GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) vs Radeon Instinct MI60: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile)

2023

Why buy it

  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 115W instead of 300W, a 185W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Instinct MI60 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 1.9 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $6,000 MSRP).

Radeon Instinct MI60

2018

Why buy it

  • 0.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.9 vs 0 G3D/$ ($6,000 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).

Trade-offs

  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 160.9% higher power demand at 300W vs 115W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Instinct MI60 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 0.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.5% in PassMark G3D (11,638 vs 11,353), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 5nm process instead of 7nm, 24 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2018. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Instinct MI60 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon Instinct MI60 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) has the stronger long-term case.
