The state of Nvidia Turing: is RTX worth it?

Is it time you lived the rest of your life ray traced? Or, is the high price still worth holding out for something better? The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super side by side (L to R). Dropping all the prices Just back in January, the cheapest way to get yourself into the RTX lineup was with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 , a graphics card with an aging amount of VRAM and a higher price tag than the GTX 1060 saw at launch. But, because it was so much more affordable than the next step up in the Turing ladder, the RTX 2070 , it made sense for most people that wanted a taste of ray tracing to jump on it.  ...
