Conclusion
Built like a tank and shipped with a handsome 1,830MHz overclock, the card is about as quick as any custom RTX 2060 Super is likely to be.Nvidia's partners are going to feel the squeeze when attempting to market heavily overclocked and custom-cooled GeForce RTX 2060 Super graphics cards.
Such boards face stern competition from the £380 Founders Edition, as well as the rival Radeon RX 5700 XT at the same price point, and taking things a step too far risks being overshadowed by the superior RTX 2070 Super at £475.
It is this very conundrum that makes Palit's RTX 2060 Super JS difficult to recommend. Built like a tank and shipped with a handsome 1,830MHz overclock, the card is about as quick as any custom RTX 2060 Super is likely to be, but the resulting £430 price tag offers poor value in the face of what's now available from the competition.
Bottom line: Palit is aiming squarely at those who want a lofty factory overclock and better-than-reference cooling, but given what else is currently available, we're not convinced it's worth spending more than £400 on an x60-series GPU.
Silky smooth at FHD, decent at QHD

Hardware support for ray tracing
Dual BIOS with 0dB
Often outperformed by RX 5700 XT
Not as sleek as Founders Edition
