What reviewers say

Reviewers praise strong 1080p performance, efficiency and results near the GTX 1070. Demanding 1440p games need settings reduced, while the RTX 2060 offers more headroom and RTX features. PC Gamer and PCWorld test overclocked ASUS ROG Strix boards; their cooler praise and price reservations concern that partner design.
