After NVIDIA’s formal announcement of the RTX 2060, AIBs are sure to follow with their own take of the graphics card. MSI has released not one but three SKUs of NVIDIA’s budget ray tracing-capable card.
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming Z 6G
Equipped with MSI’s 7th generation TWIN FROZR cooler, the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 users two 9cm TORX 3.0 fans. This allows the fans to generate huge amounts of airflow to cool the card. The new trims on the fans create concentrated airflow while still reducing noise.
The MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Gaming Z 6G employs new gunmetal and black colors to accentuate MSI’s Mystic Light RGB LED lighting.
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC
Dressed in black and silver colors, the MSI GeForce RTX Ventus 6G OC was inspired by a solid dual-fan design. Perfect for gamers looking for a different experience, MSI’s TORX Fan 2.0 on the card provides concentrated airflow and air pressure for a better cooling performance.
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Aero ITX 6G OC
At just 175mm long, the MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Aero ITX 6G OC is the smallest RTX 2060 in MSI’s range. Despite its dainty size, the RTX Aero ITX 6G OC can still deliver top notch performance.
The card uses a single high-performance fan on a compact heatsink that has two heat pipes with optimized dissipation for optimal cooling performance.
