MC GAMER UWU dont worry about it, I upgraded to a 1660ti from a 750ti for my little cousins birthday present and I got great performance from it before I gave it to him. The 2060 will be a great card for you provided your not running ultra settings on a 4K 144hz monitor
Namekian Computer Corp. yea I’ve been working and saving up to build my pc for a while now because my parents couldn’t afford a decent pc and I’m very happy with my Ryzen 7 3800x and RTX 2060 both OC. I’m very grateful for what I have :)
Namekian Computer Corp. Aye thank you and you too. I understand how it is working for what you want and when your parents couldn’t afford to buy you something until awhile.
@@justanon956 Anyone who can afford and doesn't play competitive online games as much? I mean if that applies and you have a 2080 ti, why the hell not.
Linus in 2018 knew that hardware wasn't totally efficient and ready for 4k. However in 2019 the new hardware can run 4k well, so now it is obviously in need of becoming standard. :)
@@doriangray4565 if you're talking FPS games like overwatch, CSGO, apex, or fortnite it can at high setting. For AAA games tho you're looking at ultra settings 60fps.
@@chanskii2505 If you think of playing every game hell at 144hz. It's useless. There's not difference in 60 and higher. It's just that you can see enemy before next fr that's why people only use in compi games where it is needed. For normal game like gta v, assassin's creed, 75 is enough
Well in benchmarks the 2060 is even better than a 1070ti the 2070 is better than the regular 1080 the regular 2080 performs kinda equally to the 1080ti and 2080ti stomps all the other ones.
My Card (MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 Super which is $400) Runs basically all the games i could ever want Just fucking Great. I don't get the whole "WeLL iT HAs To bE 4k OR its GarBAGE"
@@SpooderOfficial yeah I have a 2060 and its overkill for me tbh. I just wanna play minecraft and other games at 144hz and it gets the job done well :)
i'm used to playing in 1080p all my life but had to go down to 720p in Sekiro because my 2013 desktop is outdated. I'm satisfied if i can play atleast 60fps
Stephen I hope you see this comment. I’ve been struggling to decide between the 2060 and the 1660ti. What made you go with the 2060? I just want to know your opinion. Down below are my rig specs: GTX 1060 3GB Intel core 3.3 GHz i5-3550 Quad core CPU 8GB of DDR3 RAM 500GB SSD It’s an ATX build. I plan on upgrading to the RTX 2060 and going to an i7-3770 CPU in the near future. I’m hoping this will be a good upgrade for me.
@VJ Lopena yup played cyberpunk 80+ fps and RE Village no problem, although in Village there were frame drops for a few seconds on boss fights but other than that it runs AAA games like a beast.
Man, the decent videos you guys make are really taken down a notch by the garbage clickbait titles you use. The title does not describe IN ANY WAY what the video is about. It makes it really difficult to actually find the information you're looking for.
Don't be put off by this review.. I use this GPU on a 1440p set up and it runs more than for most games, that too above 60FPS. Not many people game at 4k.
Yeah it runs everything cranked full hd above 75hz but u get some big framedrops very sometimes i never played on qhd or 4k but it seem to be very awsome so im thinking of getting a full hd 144hz monitor or a 75hz qhd monitor what do u guys prefere.
I bought the 2060, without watching this video first, to replace a 1060. It's a solid performer, and beats the 1070 in performance. It runs alot of games in 4k at 60fps which is what I was shooting for, and alot of games in 1440p at 100+ frames. I like it.
@@JohnisBadYT I've been stuck on a 390x for a while, snagged up a vega 56 for an absolute deal! I would love to see results as opposed to my undervolted vega card, who knows, I might sell it and put it towards a 2060/2070 lol
@@ltsjoke5443 Got my RTX 2060 installed now, amazing upgrade from the GTX 970! Ultra settings and RTX on Ultra 60FPS @ 1080p. Every game is able to be maxed out @ 1080p even PUBG!
