A more solid frame rate than I was expecting, and while the game itself isn’t my cup of tea, it’s hard not to be impressed with the visual fidelity on offer. Metro Exodus looks incredible with the 2060.

Metro Exodus, though, blew the cobwebs out of my “I can’t be bothered with PC gaming” brain in terms of how it looks. Not a great game (sometimes not even a good one), but it does look spectacular ( which you can see in our video review), and runs so well on the 2060 that after trying the Xbox One X version, I realised I just couldn’t go back to half the frame rate on console for that one. It may look boring from the top, but the blue glow when it’s switched on makes it look great.Īnthem did it for me. The 2060 can do 4K, it’s worth saying, but you’re not going to always get the best performance: it’ll vary from sub-30 all the way up to 60fps, but it depends on the game, of course. You might not push 4K 60fps on many games (frankly, to do so you’ll need the 2080 and about £800 extra in the bank to spend), but you can get 1440 and 60 quite comfortably, thus a higher resolution than offered elsewhere with the frame rate you (or I, at least) desire. I appreciate the work that’s gone into the higher resolution textures, but there are some games that just have an almost unquantifiably better feel when you get that crisper, smoother frame rate.
#IS A NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 GOOD 1080P#
Those of you who play PS4 Pro or Xbox One X games and prefer graphics mode to performance, are not going to like what I have to say next, but I’ll take 1080p and 60fps (or higher) over a 30fps 4K game any day.
#IS A NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 GOOD UPGRADE#
I have a nice setup, but a modest PC for 2019’s requirements, and I’ve been meaning to upgrade some parts for ages, but such is the improvement the 2060 makes, I’ve already added a couple of SSDs and am now thinking about CPUs as well. So I’ll dispense with the pleasantries and get down to it: hyperbole be damned, this GPU has made me a PC gamer again.ĭon’t get me wrong, it’s never a thing that’s been far from my mind. It’s going to be hard to review the RTX 2060 without playing a little inside baseball first.
