NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Released in 2019, the GeForce RTX 2060 is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a very good card for gaming with a score of 50%.

The GeForce RTX 2060 has 6 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 328 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 192 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce RTX 2060 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1365 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1680 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce RTX 2060 supports up to DirectX 12.00. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.60 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 160 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
