GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

✅Costs $1,850 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $2,199 MSRP).
✅Delivers 470.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 7.1 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $2,199 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs Unknown).
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (14,114 vs 15,597).

Radeon Pro Vega II

2019

Why buy it

✅+10.5% higher PassMark G3D performance.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2019-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro Vega II better than GeForce RTX 2060?

Yes. Radeon Pro Vega II is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 15,597 vs 14,114 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro Vega II is a 2019 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 model from an older generation with DLSS Super Resolution. 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 more VRAM at 6 GB instead of Unknown and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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?

Radeon Pro Vega II is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro Vega II is about 530.1% more expensive on MSRP at $2,199 MSRP versus $349 MSRP, and you are getting 10.5% higher G3D Mark. GeForce RTX 2060 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does GeForce RTX 2060 make more sense than Radeon Pro Vega II?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 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 lower power draw (160W vs 475W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $349 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon Pro Vega II. The trade-off is that Radeon Pro Vega II currently gives you 10.5% higher G3D Mark. GeForce RTX 2060 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
