Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER - Which one?

What do you prefer? Cheapest? Quietest? Coolest? Biggest factory OC?

One thing to note is how bad the Ventus cooler is. I have the MSI RTX 2080 Ti Ventus OC and the cooler is crap. I'd avoid that one.

[MIXER1982]

Actually I don't care about factory OC at all.
My first factor was a price, but now, more important are two factors: quiet/cool.

I'm a big fan of both Gigabytes Windforce and ASUS Strix, only Asus is always the most expensive. I've had a few Windforces now, the latest being a 1080Ti. I've always found them to be quiet and cool

Thx. I've been thinking about Gigabyte RTX. More likely I will order Windforce this week.

Warranty might be a consideration too I guess. Gigabyte have UK RMA which some people view as a positive when choosing a card.

This ship may have sailed now but at this price point I'd say the Radeon 5700 and 5700 xt are worth a look, though I'd avoid the reference card!

Radeon are extremely hot and consume lots of power when you compare them with Nvidia.

I have ordered Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER WINDFORCE OC.

There is no difference in the performance per watt of modern radeon cards and nvidia cards. I'd recommend reading some reviews before choosing a graphics card, here's one to start with:

As an nvidia fanboy, I will be getting a 5700 XT, which is about £100 over priced, but equally, it's about £100 cheaper than a 2070 Super with the same performance. But I'm waiting for a dual-slot aftermarket one, as yeah, thermals look naff on the AMD version.

[rob4001]

I have to admit that the 5700 looks a strong possibility for my next card it is competitive with 2060 and rtx is not good enough or well supported on 2060.

[Scrupulous]

I am sure the OP has already purchased a card by now but if I were to buy a 2060 SUPER it would HAVE to be the Aorus as I am literally obsessed with this card after seeing it. I am a sucker for pretty disco lights it seems.

if you go for a direct Nvidia card i think the silicon is Binned.
