NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB
Overview
The GeForce RTX 2060 was the cheapest card of its generation with tensor cores, and it remains the floor of the RTX line rather than a serious AI card: 6 GB on a 192-bit bus is enough for small vision models and quantised experiments and little else. Throughput is 6.45 TFLOPS of FP32 and roughly 25.8 TFLOPS of FP16 tensor accumulating in FP32, with 103 TOPS of INT8. Turing has no BF16, no TF32, no FP8 and no structured sparsity, so those figures are dense and comparable as printed. There is no NVLink on TU106. If you are looking at a 2060 for AI work, check whether the listing is this card or the later 12 GB version, which has a third more cores as well as twice the memory.

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.
Dense peak divided by accelerator TDP. Board power only: excludes host CPUs, networking, cooling and facility overhead. TDP for this part: 160 W.
