2060 KO PPD? update: seeing ~1.1MilPPD

Hoping to find someone that has run FAHbench &/or has actual data on the EVGA 2060 KO GPUs. They look to be interesting based on $/PPD basis.

Hello @cine_chris! Welcome to the Community.
Gamers Nexus is my go-to when it comes to benchmarking data and technical overview of components. They have a review on the EVGA 2060 KO specifically here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUFRBnJdx3Y
It's a pretty thorough breakdown and highlights how the 2060 KO is different from other 2060 cards. In terms of gaming, the 2060 KO is the same as normal RTX 2060 cards but the 2060 KO is different in that it has advantages in workstation applications.
This is their original review of the 2060 and covers more benchmarks in games: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3427-nvidia-rtx-2060-founders-edition-review-benchmark-vs-vega-56. They also have a video you can watch covering that information, it's embedded on that page. For gaming performance I'd refer to this guide.
I didn't see FAHbench listed in either guide, but the 2060 KO is a strong option at its price point. It's definitely a much stronger value than the other 2060 models since it undercuts their prices by a decent margin. -
Thx @TSTonyV, yes, that was an informative video. I'm not a gamer, but cine-editing, vfx work & F@H have shoved me into the GPU universe. I'm a retired engineer so it's fun for me to look at repurposing old gear for folding platforms and looking at optimizing gear combos for folding. Part of my repurpose strategy is to use 'open-box' MC gear, I'll be picking up the KO Ultra tomorrow

If you do go this route, make sure that you have active cooling on the card with an additional fan of some kind, cooling both the PCB on the back and perhaps provide additional intake airflow for the two fans on the side.
Edited to correct GPU PCB mistake. -
@TSMichaelB I'm a retired engineer &Ace'd thermo, so I have a keen sensitivity to op-temps & thermo-cycling (an arcane fatigue concept). I'm using Afterburner w/ a custom fan profile to minimize temp-cycles and op-temps. Mounting exo-120mm fans to feed in room air. Yes, the KO is running consistently in the 1.1MilPPD range when I've checked it. More importantly, it handles the WUs that the 1660s have been choking on. For me, the MSI 2060 Super has been the best performer. You can see I'm very utilitarian by the Z87 mobo in the image

cine_chris said:@TSMichaelB I found your comments about the KO card to be useful. Combining my impressions with power consumption data from Tom's Hdwr, it's clear to me that the KO isn't an optimal choice for folding. It is the most consistently good GPU that I've tried for folding as it always seems to be hovering around 1.1 milPPD and likely an ideal choice for a mixed gamer/creative user that wants to leverage it's render features.
