Community Feedback
What Owners Say
People say it's a great 1080p card that handles modern games fine. The usual gripe is the limited 6GB VRAM is already feeling tight in newer titles.
Pros
- Great for 1080p ray tracing
- Runs cool even under load
- Handles modern games at high
- Sips power for its speed
Cons
- VRAM size is getting tight already
- Power draw is higher than newer cards
- No real ray tracing at playable framerates

Verdict
Our verdict on the RTX 2060
The RTX 2060 is a mid-range Turing card that brought ray tracing to the masses but aged poorly on VRAM.
Get it if you need a decent 1080p card for older games on a strict budget. Skip it if you want to play modern titles or anything above 1080p, as it's showing its age.
Buy it if…
- You want to play modern games at high settings in 1080p.
- You need a budget-friendly card for solid ray tracing performance.
- You are upgrading from a much older card like a GTX 970.
