So let's prices fall.... $20 in a code plus a $20 rebate, and not impressed... Now I can't find reviews on this TUF all I see is the repetitive ASUS marketing dump. What I see is a Smurf PCB, with a cooler with just two heat pipes, fans that appear more like 80mm and perhaps a plastic "cosmetic" backing plate. Can't see them casting/machining those ribs on that backing plate. I've seen RX 570 with higher content and quality of AIB dressing.
There's one Eggview and while a 5*, you read a *conflicted* write-up... "4K in games on ultra or highest settings" ... doubt it! "because it is small, it runs hot", " Ooooweeee too loud when guns runs high speed." While this, "I won’t take an egg off because again (I call that a first step for Asus TUF edition for creating a card like this)" You pay $350 and say well they tried making a petite, but lack-luster product? Got it!
Nope just taking (RTX/Turing) bins of geldings and dropping (Re-branding) them a level and call it Super with a small price increase. Those original RTX (now no-longer Super products) will see a small price reduction.
ARTX 2060 will go to a $330 MSRP while the Super goes to $380! Win -Win Nvidia.
It depend on the resolution you intend to stay at or move to when? What level of case/cooling you can provide, and level of PSU/efficiency rating. Finally what titles, AAA or mostly MMOPG?
Casecutter is historically an ATI fan boy. He looks at the shiny pieces and price when this all comes down to FPS, stability, heat and longevity. RTX 2060 is a good card for gaming but prices are a mixed bag. Just make sure you pick up a card with a good build backed by reviews, company, warranty. Normally your dual fan, Windforce, EVGA variants. Careful of coil wine, heat, fan failure.
ATI's new NAVI is coming which should drop prices on all cards a bit but ATI already got greedy on their pricing for a speculative 20% increase in performance for $50 dollars less, no ray tracing (so what). NAVI may turn out to be a cooler card as its 7nm GPU should run cooler with less power draw. All wait and see as ATI in general will 1. Run Hot. 2. Driver issues. Lots of new bells and whistles coming from ATI with these new cards so driver stability will be an issue. Smaller company, less resources, same pressure to compete, deliver.
In the end RTX 2060 is a good card for the money. Wait a bit and you should see them new for $300 especially after the new Nvidia Super cards drop. These new cards will have faster memory, higher clocks, more heat, etc. so not worth the top shelf price. Nvidia is just eating up what headroom they already had sandbagged on their RTX cards in preparation for ATI's Navi.
Keep an eye out for price breaks at EVGA B Stock.
Personally a GTX 1080 at $300 or less is the best buy right now if you can get a card "not" used for data mining. Again B Stock or if your willing to buy used.

If this card is no go. What would you recommend?
