VideoCardz scores yet another exclusive, this time the site publishes the first photos of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition. This card will reportedly be announced at CES on January 7th and should be available in retail stores on January 15th.

The GeForce RTX 2060 FE uses the same cooler as the RTX 2070 FE, it has a single 8-pin PCIe power connector and feature a full-cover backplate. The photos reveal two DisplayPorts, one HDMI, one DVI, and one USB Type-C connector.

The GeForce RTX 2060 is believed to feature the TU106-300 GPU, which is a cut-down version of the chip used by the GeForce RTX 2070. It has 1920 CUDA cores, 30 RT cores, 240 Tensor cores, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 192-bit memory bus with 6GB GDDR6 memory clocked at 14Gbps. With rumored clockspeeds of 1365MHz base and 1680MHz Boost, this should result in roughly 6.5 teraflops of computing power.
