MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z Review

Test Setup

The RTX 2060 is a card that is all about its ability to pump out smooth frame-rates at the popular 1920×1080 resolution and thus we’re sorting our graphs by the 1080P result instead of 4K.

Overclocking

All of the partner RTX 2060 cards we’ve looked at so far have the 1830 MHz clock speed, and all are capable of pushing past the 2 GHz boundary when it comes to overclocking. The MSI Gaming Z is no exception and actually gives us the biggest average clock speed we’ve seen so far. Naturally it’s time to find out if this small boost is reflected in real world performance.
