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

  • 157.4% more average FPS across 47 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).
  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
  • 534.5% HIGHER MSRP
    $349 MSRPvs$55 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 40.4 vs 87.3 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
  • 146.2% higher power demand at 160W vs 65W.

Radeon RX 560X (móvel)

2018

Why buy it

  • Costs $294 less on MSRP ($55 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Delivers 115.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 87.3 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon RX 560X (móvel)?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 157.4% more FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 4,800 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is a 2018 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. 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 2018, 194.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 2 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation. 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 about 534.5% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $55 MSRP, and you are getting 157.4% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data and 194.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 2060 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 560X (móvel) still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.
Is Radeon RX 560X (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $55 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 2060 earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is support for FSR Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The GeForce RTX 2060 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 2060 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 560X (móvel) relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
