We will then do trial and error to see what, if any, additional performance we can get from adding additional voltage to the GPU. How Do You Overclock at GeForce RTX 2060 FE?įor the NVIDIA RTX 2060 FE graphics card, we will approach the overclocking by boosting the power limit to maximum levels within MSI Afterburner (including using the extended range options) and then start increasing the GPU clock speed until we find the highest stable value. To complicate matters further, the final overclocked speed is not what we dial in as our settings but rather what the card will boost to based upon actual gameplay, available power, and thermals.
Overclocking video cards can sometimes be more of an art than a science as there are a number of ways to go about finding the best combination for performance as well as different ways to evaluate the stability of an overclock. Today is all about NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 overclocking.
These overclocking articles will also serve as a basis for our comparison to retail cards as we strap them to the test bench over the next few months. Over the past few weeks, in case you missed it, we published the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE Overclocking article, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Overclocking article and the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Overclocking article. Last year, we wrote an overclocking article about the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER FE capabilities and in the interim, we’ve realized that it’s about for us to work our way through the current generation of video cards on the market and do an overclocking article on each so you can see how much headroom each card will have and what performance gains you can expect.
