What a great GPU. This month I finally bought an RTX2060, after almost a year without a GPU. Finally running The Witcher 3 on ultra settings. Just had to downgrade the Hairworks AA to level 4. Still, solid 60fps everywhere and every other setting is on max. I was going to get a GTX 1660 Super, but the RTX2060 (an Asus TUF Gaming) appeared on sale for pretty much the same price.

On AMD, there's Enhanced Sync (I think thats what it's called) and that lets you get above your monitor's framerate in Fallout. I think it will make new Vegas and FO4 run faster than normal though since they're supposed to be locked at 60fps.

[@ZeitrafferYEP]

I actually owned one of these a few months back, I knew it was fake but the price is great enough for me. Most games I play isnt really demanding so the fps is quite ok. Tge main problem is with textures as sometimes they will have magical lines or sometimes wont even load. I upgraded to a real 730 after that and im super happy for getting out of that experience.

[@Del_UK]

Even if you are standing still, the graphics card is still refreshing the screen at the FPS shown by MSI Afterburner. Which is why, when using Heaven benchmark it is better to go into user mode and find where the highest FPS place. From there you can test temperature or adjust overclocking.
