From a first look, it also seems EVGA didn't completely cheap out on the card like other board vendors just to reach that $499 price point. Today, we have for review the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Black, which is one of the few RTX 2070 cards that comes at the NVIDIA MSRP of $499. It can now better synchronize production of the larger TU104 to demand of the $8.

The philosophy behind the TU106 may have been to design a lean chip that is cheaper to build for the simple fact that it has a smaller die than the TU104, minimizing wastage while giving NVIDIA the ability to carve out lesser SKUs from it. This chip also gets the same 256-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, which is unchanged from the TU104. While those two have exactly half the muscle of the GP104 or GM204 respectively, the TU106 has half the muscle of the top-dog TU102 instead of the TU104. It's important to mention here, though, that the TU106 isn't exactly a successor of chips in the same way as the GP106 or GM206.

NVIDIA is basing the RTX 2070 on its third-largest "Turing" chip, the TU106, instead of the TU104. Predecessors of this card, such as the GTX 1070 and GTX 970, have historically been based on the same chips as the SKU just above them, such as the GTX 1080 and GTX 980. NVIDIA has also made certain interesting design choices for the RTX 2070. NVIDIA needs more RTX 2070 cards to be sold at $500 than consumers need RTX at that price because higher-end, previous-generation GPU models are readily available around this price, and people opting for those instead of the RTX 2070 cuts down on the captive audience size for RTX-varnished content, which is already not available on the console platform. All partners are required to have at least one RTX 2070 product priced at $500.

With the RTX 2070, however, NVIDIA reportedly cracked the whip on this practice.

With the lack of a reference-design card in the market at the baseline price, NVIDIA's board partners have often had a free hand at pricing even their cheapest custom-design offerings above the baseline.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition card is priced at $599. $500 is the baseline price for the RTX 2070. NVIDIA has had a less than stellar track record in making sure its products are actually available at the MSRP prices announced. The RTX 2070 is being offered to the vast bulk of gamers that play at 1440p resolution or lower. This is an important product for NVIDIA because even at a relatively steep price of $500, it is the most affordable one with real-time ray-tracing in games, or at least a semblance of it. Close to a month later, the company is launching its third-fastest card in the family, the GeForce RTX 2070.

Back in September, NVIDIA launched its GeForce RTX 20-series graphics card family with two high-end SKUs: the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti.
