Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 6,012 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is a 2022 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?
Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2019, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), and a 7nm process instead of 12nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
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 $251 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $600 MSRP, and you are getting 134.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 303.6%. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is the newer 2022 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (100W vs 160W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?
Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS 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 (100W vs 160W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $600 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 134.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 303.6%.
