My daughter is running a 2060 on a 1080p 144hz monitor playing boulder's gate, overwatch and monster hunter and is perfectly happy with her GPUs performance right now.
I still have a 2060. It's been running everything I want to (minus the unoptimized early access games). And I don't plan to change it until I can have a budget CPU that performs like a 12700k and a budget GPU that performs like a 3070.
7500f and 6700 xt are pretty budgety options, but prob dont upgrade till 8600 xt as amd price to performace going to be insane there when they only focus on budget cards
@@antipathy17 Usually the i3 have the same performance as an i7 from 3 generations ago. Or at the very least the i5, like the possible 15400f could outperform the 12700k
@@luciano12sa what games do you play that you will need it? also fsr is almost as good. but personally for me i dont play any game that needs upscaling
The 2060 felt like such a beast when it came out. A 60 class card on par with the last gen 80 class. Imagine if the 5060 was as powerful as a 4080? Unthinkable.
@@elProvos Sadly the 5060 is likely to be only a small step up from the 3060ti and still probably 8gb of VRAM. If you want to stick with Nvidia, maybe go with a 12gb 4070 Super assuming they get a price cut after the 50 series launches. Though personally I think the 4070 is still light on VRAM and may end up in the same situation that 3070 is in now. I think the real sweet spot for Nvidia cards will be the 4070ti Super, which is the cheapest card with 16gb of Vram. Daniel did a video on it recently.
The funny thing is that you just need to change GPU to 3080 or 4070 and this alone will get you huge fps improvement. Got the same 5800x3d and it is a perfect CPU with 3080ti.
My brother has a 2060 Super and the 7800x3d. He's waiting to upgrade his GPU for a bit. But every game he plays, his GPU shoots up to 100% usage and stays there lol.
DLSS is really a clutch way to extend a card's lifespan. Something like 2080 can still do 1440p/medium with DLSS Quality, 6 years after it came out, with a new console gen inbetween.
@@vmafarah9473prob not enough vram for that and honestly DLSS is enough. not a fan of FSR frame gen stability either, barely a fan of DLSS frame gen. The lack input lag is just not great for sometimes
Had my 2060 Super since 2019, been using it for 1440p gaming for about 3 years now, it's got no problems handling things but i feel like it's starting to show its age ever so much. Thinking of upgrading to a 4070 super soon
DLSS is imo the reason why Turing was always the superior pick over RDNA 1. People swear up and down that the 5700XT wasn't such a bad choice for its time, but the furthest away we are removed from their release, the more Turing is able to hang on with DLSS while RDNA 1 has to wait for FSR 3.1 to get a half-decent upscaling technique (and old games aren't gonna be updated to support it) and it has no RT hardware so it'll get harder and harder to just *play* games if they ship with that feature standard.
@@mitsuhhtrue lol dlss was sold as some revolutionary solution which can magically create frames without losing any image quality, then when people actually tried it it looked absolutely disgusting and horrible and looked like half the native res, only with dlss 2 kinda/dlss 3 it started to look good
Incredible video card. I had been using the RTX 2060 with my i7 8700 16gb ram on Windows 10 since 2018 and was still able to play most games at high to ultra settings with no problems. It was CYBERPUNK 2077 which had me using medium and high settings only until 2023 when more games kept me away from ultra settings like STARFIELD and TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER III. Its a beast of a card and even allowed me to play at 1440p with a mix of ultra and high settings for every game before 2023. I just upgraded to a RTX 3080 12gb vram and a i9 12900 k with 32gb ram on Windows 11 Home Edition after seeing your video on the possible tariff on China finally occurring after being delayed for years which prompted my brother who is in I.T. to get me the upgrade i had been planning for over a year looking up parts/pricing to build the system and paying for the parts where i will pay him back over the next few months. So now my previous pc is sitting on the side as a emergency back up which i know i can rely on to play my favorite games from 2023 and earlier while looking forward to play upcoming games like SPACE MARINE 2, ZEPHON, THE WANDERING REALMS etc on my new pc. Thanks Daniel Owen for the always informative and extremely helpful videos and Happy Computing! ☕
My previous GPU was a 2060 Super. Slightly faster than a 2060 and more VRAM. It was pretty decent. The problem was I play pretty much only single-player graphics intensive games, and I use a 1440P ultrawide OLED monitor. So you can see I had to completely rely on DLSS and turning down settings in almost everything. When the 40-series launched I upgraded to a 4090 (alongside an entire new build to go with it). Now I can actually play my games instead of playing with settings. Screw that crap. Couldn't be more satisfied. :)
From what I've heard they're actually pretty close, because the 2060 12GB is pretty much a Super with less bandwidth and the 3060 is not that fast, but I'd like to see that because that's the 2060 I have
Hi Daniel, I appreciate you making a video centered around users who are stuck with the last gen specifically to this card 2060 6GB, given the fact that the recent releases of video cards in the budget or midrange are not delivering price to performance ratio brand new, so we know where we stand. Thank you for always making videos like these.
