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

GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • +1084.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $351 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $700 MSRP).
  • Delivers 2274.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 1.7 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $700 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 4 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 135.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 68W.
  • 15.7% longer card at 229mm vs 198mm.

NVS 810

2015

Why buy it

  • Draws 68W instead of 160W, a 92W reduction.
  • Measures 198mm instead of 229mm, a 31mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,192 vs 14,114).
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • 2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 100.6% HIGHER MSRP

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 1084.1% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 1,192), 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 4 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 28nm, 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 $351 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $700, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 2274.9% (40.4 vs 1.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
