Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 6700M better than GeForce RTX 2060?
Yes. Radeon RX 6700M is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 17.6% more average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data, 4.4% higher PassMark G3D performance, and 10 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM. It also comes from 2021 instead of 2019, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon RX 6700M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 10 GB instead of 6 GB, better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 7nm process instead of 12nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
Radeon RX 6700M is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $349 MSRP, and you are getting 17.6% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (13,525 vs 14,114). GeForce RTX 2060 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, Radeon RX 6700M is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, GeForce RTX 2060 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.
Is GeForce RTX 2060 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $349 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, Radeon RX 6700M 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 6700M is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. 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 6700M relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