I have R7 3700x + RTX 2060 & it had started to show performance lag on my 1080p ultrawide monitor. DLSS helped with certain games but still to maintain atleast 60fps was getting tougher. Ray tracing was getting out of question as well. Upgraded GPU to RTX 4070. Now hitting 90-100fps easily at the highest settings with ray tracing.
@@sigurdtw R7 3700x + RTX 4070 Gave me 100fps atleast with Frame Generation Now, 2 weeks back I have upgraded the CPU to R7 5700X3D So, R7 5700X3D + RTX 4070 Easily gives me 150+ fps without frame gen on games like Horizon zero dawn & SW Jedi Survivor on ultra quality mode
Decent for a super budget build, like a kid's computer, if you have one. There's a lot of more capable value cards now, otherwise. I plan to put my 8700k/1070 Ti build back together, and it'll be for running indie games, and loaning out to friends staying over.
You can still get a lot of life out of a 2060 in 2024. Anything that's very latency sensitive, just get Lossless Scaling Frame Generation and you'll hit at least 60 all the time.
i still have a 2060 installed on my pc and it's running everything i want perfectly fine, i play many optimized games with hight settings so it's all good for now, maybe next year will suprise us with newer and more demanding games which will infact make me wanna upgarde to a 40 series card or maybe a newer gen if that's the case
I'm still running it. I only play Apex Legends and Forza Horizon 5 on my PC because I mostly game on my PS5. And it handles these games really well, running both on 1080p Ultra. And it seems to offer comparable performance to a 6600
Had my rtx 2060 till last week and I blasted through re4r and cyberpunk 2077 just fine with playable fps. For me putting mesh/model quality and texture on medium/high and then just put all the shadow to low would give me solid fps, but I had to replace it cause I don't think it can play AAA games in the future.
Core i5 10600 (non K, undervolted, 6x4,4GHz all the time), 16GB DDR 2666MHz @ CL14, RTX 2060 6GB Founders Edition here as a second PC. Still running all games I play (BF 2042 mostly) flawlessly at 1440p medium (60fps+).
Played ultrawide 1080p on my 2060 back in the day. I only played Wow Classic at the time. Not that demanding, but I was happy about my card. Gave the computer to my brother after I upgraded.
I look forward to the 3060 one. I used to have one in my living room/gaming PC. Granted my TV was only 1080P and it was a living room so I'm sitting like 8+ feet from it, but it was a good 1080p/60 card if you used DLSS. PreDogtown DLC, I could hit 60fps with all of the non-PT RT settings turned on in CP2077. PT was 1080P/30, which may be too low for some, but if you have a 1080P TV, 30fps PT CP2077 is way better than the 30fps mode on consoles.
2060 was my first GPU i bought myself while doing my first self built PC. That card was given more shit than it deserved just because the base 2080 and 2070 were letdowns. The 2060 is legitimately as fast as a GTX 1080 and i dont think people till this day even realize that and just compare the whole Turing line up to the 1080 Ti. It’s held up well even with the 6gb of vram and the DLSS comes in clutch. I sure as hell dont have one anymore but my friends have some and theyre definitely goated and held up strong during the mining crazy
We really need a 2060-type of gpu from AMD with RDNA4... good at raster, average at raytracing, with more vram... and cheap. Like the bottom model should have 12gb
Currently running 3060 laptop. Virtually a 2060. Running it to a 4K monitor, was going well until Horizon Forbidden West where 4K is impossible to get enough fps with upsizers. Had to play 1440p and upsizers on top, it looked okay. Okay to play until completion 45fps. But will be delivered 4080 super PC this week. Now I should use my 4K to full extent. But yes, I am still amazed how much my 3060 laptop can still play. 1080p no probs (maybe need upscalers), but finally starting to get to the stage newest games having difficulty playing and looking reasonable 4K. In that I can still play Cyberpunk 2077 60fps at 4K and it still looks okay. To me, CP 2077 in high settings 1080p looks worse than 4K in close to poor settings. Yes the vram limitation is the main reason moving towards a 4080 Super desktop. It’s the worst hitting that wall.
