GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 460 (móvel): Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

  • 190.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 2 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 252.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $349 MSRPvs$99 MSRP
  • 190.9% higher power demand at 160W vs 55W.

Radeon RX 460 (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

  • Costs $250 less on MSRP ($99 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Draws 55W instead of 160W, a 105W 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 FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • 2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 190.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 244.2% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 4,100), so the answer here is pretty clean.
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 2 GB of VRAM, a 12nm process instead of 14nm, 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon RX 460 (móvel) makes the most sense to buy today. It is $250 cheaper on MSRP at $99 vs $349, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 2.4% (41.4 vs 40.4), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon RX 460 (móvel) is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, GeForce RTX 2060 has the stronger long-term case.
