Apparently this card is going to be released tomorrow on 12/7. Little information is available about the card, and less about the launch, but we can talk about it here as more information becomes available. As of now, the rumor is between 9am and 12pm eastern time, possibly available at brick and mortars like Microcenter, otherwise likely online for best buy, newegg, amazon, etc. Another possibility is EVGA.com.

What we know: It seems the 2060 12GB card will have the die from a 2060 super (2176 cuda cores), with the memory interface of the 2060 (192 bit bus). It will have a 185w TDP. There will be no Founder's Edition variant, similar to the way the 3060 12GB is AIB only.
 
Seems like a paper launch, but up to AIBs to roll out cards when they have them. Maybe they didn't have a lot of time before this project was green lit, by nvidia, who knows. With that said, these need to be less than the cost of a 3060 to make any sense whatsoever. Looking at you msi....

Well at least NV will be able to get rid of all that leftover turing stock, and now sell them for a profit instead of a tax writeoff.
 
They are not getting rid of some hidden stock pile unused 2060 chips. They are likely new and getting them made is easier because 1) It's an older process that's less in demand (12nm) and 2) They chose the 2060 over something like a 2070,2080 etc because it's a smaller die so they can produce more of them per wafer.
 
is this not just a techtuber / miner card coulda swore there was articles saying these are going direct to miners from factory.
 
Most gamers don't want that. Let the miners have em, and leave the 3xxx for us.
 
sadly they will not they will take anything and everything with 6gb of vram or more nothing is safe lol. and if the miners dont want em scalpers swoop in to fill the void. we can only hope the next gen will make the 3000 less desirable for both sides of this coin, Miners / Scalpers heres hoping we can build rigs again soon.
