MSI RTX 2060 VENTUS 12G OC graphics card

12GB GDDR6 RTX 2060 for mid-range gaming

This MSI Ventus card carries 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with a 14 Gbps effective clock. The GeForce RTX 2060 GPU provides 2176 CUDA cores and a 1680 MHz boost clock. It targets 1080p and 1440p gaming with support for DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6. Four simultaneous displays are supported via one HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Check PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and 500W power supply

Verify your motherboard has a free PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for the interface. The board draws up to 184W and requires a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. MSI recommends a power supply of at least 500W to cover the card and the rest of the system. Ensure the case length and height can accommodate a dual-fan cooler before ordering.

Dual-fan cooler frees case airflow for CPU

The TORX Fan 2.0 design uses steep curved blades and traditional blades to move air across the heatsink and exhaust it into the chassis. This keeps GPU temperatures controlled without demanding exotic case ventilation. HDCP readiness and G-SYNC compatibility simplify monitor pairing. The Afterburner utility and OC Scanner handle overclock tuning while Predator captures gameplay footage.
