Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gaming X

  • Excellent 1080p and capable 1440p gaming performance, nearly matching the original RTX 2070
  • Highly effective Twin Frozr 7 cooling system that maintains low temperatures under load
  • Zero Frozr technology provides silent operation by stopping fans during idle or light use
  • Premium build quality featuring a stylish brushed metal backplate for added rigidity
  • Upgraded 8GB VRAM (compared to 6GB on the non-Super) offers better future-proofing for modern titles
  • Customizable RGB lighting zones with MSI Mystic Light support

What we don't like about MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gaming X

  • Priced at a premium compared to base MSRP models and some competing AMD Radeon cards
  • Relatively large physical footprint requiring two slots and significant clearance
  • Lacks a USB-C VirtualLink port which was present on the Founders Edition
  • Performance gains over the standard RTX 2060 may not justify the cost for budget-focused users
  • Ray tracing performance can struggle at higher resolutions without using DLSS

Verdict

The MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gaming X is a high-performance custom graphics card featuring the NVIDIA Turing architecture with 2,176 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, and 272 Tensor cores. It comes factory-overclocked with a boost clock of 1,695 MHz and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448 GB/s bandwidth. Key strengths include its premium Twin Frozr 7 thermal design with dual Torx 3.0 fans, a quiet semi-passive Zero Frozr mode that stops fans below 60°C, and customizable Mystic Light RGB. While it offers excellent 1080p and 1440p gaming performance, notable downsides include its significant physical width (52mm), occupying nearly three slots, and its higher price point compared to reference models or competing mid-tier cards.
