MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS XS OC 6GB Review
MSI offers seven—count 'em—GeForce RTX 2060-based graphics cards as of this writing. Four of them have different physical designs, while the others have various degrees of overclocking. The GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus OC Edition I'm reviewing is an overclocked version of the GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus. The GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus XS models are similar, but physically shorter. The MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Aero ITX models are smaller still, designed for compact builds.
For the full background on the GeForce RTX 2060, our review of the Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 Amp is worth a read, as is our GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition review for the details on the "Turing" architecture that's behind the GeForce RTX 20-series. To keep it short but sweet, the GeForce RTX 2060 is a premium mid-level graphics card, well-suited for high-fps gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. It's capable of, but not ideal for, 4K gaming, as you'll have to dial back the visual quality settings in most of today's AAA titles to get playable performance.
For no-compromise 4K gaming, be prepared to ante up for a GeForce RTX 2080 or an AMD Radeon VII. (See our showdown AMD Radeon VII vs. Nvidia RTX 2080: Which High-End Gaming Card to Buy?) Likewise, if 1080p gaming is your ambition, a less-expensive card based on the Radeon RX 580 or 590, such as the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy, can do the job nicely.
In the realm of aftermarket graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus OC Edition has a relatively subdued look. It's devoid of flashy colors and design flair, and it has no LED bling at all. For all of those, you can step up to MSI's GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming Z, and numerous other aftermarket models (for extra money, of course).
The GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus OC Edition is 8.9 inches long, which is standard fare for a graphics card in this performance tier. It's significantly wider than the GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition, though, at 5 inches as opposed to 4.4 inches. That can be problematic if you use a small-form-factor (SFF) case, but fitment should be a non-issue in a mid-ATX tower or larger. This card has a two-slot height. The GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus XS models are shorter at 8.5 inches, but are, oddly, 0.1 inch wider according to MSI's specifications.
