GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 2060 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 2060 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 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 at 160 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 5060 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 2060.
