About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • 419.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 174.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 14.8 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 255.6% higher power demand at 160W vs 45W.

Quadro K620

2014

Why buy it

  • Costs $199 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Draws 45W instead of 160W, a 115W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2060 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2014-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 14.8 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Quadro K620?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 419.7% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 2,213 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro K620 is a 2014 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2014, 537.8% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 2 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 2060 is about 132.7% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 419.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 537.8% higher G3D Mark. Quadro K620 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Quadro K620 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro K620 is 2014 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 2,213 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
