GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

✅+15.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 160W instead of 300W, a 140W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU

2018

Why buy it

✅33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (12,258 vs 14,114).
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 40.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
❌87.5% higher power demand at 300W vs 160W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 15.1% higher PassMark G3D performance and DLSS 2 Super Resolution. It also comes from 2019 instead of 2018, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

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 2018, 15.1% more raw performance headroom, the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling, and a 12nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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 priced in an unclear MSRP range at $349 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 15.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 2060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
