Other EVGA RTX 2060 KOs carry TU104 chips instead of TU106

Right now where one of these EVX 2060 KO RTX It came into the hands of the analyst, able to confirm that its performance was slightly better than the standard RTX 2060, but in only a few non-gaming tests. By opening the graph, they discovered that the chip inside wasn't TU106 as it should be, but a TU104 the best and also the most great power.

Its chips are the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080

The TU104 chips included in these EVGA graphics are actually those chips you did not meet the usage standards on the GeForce RTX 2070 / RTX 2080. This would mean that they can have flawless CUDA clusters (the 2060 series requires only 62% of the CUDA cores of the TU104 chip), RT, Tensor, TMUs or ROPs.

To be fair, these TU104 chips replaced by the standard TU106 are chips that weren't meant to be RTX 2070/2080 but are big enough to be RTX 2060, so let's take advantage of them it reduces its features to ensure efficiency and they offer the same level of performance as the RTX 2060 fitted with TU106 chips.

However, even though in gaming the performance is the same, in some cases these TM104 chips are much better than the TM106, as in Blender.

But something doesn't end there, and these RTX 2060 KOs equipped with TM104 chips may have malfunctioning features that can be reproduced with a modified firmware. We will have to see if it is possible, but it is possible that these graphs are within reach change to RTX 2070.

Only others RTX 2060 KO have a TU104 chip

Now comes the bad news, and not every graphic in this series will have a TU104 chip. The manufacturer just used chips that didn't use high-quality graphics to take advantage of them, so they sell the graphics with the chip they had back then there is no way to know which chip to have the drawing until it is installed on the computer (or skip it and see it, of course).

It's not the first time that NVIDIA has done the same thing, and it's actually not a bad policy or anything like that, they just use the chips because it would be ridiculous to discard them when they were pretty low-level graphics. Already in the last generation we have been able to see the GTX 1060 with 104 chips, especially for the color manufacturers.

In any case, if you buy an EVGA RTX 2060 KO and have a TU104 chip, you'll benefit.
