ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 STRIX OC review
Posted by: on: 01/30/2019 01:46 PM [
46 comment(s) ]
We review the new ASUS RTX 2060 STRIX OC edition. This premium product has already been tweaked the cards towards an 1830 MHz Boost frequency for you, making this a very rather fast offer in the RTX lineup, that looks terrific and familiar as well.

It was to be expected that AIB cards would be too expensive especially the top of the line ones. Hopefully in the coming months pricing will go down to a more reasonable level.

450$ is just insane. No thanks.

Very impressive, it's on-pair and beats Vega 64 in a couple of games. This is the kind of mid-range graphics card I would like to buy if Navi turns out to be another disappointment,
but paying that 459€ premium (more like 499€ in my country with vat and "chemical" taxes for electronics) does make it less tasty; not to mention RTX artificially increasing the price.

Did this really needs to have three fans? IMO two fans should be enough and still get decent temp.

Look at the standard 2060 6GB in the charts. Same load noise levels as this card in (silent) and only 4°C warmer. It's astonishing the price premium they are asking for this over the FE with little improvement.

Hilbert, you misidentified the 2060 Strix in some of the charts as 2080ti Strix (unigine and some of the futuremark charts).

Not sure why anyone would go for this over a 2070.

450 US for an AIB with a cut down TU106. That is just hilarious.

I rather pay extra 200€ and get a 2080rtx then, saw a few for 650€ in German shops.

I would go with 2070 probably. Im seeing msi 2070 armor for 525€. More vram, more rt cores and overall faster card. Cooler looks crappy tho

I think the armor is the old twin frozer 3 cooler. It only has three heat pipes. Though the 2070 doesn’t really get that hot.
Honestly IF I were getting and RTX only 2080 or 2080ti would I be looking at AIB. The 2060 and 2070 both I would just get straight from NV in FE trim.

Asus always had higher prices but this generation they gone overboard. Asus RTX lineup is a good 100-150€ more expensive than competition, and Strix 2080Ti is like 250€ higher than other brands. Asus thinks they are Apple of graphics cards, this arrogance will come back to bite them in the ass. o_O

see two RTX 2060 STRIX OC (one at 7836 pts and one at 7961 pts, normal vs OC ??)
And i think it is a RTX 2080 ASUS Dual and not a RTX 2080 Ti ASUS Dual

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
Sir, one thing is itching me for a long time. A stock clock for gtx 980ti isnt doing any justice here . 1300-1400mhz factory oced 980ti cards were very common . Even 1500mhz is pretty much doable for most of them .
Will it be too much to ask to include a moderately factory oced 980ti like msi lightning or zotac amp extrme one ? what do u say, Boss?

All cards listed in the reviews are reference clocked aside from the actual AIB card we include in the test results, that is and should be the primary comparative. That is the baseline we present for you to compare to. It would be an incredibly confusing flurry of results if we did AIB results solely. Another problem with that is when we do that, AIB partners will ONLY submit their fastest clocked SKUs to media. That would create a really weird dynamic. Most people buy a more affordable card and then tweak themselves to save money.
However, what you are asking we've addressed already at least in one segment of the reviews, the GPU shootout. It contains all results from all cards we tested.

Boss, that gpu shootout is a really helpful idea, where one can compare his gpu easily. But there isn't any 980ti i could find

WTH. All benchmarks include 980ti, always. All pages. Stop it here, please. And no HH should never include an oc'ed version of any gpu. Because in terms of fairness, he should overclock all gpus in the list. That's impossible and two times the effort for him. His reviews are absolute complete.

Oh why people get triggered so easily these days. Did u look at every page before jumping into my post with this conclusion.?
Here>
https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-strix-oc-review,31.html
.
Where did i question the fairness of HH's benchmarks? I take all HH's benches for granted. He proved his and his site's neutrality long time ago . But, that's not the point .
I was just trying making a point here.
.
About oc'ed result being used in the benchmarks, well ,that's ur way of looking at it. But, try to look differently.. will ya?
An rx580 can barely be overlocked 100mhz ~ 150mhz more from the freference stock on the core , having 10% oc headroom at best.
On the otherhand, Gtx 980ti cards in general can be overclocked upto 23 to 25% on the core pretty easily. So, what do u think mate?

Anyway, @Hilbert Hagedoorn, I believe reviewers and particularly Guru3d as I care about the best, you should place a time limit in products aging.
I do not find any reason for R9 series, including 3XX and Fury, but also GTX 9 series or earlier to be included anymore. 3-4years time is OK I think.

He is right. We all know how 980ti performs stock or overclocked. There is no need for HH to do additional work just to prove your 980ti is still relevant.
