Join us as we review the new ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 STRIX OC edition. This premium product has already been tweaked the cards towards an 1830 MHz Boost frequency for you, making this a very rather fast offer in the RTX lineup, that looks terrific and familiar as well.
It was to be expected that AIB cards would be too expensive especially the top of the line ones. Hopefully in the coming months pricing will go down to a more reasonable level.
450$ is just insane. No thanks.
Nice card but not $100 over FE nice.
but paying that 459€ premium (more like 499€ in my country with vat and "chemical" taxes for electronics) does make it less tasty; not to mention RTX artificially increasing the price.
Did this really needs to have three fans? IMO two fans should be enough and still get decent temp.
Look at the standard 2060 6GB in the charts. Same load noise levels as this card in (silent) and only 4°C warmer. It's astonishing the price premium they are asking for this over the FE with little improvement.
Hilbert, you misidentified the 2060 Strix in some of the charts as 2080ti Strix (unigine and some of the futuremark charts).
Not sure why anyone would go for this over a 2070.
450 US for an AIB with a cut down TU106. That is just hilarious.
I rather pay extra 200€ and get a 2080rtx then, saw a few for 650€ in German shops.
I think the armor is the old twin frozer 3 cooler. It only has three heat pipes. Though the 2070 doesn't really get that hot.
Honestly IF I were getting and RTX only 2080 or 2080ti would I be looking at AIB. The 2060 and 2070 both I would just get straight from NV in FE trim.
Ah, I fixed the labels. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
