What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.6 for now.

  • Features a '1-Click OC' utility for simple, automated performance boosting.
  • Compact physical design fits easily in standard-sized PC builds.
  • Increased 12GB VRAM offers better future-proofing and texture handling compared to original 6GB models.

What customers don't like about GALAX GeForce RTX 2060 Plus 1-Click OC 12GB

  • Lacks premium aesthetics such as RGB lighting or a full metal backplate on base 'Plus' variants.
  • The 192-bit memory bus can limit performance gains at higher resolutions like 1440p.
  • Performance improvement over the original 6GB model is often marginal (roughly 4% in many benchmarks).
  • Limited output options, typically featuring only one DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI port.
  • Can be noisy at higher fan speeds if a custom fan curve isn't applied.

Verdict

The Galax GeForce RTX 2060 Plus 1-Click OC 12GB is an enhanced mid-range graphics card built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture with 2,176 shading units and 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 192-bit bus. It features a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, which can be further increased to 1665 MHz via its signature 1-Click OC software. Its main pros include the doubled memory capacity over the original 6GB model, making it more capable for modern texture-heavy titles and 1440p gaming, along with a reliable dual 90mm fan cooling system and a compact dual-slot design. However, it lacks premium features like RGB lighting and a backplate, and its higher 184W TDP requires a sturdy power supply compared to more efficient newer generations.
