Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 appears to be getting variants with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB

Gigabyte has registered trade names for 40 different RTX 2060 video cards. It can be concluded that there will be variants with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB vram. It also seems that there will be versions with gddr6 as well as versions with gddr5 or gddr5x.

Gigabyte has the names of the video cards registered with the Eurasian Economic Commission and it was noticed by Twitter user Komachi. From the code names it can be concluded that there will be RTX 2060 versions with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB. Nvidia released versions of the GTX 1060 with 3GB and 6GB, with the number of cudacores also differing. This may also be the case with the new RTX 2060 variants.

If there is a 4GB variant, Nvidia will have to adjust the width of the memory bus. Like the RTX 2070, it could be a 256-bit memory bus, or a much slower 128-bit bus. A smaller bus could be compensated by using fast memory. The 6GB and 3GB versions get a 192bit memory bus due to their configuration.

The list contains variants with GD and GC designation. The former indicates the presence of gddr6 memory, while GC stands for gddr5 or gddr5x. Gigabyte’s registrations include GD and GC variants of both the 3GB, 4GB and 6GB versions. So it seems that Nvidia will come with six configurations of the RTX 2060.

Nvidia is expected to present its GeForce RTX 2060 video card at the CES electronics fair early next year. The manufacturer will hold a press conference there on January 6. It is expected that RTX video cards for laptops will also be announced.

Early December already leaked an image of a Gigabyte RTX 2060 video card. According to VideoCardz, it will get 1920 cudacores. The previously released RTX 2070, 2080 and 2080 Ti have 2304, 2944 and 4352 cudacores respectively.
