Overclocking

As ever we began by setting the power limit and temperature limit to the maximum values allowed in MSI Afterburner, which with this card are 105 percent and 87°C. The core voltage slider we also set to 100 percent for maximum headroom.

We then managed a stable overclock of 1,930MHz for the boost clock, which is a 100MHz overclock, or just over five percent. It’s also 15 percent higher than stock settings for the RTX 2060 GPU.

The GDDR6 memory as usual was pretty responsive to clock speed increases, and eventually we settled on 15.6Gbps, which is just over 11 percent faster than stock at 14Gbps.

UPDATE 15/03/2019: Please note that the power data originally displayed on this page was inaccurate for the GTX 1060, but it is now correct. We have also removed entries for the GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, RTX 2060 Founders Edition, Palit RTX 2070 Dual, and Sapphire RX 580 in the power and temperature graphs due again to inaccurate data. We sincerely apologise for this error; please see the article comments for further information.
