NVIDIA made a splash as the first major press conference of CES 2019. In addition to a new and mercifully cheap addition to its top-of-the-line RTX graphics card family, the company announced RTX-series chips for gaming laptops. Both will be here before the end of the month.

The RTX 2060 card is based on the same Turing GPU as the RTX 2070 and 2080 cards that debuted last year, but with a much more attainable price. At $350 for NVIDIA’s self-branded card (a bit higher or lower for tweaked designs from partner manufacturers like Gigabyte and EVGA), it’s less than half the price of the most expensive option, and this model will be making its way to the interior of many a gamer’s desktop PC. It should also be a popular option for pre-built models. Even more frugal cards, undoubtedly including 2050 and 2050ti variants, should come later this year.

NVIDIA says the RTX 2060 is more powerful than the GTX 1070ti (first released in November 2017) for most modern games. It comes with 6GB of GDDR6 RAM and can handle five gigarays of computation per second. It will be available starting on January 15th.