Walmart sells a prebuilt for 1k and has these in them with a ryzen 7 16 gb of ram and a 1tb hd and a 240 ssd stupid it’s better to buy prebuilt vs dealing with scalpers or covid prices
@@Jackt750 no one said you were buying one I was just saying it’s crazy how for almost the price of the card is by itself you can have The Whole computer and how stupid scalpers are
I bought a 2060 Super for $350 last year in March. I then regretted it at the 30 series launch but was content again when the scalper prices went up to damn near $1k for the same card. I'm playing 1440p max @60 in most games I play and am more than happy with that.
For the visual fidelity, I'd turn it on. My monitor's just 60hz so if I had an RTX card, I'd turn it on but only if it stayed at a framerate higher than 60 fps almost all the time. If it's not a competitive game, I'd turn it on regardless.
Well, that is sort of true now as with DLSS the FPS drop doesn't have such a high drop from what Nvidia showed at the CES press conference. With BFV it was able to have RTX On and with DLSS has the same or very close to the same fps as with RTX Off.
@@SM-ev6if Isn't the graphics chip of the PS4 an AMD HD 7970? That's a pretty amazing chip tbh. Well at least it was 6 years ago. I mean like really amazing, no sarcasm.
You would think that with how many people work at Linus Tech Tips they would be able to catch something like this. Hmmmm, someone isn't doing their job.
From my homepage I had no idea what this video was about and skipped it twice earlier today, I clicked this accidentally when trying to go to this channel's main page. If it said "RTX 2060 Review" in the title I would've clicked immediately. Just my 2 cents regarding undescriptive titles.
@@alexcondie6166 You're so right. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice/care about this. Their channel is great and very entertaining, but their titles are absolutely abysmal.

Its a mid-range graphics card and Linus is giving it flak because you can't get 144 FPS (on a 144 Hz monitor) at 4K resolution with ray tracing on? That's exactly what the high-end cards are for! The RTX 2060 is for people who want to play competitive games at 144 FPS at 1440p (so League of Legends, Overwatch and CSGO), while also being able to play with ray tracing at 60 FPS at 1080p for newer games. Games like Battlefield V and the like are nowhere near as competitive as LoL, Overwatch and CSGO because then players with £2000+ gaming rigs would have a significant advance over everyone else. So the RTX 2060 is perfect for most competitive players and even provides future proofing in case you want to play a ray tracing game for relxation. If you just want to play competitive (read: lower graphical requirement) games at 144 FPS at 1440p and can skip the ray tracing, then just get a GTX 1660-Ti. The RTX 2080-Ti is for 144 FPS at 4K with ray tracing on. Trying to foist that onto a mid range card (that is 4 times cheaper than the RTX 2080-Ti) is just ridiculous.
Thanks a lot for all these info. For a non gamer who is building his first PC, could you explain what "competitive games" means please? Does it mean a game with a platform where people can compete against each other?
@@bowenliu807 I generally regard "Competitive games" as games with major eSports scenes. The vast majority of PC games these days are online-based and have some form of multiplayer, where people can compete against each other, however a select few of these games are so successful that the best players in those games have made it their entire career to perform as athletes in them.
Bowen Liu Competitive games are games that should and are played on the low preset at 4:3 resolutions to get the best fps possible. We dont care about graphics on CSGO what we do care about is the fps. I would much rather 300-400 fps at low 1024x768 than have 150 at high 1080p. Its
@@surge9310 That's... not entirely true. In most eSports games you need visual clarity and maximum FPS. You will not have anywhere near the visual clarity needed to play well with a 4:3 screen and 1024x768 resolution. 60 FPS at 1920x1080p is optimum.
