This card is very nice. Picked up both the Founders Edition and This PNY XLR8 version at the same time to conduct some testing and see which one i'd prefer to keep, and ending up keeping this one. even at $10 additional over the Nvidia FE card, this one is lighter and has some slight OC capabilities. From factory this comes with a slight over-clock already and card stays cooler than the FE card due to its fan/design. The side has a white (non changeable) LED, so your stuck with that. however the card is half the weight of the FE card.
I have enjoyed PNY products for a long time, they are like the "underdog" and dont over saturate the market with higher priced items giving the consumer a good value. From PNY SSD's to M.2 NVME drive and RAM, they are great quality products.
If you want a budget (not overpriced) 2060 super, this is a quality card which will perform as expected of a 2060 super. IF this is NOT available as it seems to be out of stock, go with the Founders Edition from Nvidia at $399. or the PNY XLR8 1660 Super (which i also have) and save a few more bucks.
Card is paired with 32GB of PNY XLR8 3200Mhz ram and a Ryzen 5 2600X processor.

This is a beast of a chip. Picked it up to build a budget streaming rig with a 1660 Super card. but believe it or not this thing is way under-rated. It performs better than my old FX-6300 (3C/6T) processor. Lower TDP, and integrated graphics are more than enough for majority of desktop users. Will even be suitable for light gaming (nothing too intense) . To do this, highly recommend 3000mhz and faster ram. Dual Channel (2 sticks) and atleast 16GB ram. Your integrated GPU utilizes system memory, 8GB will not be enough (unless its just a desktop,) THere is no reason why the minimal now-adays should be less than 16GB.
I paired mine with 2xGB DDR4 3200mhz PNY XLR8 ram. and a 512GB NVME PNY XLR8 SSD. super happy with the combo.
Additionally its all on a budget Gigabyte A320-S2H board.

This is a Great Budget card which will play all the latest games on high/ultra 1080 over 60FPS. Also is perfect for streamers who want to also stream with the NVENC (Nvidia Encoder). Single fan, small form factor for smaller builds. Im running this as my primary encoder card in a streaming PC setup. Super happy with the card. PNY doesnt get enough praises for building good items.

Really enjoy having a high quality capture card device. Will record in HDR 4k as well to your PC. For streaming, you will need to use OBS or StreamLabs OBS. The 4k Capture utility by Elgato will only record. GameCapture HD will NOT work with this device. Not a big deal. that being said, if you have a HD 60 or HD 60S, and dont want to use 4k passthrough, and use GameCapture HD, the 60S+ would not benefit you.
Pros:
Great Device, easy to use and setup.
Comes with HDMI Cable and USB cable
4k passthrough works flawlessly.
