Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing for 1080p high frame rate gaming, Also one of the best looking 2060's.

Excellent product, no complaints, everything about it is great

I bought this for my son. He thinks it’s great. No complaints.

So far so good! . . .. zzzz z z z z z z z z z z z zz

Helped my computer run better and play games I wanted

Pretty good but had to down volt to keep temps under control in certain games

Awesome great graphics improvement highly recommended

Somehow this GPU have a lots of issues for be in a vertically mounted in the case. And X570 MoBo.. even the RGB on the card responded to commands.

I think this product is suited for gamers. I returned this item as it did not keep up with 3D needs.

My computer set up: This MSI Gaming Z RTX 2060 6GB graphics card, Intel Core i5-7600K CPU at 4.8Ghz and 1.265V, 16GB DDR4-2666 RAM, on Windows 10 Home version 1809 (mandatory for RTX) using Nvidia Driver 419.35. Out of the box the card boosted to 1980 Mhz on the core clock according to GPU-Z during Metro Exodus gameplay, due to Nvidia's GPU Boost. It hovered around 1965 when it wasn't at 1980. The temperature reached a maximum of 67'C in my mini-ITX ThermalTake Core V1 case (accompanied by 6 other fans, mind you). Fans stay off until card reaches 60'C, and were mildly audible when they did spin. After implementing a custom fan profile in MSI Afterburner, core clock boosted to a max of 2010 Mhz and temp rose to max of 68'C. This was in a room with ambient temperature of 72'F. Overclocking the card by adding +100 Mhz to core and +800 Mhz to memory in Afterburner resulted in a stable 5.6% performance increase at 1465 Mhz core clock (shown as 1980 boost clock in AF) and 2055 Mhz memory clock (shown as 7801 Mhz in AF) with power slider at 105%. Normal power consumption during Metro Exodus was around 194W at stock settings, and around 204W when overclocked, peaking at 70'C. It has been able to handle nearly all games at ultra settings at a minimum average of 60 fps (most between 100-144) at 1080p with the exception of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which averaged 58 fps on ultra (with volumetric clouds on medium). Faster ram or CPU (7700k or 8th/9th gen 6/8-core CPU) may result in averages above 60 in this single game, or by overclocking (which did make the average 61 fps). Other games like RE7, Prey, Forza Horizon 4, STEEP, Shadow Warrior 2, Gears of War 4, Apex Legends, Vermintide 2, played above 60 fps at 1440p ultra settings some reaching closer to 100. Even Metro Exodus (which was redeemed with the purchase of this card) played at 1440p 60FPS using this card at ultra (DX11, RTX off, Tessellation off, Hairworks off, and DLSS off) with some lows into the 50s. The card also supports the new NVENC encoder in OBS and I tried the Max Quality preset for streaming which seemed to be equivalent to x264's Faster Quality preset, so x264 on Fast or better will still produce a higher quality stream. The advantage is reduced CPU usage with NVENC. Fortunately, streams had about 0.1% dropped frames/no latency at 720p 60fps or 1080p 60fps at 6000Mpbs, and the card's usage remained at about 80% utilization with 4.5/6GB of VRAM used during NVENC streaming. I opted to not use RTX or DLSS during Metro Exodus to avoid experiencing stutters or frame rate drops (it increases VRAM usage by 800Mb) but when activated in-game, sunlight was more defined, darker areas look harsher and fps dropped from 85 fps average on Ultra to 61 fps average with RTX. Game looks great normally, and even better with ReShade which I believe is what most people should use instead of RTX in this game. Overall, great design and cooling provides really good performance for triple A games at 1080p and 1440p. It would be comparable to GTX 1080 but with less VRAM. It is the best RTX 2060 model out of the bunch, and I personally believe it's a better value at $389.99-$399 than RTX 2070s at $529+, whether or not you overclock it.

Video card was amazing and everything I threw at it it ate proudly. I don’t game that much on it and games I do play is not video intensive either. After 1-year unfortunately the video card died on me for no reason. I mostly surf the World Wide Web, check my gmail, look for deals, and talk to my family and friends on my webcam. I don’t ask for me, just reliability is what I carve for. This officially has made me sad because now I don’t have a computer to talk to my family and friends. No video card, no mom and dad.

Looks great, installs easily, performs terribly. I believe the one I purchased was defective, so I returned it.

The cost to performance of this card was not good. I noticed no improvement in performance over the previous generation.

Not impressed could be better I over clocked it but still...

Failed right out of the box. Spent a bunch of money trying to figure out what was going on. Took it to repair shop and it tested bad. Returned it and got another on and it was bad as well. Bought Corsair and problems solved...

Card doesn't work. Best Buy doesn't answer my e-mails.

Solid that's all I can really say I purchased this doing my first build just to have an office computer & now that I decided to game with it I can't believe how great it performes

Great Gaming Graphics, Can Play many popular games on high setting!

Large gpu but well worth the pruce. Great for hi def gaming.
