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.

GeForce RTX 2060 vs T400: 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

  • +291.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 101.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 20.1 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $180 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 433.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 30W.

T400

2021

Why buy it

  • Costs $169 less on MSRP ($180 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 160W, a 130W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (3,609 vs 14,114).
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 20.1 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($180 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 291.1% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 3,609), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 6 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $169 more expensive on MSRP at $349 vs $180, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 101.7% (40.4 vs 20.1), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
