RTX 2060 SUPER vs 5060 Ti: Real Game Test Results

01

Introduction

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a graphics card released by NVIDIA in 2019. At the time, it offered excellent value for money and was very popular among users. So far, it remains the last generation of mid-range graphics cards to feature a “SUPER” variant, and its 256-bit memory interface is fondly remembered. The RTX 30 and RTX 40 series mid-range models do not include a “SUPER” version, and whether the RTX 50 series will have one remains uncertain.

Although it is a six-year-old product, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER still delivers solid performance and can handle most mainstream games smoothly. However, some users may be considering an upgrade. This article compares the gaming performance of the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti to evaluate how much performance improvement can be expected when upgrading from the former to the latter, providing a reference for interested users.
