#Nvidia geforce rtx 2060 super 8gb gddr6 1080p#
Really, though, the RTX 2060 was always intended to be more of a 1440p card than a 1080p machine, so this is what I'm going to focus on most for the rest of this review. Just like the regular RTX 2060, the RTX 2060 Super only needs a single 8-pin power connector. After all, the regular RTX 2060 was already capable of doing pretty much 60fps+ in everything from Shadow of the Tomb Raider to Total War: Three Kingdoms at 1080p, so unless you've got a 1920x1080 monitor with a high refresh rate, you're unlikely to get the benefit of all those extra frames. That's a pretty decent bump on paper, but you're only likely to see or feel the difference if you're playing at 1440p or above. At all three resolutions, that's like being able to bump up the quality settings another notch while still getting the same lovely, smooth performance as you did before. After putting it through my graphics benchmarking suite, I often found it gave me a boost of around 10fps at 1080p, and between 5-10fps at 1440p and 4K. Compared to its non-Super sibling, the RTX 2060 Super definitely offers quite the step up across every resolution going. PSU: OCZ ZX850W Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Founder's Edition specs:īut enough preamble. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until it launches on Sunday July 7th before I can tell you exactly how it compares to Nvidia's new Super card, but needless to say, it's definitely one to watch if what you're about to read below sounds like it might be right up your street. To get that kind of power for just £380 / $400? Now that's compelling, although I should note that AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 5700 Navi GPU is also set to sit somewhere between the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 for even less at $379. That might sound like a bit of naff deal on paper, but let's not forget that even the cheapest RTX 2070 still costs £470 / $480 at time of writing, with many going for a lot more, often ranging between £500-600 / $500-600.

You could almost say, in fact, that it's effectively an RTX 2070 in cheaper (and considerably chrome-ier) RTX 2060 Super clothing. It's also got more CUDA cores than the base RTX 2060 (2176 vs 1920), a faster base clock speed (1470MHz vs 1365MHz) and a larger 256-bit memory interface, allowing it to churn through a massive 448GB of data per second (again, just like the RTX 2070 et al) compared to its previous limit of 336GB/s. Instead of sticking with 6GB of GDDR6 memory like the regular RTX 2060, the Super version now packs 8GB of the stuff, putting it on a level playing field with both the regular RTX 2070 and all the rest of its other Super siblings.

#Nvidia geforce rtx 2060 super 8gb gddr6 upgrade#
Of all the RTX Super cards, the RTX 2060 Super definitely looks like the most enticing upgrade of the lot. The RTX 2060 Super is, of course, more expensive than its non-Super sibling as a result, coming in at £379 / $399 as opposed to £310 / $349, but if you've ever wanted to a card that offers RTX 2070 levels of power without breaking the £400 / $400 mark, this could be just the thing you've been looking for. Instead, the best way to think of them (probably) is like supercharged ray tracing machines, giving you a bit more oomph for all that realistic lighting and shadow gubbins they're capable of without necessarily having to resort to Nvidia's upscaling/performance-boosting DLSS tech to make up the shortfall. As you may have already seen in my Nvidia RTX Super primer article, Nvidia's new Super cards are sort of like their more traditional Ti variants, but also not. Just six months after the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 catapulted straight to the top of our best graphic card rankings, we've now got the RTX 2060 Super.
