NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB
Overview
The 12 GB GeForce RTX 2060 is the oddity of the Turing line: a quiet 2021 re-release with the RTX 2060 SUPER's compute silicon, all 2176 cores at 1650 MHz, but the original RTX 2060's narrower 192-bit bus and twice its memory. For AI work that combination is genuinely useful, because 12 GB is the capacity threshold where a 7B model fits in half precision and 6 GB or 8 GB Turing cards do not. Throughput is the SUPER's: roughly 28.7 TFLOPS of FP16 tensor accumulating in FP32 and 115 TOPS of INT8, all dense, since Turing has no structured sparsity. NVIDIA never issued a press release for the card, so listings often describe it loosely; the 12 GB figure is the thing to check.

Every figure here is dense. The vendor documents no structured (2:4) sparsity mode for this part, so there is no second number to quote.
Per watt divides the dense figure by the 185 W board power. Where only a sparse figure exists, the cell says so.