@@AvalancheZ250 ...... What? Have you seen what resolution Profesional people use especially for CSGO? 60 fps at 1920x1080 is straight garbage for Esports titles. dev1ce uses 1024x768, n0thing uses 1280x960, s1mple plays with 1280x960. 4:3 gives the most fps and the head appears slighly bigger. on-winning.com/cs-go-config-setup-settings-monitor-mice-sensitivity-pros/ Here you go, this is the site where you can check PRO's sens, res, and all of that stuff. Some of them have changed their res, sens but 90% of them still play on 4:3. And maybe you misunderstood me I was talking about 4:3 streched onto 16:9 monitor.
I gamed on a incapable laptop for the longest time, but it looked like crap from beginning to end, so idk when 720p actually looks like “heaven” I would describe 4K as heaven.
Love your videos, team Linus! - but I think you've overlooked the fact that lots of people have been looking for a decent gpu upgrade that comes at an appropriate price for a long, long time, now, and the 2060 (possibly the 1160 to an even greater extent) fits that description like no other card in the market, imho. I'd be willing to bet that the mining boom and its aftermath resulted in lots of people still sitting on old hardware, unwilling to splurge for barely noticeable upgrades - it can't be just me. There's loads of people who are just not in the market for the ridiculously overprized top-end segment of hardware. Anyway, cheers - I love your channel! :)
Fall 2021 and this card is still more than adequate for anything I throw at it. I don’t game in 4K, but I can run basically everything at or near 60FPS on high/max settings. Setting aside the current shortages jacking the price up, the price to power ratio of this card was drastically undersold by this review.
@@HumanPerson_final Now that the GPU market has crashed you can get these cards for under $300 and they still work amazing! I game at 1080p and I can max out any game I play (As long as I have enough memory).
This video is obsolete and way outdated. It should just be deleted. In 2023 the 2060 is actually one of the best cards to get for the price. The 2060 is basically now how the 1060 used to be. It has replaced it.
Who even cares about RTX and DLSS. All i need is >144 frames at any settings while in combat to land those headshots perfectly. Ask me if I care about fancy reflections or shadows while being fully concentrated. 2060 will get the job done at both 1080p and 1440p. End of story
This is the kind of stuff I need to know. I'm still rocking a 980, so you think this will be a nice big step up for me? I just can't justify spending on a 2080 and the 2070 is only about 11-16% faster than the 2060 on paper but is £200 more expensive. Also how will it handle VR in comparison to the 980?
its actually not that random, if you listen it was an afterthought due to the fact that they forgot to mention the skews. They felt it was more important to mention it than go for perfection. They forgot, and last minute they fixed it. This isnt a AAA game or movie, its a youtube video. ;-)
It's pretty clear that the weird mixing is down to the use of voice over to adjust what they said after the fact. I'm also guessing that they didn't have time to fix it since the video probably needed to be uploaded.
What kind of an idiot would buy an Android phones when you could buy iPhones which never slow down, have the best everything and are just a great value. Even the latest Android phone will get really slow and unusable after a months use LOL. Idiots wasting money on Android phoned and windows laptops which suffer from the same problem as Android phones. Slow, unusable, unreliable, trash
The 1160 could be only for laptops right? Because I don't think anybody would buy a RTX Card if there is a GTX Card with the same specs and 100 $ cheaper.
The 11xx series cards will be released this year, 1160, 1170, 1180 variants will be released, just as there are laptop versions of 1060, 1070..etc there will be the same for 11xx, even though a few game devs are making support for the RTX, the card was actually meant to replace Quadro not Geforce
@@TheShivABC BULLSHIT that the 2000 series was meant to replace Quadro. You should wash your hands since they are probably covered in shit after pulling that nugget out of your ass.
@@TheShivABC how tf was the 20 series meant to replace Quadro. They still have a Quadro RTX 4000, 6000 and 8000. These Quadros are much better than the 20 series in productivity and Ray Tracing

I remember playing on a 20 inch tube tv and still look back fondly at those days, then Linus is over here making 4K look like its the gamers equivalent of crack.
