With the disappearance of NVIDIA’s GTX series, the basic entry model is the RTX 2060 for desktop computers, a graphics card that costs more than 200 euros, while the GTX 16 is on the market for just over 100 euros.

According to what they say from China, one of the reasons why NVIDIA has made the decision to abandon this range is that its manufacturing price is higher than other higher models, so it did not make economic sense, since the profits per sale They were practically non-existent.
