Summary
Let us return to the heading first. With the maximum power limit set in the BIOS, these super cards remind me a little of Nvidia's non-A chips, which simply couldn't be faster, because otherwise a sisterly feeding could have taken place. Unfortunately, this continues here with the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and so it is practically impossible to hoist these cards, however cooled, over 2.1 Ghz.
This is exactly where the COOLER from MSI does its job really well and quietly, because at 62 °C a lot of boost steps have been preserved, which the reference card quickly loses. Under load, this explains the significantly better performance in some games, where the GPU is properly challenged. The MSI card can keep the beat loose, the reference card unfortunately does this not so confidently.
Separating the sandwich design into two, rather than a cooling and assembly frame, is clever and once again follows what we have been suggesting to manufacturers for a long time. This means that memory and voltage converters are now finally thermally separated in such radiator designs. The result can thus be seen and also heard (or The latter is not). The TwinFrozr works confidently and almost unused.
Only the start pulse when leaving passive mode should have been a little more discreet. But the hysteresis has been perfectly implemented as always, so that this is all mockery at a very high level

Conclusion
We have long thought about what we do when evaluating products that have been planned and implemented above average, but where the price is a little too high in the end to justify an explicit purchase tip. But in this case the graphics card can do nothing for it. The new TPS-Award should take the whole thing into account from now on and also appreciate the technical implementations, which are above the general average, but are neither a real price/performance monster nor an absolute technical highlight.
The MSI RTX 2060 Super Gaming X has earned this award. The days when MSI had thermally not sufficiently decoupled the voltage converters from memory now seem to be over. The board layout is absolutely fine and the potent cooler cools as if there is no tomorrow. If a GeForce RTX 2060 Super is not enough off the rack at the end, you will surely be happy with this card, as long as you don't miss the squeaky-colored LED irradiation in tears. Because this is rather discreet here.
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Gaming X, 8GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP (V375-214R)
