GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 5.97 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER at 175 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is better than the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop.
