GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • 136.7% more average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 373.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 8.5 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 272.1% higher power demand at 160W vs 43W.

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G

2025

Why buy it

  • Costs $50 less on MSRP ($299 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Draws 43W instead of 160W, a 117W reduction.
  • More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 6nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 136.7% more FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 2,553 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is a 2025 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 452.8% 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. 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 about 16.7% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $299 MSRP, and you are getting 136.7% more estimated average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data and 452.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 373.6%. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is the newer 2025 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (43W vs 160W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?
Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (43W vs 160W), and staying closer to $299 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 452.8% higher G3D Mark and 136.7% more estimated average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 373.6%.
