Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB
The RTX 2060 is the best value mid-range offering, beating out Vega 56 and all the Pascal cards priced over $300. That won't make it an instant upgrade if you already own a fast enough graphics card. Say for example, the old GTX 980 Ti flagship was a $650 graphics card, so the fact that the RTX 2060 is faster should be impressive enough for us to take on this generation.
