MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS 12G OC GDDR6 Graphic Card

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS 12G OC GDDR6 Graphic Card brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. The GPU features 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation. NVIDIA Ampere is the 2nd generation RTX architecture. It features up to twice the FP32 throughput, 2nd Gen RT Core throughput, and 3rd Gen Tensor Core throughput of the previous generation. It also features a Samsung 8N custom process and utilizes GDDR6X VRAM. NVIDIA Turing™ Architecture This revolutionary architecture, combined with our all-new GeForce RTX™ platform, fuses together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. You’ve never created and enjoyed games like this before. Real-Time Ray Tracing In Games Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what’s possible using traditional rendering techniques. NVIDIA Turing™ is the first GPU capable of real-time ray tracing. PERFORMANCE GeForce RTX™ gaming GPUs come loaded with next-generation GDDR6 memory, support for DirectX 12 features, and more. This is graphics reinvented. PREMIUM DESIGN A fresh new dual fan design, VENTUS proudly displays its industrial shapes in neutral colors to fit any build. TORX FAN 2.0 Using two of the award-winning TORX Fans 2.0, MSI VENTUS graphics cards provide years of top-notch cooling performance.

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS 12G OC GDDR6 Review

The MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus OC is one of the company’s custom designed RTX 2060. We previously reviewed the GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition, now it’s time to see how a factory overclock RTX 2060 would perform. In this review, you’re going to see how the RTX 2060 Ventus OC performs considering that it features a slight bump on its boost clock speeds; a different cooler design and custom designed PCB. Not everyone likes how the current Founders Edition look; some prefers a more “gaming” looking card. So if you are in the market looking for an RTX 2060 that is not plagued with RGB lighting, stick around and continue reading our MSI RTX 2060 Ventus OC review below. The MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC is basically somewhat similar to the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition we have reviewed before. They share most of the features that the new NVIDIA Turing architecture offers. They have the same modified TU106 GPU chip that powers the graphics card. The RTX 2060 features 30 SMs, 1920 CUDA cores, 240 Tensor cores and 30 RTX cores. It also has 6GB of GDDR6 memory with a clock speed of 14 Gbps and runs on a 192-bit memory interface. More on the specifications below. However, the main difference of the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC from that of the RTX 2060 Founders Edition lies on its boost clock speed, PCB design and cooling solution. The RTX 2060 Ventus OC features the company’s TORX Fan 2.0 and the copper heat pipes directly contact with the GPU chip. Whether that helps or not, we will find out soon on our temperature test. Of course, just like all the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC is also capable of doing real-time ray tracing and supports DLSS features. Its 30 RT cores can deliver 5 Giga Rays of ray tracing performance; and 240 Tensor cores that delivers 52 TFLOPS of deep learning horsepower and can be used to improve gaming performance through a feature known as Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). In this review, I have also included benchmark results for Battlefield V and Metro Exodus; including results when RTX is turned on and DLSS is turned on. Currently, these are the first two games where you can make use of the RTX 20 series’ real-time ray tracing and DLSS features.
