Zotac GeForce RTX 2060

Überraschung zum Fest: die Geforce RTX 2060 12GB im Test. Die neueste Grafikkarte am Markt wurde am 7. Dezember ohne den typischen Rummel, fast schon heimlich eingeführt. Ob es dafür Gründe abseits der im Kern drei Jahre alten Hardware gibt? PCGH konnte ein Sample aus dem regulären Handel ergattern und präsentiert daher den Test der Geforce RTX 2060 12GB.

We have with us the "new" NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB. This is for all intents and purposes a new GPU model released by the green team just a few weeks ago, at the start of December 2021. The GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB is based on the 12 nm Turing graphics architecture that debuted way back in 2018. This isn't just a memory capacity bump for the RTX 2060 that originally shipped with 6 GB, but also a cross between the original RTX 2060 and newer RTX 2060 SUPER, in that it has the GPU core configuration of the latter, but with the memory bus width of the former.

ZOTAC's GeForce RTX 2060 AMP comes overclocked out of the box, to a rated boost frequency of 1800 MHz, which is 120 MHz higher than the NVIDIA Founders Edition. This overclock is average in size considering the other RTX 2060 cards that have been announced so far. I guess ZOTAC is reserving even higher clocks for the upcoming AMP Extreme. With these clocks, the card runs at 1973 MHz on average (FE averages 1865 MHz). Unfortunately, the memory isn't overclocked even though the chips could certainly take it, as our manual overclocking section shows.