tbf unless you're getting something thats larger than 32 inches you should go 1440p 170hz/240hz, the 4070ti super is gonna shine best with RT at 1440p and get high refresh but still not be completely overkill for it (I use my 7900xt at 1440p 170hz)
It is a bit too late to consider 4070 Ti S. We will probably get 5070 Ti in just about 6 months, which should be a bit faster than 4080 S in raster and significantly faster in RT. It would be a more appropriate 4K card. 4070 Ti S is already a bit too alow for 4K res, unless you are ready to use agressive DLSS. presets.
I went from playing in 24" in 1080p with 970/3070 to 75" in 4K with 4070Ti S and it's incredible. Actually I got the GPU upgrade just because 3070 couldn't handle 4K so I used it only for 6 months. Currently I am playing Alan Wake 2 at max settings with path tracing and it looks and feels pretty good with DLSS P and FG. And since games like these require even 4090 to use aggressive upscaling, it doesn't really matter. If you wanna wait for the new generation, only the 5090 will offer you a big improvement in 4K because some games at the moment make 4090 a 1080p card.
Still running mine, great in 1440p at medium settings (EA WRC, Starfield, DR2, BEAMNG) and MSFS on high/ultra with a 3700x. Also great for development, music, productivity. You just need to be very careful about the driver version you choose, as NVidia drivers are a total crapshoot now and can seriously screw your PC up if you get an incompatible release. 551.86 is working well for me with the RTX 2060. A great GPU, a real workhorse that has stood the test of time. Still waiting for AM4 5700x3d and 4070x prices to drop before possibly upgrading for a last AM4 run.
Honestly still rocking a 2070 super paired with a ryzen 5 5600x and yah it’s no 4090 but it still performs very well and on overwatch on high and 144fps locked, barely hits 54c, and is overall totally fine for my needs atm
Been playing Starfield with my 2060 and it is barely playable. Recently been looking for an upgrade but anything under $500 does not seem worth it and who can afford $1,000 GPUs. Why are they still limiting the Memory on the 40 series? When a 4060 only has 8gb and 128bit interface, why spend the $ for something that will still need upgraded in a few years?
I've been playing Starfield on mine and it's great at 1440p on medium settings. 6GB is fine for it. Works best with FSR3 and FG on. You need to tweak some of the settings. You also need to be very careful about which driver version you use, they are very unreliable atm and can easily cause game crashes and PC lockups. 551.86 is working well for me, yymv. Test them to get the most stable version and stick with that.
Aged much better I managed to use DlssTweaks ultra quality 1080p in latest games or 1440p dlss balanced and using optimized settings and fsr3 frame gen mod
Nice to see a video on the 2060, it's in a kind of limbo at the moment....not old enough for some content and not new/relevant enough for a lot of the rest. I remember building my son's pc in 2021 and bidding £400 ($480ish) on ebay for a used 2060, getting outbid by £20 and thinking things were just effing ridiculous. Ended up buying the newly released rx 6600 for £420. Didn't think that was much less ridiculous but 3060s were going for well over £500 used!
I like the video, im student in third world country where is complicate to buy last gen components, last year i achive my first gpu of all time that is rtx 2060 6gb and this probably would my unique gpu for almost 6 years or more, im happy that i can play all game i want in good quality, and newer games in lowest setting seems to see really good, more including my monitor is 1440x900 75hz, my next step to the pc world is change my 3400g to 5600, reducing the bottleneck i have
Once it has DLSS, even the worst GPU is fine. My 3050 6gb is super fine for most things. These days Low + a few settings at medium is fine, it isn't like 2005 where low turns off half the game. Right now RUclipsrs and game companies are just fear mongering to upsell. Oh no, the Vram! Y'all seriously don't know the days when 640x480was high end graphics and 4mb vram was the business. This is coming from somebody with many high end PC's who just plays on whatever's Infront of him.
I can attest personally, that for the games I play 99% of the time, the 2060 that I still have is still enough, but if I want things like Ratchet, I rather go with my 4070 instead. And even then, it's the 1% time...that I might play once or twice in a lifetime., so yeah. Take that for what you will.
You should really try getting average lowest frame rates instead of "1% lows & 01.% lows". The total frames that you ever 1% or 0.1% out of 30 minute of game play is so small you'll never actually notice them.
