Nvidia has announced a new, mid-range RTX 2060 GPU at CES 2019, rounding out the company’s existing RTX 2070, RTX 2080, and RTX 2080 Ti models with an entry-level option that will cost just $349. The new GPU was unveiled during the company’s CES 2019 keynote, where it was revealed that a Battlefield V ray-tracing demo wasn’t running on one of Nvidia’s existing cards, but on the new, budget option.

According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the RTX 2060 will offer higher performance than a 1070 Ti, and 60 percent faster than the GTX 1060, ushering in “next-gen gaming for tens of millions of gamers.” The company claims the card can run Battlefield V with ray-tracing at 60 frames per second at high settings, 1440p resolution, assuming you’ve got a fast Core i9 processor.
