Every now and then, in the world of graphics cards, there’s another model capable of achieving near-legendary status, enduring many good years on the shelves, first in its intended price range, and later, holding up as a alternative more focused on quality/price.
However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, these phenomena happened, curiously in a slightly different way. After all, with the chip crisis taking its toll between 2021 and 2022, some manufacturers were forced to bet on older models, but easier (and cheaper) to produce. As was the case with NVIDIA with the old RTX 2060 and GTX 1660.
Well, with the end of the chip crisis, and a return to normality, these boards that have appeared with a new lease of life in recent months, will once again return to the place they deserve… Oblivion.
NVIDIA RTX 2060 and GTX 1660 are officially ‘dead’
Therefore, it seems that we are finally going to witness the disappearance of graphics card shelves like the RTX 2060, RTX 2060 Super, GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1660, among other variants very similar to these. However, everything indicates that the GTX 1650 and GTX 1630 will continue to be available, as super wallet-friendly alternatives.
This is a case to say hallelujah, as the most recent of these graphics cards has already been on the market for 3 years. By the way, in the case of the RTX 2060, we are talking about a graphics card that has been doing its thing on the market for almost 4 years. (Even so, it was upgraded less than a year ago, when it received a 12GB version).
Because now?
Well, we are witnessing a renewal of ranges, and of course, we have Intel betting on the ‘budget’ market with more powerful alternatives, and at similar prices. Therefore, there are no longer any reasons for NVIDIA to continue to bet on these obsolete models.
However, this also means that within a very short time, we’re going to see other cards drop into these RTX and GTX price ranges! More specifically the latest RTX 3060.
