While the RTX 2060 12GB had the ambition to mitigate the problems of breakage, it turned out that the card was sold out less than 24 hours after its launch …
the Nvidia RTX 2060 12Go was presented as a viable solution to compensate for the scarcity that is rampant, especially in mid-range graphics cards.
