About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

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

  • +190.9% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 66.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 24.3 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $200 MSRP).
  • 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

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H

2020

Why buy it

  • Costs $149 less on MSRP ($200 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • More future proof: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,852 vs 14,114).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 24.3 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($200 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 4,852 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H 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 190.9% 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 74.5% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $200 MSRP, and you are getting 190.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 66.7%. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H is the newer 2020 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?
Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H 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 and staying closer to $200 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 190.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 66.7%.
