It's been done countless times.
But the 1060 3GB and 6GB used the same chip, but different varients. Just like the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT.
Under very specific workloads, that the card was not intended for, sure. But people really interested in those workloads weren't likely buying RTX2060's anyway. Even GN mentions that really these new cards will likely get gobbled up now that it is known they have this massive performance advantage at this price point. But before that, people weren't seriously buying RTX2060's for workstation work.
No, because I understand how the world works. Time moves on, things improve. I don't get pissed because someone bought something newer and got something better than what I bought in the past.
I bought a 2019 Camry, I'm not pissed that people can now buy a 2020 Camry with better features for the same price or even cheaper. That's just how the world works.
So what you're saying is, assuming an uninformed consumer that just thinks they are buying a RTX2060, they are at best getting the performance they paid for an at worst are getting more than what they paid for and somehow this is "borderline dishonest" and a bad thing? Sorry, I don't see that logic.
