Trade-offs

❌966.7% higher power demand at 160W vs 15W.

Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U

2020

Why buy it

✅Draws 15W instead of 160W, a 145W reduction.
✅More future proof: Vega (2017−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (2,602 vs 14,114).
❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2020-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 40.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 2,602 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 442.4% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of Unknown, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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 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 442.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U is the newer 2020 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (15W vs 160W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?

Yes. Radeon RX Vega 11 Ryzen 7 3700U is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 160W), and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 442.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
