Bought this about a month ago and have been happy with it since day one. I recently paired it with a gaming monitor at 144fps and this thing will stay at 144fps when gaming. I had to cap it off at 144fps because it wanted to go higher. Just make sure to use MSI afterburner to set fan curve. Mine was over heating after about an hour of gaming and it started to thermal throttle. After setting fan curve I can now play for hours on end. Using ray tracing will definitely kill your FPS. But non the less it will still put out decent FPS for gaming. I have this paired with an Intel i7 4790k OC at 4.5GHZ. I didn’t think they’d work together as good as they do. Overall an excellent product. Would definitely recommend buying for gaming and entry level ray tracing.

For my first build i went with this 2060 KO Ultra and its pretty decent for the performance it cranks out. At 1440p I was consistently getting 150-180 at ultra on games like Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends and fortnite. I would imagine you would crank out over 200 fps at 1080p on ultra or lower settings. for a small little card though this thing would get hot in my mini itx case. Although this did not affect performance, it was getting up to 84 degrees on full load which is not maxed out but mind you, I had a H1 and the thermals on that case are not the best to begin with. I would imagine in a mATX or ATX case, with proper cooling you would not have this problem.
I personally would not expect this to crank out actual ray tracing. I tried it once with Quake 2 RTX and it was sluggish at 25 fps. yes it traced rays but are you really going to
Overall this has been a great card for the amount i paid for it. personally id put this in a mATX case but it will fin in an ITX case

This GPU packs a punch for $330! Highly recommended for 1080p gaming. Don't let the 6GB RAM scare you. I use this for my iRacing/Sim Racing rig running at 3440x1440p at high settings and it runs flawlessly between 120-200 fps, depending on the track or race.

I recently built my first mostly all new Gaming PC with a $850 budget. I was going to get the EVGA RTX 2060 KO but at the time this one was just $10 more. Slight bump in base and turbo. Paired with a AMD Ryzen 3600 Shadow of the Tomb Raider bench marked 90+ FPS Max Setings + DLSS (Ray Tracing) 1080p no manual overclocking on a ASRock B450 MoBo. Ran every 1080p game I tried at Max/Ultra Settings 75+ FPS. Did Not Try any First Person Shooters but I feel it would do 100+ FPS on similar settings with most.

Get what you pay for and miss on good thermals

I got the MSI GamingX 1660 super and while later saw this bargain for a few more dollars. Of course i went for it thinking to return my 1660 super, a no brainer right? Not so unfortunately. Do your research, the cooling solution on this card is not design for 2060. Is a modified 1660 ti frame. The mod is additional thermal spacers, a pathetic solution. Result is loud fans to keep the card in the 72-75 deg C under load while all that heat dissipates all over the pc rig. I got spoiled by the cool and quiet MSI card, no way im keeping this loud hot mess. This card does perform better at 1440p, no doubt. Rawpower is there. But for me is not worth putting up with the bad thermals. Long term I assume the thermals will get worse. I attached a picture I found in a review around the internet.
PS: I went for the MSI 2060 Super Gaming X. Is better specs and does not go above 67 deg C during heavy load. That is a quality product.

Seems to run Doom eternal well enough and that is why I bought it. Good enough to bridge the gap until the next gen of cards drops without going homeless in the process. Just looking for something quick and dirty. I used these OC settings in MSI Afterburner and they seem stable enough.
Good luck

First Graphics I have ever bought and handles like a champ. If your starting your build this is a great Gpu to go with if you can't afford at the time a better one. But all in all I would buy this again and made me a evga fan.

Has a great aesthetic And decent price to performance but with it being one of the cheapest cards from the RTX 2000 line it has borderline cooling so you have no room for overclocking. In my opinion this card is for someone that is new to pc gaming and isn’t looking for overclocking but still good performance.

My first pc build saw a post on Reddit that this was a good 6gb graphics card.
Runs cool with valorant phasmophobia rocket league.
When using for warzone does get warm but nothing to serious.

used in my first build with a ryzen 5 3600. drivers installed and updated easily and it delivers 1080 gaming at 60 fps for assassins creed and 100+ on cod, valorant and other games. no issues after several multi hour sessions with no adjustments made to anything this has been a great experience.

I set my entire custom pc up, got the monitor, mouse, keyboard and I was too excited to get it working. plugged it in, black screen not even BIOS came up. Did so much troubleshooting, took apart the entire pc at least 4 times. I figured it was the graphics card after some research and I brought it back to bestbuy to get it tested. They said it was fine, brought it back home and realized after reading my motherboard manual that there are lights that help troubleshoot. It WAS the graphics card. I'm still waiting on a response from the geek squad team after 2 days

as most graphics cards, you simply pop it into a pcie slot, add power, and with the drivers you are good to go. this was the case here. i was moving up from a laptop with integrated graphics of 7 years ago, and i never knew games could look so good. it also came with a free copy of death standing. this card also being around $50 less than other rtx 2060s, with a free game valued about the same, this is probably the best bang for rtx 2060 out there. in other words, if you want a rtx 2060, for that ray tracing goodness, this is the one to get.(unless they change the price)

Great GPU and good value. EVGA cards are the best. A little louder than some when heavy gaming, but not terribly loud and usually have speakers louder or wearing headphones when gaming anyway. Can run fan at 0% for most desktop use so silent then. Nvidia broadcast noise reduction filters out background noise so no problem with mic picking up extra ambient noise.
Also has raytracing and dlss2 features for games that will support these, which really makes for a good value into the future. I'm considering the stepup program to a 30 series but not really sure I want to part with this or that I will see much difference without an fps counter.

It is a great GPU, but not the best in terms of cooling which is why I returned it; However, if you are on a very tight budget and if you want to get into the ray-tracing world, then I think this GPU is a good starting point in my opinion if you are not a hardcore gamer or an overclocker. For me, I purchased an ASUS RTX 2060 GAMING EVO (3 fans) which performs the same but it is very cool and quiet, and it is about 50$ more. I am not sure if they are still available, at newegg at least.
