In February of 2021, Nvidia committed to reissuing some of its older graphics cards, including the RTX 2060 and the GTX Ti, to give users a couple of low-cost options that won't be needed during the chip shortage. The company is doubling the memory of the standard configuration of the RTX 2060 by releasing a new variant that has 12GB of video RAM.

The models should be available on December 7th. The updated graphics card specifications are available here. The slightly higher base clock speed and slightly increased CUDA cores are shown. It looks similar to the RTX 2060 Super.

The price of the 12GB version of the RTX 2060 is expected to reflect the premium version of the RTX 2060 6GB. The 6GB of the RTX 2060 was sold for $349 in 2019. It was also shared that the OEMs will be making their own custom versions of the 12GB RTX 2060. We will update this post once we hear back about pricing.

This card is great for people who have felt the burn of the graphics cards not going their way and who don't want to pay a lot of money for a card that shouldn't cost that much. Most games will run well on medium graphical settings with the power of the RTX 2060, even though it won't be great for running games with ray-traced graphics.

The PC market has felt the sting of the chip shortage caused by the global Pandemic. Graphics cards and consoles are still in high demand despite being new to the market. It has become difficult to buy what you want, and to do so at a normal price, because of the high cost of the RTX 30-series. Many retailers are completely out of stock and will likely beat you to it, because most of the people who want to flip the products for a profit are bots and eagle-eyed shoppers.

I am not sure if releasing one entry-level graphics card can help reverse the tide of the price-surged secondary market. I am happy that it is trying.
