GeForce RTX 2060 vs RTX A4500 Embedded GPU: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

  • 17.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 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).
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 4 GB).

Trade-offs

  • RTX A4500 Embedded GPU is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • 100% higher power demand at 160W vs 80W.

RTX A4500 Embedded GPU

2022

Why buy it

  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 80W instead of 160W, a 80W reduction.
  • More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2060 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 40.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 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 and by 66.3% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 8,485), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
RTX A4500 Embedded GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 8nm process instead of 12nm, 46 vs 30 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2019. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
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 some 1440p headroom, RTX A4500 Embedded GPU has the stronger long-term case.
