Hey guys, I wanna buy a graphics card for about 400 dollars I'm thinking of buying the RTX 2060 rog strix.

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Strix-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR6/dp/B07MLTTDXS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

But do you guys recommend it or should I buy a different one?

 

 

btw: If it wasn't obvious I am planning on overclocking, otherwise this card would be a waste.

If it is not a "Must" then better buy evga for support and warranty

No. Strix cooler is better and ASUS warranty is fine

For a card of the RTX 2060 level the cooler is almost meaningless, ASUS warranty is awful in every way, specially if you're not at USA, so considering EVGA is very valid specially when you take into account ASUS has been overpricing their products lately for the rights of ROG branding.

 

The GPU itself though it's very worth it, the 2060 is extremely close to the 2070 performance wise, it's the 1070 Ti vs 1080 drama all over again.

 

The 2070 should be avoided personally speaking, you either go 2060 or 2080.
