GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER beats the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in gaming performance.

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

In addition, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP has a slightly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER at 175 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
