NVIDIA never announced this card and never gave it a product page. Its specification survives only in NVIDIA's own cross-generation comparison table, and its launch year rests on the Game Ready driver 497.09 release notes of 1 December 2021, which add support for "the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB". It is compute-identical to the RTX 2060 SUPER, same 2176 cores at the same 1650 MHz, but runs a 192-bit bus rather than 256-bit and is rated 185 W rather than 175 W. Memory bandwidth is not published for it and is deliberately left blank rather than derived.

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.

Higher and further left is better: more half-precision throughput for less power.
