Verdict

The Galax GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a high-performance mid-range graphics card featuring the NVIDIA Turing architecture with 2,176 CUDA cores, 272 Tensor cores, and 34 RT cores. It is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit interface, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s and a boost clock speed of up to 1,650 MHz (extendable via its 1-Click OC feature). Main characteristics include a dual-slot cooling system with twin 90mm or 100mm fans, a metal backplate for structural rigidity, and connectivity options like HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4. Key pros are its excellent 1440p gaming performance, effective idle fan-stop technology for silent operation, and real-time ray tracing and DLSS support. Cons include slightly higher noise levels compared to some premium competitors and its lack of support for newer AI-driven features like frame generation found in the RTX 40 series.
