 gigabits per second that gives you 300 36.1 gigabytes per second of total memory bandwidth which is less than the r-tx 2070 which has 448 but a significant bump over the 1070 which is 256 gigabytes per second I will point out that you're getting 6 gigs instead of 8 gigs so it is cut down there that didn't seem to hurt the r-tx 2060s performance when it came to invidious test results with all shit which I'll share with you in just a second but it does probably indicate why it's not recommended for 4k because you're dealing with less overall video memory rounding out the stats you also get 240 tensor cores a GPU boost clock of 1680 megahertz and a TDP of 160 Watts that's compared 250 watts for the 1070 175 watts for the 2070 now because this graphics card is launching in sort of a weird in-between time at the end of the holidays just before CES I know it's going out for some reviews however I'm not expecting there to be a lot of them and they're probably gonna vary depending on how thorough all of them are and depending on whether people were on vacation what I'm gonna do for you guys today is take this card plug it into this system right here which I have been using it has a ninety nine hundred K it is the top-of-the-line gaming system to give this card the best performance it can possibly get and I will run some tests I'm gonna run the same tests that I ran with this Horace 2080 ti that is not the fairest comparison to make here but if you want to see the difference or what you get with a 12 or $1400 graphics card versus this you can look back at those numbers and kind of get a side-by-side for what I'm gonna be showing you guys today so we're doing live testing and capturing on a separate computer so it's not affecting the gameplay performance here we're gonna run through those and at least give you guys an idea of if you're gonna spend 350 bucks on this graphics card what kind of performance you should expect now in the Nvidia reviewers guide they always list some performance results that they have gotten themselves and these are usually pretty accurate when it comes to the actual performance they can sometimes be selective on what games they choose to test and resolutions so take these numbers with a grain of salt and wait for some independent reviews but just to get us going here is what Nvidia says the r-tx 2060 can do so if you're comparing it to the GTX 970 right here which i think is gonna be your main point of comparison we can see at 1920 by 1080 it is it's faster according to Nvidia maybe between 10 and 40 percent faster depending on what your game you're playing except for it man 2 where it's a little bit slower of course if you compare it to the old 1060 and is faster across the board and then compared to the 1070 TI they say it's 1% faster as well but again I would wait for some more independent tests on this I think the 2060 versus 1070 is probably a good metric to go by though for 2560 by 1440 here we can also see that according to Nvidia it is faster than the 1070 by about 21% faster across the board and all their tests including hitman 2 so that's good too again they say it's still faster than 770 Ti but I've already shown you too many of in videos numbers let's move on alright guys I'm using driver version 4 17.5 4 and we're starting out with 4 tonight as I play you'll be able to see stats in the top the cpu stats as well as GPU temperature frequency and usage GPU memory usage GPU fan speed and of course fps in green and each game I'm going to start out playing at 2560 by 1440 and if necessary I will also try at 1080 currently using epic settings by the way and I'm only just gonna play for a minute or two at each setting before moving on all right so indoors we're getting in the 90s frames per second wise and went out of doors maybe it's dipping down into the may date mid to low 80s and being shot and I died we've switched to 1920 by 1080 now still at epic settings just to see if we can get some more frames for a second alright so initially we're in the hundred and 30s 130 range a boom box right up on this guy doesn't even see me hey I have no idea how the boom box works but ultimately we're getting 130 ish frames per second maybe dipping down into the one tenth of one 20s here at 1920 by 1080 as compared to 1440 where we were getting maybe 90 FPS max and then dipping down into the 80s and sometimes 70s moving on to some overwatch and our current settings are 2560 by 1440 we're using the ultra preset frame rate cap is off and render scale is set to 100% or initially getting a hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty frames per second here on watch point your bolt Gibralter your ball to Berger no I died all right so pretty solid the looks like in the 150 range on average maybe dipping down into the 120s on occasion I'm going to switch to 1080 now alright we switch down to 1080 now and we've got quite a few more frames so no worst case scenario we're dipping down into the low 200s to tens to teens but most of the time were above that just depends on how many of junk grass explosions are going on as well as other things no junk rat what it dick lb lost that's okay it's time to move on and welcome to battlefield 5 before we get swept up in the story we're at 2560 by 1440 we're at ultra settings DirectX 12 mode is on but currently DirectX ray tracing is off this is the same level I've been playing on so you should be able to jump over to the 20 atti video if you want to get a little bit of a side-by-side again no DirectX ray-tracing so we cannot see stuff reflected in the puddles unless it's on the screen as well currently getting in the 70s frames per second wise so not too shabby a 1440 here definitely a playable framerate if you're looking for about 60 frames per second on average let's try turn and retracing on though and now we're at 1440 with ray tracing turned on let's see if this is at all playable definitely has dips were in the low 40s it's a little choppy oh they're yelling the war war charge but I'm just distracted by the beautiful reflections and the pools here just so many reflections all right so it's slightly prettier but definitely not playable at this framerate in my opinion we got to have at least 60 and NVIDIA did tell us that if we switch to 1080 with ray tracing we should be able to get about 60 frames per second maybe a little less so I've dropped down to 1080 ray tracing is currently off and we're still in DirectX 12 mode of course it's like we're a hidden 100 FPS from time to time and then dip and down into the high 80s as well yeah run away run away coward coward Nazi so a pretty good experience here again 90 to 100 frames per seconds is what we're getting and that's what's ray tracing off we're told we can get 60 frames per second with ray tracing turned on though so let's do that so now we're at 1080 and ray tracing is on let's see how it goes almost 60 fps 55:57 I am unstoppable okay maybe I am stoppable 53 FPS stop running running away from me so I can see why Nvidia didn't say it's gonna hit 60 FPS we have one more option leaving everything else on ultra but we're gonna turn our raytrace reflections quality just too high let's see how it does it high it's the same alright ray-tracing medium OOP six think we have 60 hold on hold on let me reload then I can shoot you it's very realistic look at those 60 frames per second again these for at least for a moment alright so it's very tracing medium we're getting almost straight right about 60 FPS we can probably turn some other stuff down and get a playable framerate as well but let's move on to our final game time for some shadow of the Tomb Raider we are starting off at 2560 by 1440 and I immediately died forgot that's where we ended last time at sea tap see okay I was tapping see she was scrambling that's not fair at all I've got to hold it alright so in this area at least we're getting right about 60 frames per second not too terrible Oh jumped a little too far there I have just switched over to 1920 by 1080 again just to see what kind of frame rate increasing brings to us oh that was close okay alright that's a little scary jumping across there but it makes a little bit easier now that I'm getting 90 to 100 frames per second versus around 60 all right guys before this gets too much more tense I think I must call it I will say this is a fun game and interesting game I wish I could play a little bit more we got a call here though at 1080 we're getting a very solid 90 to 100 frames per second in shadow of the Tomb Raider so those are my game test guys hopefully that gives you a better idea of what to expect if you're thinking about forking over $350 for the new r-tx 2060 from Nvidia also I have more CES coverage coming at you very soon so don't forget to subscribe hit the thumbs up button leave me a comment in the comment section let me know what stuff you'd like me to hit up in Las Vegas I should be there by now I hope it's not too terribly cold it's definitely gonna be dry I should bring chapstick and maybe some lotion for my hands that'd be nice too but one more last final thank you to my sponsors for CES 2019 Coolermaster deep cool Corsair and enter max thanks again for watching guys we'll see you in the next video
