Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 AMP 6 GB

wow and well

1st,as all see,itsfaster than gtx 1080/vega64....but powerdraw is almost hafl for vega64,....and i never stop amazed how lausy gpu vega64 really are. worst of 10 years!

you mean how lousy of a GPU the Fury X is? vega 64 is just an overclocked fury X. overclock is courtesy of the die shrink from 28nm to 14nm, there was zero improvements to the GPU itself. gamers nexus proved that by downclocking the vega 64 to fury X speeds and showing that they perform EXACTLY the same.

and now AMD made the vega vii, which looks like a cut down but overclock vega 64, which in turn is a fury X. overclock is once again courtesy of the die shrink to 7nm.

Why are the AMD GPUS tested with august 2018 driver ? 18.8.2 WHQL

Because he doesnt want to rebench with the newest driver, might upset Nvidia

all the driver improvements happen in the first driver after release of the video game or benchmark or the 2nd or 3rd driver after the card itself comes out. so any game that's older than 6 months is not going to get jack sh*t from newer AMD drivers. all AMD cards are old and every game tested was old. you might get +1 FPS from the latest driver, but even that's a maybe. hardOCP, linus and others did their own tests of the "fine wine" garbage amd claimed, everyone came to the same conclusion. all the gains are in the first few drivers

nvidia cards get driver updates too, by the way. in all likelihood this is what the RTX 2060 will always perform like, but if there are driver improvements it will most likely favor Turing as it's the newest architecture. Vega 64 is a Fury X rebrand on a smaller node, so any improvements that AMD could have squeezed out of it, they got it years ago.

Price is the main problem here. ZOTAC is the cheapest AIB manufacturer. If it priced RTX 2060 at $379, you can be sure ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte etc. will be probably charging $399 for idle fan stop enabled variants. x060 series just got 40 % more expensive (+$150), W1zzard you should be raging about this in every review. The only site that did rage about it was Anandtech.

i would agree with you if AMD wasn't charging $420+ for a reference vega 64 board while custom boards are selling for $500+. AMD's pricing makes RTX 2060 seem like a bargain. if you were selling better pizza than the pizzeria across the street, would you sell it for less than they did? probably not, but nvidia (to my surprise) is

Nvidia need a volume card as their bread and butter that at least will get some positive journalism reviews

the Twin Fan variant shared a lot of similarity with this card btw. And yes, that (twin fan model) is the "cheapest" RTX2060 u can find.

I have this one and Temperature is so high.
Non OC: 83 Celcius
OC +68 core/+500 mem: 87 Celcius
Ambient temp : 30
Case has Good Airflow.
I send it to Zotac service but nothing change

Why would anything change if nothing is wrong with it?
1. TPU is doing the reviews on an open test bench
2. You can bet your ass that they are not doing reviews in a 30C room.

So, remove ~10C for the high ambient temp, a few degrees for the GPU sitting in a case and you'll end up with the similar 72C load just like in the review.

Everything work fine except Temp issue.
Even when i open side glass of the case, just 1 Celcius down . The diference between 70% and 100% fan speed is just one Celcius.
I have 3 intake fan (2 of them for Raid, 1 below the "white cover - where you hide cable") and 3 out fan.
This is my RIG Photo. (i5 9400F - Very low 65W TDP )
I dont belive this card has 72 Celcius max load even with 20 Ambient temp (i can turn on the air conditioner)
Sr for my bad Eng. Im from Vietnam.
