NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB

192-bit · 2,176 cores

The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB is a late addition to NVIDIA's Turing lineup, released on December 7, 2021 during a period of severe graphics card shortages. Compared with the original 6 GB RTX 2060 it doubles the memory and enables more of the TU106 GPU, bringing its shader count level with the RTX 2060 SUPER. NVIDIA sold it only through board partners, with no Founders Edition and no official launch price.

Peak AI TOPS: —
Notes: Turing 2nd-generation Tensor Cores accelerate FP16 (with FP16 or FP32 accumulate) plus INT8, INT4 and INT1 inference modes. BF16, TF32 and FP8 are not supported - BF16 and TF32 arrived with Ampere and FP8 with Ada/Hopper. FP64 runs on the CUDA cores at 1/32 the FP32 rate rather than on the Tensor Cores. NVIDIA published no AI TOPS rating for this card.
