“Build it, and they will come” must be NVIDIA’s thinking behind their latest consumer-focused GPU: the RTX 2080 Ti, which has been released alongside the RTX 2080. Following on from the Pascal architecture of the 1080 series, the 2080 series is based on a new Turing GPU architecture which features Tensor cores for AI (thereby potentially reducing GPU usage during machine learning workloads) and RT cores for ray tracing (rendering more realistic images).
Unfortunately, there aren’t (m)any games that make use of these capabilities so the $1200 price tag on the RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition is difficult to justify. The 2080 Ti also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. On paper the 2080 Ti has 4352 CUDA cores, a base/boost clock of 1350/1545 MHz, 11GB of GDRR6 memory and a memory bandwidth of 616GB/s. The upshot is that it has around a 30% faster effective speed than the 1080 Ti, which at 18 months old continues to offer comparable value for money and currently dominates the high-end gaming market. Professional users such as game developers or 4K gamers may find value in the 2080 Ti but for typical users (@1080p), prices need to drop substantially before the 2080 Ti has much chance of widespread adoption. [Sep ’18 GPUPro]
MORE DETAILS
The 6GB RTX 2060 is the latest addition to Nvidia’s RTX series of graphics card which are based on their Turing architecture.
Turing features AI enhanced graphics and real time ray tracing which is intended to eventually deliver a more realistic gaming experience. The 2060 has 1920 CUDA cores and 336GB/s of GDRR6 memory bandwidth. With a launch price of $350 for the Founders Edition, the 2060 offered the best value for money amongst the RTX range and somewhat redeemed Nvidia from their earlier RTX releases (2070, 2080, 2080 Ti) which were unrealistically priced. The RTX 2060 also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. The 2060 is capable of delivering 100+ EFps in almost all of today’s popular games at 1080p with maximum details. This should more than satisfy the majority of 1080p gamers including those who play at 144Hz. Rapidly diminishing returns lie beyond the 2060’s price point of $325 and they are not worth it for the majority of gamers that play at or below 1080p. For gamers that play at 1440p the next step up would be to the $400 2060S.

Best RTX 2060 Graphics Cards for 2021
Take a look at today’s market to find only the best RTX 2060s the market has to offer.
9The 0002 RTX 2060 was announced at the CES live conference back in January 2019, and since then it hasn’t disappointed thanks to its excellent performance rating and fantastic price.
The 2060 was released alongside the rest of the 20 series (2070, 2080) and is considered an equivalent, if not better, upgrade to the ever-popular 1070 TI. What sets the RTX line apart from the 10 series is its ability to efficiently perform real-time ray tracing, which in a nutshell is the best way to visualize light and shadow effects. The big issue with real-time ray tracing is how much processing power it actually takes to run real-time while still delivering decent FPS. However, Nvidia seems to have provided a product that is both effective and affordable.
In the next article, we’ll take a look at the best RTX 2060s available on the market today, how the 2060 compares to the RTX 2080, and which one is best for your needs. Below you’ll find a list of RTX 2060s to look out for and a brief description of what we thought:

The best RTX 2060: first glance
Best performance RTX 2060 960
ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 2060 6 GB OC
The editor rating is not thought.
when they know ASUS ROG will outperform our benchmarks when measuring the performance of these cards. Not only does this card have one of the highest clock speeds of any aftermarket 2060s, but it also features 3 fantastic looking RGB fans, the highest FPS in many games, and a very low DB output.
The ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2060 will offer the best out-of-the-box performance of any card on this list, making it a great buy for consumers who aren’t comfortable making extra changes to their GPU.
Fantastic 2060 with many functions
EVGA XC Game RTX 2060
Editor rating — 4.8/ 5
Ultra Gaming RTX 2060 — another shiny graphic processor from guys from EVGA, and you will not be surprised after seeing it rank high on our top recommendations list. It costs slightly less than the ASUS ROG and has very similar performance specs. However, having only 2 fans makes the ultra gaming a bit louder than the ASUS competition.
The Ultra Gaming series is known for its fantastic performance, lots of features and very attractive design without being too big.
EVGA is our best all-rounder, and for good reason, one of the highest clock speeds combined with EVGA’s superior cooling system has very low power consumption.
Great card at a good price
AMP Zotac RTX 2060 6GB
Editor Rating — 4.8 / 5
This is potentially Zotac’s highest performing version of the RTX 2060, boasting 1.8GHz processing power, a solid dual-fan setup, and an impressive price tag. Not considered the greatest brand, but certainly one of the most affordable.
Zotac is no stranger when it comes to making affordable hardware offerings, and their RTX 2060 might just be our favorite addition. It has a fantastically boosted clock speed and an extremely efficient fan setup that keeps the 2060 cool without making a lot of noise.
Best value for money
MSI RTX 2060 6GB Gaming Z
Editor Rating — 4.7 / 5 clock speed, and is essentially a Venus OC in a slightly larger package.
