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.
