CMP 30HX vs GeForce RTX 2060: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

CMP 30HX

2021

Why buy it

  • Draws 125W instead of 160W, a 35W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,892 vs 14,114).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 128.9% HIGHER MSRP
    $799 MSRPvs$349 MSRP

GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • +188.5% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $450 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Delivers 560.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 6.1 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 28% higher power demand at 160W vs 125W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 188.5% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 4,892), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 6 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $450 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $799, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 560.5% (40.4 vs 6.1), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
