NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 and 2060 to arrive by November

WCCF Tech claims they heard from sources at NVIDIA's add-in board (AIB) partners that the GeForce RTX 2070 and the (GTX/RTX?) 2060 models are expected to hit retail shelves by late October or early November.

The GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti on the other hand will be revealed this evening and will be seeded to the retail channel immediately.

At the moment, it's unclear whether the 2060 will use GTX or RTX naming. It could be GTX as NVIDIA wants to push its higher-end models for ray-tracing.

Interestingly, my source was still hesitant to use the RTX handle for the 2060 card – take that to mean what you will. But my interpretation of that is that the company has an interesting dilemma to face with the 2060. I had heard before that the company wants to segregate the XX60 offering from the last line of XX60 series but at the same time, its RT engine might not be powerful enough to take advantage of whatever VFX libraries the company reveals tomorrow. Or they could simply disable the RT engine and roll out a plain ol GTX 2060. This is a particularly sensible option and the most feasible one in my opinion.
