Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Intel Arc Pro B60?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 17.0% more FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 13,807 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Intel Arc Pro B60 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?
Intel Arc Pro B60 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 the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2060 is about $151 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $500 MSRP, and you are getting 17.0% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 46.5%. Intel Arc Pro B60 is the newer 2025 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Intel Arc Pro B60 make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060?
Yes. Intel Arc Pro B60 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 $500 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 2060. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 2060 currently gives you 2.2% higher G3D Mark and 17.0% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 46.5%.
