GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs Radeon R5 M255 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 M255 in our tests.

In our comparison, 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER over the Radeon R5 M255.
