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. [Nov '19GPUPro]
Performs the same as a RTX 3060 Ti on benchmark but that doesnt transfer to gaming, you can game at 1080p with max settings with nearly all the games i played (The exception being Cyberpunk 2077 with rtx ultra and dlss off) I have the max-p version so your version might differ but i think this card performs pretty well considering its a laptop card.
If you are planning on buying a ge66, be ready for the fan noise it wont be quiet.
Tests done with:
i7-10870h
32GB 3200mhz DDR4 ram
1Tb nvm-e m.2 ssd
RTX 3070 130W TDP
-80mv undervolt on cpu
iGPU off
1080p max settings
Max fan RPM no thermal throttling (fluctuated around 1575mhz-2100mhz Base Clock is 1620mhz. CPU was thermal throttling at first then i undervolted it and that solved the problem)
Benchmarks (Average FPS);
Witcher 3 : 90 fps
GTA 5: 130 fps
GTA Online: 70 fps (might be because of my internet connection)
Forza Horizon 4 (Steam): 100 fps
Yakuza Kiwami 2 (1440p): 70 fps
Minecraft RTX: 130 fps
Valorant: Fluctuates between 280-300 fps on different maps
Cyberpunk 2077: 50 fps (Its still very playable)
