Product overview

MSI’s GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus GP OC is a Turing‑generation (RTX 20‑series) card released on January 15, 2019, bringing first‑gen RT/Tensor cores and DLSS to mainstream buyers. This OC variant clocks up to 1710 MHz and pairs 6GB of 14 Gbps GDDR6 with a 192‑bit bus.

Positioned in the budget tier, it exists to offer dependable 1080p play—and workable 1440p—plus entry‑level ray tracing when DLSS is enabled. It draws about 160 W via a single 8‑pin plug (MSI recommends a 500 W PSU), measures 231 × 128 × 42 mm (dual‑slot), and provides 3× DisplayPort 1.4a plus 1× HDMI 2.0b for up to four displays (max 8K).
