The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB Founders Edition Review: Not Quite Mainstream

Last in our 2018 game suite is Total War: Warhammer II, built on the same engine of Total War: Warhammer. While there is a more recent Total War title, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, that game was built on the 32-bit version of the engine. The first TW: Warhammer was a DX11 game was to some extent developed with DX12 in mind, with preview builds showcasing DX12 performance. In Warhammer II, the matter, however, appears to have been dropped, with DX12 mode still marked as beta, but also featuring performance regression for both vendors.
It's unfortunate because Creative Assembly themselves have acknowledged the CPU-bound nature of their games, and with re-use of game engines as spin-offs, DX12 optimization would have continued to provide benefits, especially if the future of graphics in RTS-type games will lean towards low-level APIs.
There are now three benchmarks with varying graphics and processor loads; we've opted for the Battle benchmark, which appears to be the most graphics-bound.
NVIDIA hardware tend to do well here, and for all intents and purposes the RTX 2060 (6GB) FE is equivalent to the GTX 1070 Ti FE in performance. Which means that the RTX 2060 is essentially on the level of the RX Vega 64, an ideal position for it to be in.

Basically...the 2060 is the ultimate Ultra-Quality, 1080p, 60 fps card for 2019 @ $350.karakarga - Tuesday, January 15, 2019 - link
Do not buy 20xx serie actually. Why, because, PCI-express 4.0 is coming with AMD, soon with Intel probably. Wait for 21xx by nVidia instead. The scores are not really exciting, and nVidia must jump to 7~10nm which can provide more transistors with lower TDP. RTX 2060 card with 160 Watt consumption is really high!Gastec - Saturday, January 19, 2019 - link
I have played this waiting game for just 2 years. Now the prices have doubled. Moore's Law is dead. Long live Rock's law! :Pfavemogi - Monday, March 8, 2021 - link
Vic finished his pancakes first. I was still eating when he came around behind me. His hands slid down over my sweater and then slid up under. I still hadn't put on a bra and his icy hands folded against the skin of my boobs https://livesex.bar/ . I actually liked that and was unable to say no. I let him pull off everything up top. Eventually, I reached back between his legs to tug him around where I could see. The bulge in his pants was impressive and I opened them. His cock flopped out when I pulled down his jockeys. I watched it flop about as he slid out of his shoes and pants.
