Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER better than Radeon VII?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 16,477 vs 16,308 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the overall package: you are getting DLSS Super Resolution, plus much lower power draw (175W vs 295W).

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

Radeon VII is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 16 GB instead of 8 GB, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), and a 7nm 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 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $399 MSRP. GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is about $300 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $699 MSRP, and you are getting 1.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon VII is the more forward-looking alternative, so it still has a real case if you care more about future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon VII make more sense than GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?

Yes. Radeon VII 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 future-proofing and staying closer to $699 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 1.0% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 77%.
