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

  • 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).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 6700M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 10 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • Radeon RX 6700M is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • 18.5% higher power demand at 160W vs 135W.

Radeon RX 6700M

2021

Why buy it

  • 17.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
  • 66.7% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (10 GB vs 6 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 135W instead of 160W, a 25W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR 3 (2023) instead.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon RX 6700M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 17.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2060 instead at 14,114 vs 13,525, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon RX 6700M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 10 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with FSR 3 (2023) and FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023), while GeForce RTX 2060 is limited to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) and no comparable frame-generation support, a 7nm process instead of 12nm, and 36 vs 30 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2060 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce RTX 2060 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Radeon RX 6700M has the stronger long-term case.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the Radeon RX 6700M is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The GeForce RTX 2060 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 2060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 6700M leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
