GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R5 240 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 240 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 2060 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R5 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 at 160 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2060 over the Radeon R5 240.
