Msi 2060 Gaming Z
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 GAMING Z 6G reviewWe review the new MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming Z edition. This one sits in a more premium line of gaming series products. MSI has already tweaked the cards towards an 1830 MHz Boost frequency for you, making this a very rather fast offer in the RTX lineup, and it looks downright terrific as well once you put some juice on it.It has been a fairly crazy ride with NVIDIA the past few months, roughly 4-5 months ago the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti became available.
People had been very interested and were warmed up for the DLSS (Tensor) features and the ability to play Battlefield V in that hybrid Raytraced way. NVIDIA initiated massive internet virals to gain media coverage. But then the bubble exploded in their face as end-users looked the other way when they learned about the incredibly steep price level.
Then when Battlefield V launched, lots of people where like, that's it? That is the difference while looking at eye soaring low framerates while they need to put hundreds of dollars and euros on the table to make use of new RT and Tensor technology. A patch and driver or two later did improve overall performance, however, with graphics cards sitting in an 800 USD/ EUR (RTX 2080) and 1250 USD/ EUR (2080 Ti) range while not coming down (the price that is) things became difficult. The launch of the GeForce RTX 2070, was received better.
The primary perf issues with Battlefield V had been solved mostly shortly after release and a card with a 500550 EUR/USD price tag feels better while still being very expensive. The past few months RTX became a tough sell and NVIDIAs popularity declined in a negative spiral.
Whenever that happens, as a company you need to set things right. The first attempt at that will be what we review today, a product that most people can afford, the GeForce RTX 2060. The xx60 range typically is mainstream slash mid-range, however, at 349 USD (and really that's where it'll start) we do wonder how the general public will feel about that price. The last-gen GTX 1060 was launched at 299 USD. Before that era mainstream was in a 199 USD range.
So in just a few years, prices have risen 75%, one year away of getting doubled if this trend continues. Admittedly, technology evolves, the fabrication nodes are more expensive, the anything RTX also uses more expensive GDDR6 memory.
Everything factors in. Let's hope it's enough, as we really do like the RTX 2060 and it is in a price range that most people can afford. The big question that remains, is this product enough?
Msi 2060 Gaming Z Temps
MSI GAMING Z 6GThe 4th model RTX card once again is based on Turing architecture, offering a fundamental change in the graphics card arena as next to your normal shading engine, NVIDIA has added 30 RT (Raytracing) cores, as well as 240 Tensor (AI), cores onto the new GPUs, and these are active. Active but more limited I should say, the GeForce RTX 2060, really is making use of a reconfigured GeForce RTX 2070 chip. The GPU has been cut-down as well as the memory configuration in size. The new RTX series is mostly about DX-R (DirectX-R compatible hardware accelerated Raytracing). This review covers the reference card, also referred to as founder edition. It has been fitted with 6GB of GDDR6 memory (14 Gbps). This 160 Watts rated graphics card has 1920 activated shader processors (that value is 2304 on the RTX 2070).
It has a proper 1680 MHz boost clock for the standard founder version and there will be no differentiation for the reference values compared to the AIB partners. The card has 6 GB of the now familiar GDDR6 memory running a 192-bit wide bus (336 GB/s), the price for the AIB product is sitting in that 350 USD range.Having smaller TU106 silicon with close to 11 Billion transistors it doesn't run too hot. The cooler is dual-slot design. The card comes fitted with just one rear positioned power headers (8-pin). MSI applies an updated TWIN FROZR 7 cooler for the GeForce RTX 2060 which makes use of two 9 cm TORX 3.0 fans which combine the advantages of both traditional and dispersion fan blade to generate huge amounts of airflow. The new trims on the traditional fan blades create concentrated airflow for higher air pressure while also reducing noise.
The Gaming Z edition has been designed with budget in mind and is merely 30 bucks more expensive over reference, costing 379 USD, it's attractive product with good cooling and acoustic performance. The icing on top of the cake is a factory Boost frequency of 1830 MHz, making the product significantly faster than the founder edition card. The card offers one HDMI ports and three DisplayPorts. MSI dropped the DVI and Virtual link (USB) connector.
This Turing 106 GPU empowered product keeps that GPU at roughly 65 Degrees C marker depending on game load. Though the GDDR6 memory has been not been tweaked, the ICs are stock 14 GHz (effective clock-rate) but can be bumped upward towards 15 to 16 GHz with the flick of your fingers as we'll show you in the tweaking chapters. Check out the new gunmetal grey & black look combined with very nice Mystic Light RGB.

To replace 'FOV switcher' for Call of Pripyat Does not work with Clear Sky, and SHoC already has the same using Codebro's 1.0008 patch. This mod has been set to hidden. The reason given by the author is: Game Front is now back online. Due to issues with other websites, they've requested we take down the files we backed up when they went offline. Nov 01, 2015 Hello, fellow mutant killers! So, I just recently got this game. I haven't played yet, but I'm preparing to freak myself out today. Anyway, I decided to do some mod research and found out the game defaults to a 55 FOV with no built in options to change it. Something lik 55 makes me feel sick after a few minutes. Now, I will gladly tell you that I'm a serious noob when it comes to PC gaming, as. Call of pripyat fov mod.

YES the 2070 is marginally better but we're talking very marginal. I won't get into splitting hairs on price from this retailer vs. Price from that retailer, etc. However from what I can tell, no matter where you live, a top of the line RTX 2060 is still significantly cheaper than the cheapest 2070 offering by about $100 USD.
I'd rather have a top of the line heatsink cooler and PCB than a bottom of the line heatsink cooler and PCB all other things being equal. Except in this case. That top of the link Heatsink, cooler and PCB is actually on average $100 USD cheaper than the bottom end 2070 and the performance is extremely close albeit the bottom end 2070's DO beat out on average the top of the line OC'ed 2060's.And yes of course you can always OC your low end 2070. But you'll end up running the card at significantly higher temperatures and at significantly more fan noise.
High-end RTX 2060 such as MSI Gaming Z or Asus ROG STRIX seems to be the way to go!. I think a bottom end 2070 does not make sense at this point in time with the performance difference between the bottom end 2070 and top of the line 2060s.However if you have extra $$$ and dish out for a top of the line 2070, then that would definitely make a lot more sense. However at that point, you could look at a bottom end 2080 even maybe?Apples to apples though. 2060 FE and 2070 low end (Cause the 2070 FE was the 400A chip and the 2060 FE is the 200 Chip (Not A). The 2070 still definitely beats out the 2060.
To me though the price difference isn't worth it.