[00:00] Hey there! I totally get what you're saying about gaming in 4k. It's all about that crisp and immersive experience, right? 😁 [00:13] The RTX 2060 does seem like an interesting option, but I agree with you, the frame rate is crucial for a competitive advantage, especially in games like Battlefield 5. And the whole ray tracing thing, well, it's cool but not always practical. [02:03] On the bright side, the improved specs and performance over the GTX 1060 do make it an appealing choice for gamers. And I'm curious about those partner cards with different board layouts. [06:36] Your point about high refresh rate monitors is spot on! It's all about that smooth gameplay. As for DLSS, it's promising, but 4k locked is a bit limiting. [08:02] Thanks for the heads up on Skillshare! Learning new skills is always a plus. So, in conclusion, the RTX 2060 seems like a decent choice for gaming and light workstation use, but it's important to consider your priorities. And yeah, that rumored RTX 1160 might be worth keeping an eye on. 😉
for 1440p you can cop a 1070 on craigslist for 180 bucks right now and have 95 percent of the rasterizing performance... or for a 100 more you could score a 1080ti and decimate this cash grab, useless feature loaded crap...
@@TheEchelon Oh, I have a 1080. It's a hand-me-down from a friend. But I've been in the shoes of people that couldn't afford better than a xx60 series card. 1070s are also getting hard to find, and this is honestly not the worst graphics card in the history of Nvidia's product stack.
Well, I got this with a bundled computer I bought recently. It was either this, or the 1660 super on another bundle, so I'm glad I could get the RTX 2060 for almost the same price. I have no desire, nor the means, to play at 4k. Even though I understand that being a reviewer of latest technology, this channel aims to inform on top tier options, I believe we've reached a point where 1080p gaming is not only a standard, but a pretty amazing one with current standard tech. Anything above that, to play at 4k, is multiple times as expensive. And this card is definitely not marketed at top tier price(+$3000). The only criticism that I understand, is that the RTX technology on this card is "almost" a gimmick, because with 6gb ram, it will be almost impossible to reproduce RTX with stable 60fps. But this card is great, can play ANY modern game with ease at ultra/high settings (with, at least, stable +60FPS), and I consider RTX just a small bonus, that can be used in tradeoff with other visual options, or even with stable 30fps (with good frametime, its completely doable, just like it is with many console games, as long as you're not doing e-sports online). And I believe it will be future proof for many (4/5/6) years, even at 6gb.
got the msi rtx 2060 gaming z edition. amazing silent cooling barely hit 60c under load oc. easily overclocked higher then the 2060 super and around the stock speed of the 2070. things built like a tank and runs all my games at 1440p above 80fps sometimes 100fps. absolutely love this card and nvidia is keeping their word with all the new drivers and updates that the rtx cards can take advantage of.
If you hate this watch a single episode of West coast customs on netflix and pay attention to the render previews...and it stays that shitty for MULTIPLE SEASONS!!!
He is so accustom to having the best tech stuff out there so he just hates on budget things. The rtx 2060 is not good if you want an ultra high end build but if you have a budget build it is amazing.
I'm happy with my 2060S, it treads on the heels of 500 dollar 2070 by only a few percent at a hundred dollars cheaper (400 bucks) which is what it costed me at the time before the miner nation attacked.
1050 ti sells like hot cake in this madnees if you dont plan to play games like ac origins odesy you dont need more than 2gb ram 1050 is same performance slighty on others. and ac odesy and origins problematic on cpu doesnt metter you have 1060 still drop 60fps under on 1080p.

@@imo098765 "but for that $100 you get DLSS, VRS and Ray Tracing" on a medium - low end GPU that cant even handle those proof of concept features.

What most people seem to want was some nice new cards to replace their 4 year old 900 series and 2 year old 1000s. Instead we got this early adoption premium stuff. Nivida could just release a 2070 / 60 GTX without ANY of the new features and it would sell.
