Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than T600?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 6,425 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while T600 is a 2021 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 119.7% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 4 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 119.7% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 25.9%. T600 is the newer 2021 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (40W vs 160W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does T600 make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?

Yes. T600 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 (40W vs 160W), 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 119.7% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 25.9%.
