ASUS or MSI RTX 2060

[sakiboj]

Hi, I have two choices,

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-RTX-2060-GAMING-Z-6G

or

https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RTX2060-O6G/overview/

As my main monitor is hdmi and second one dvi-d I am leaning towards ASUS model. Price is same for both cards, 410€ which is around 465$

What do You guys think? Which one would you choose?

My cpu is 4770k and i play at 1080p@60Hz.

ASUS.

Can You elaborate why Asus?

Personal Preference , never had an issue with their cards. Also like the EVGA Black series.

MSI. I am using the 3rd MSI card after switching over from Gigabyte like 10 years ago. Never had any problems and built is very well. But its personal preference.

Generally speaking, both MSI and ASUS are properly the best custom card manufacturers.

I have now msi gtx 970 but I had to rma msi 1080ti gaming x because it had some issue, maybe memory or something. That 1080ti would just block my pc and turn fans to 100% and only solution was hard reset. Now this ASUS dual model is good for me because it have 2xhdmi, 2xdp and 1 dvi-d.

then go with it....ASUS is a great manufacturer. I really think you can't go wrong with either....

I bought Asus ROG Strix RTX2060 OC just about month ago. I did some research before buying just this RTX2060, but ASUS is (in my opinion) best manufactuers so the choice would have been the same even without a little research.

Asus: no complaints. When going to buy a new component I always at least check what Asus has to offer. I just happen to like their products.
MSI: The truth: I don't know. Never had MSI so no experience either.

Searching difference in specs of both Asus dual OC & MSI Gaming Z, MSI seems to have higher boost core clock. Well that is only performance detail I am able to find and I can't see why you couldn't get same clock speed by overclocking Asus.

I noticed that MSI comes along with pretty many softwares and I got confused already which does what.

Usually this kind of questions get fast response by googling it. Only if you are not too lazy to spend some time. Just something to keep in mind: comparing benchmark results/scores doesn't give the whole truth of component.

I bought Asus. Very good card, low temp, good performance,low noice.

 

[mjbn1977]

anyway. There are many reviews out there for both models. Just read some and then decide. Seriously, you will not notice any difference between the two products. Both are top tier models of the best two manufacturers.....go with whatever is the cheapest. I never had ASUS cards. But what is nice about MSI that they use top notch cooling and fans. That's what I noticed. But again. Its most likely the same with ASUS...

yeah, i think both are good,samelevel performance,afficiency and price,might MSI is little cheaper.
im interesting witch one is quieter, and i mean under gaming.

i know that MSI is very quiet,and also ASUS with is 'quiet bios' choice',

its hard to choose,but if i must, i go MSI.
