GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile)

2023

Why buy it

✅1.1% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 115W instead of 250W, a 135W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 24 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.3 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $4,999 MSRP).

Quadro M6000 24GB

2016

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 2.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($4,999 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (24 GB vs 6 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 24 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌117.4% higher power demand at 250W vs 115W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) better than Quadro M6000 24GB?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) averages 1.1% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 11,353 vs 11,625 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) is a 2023 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro M6000 24GB is a 2016 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 (Mobile) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016, better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 5nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 2060 (Mobile) is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $4,999 MSRP, and you are getting 1.1% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (11,353 vs 11,625). Quadro M6000 24GB really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Quadro M6000 24GB still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro M6000 24GB is 2016 hardware with 24 GB of VRAM, 11,625 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
