Nvidia is currently working on its next-gen Ampere based graphics card, to fall under RTX 30 lineup. Well, it seems like that’s not the only thing the brand has in stores for us. Nvidia is reportedly working on a new GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. The new series might feature 8GB GDDR6 memory as opposed to the current 6GB memory in the current offering.
