MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB GDRR6 256-bit HDMI/DP G-SYNC Turing Architecture Overclocked Graphics Card

Built a new PC that I am using with a 65" TCL (6-series) 4k TV. Originally, I went with a RX 590 to hold me over until the next generation comes. Unfortunately, I had nothing but problems with it and decided to spend more money and get something I knew wouldn't struggle at 1440p and also be decent at 4k. The MSI RTX 2060 Super Gaming X has been excellent so far.The TV is a 60hz panel so I have no interest in super high FPS. If the game allows, I set the limit to 60hz. With only certain intensive settings turned down a notch, I can play almost everything I have (Rise of the Tomb Raider, GTA V, Witcher 3, Just Cause 4, World War z) at 60fps with the rare drop down to 40fps if I'm running it in 4k.I researched for the quietest of the RTX 2060 supers and this one was always on the lists. I can say that this card has been perfectly quiet for my setup, which puts the PC about 10ft away from where we sit. I can barely hear the fans when playing a graphically intensive game like Rise of the Tomb Raider but nothing obtrusive and not much louder than my case fans. When playing GTA V at 4k, I don't really hear them at all. It's sitting in a Corsair Carbide 275R case which helps keep things quiet. The case isn't great for cooling but temps have been great so far. Using two 140mm fans and two 120mm fans in the case and I don't think the GPU temps have even reached 70c yet.I highly recommend the card but if you can wait until prices go back down to normal levels, I'd wait. I think the price went up $50 since my purchase of it. If you can get it closer to $400, it's definitely worth it.

A great card for the money, I've trusted MSI and their cards for years and they didn't disappoint with this one.PROS--Great value for the money, performance vs price is right in the sweet spot.-Great thermals, under heavy load the card never exceeded 60C-Play all modern games at ultra on 1080p 140+ fps-RGB backlit and side lights, can be controlled with their software-Slightly shorter in length compared to other previous msi cards.-supports ray tracing-8Gb of VRAM is a massive upgrade from the 4gb I was using before.CONS--this card is thicc, it takes up 2 case slots but really goes to 2 and a half. If you have a small motherboard then you might have trouble using the other expansion slots. It covers my PCIe 2.0 slot completely.-more heavy than expected, this card is pretty heavy and creates an ever so slight sag when plugged and screwed in. This doesn't create a problem for me but its something to consider especially if you want to use a case that supports a sideways card connected with a ribbon.

I run well over a hundred fps on ultra (1080p) in all sorts of superb looking triple A games. Playing The Witcher 3 on ultra at 120+ fps is something I never thought I'd experience. Wow.Also the back plate is super sturdy and underrated. I'm very pleased to see that no bending is visible after an extended time of being in my PC.I would certainly recommend this GPU to anyone who would like to experience the full extent of modern graphics and maintain high fps numbers at 1080p. I would actually like to get a monitor with a higher resolution to see what it can do beyond 1080p, but for now, 1080p is all I can speak for.It handles VR immensely well. Perfect card for VR users.+1 point for pretty colors.

Great GPU, the RGB is an added feature that ups the cost but it blends nice with the setup. No coil whine even under load, temps stay cool typically around 65C and handles every game I’ve thrown at it with ease. At 1080p 144 hertz monitor FPS stays well above 60. Using with MSI afterburner really gives the card more room to perform to
