NVIDIA are rumoured to be relaunching GeForce RTX 2060 with 12GB memory in early 2022. It looks like shortages with the current Ampere cards is the reason for NVIDIA considering relaunching the GeForce RTX 2060.
Taken from VideoCardz… “According to our sources, NVIDIA is now planning an updated RTX 2060 GPU based on Turing architecture. A model known as PG161 would feature 12GB GDDR6 memory and the same TU106-300 GPU, except wth a KX postfix. Thus, the card would only see a change in doubled memory capacity compared to RTX 2060 6GB which launched in January 2019. NVIDIA has allegedly told board partners to anticipate this card by the end of this year, possibly in January, depending on how quickly they can be manufactured.
An introduction of RTX 2060 12GB paints a grim outlook for mid-range GPU availability in 2022. NVIDIA is clearly expecting Ampere shortages to continue, while already planning alternatives to customers who simply cannot wait.”
