Nvidia unveils GeForce RTX 2060 for gaming laptops

Nvidia announced that it is taking its real-time ray-tracing graphics technology into gaming laptops today with the unveiling of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics processing units (GPUs). The chip can be used for laptops or desktops, depending on how a PC maker designs the system.

The new chips are more power-efficient versions of the GeForce RTX series that the company released last fall, optimized for mobile with Nvidia’s Max-Q technology, which optimizes your machine for games. The company showed off a bunch of demos of games like Battlefield V and Anthem running on a GeForce RTX 2060 version of the chips.
