Building a PC can be a difficult and expensive endeavor, especially when you start to look at the prices of graphics cards, which rapidly escalate into the hundreds. If you're looking to assemble a new gaming rig or upgrade an aging GPU, then don't discount the previous generation of Nvidia RTX cards, especially not the humble RTX  2060.

Prime Day deals are here, and we're not seeing any significant sales on Nvidia's current-gen RTX 3000 series of GPUs – but then again, the GPU market has only recently stabilized, so even seeing those cards at RRP is a shock. Various models of the RTX 2060, however, are still seeing some great sales, so snap one up if you're in need of a new GPU.

As we noted back in our original review of the RTX 2060, it's an enviable choice of GPU for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the option to play at 4K if you don't mind dropping your graphics settings and framerates a bit. DLSS technology now means that you can upscale many games for superior performance at higher resolutions, too.

This GPU runs relatively cool and doesn't chow down on your system power either, so you shouldn't need to replace your power supply in order to upgrade. All the RTX 2060 cards listed above are at their lowest prices ever this Prime Day, so we're very confident in recommending them even if they are now three years old.
