GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

2019

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 41.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than RTX A5000 Mobile across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 16 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Weaker long-term outlook: RTX A5000 Mobile is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.
❌16.7% higher power demand at 175W vs 150W.

RTX A5000 Mobile

2021

Why buy it

✅22.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (16 GB vs 8 GB).
✅More future proof: Ampere on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 150W instead of 175W, a 25W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 41.3 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER better than RTX A5000 Mobile?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 0.8% higher PassMark G3D performance, DLSS 2 Super Resolution, and 272 vs 192 Tensor cores. It also comes from 2019 instead of 2021, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

RTX A5000 Mobile is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 16 GB instead of 8 GB, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 8nm process instead of 12nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $399 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. RTX A5000 Mobile is the newer 2021 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (150W vs 175W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does RTX A5000 Mobile make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?

Yes. RTX A5000 Mobile is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (150W vs 175W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER currently gives you 0.8% higher G3D Mark and lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
