Rumors have been flying around for awhile now that Nvidia would be launching an RTX 2060 GPU with 12GB of memory, and today Nvidia confirmed it does exist.
The GPU is a “Turing refresh,” and will be a slightly upgraded version of the card that launched in January 2019.
Instead of just launching the GPU via press release or with hardware-sampled reviews, it simply noted in its latest GeForce graphics driver 497.09 release notes that the RTX 2060 12GB is supported by the new driver.
That’s a third lower than an RTX 3060’s hash rate, so it’s possible miners just might pass this one by.