It costs $40 less than the top-spec ASUS ROG and also has lower performance.
MSI is one of the country’s favorite hardware manufacturers and it’s no wonder they consistently deliver quality products at affordable prices. This is the reason why you see MSI products on our website.
Their RTX 2060 is a fantastic, well-designed GPU that delivers quality and durability with a newly designed backplate and heatsink.
BEST MINI ITX 2060
Gigabyte RTX 2060 6GB Mini ITX OC
Editor Rating — 4.6 / 5
The 2060 Mini ITX aftermarket should be a contender and certainly ranks high on our list. It still packs a solid punch but is packaged in a much smaller case.
If mini is your thing, then look no further. While most of these cards will fit in a mini ITX form case, Gigabyte is obviously the best fit. It has a single heatsink fan which is efficient but quite noisy.
However, the impact power you get from such a small card is pretty impressive.
At this price, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better mini 2060.
How will these cards work?
One of the questions you’re probably asking yourself at this stage is how well these cards perform at both the gaming and production levels. First, keep in mind that these graphics cards will be able to handle any job you throw at them. When referring to work, you really need to focus on the CPU and RAM and make sure they’re up and running.
That being said, when you talk about games, the GPU will have a huge impact on overall performance. Nvidia boasts the potential for up to 6x performance improvements over previous generations, which we’ll take with some skepticism at this point, but if the claims are true, it’s a huge step forward in technological progress.
The great thing about these cards is their availability. Now I know that $400 is a lot of money to shell out for a single piece of hardware, but here we were talking about top-end high-end gaming rigs, and $400 is relatively affordable on a large scale.
Just compare that to something like the RTX 2080Ti, which retails for almost $1,300. You will be able to run most games at 1440p on high settings and achieve 60fps or more. Most of the maps above work similarly, but there are slight differences that we will discuss very quickly before reaching our final verdict.
RTX 2060 vs GTX 1070
If you’re not familiar with the 1070 TI, where have you been the last couple of years? At the time of release, it was Nvidia’s latest HD gaming GPU, VR and the number one GPU successor in market share, the GTX 1070. It featured 8GB of 256-bit GDDR5 memory, delivering a total memory bandwidth of 256GB/s and clock speed 1.68 GHz as standard. Geforce said the RTX 2060 is a direct competitor to the 1070 TI, but with the latest AI-enhanced graphics and real-time ray tracing, which we’ll talk about later.
So how does the new 20 series compare to the 1070 TI? Well, on paper they are very close in terms of performance, but overall the 1070 TI is only ahead of the RTX 2060.
The 1070 TI boasts slightly better 3D speed, texture detail, and complex splashes, while the 2060 has much faster multi-rendering and in overall best FPS in many games. All of this, combined with the fact that the RTX 2060 is 20% cheaper than the 1070, gives consumers a really tough decision when they’re wondering which GPU to go for. However, with the new real-time ray tracing coming to a greater extent in games, you will definitely prepare for the future by choosing Series 20.
Table keywords and terms
- Clock speed — Clock frequency refers to the internal clock speed of the GPU. The higher the clock speed, the better your performance.
- VRAM — VRAM refers to «video memory» or the memory available to the GPU. Discrete GPUs usually ship with their own
- VRAM — in the case of the 1080, that’s GDDR5X VRAM, which is slightly faster than the industry standard GDDR5. The more VRAM you have, the better your card can handle high resolutions and HD textures.
- Acceleration. Overclocking is raising the clock speed of a component to improve performance. This is usually done by the user, but all the cards we list here today boast «factory overclocking» that is performed by the manufacturer and is stable.
How We Choose
Because the RTX 2060 is such a powerful card, you really can’t go wrong when it comes to performance. However, as shown in the introduction, there are many companies making their own aftermarket 2060s, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, so we decided to do the easy job for you and start looking for the best RTX 2060 model.0005
During this search, we established the following rules to help us narrow down our options:
- The brand must be trustworthy and reputable.
- Reviews should indicate a low failure rate.
- Cards must be in one of the five categories below.
For the categories just mentioned, we have chosen the most significant criteria for distinguishing GPUs, as well as a category that is balanced between all the others.
We have listed them below:
- Highest performance — best performance when finished. This is pretty close to factory overclocking.
- Best all-rounder — The best all-rounder should do pretty much what it says on the tin. It should not excel in just one area, it should excel in every way and beat other competitors. The best station wagon will be powerful, cool, quiet and affordable.
- Best Budget — The cheapest we could find yet had decent build quality from a trusted manufacturer. If you want to buy pennies, but still get high-quality graphics, this is the choice for you.
- Best Balanced — A «balanced» choice that balances things like performance and cooling to be a good choice for those who want a well-balanced graphics card.
- The best small shape — size is not everything (but sometimes there can be a lack of size). This is for the smallest cards, making them most suitable for installation in Mini ITX and Micro ATX PC builds.
