MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING X Graphics Card '8GB GDDR6, 1695Hz, RGB Mystic Light, 3x DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual Fan Cooling System'

I bought this RTX 2060 super on Black Friday 2019 for about £394.99 as part of a new PC build (1st time building it myself). I will post details of my build and a few game benchmark summaries at the endIt was on the more expensive end of RTX 2060 super cards at the time but I feel I have paid the extra for better build quality, slightly better performance & longer use time before needing to upgrade (originally considered GTX 1660 TI but that would probably only have been good for 2-3 years whereas I am expecting this to last me almost 5 years and allocated my budget accordingly)In terms of building and ease of use it was extremely easy to work with and fitted perfectly into the motherboard and case without difficulty. Geforce experience software got the drivers all sorted very easily like they always do as well.It has a lovely back plate and the 2 fans on it keep this especially cool when under load. Even the most stressful benchmark programs this card never went over 70 Celsius. On games like the witcher 3 on ultra settings it never goes above about 62 degrees which is amazing and most feedback I've seen online in the research I did prior was that 80-85 Celsius is the temperature where you start to see performance drops so its well in the greenRegarding FPS I would clarify I am a 1080p gamer with an 144hz monitor so my priority was a great 1080p GPU where I can play most games above 60fps and some at that 144fps mark. The RTX 2060 super really delivered in this category too I can play even the most demanding PC games on Ultra settings and get closer to 100fps on most games I've tested. This card is perfect for 1080p and will hopefully last me 4-5 years before needing to upgrade.My 144hz monitor has AMD freesync and the new nvidia update this year to allow you to use G-sync functionality on Freesync worked perfectly on this GPU on all the games where I can reach or exceed 144fpsAll in all I am very impressed with this graphics card i feel the additional expense was worth it. The rgb in the card was a nice feature it's not over the top and let's you mainly see the MSI logo a bit more if you want to make your pc look nice/show it off. Only reason I have put value for money at 4/5 star is simply that other rtx 2060 super cards were about £50 cheaper on black friday but they do not look anywhere near as good as this cardFull PC specification (plug and play 0 overclocking):Ryzen 7 2700 (non X variant)MSI Gaming X RTX 2060 Super16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz RAM whiteMSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX motherboardSabrent 256GB NVMe M.2 SSDADATA ultimate SU800 512GB SATA SSDCorsair RM850x 850w Gold power supplyCorsair Carbide SPEC-06 white rgb case2 120mm stock fans from Corsair SPEC-06 case as intake3 Corsair iCue SP120 120mm RGB fans as exhaust (1 back 2 top)Windows 10 64 bitGames tested on highest/Ultra settings @1080pWitcher 3 100 FPSGTA 5 around 88-100 FPSDestiny 2 130 FPSLeague of legends 300+ FPSBattlefield 5 90 FPSStar Wars Battlefront II 90-100 FPS

You know what, it’s only a 2060 super but it does it’s best for you, some games I play on highest settings and it does start to get hot and noisy but the noise level isn’t that bad, but the warmth of the card can be felt through the glass side panelling....But as I said if you’re looking for a simple card that can load almost every hame with decent frames on decent settings, with easy to install drivers then this isn’t a bad shout ( although I will get a 2070S or 2080 eventually)

I upgraded my graphics card from the GTX 970 Strix. The difference in games is amazing I can run games like GTA V maxed out with no stuttering or FPS drops what so ever!But my main reason for upgrading was for VR and works perfectly on all VR games I have tried so far also with graphic settings to the max! You also get 2 free games with this card.Easy to install if you know what you are doing and you can download MSI Dragon Center that will give you options to monitor how well graphics card is holding up to game you throw at it. MSI Dragon Center also comes with Mystic Light which allows you to change the RGB lights to selected profiles which is a nice touch.Just make sure your power supply unit is 550w or over for the graphics card to run without any issues (recommended)My PC Specs:Intel i7 6700kRAM Corsair vengeance 16GB@ 3200MHzGPU MSI RTX 2060 SuperWindows 10 x64Oculus Rift S.

What a beautiful card this is, stays cool with anything I throw at it and looks great. Definitely worth the tad extra for the Msi model as in the end we wanna look beautiful aswel as powerful.

Bought this card to replace my dead R9 380 and to finally upgrade my computer to be VR ready. The difference between my old card and this one is immense, can easily max out games and get very solid FPS on games I previously struggled a lot with, some examples are Rust, Mordhau, Forza Horizon 4. As for VR, it works really well on all the games I've tried so far using the Oculus Rift S, since the Rift S is only 80hz it is easier to hit that number without a more powerful card, making it a great combination.Other PC specs:CPU - Ryzen 5 3600Mobo - Gigabyte B450M GAMING Micro ATX AM4 MotherboardRAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB DDR4-3000PSU - EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Does what I wanted and more - allowed me to go from console gaming to pc in a heartbeat, let alone the possibility of gaming at 240fps++ (most games run at around 450-500)

No issues. Runs like a beast. The idle temperature (52) is a bit high though? I don't think it's worth the high price but I bought it to replace an old faulty Asus GPU.

It a brilliant bit of tech and great for value
