What we like about Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost

  • Competitive price-to-performance ratio for budget-conscious builders
  • Equipped with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, providing better longevity and 1440p stability than the standard 2060
  • Solid 1080p performance, capable of running modern titles like Cyberpunk 2077 at high settings
  • Includes a DVI port, making it compatible with older legacy monitors
  • Good overclocking headroom, with some users reaching boost clocks up to 2GHz
  • Supports DLSS, which helps maintain playable frame rates in newer, more demanding games

What we don't like about Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost

  • High noise levels under load, with measurements reaching approximately 46 dB(A)
  • Basic dual-fan cooling design and cost-effective build quality
  • Struggles with native 1440p or 4K in modern AAA titles without significant setting adjustments or DLSS
  • First-generation ray tracing (RT) cores offer limited performance in modern ray-traced titles
  • Noticeable power consumption increase compared to non-Super models

Verdict

The Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost is a mid-range graphics card built on NVIDIA's 12nm Turing architecture, featuring the TU106 GPU with 2,176 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, and 272 Tensor cores. It is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit memory bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s and operating at a base clock of 1,470 MHz with a boost clock of 1,650 MHz. Main characteristics include its dual-fan cooling system, a compact 229mm dual-slot design, and support for real-time ray tracing and DLSS AI upscaling. Pros include strong 1080p and capable 1440p gaming performance, a significant VRAM and core count upgrade over the standard RTX 2060, and a relatively low suggested PSU requirement of 450W. Cons include its high noise levels under load, reaching approximately 46 dB(A), and a plastic-heavy build that limits cooling headroom for significant overclocking.
