Will the GeForce RTX 2060 fit and work in your PC?
Everything you need before you buy a GeForce RTX 2060 as an upgrade: the power supply, the power connector, whether it fits your case, and which CPUs won't hold it back.
Check it against your exact PC →🔌 Power & connectors
NVIDIA/AMD recommend at least a 500 W power supply for the GeForce RTX 2060, and it draws power through 1× 8-pin. Make sure your PSU actually has that cable free — it's the #1 reason a GPU upgrade gets returned.
📏 Will it fit your case?
The GeForce RTX 2060 is 229 mm long and 2 slots thick. It fits 66 of 66 popular cases we track, including 9 small-form-factor (ITX) cases.
Tightest cases it still fits: SilverStone SG13 (ITX), Thermaltake Versa H17, Lian Li A4-H2O (ITX), Lian Li Q58 (ITX).
🧠 CPUs that won't bottleneck it
The faster the GPU, the more CPU you need — and lower resolutions lean harder on the CPU. Minimum recommended CPU for the GeForce RTX 2060 by resolution:
"Won't bottleneck" means your CPU can keep the GeForce RTX 2060 busy at that resolution; the chips shown are the most affordable that qualify. Specific games still vary.
