This is just in, the much awaited Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU has finally surfaced. Just moments ago, a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 OC appeared online after it was leaked by videocardz.com. Customers have been waiting for the mid-tier of RTX line up ever since the launch but up till now only the top end stuff like the 2070,2080 and 2080TI was available.
The biggest deterring factor in buying the RTX cards was the extreme cost, with RTX 2080 and 2080TI exceeding the $1000 mark it is very difficult for many gamers to afford. Hopefully, with the arrival of the GeForce RTX 2060 OC the RTX line of GPUs will become accessible to more people.

RTX 2060 GPUs are expected to go on sale early next year. More brands are expected to come out with their own rendition of the RTX 2060 GPU such as EVGA, ASUS and Zotac.
