With that in mind, it's a worthy contender at this price level and for all of its various cutbacks, the KO model still holds up as a decent RTX 2060 overall - and it's obviously brilliant if you use Blender at all. The GPU makes contact with a copper plate and two copper heat pipes that move the heat away from the core. Review by Richard Leadbetter, Technology Editor, Digital Foundry The new EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 ™ KO enters the ring with a ONE-TWO PUNCH to any contender willing to step in. EVGA RTX 2060 KO review: is the entry-level RTX fast enough for ray traced gaming? In fact, the company doubled up the thermal pads on the three memory ICs. Feeding power to the board is a single 8-pin PCIe connector. EVGA recommends at least a 500W power supply.The RTX 2060 KO Ultra Gaming sends power to the GPU and memory via a 4+2-phase VRM. No other BIOS changes or performance enhancements were enabled. 06G-P4-2060-KR. EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER SC ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-3067-KR, 8GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans, Metal Backplate. The overall outlook for the RTX 2060's performance is looking good on more modern ray tracing titles, the new DLSS seems to have the frame-rate hit covered while delivering excellent quality but I do wonder whether the VRAM limitation might be a bigger issue further on down the road.Typically, the best GPU for you is always the most expensive one you can afford and nothing has changed there, but the RTX 2060 price cut now puts a lot of distance between this product and its Super sibling. We capture our frames per second (fps) and frame time information by running OCAT during our benchmarks. For clock and fan speed, temperature and power, we use GPU-Z's logging capabilities. This is all in addition to standard graphics power that's generally in excess of the RX 5600 XT - to the point that AMD had to deliver an 11th hour BIOS upgrade to bring its latest Navi release back into contention.These are all pertinent questions but perhaps just as important is the technical make-up of the KO version of the RTX 2060 itself. 2.0), GV-N2060WF2-6GD. We'll be resuming our use of the Powenetics-based system from previous reviews in the near future.The die is manufactured using TSMC’s 12nm FinFET Nvidia (FFN) process, placing 13.6 billion transistors in a 545 mm² area. Setting the game to the high global preset with DXR similarly set to high effectively gives you 1080p60 with some minor dips into the 50s in more challenging scenes. The EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO offers something for everybody.
I'd like to see 'DLSS 2.0' re-engineered back into key games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus and Battlefield 5 - and especially Control. With John Wick writer on board.Hands on with the new handling model and career mode.So is the RTX 2060 good enough for ray traced games? Handling the memory is a UPI uP1666Q controller. Given the size, this card should be able to fit in many small form factor (SFF) systems as well as larger chassis.

If RT had a rocky start, it's been harder still for DLSS, where results have historically varied from rather impressive to not so good.This gets you to 1080p60 in Battlefield 5 with medium DXR paired with ultra-level rasterisation features and high quality textures - good enough to get a good ray traced experience, but nothing like the performance of the standard non-RT edition of the game. Actual power use will vary between partner cards, due to higher clock speeds and where the power limit is set. Its benchmark suggests that the performance hit of RT is fairly light compared to Battlefield 5, but simply starting Lara's adventure from scratch demonstrates that this patently not the case.
