GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

✅+1266.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 487.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 6.9 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅1100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 512 MB).
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌220% higher power demand at 160W vs 50W.
❌22800% longer card at 229mm vs 1mm.

Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual

2013

Why buy it

✅Costs $199 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
✅Draws 50W instead of 160W, a 110W reduction.
✅Measures 1mm instead of 229mm, a 228mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,033 vs 14,114).
❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.9 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 1,033 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual is a 2013 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 2013, 1266.3% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 512 MB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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 1266.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon HD 8570D + HD 8570 Dual is 2013 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM, 1,033 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
