What Owners Say

Owners love the big jump from older cards for smooth 1440p gaming. The usual gripe is the price felt steep for what's now a mid-range performer.

Pros
  • Great for 1080p high-refresh gaming
  • Handles ray tracing without breaking bank
  • Stays cool in most PC cases
  • Still plays modern games at high settings
Cons
  • No real overclocking headroom
  • Runs hot under sustained load
  • Outdated by modern standards

Verdict

Our verdict on the RTX 2060 Super

Nvidia's RTX 2060 Super is a mid-range Turing card that finally made ray tracing playable at 1440p without breaking the bank.

Get it if you want a solid 1440p card for older games or a cheap upgrade from a GTX 1060 or 1070. Skip it if you need modern features like DLSS 3 or ray tracing at playable frame rates.

Buy it if…

  • You do most of your gaming at 1080p and want high settings.
  • You need a good card for 1440p gaming on a budget.
  • You want a used GPU that still handles modern games well.
