Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Arc B570?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Arc B570 averages 32.4% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 14,060 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Arc B570 is a 2025 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?

Arc B570 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 6 GB, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 5nm 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 is about 59.4% more expensive on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $219 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.4% higher G3D Mark. Arc B570 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 2060 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Arc B570 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.

When does Arc B570 make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?

Yes. Arc B570 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, future-proofing, and staying closer to $219 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 0.4% higher G3D Mark and lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. Arc B570 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
