Meet the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Remember seeing this card somewhere else before? You might be one of the lucky few people who got their hands on the RTX 2060 Founders Edition before it went permanently out of stock after a few weeks on sale.

Gunmetal and Mirrors

The solid, almost-gunmetal-gray shell is accented this time around with a shiny mirror between the fans, complete with a green badge in the middle that signifies this card's "super" capabilities.

Ports for All Occasions

The RTX 2060 Super card features two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, one HDMI 2.0, one legacy-style DVI-D, and one USB-C/VirtualLink, the last meant for future VR headsets. The inclusion of DVI is unusual.

Top View of the RTX 2060 Super

As you can see, much of the heat sink is exposed through the top edge of the card, allowing for free flow of air.

Straight Eight

Unlike most other modern cards, the RTX 2060 Super has its power connector on the trailing edge. It's a single eight-pin.

A Snazzy Backplate

The backplate on the RTX 2060 Super uses the same streaked circuit-board design as on the earlier Founders Edition card.

Strong Results at a Discount

Let's assume you are aiming to play a good number of AAA games at 4K 60Hz, and also looking to pay well less than the RTX 2070 did at launch. If that is your plan, and you'd also like to run some early ray-tracing titles at lower resolutions, the RTX 2060 Super could be the card for you.

My Experience

I'm a senior analyst charged with testing and reviewing VPNs and other security apps for PCMag. I grew up in the heart of Silicon Valley and have been involved with technology since the 1990s. Previously at PCMag, I was a hardware analyst benchmarking and reviewing consumer gadgets and PC hardware such as desktop processors, GPUs, monitors, and internal storage. I've also worked as a freelancer for Gadget Review, VPN.com, and Digital Trends, wading through seas of hardware and software at every turn. In my free time, you’ll find me shredding the slopes on my snowboard in the Rocky Mountains where I live, or using my culinary-degree skills to whip up a dish in the kitchen for friends.

The Technology I Use

As a former PC component reviewer and longtime gamer, almost every PC I use is one that I've custom-built. I use a system that runs an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, along with an AMD Radeon RX 6800 graphics card in a black case. For mobile devices, I'm a longtime user of Apple smartphones and am deeply integrated into Cupertino's app ecosystem, and currently I have an iPhone 10X.
