GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • 52.9% more average FPS across 26 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $2,150 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $2,499 MSRP).
  • Delivers 1022.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 3.6 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $2,499 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

  • 60% higher power demand at 160W vs 100W.

Quadro P5000 (móvel)

2017

Why buy it

  • Draws 100W instead of 160W, a 60W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2060 across 26 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Quadro P5000 (móvel)?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 52.9% more FPS across 26 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 9,000 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro P5000 (móvel) is a 2017 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 2017, 56.8% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 4 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 today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2060 is about $2,150 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $2,499 MSRP, and you are getting 52.9% more estimated average FPS across 26 tracked games in our benchmark data and 56.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 1022.9%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Quadro P5000 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Quadro P5000 (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $2,499 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 2060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
