EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO Ultra Gaming, 6GB GDDR6, Dual Fans

This wasn't a dramatic upgrade, but I can tell the difference. I'm a bit of a gamer (FFXIV currently) and in game, things render more quickly and it all looks, well more vibrant. My monitor isn't capable of what the card can do so I'm not commenting much on high end performance since I can't currently utilize this to it's potential. This monitor is fantastic for someone that deals with images and video as the color is suburb but does not have top "gamer" speed capabilities. That said, I find the action to have improved over my 1650.My system is a i5 which delivers much better performance than expected since I disable and limit background programs and tasks severely. It doesn't have much that starts and runs when I start it up. Only the bare necessities.At $200 this card was a very good deal, and my little system is humming away nicely. But.Be sure you have the power supply cable you need that is made for your power supply brand. This one is only a year old and came with around a dozen different cables, all except this 8 prong PCIe the card needs. I got one and it didn't work. Because it was made for an EVGA power supply and would not work properly with a Corsair power supply. So I had to wait for an additional couple of days for the right one to arrive. So if it won't plug up and you need an additional cord, be sure it is the right one. The right one should slide into its connections easily once lined up. So far that's the only headache it caused.Doesn't run loud or seem to get hot, but again I don't try for top performance, as I don't feel any need for it. I don't play the most graphic intensive games and there are plenty out there. "Gamer" often implies one that plays games at 1600 FPS and need a 1080 Hz display at minimum. I don't play those. But overall graphics and video are very good, smoother and more vibrant than with the 1650. Things render much faster and nicer.

Upgraded from an OEM Rx580 and the difference is phenomenal. I couldn't reliably game at any settings under 1440p resolution so I bought this bad boy and paired it with a Ryzen 7 1700 processor, 32gb of ram and an NVME drive. Now I can game at 1440p resolutions with all settings maxed out and the frame rates almost always stay above 60fps. Playing Witcher 3 never looked so good, or operated smoothly. The 2060 is by far the best bang for your buck. This particular EVGA SC Ultra is overclocked right out of the box but has room to overclock more. With it's current over clock of 1755 it is performing about 1-2 fps better across the board than a standard GTX 1080. Considering the cost for a GTX 1080 currently the savings are huge! Your saving at least 150-300 bucks depending on the brand. Just buy one already.Update: It's been quite a few weeks since I bought and installed the SC Ultra duel fan RTX 2060 and it has performed solidly with no sign of overheating, coil whine, artifacts, crashes, or driver issues. I have played some of the most graphically intense games such as The Division 2, Witcher 3, and BFV at 2k with max graphics settings and never a hiccup. EVGA has built this particular card with grit. I've owned several Nvidia cards but EVGA always seems to impress.

Little late writing the review of this product. That being said, I've literally thrown everything at this card, including multiple kitchen sinks, and it stands worthy. very worthy.3.860x1080 resolution gaming on ultra settings of red dead redemption check1080p max settings in every game, no problems no sweat checkreshaded rtgi, mxao, into ultra settings on every game checkcan it handle rtgi/ssr/mxao reshade in skyrim special edition under vulkan with 4k lods and 4k textures/4k diffuse on everything in game, and still have 35 fps with 100gb in mods. checkrdr2 in vulkan with rtgi/mxao/ssr/hdr in 1080p of rdr2, checkmarvel avengers in vulkan, reshaded, make settings, 1080p. checknew vegas in vulkan with rtgi/mxao/ssr, with 4k lod, 2k occlusion maps and 4k textures/diffuse with 40 fps. checkdo I run everything in vulkan, with reshade, rtgi, max mxao, ssr, smaa/fxaa, reveil and maintain 40. yes (only 2 games Ive found that dont do depth buffer in vulkan is bioshock infinite and in power armor of fallout 4). even fallout 3 runs vulkan great.metro exodus, doom eternal, gta v. checkserious sam 4. oh yes,without reshade it still pulls 140 fps in nightmare settings on doom eternalhorizon zero dawn with reshade, yes. perfectassassins creed odyssey. perfectI was a little leery on spending so much on a graphics card. but within the 1st day or so of gaming that feeling has been wiped away.it's a very quiet card, it handles very stressful gaming under full load and doesnt give in to heat at allive never found a reason to overclock it, because it's not really needed.the only con is that it does not come with the separate power connector to the psu. I actually didnt get to use the card for the 1st week because I had to get a connector through the mail, which led to some frustration. that being said, it was worth the wait.another con is not many games actually support rtx hardware ray tracing, at least that I have, but reshade and pascal glitcher make up for that). ghost runner and metro exodus how ever are fabulous looking.sure, it's not a 2080, or even a 30 series card, but it still does a super job for gamingexcellent upgrade from my nvidia 960, or even over the series 10 nvidia cards