@@suparibhau If you do the math for 1% of 30 minutes it's pretty small amount of time. Thats why I said average low frame rate, will give you a better idea of playability average frame rate can be low like 45fps while 1% lows are dips can be 5-25fps in certain areas that are temporary like 30 seconds up to 300 minutes. while the 45fps will be over a longer time of game play like 5 to 10 minutes, which is more noticeable.
@@kevinerbs2778 Yeah, and those 1% frames being slow is really noticeable. There's a reason why for the last decade 0.1 and 1% lows are introduced in every benchmarks since it's the most accurate a way to quantify stuttering. You can literally try it yourself by capping the frame so that your frame time graph becomes constant. The gameplay becomes instantly smooth compared to uncapped frame rate which even if higher will feel stuttery
@@suparibhau Percentage is part a full total your calculations are completely wrong. If you play a game for 3 minutes your total number of 1% low is higher than if you play a game for 3 minutes.
I am still using my 1st Laptop, a Legion5 from January 2021. When I bought it, I was reluctant over it 'only' having an RTX 2060 (right before the 3xxx series was released, hence my deal) For contrast my PC uses an RTX 3060ti. I use them both equally, and 90% of the time (for gaming), which one I am using doesn't really matter to me (I have an 1440p external monitor for the Laptop I have a 4k {set for 1440p} for the PC). I love my 'old' Legion 5!
Then again, the only game I have that makes the laptop struggle is, 'DCS Combat Flight Simulator'. I don't have the games mentioned in the difficult benchmarks.
@@1farin On PC I'd definitely go AMD for both the processor and Video Card (My PC has an AMD 5600g and RTX 3060ti) I eventually want to upgrade to a Ryzen 7-5800x, and though I am happy with my 3060ti, if I were to do it again, I would have gone- RX 6700xt.
If you are going used, and are looking for 2060 s, I would keep my eye open for any AMD- RX 5700xt and RTX 2060 super. Also on the desktop 2060s, look for the 12GB model
The best way to get near 60fps in Starfield is to play Fallout 4... Or Outer Worlds, or No Man's Sky, or Elite Dangerous, or Star Citizen... I don't think it's just that all modern games are bad and badly optimized, it's that we've seen it all before and they aren't doing anything new. That's why Star Citizen is so interesting, the crowd funding, constant improvements, and actually achieving a scale that hasn't been seen before (albeit slowly). Even with all the bugs it's still more interesting than Starfield.
2080ti is still going strong as mid range GPU. 11GB of Vram is perfect for recent games. You will get 20-40% more performance than PS5 in rasterization, even better RT, and DLSS is much better than FSR.
Using a laptop with a 2060 as a standin for my broken 1070, it survived a powerspike and a fall down the stair but now it's finally time to say goodbye. Really can't complain about the 2060 tho, performs way above what I was expecting, especially given it's a laptop.
2060s was having a good experience overall but just wanted more for futureproofing since not sure if 5060 or ti will be x8 again and I have b450 so went with 4070 to not change psu, beast card, getting +100%, and undervolted under 150w
I can run some new games with high-ultra at 1080p with DLSS upscaling and hit over 100 fps but it really depends on the game, The First Descendent definitely has some issues even with most of everything on medium or low. I think it really depends on how optimized the game is for the RTX 2060 lineup.
It is just 5/10% slower than a 6600 or 5700 non xt, while having dlss and superior rt, however a 2060super would be better just for the 2gb vram more, and bcz it is even better than a 5700 or 6600.
Aah the video i never expected or wanted but too happy to see pop up coz i have a 2060 and an i7 9700. I consider it my own "next gen console" kinda my series s🎉❤
Depending on what you play. Some games do not have much demand for gpu. But yeah 4gb vram must have 2020 year... And to be fair each gpu from NV XX50 is trash from start so no hurt feelings.
And when you look realistically you literally have at least 10 000 games that are really good and worth playing that you didnt play. Even with that POS graphic card you have sooooo much to do its actually insane that ppl upgrade at all.
@@mitsuhh yeah i do understand that. But there should be a point where less and less ppl need to do that. Like i am totally fine playing freelancer instead of starfield. Maybe thats old game and moded graphics are not good enough for some ppl BUT there will be a point where graphics are just good enough and all you care is good game. Personally i got to that threshold few years now. So many games i want to play and i dont even have time and i dont even need new modern pc for them. I just dont have time.
Very interesting video! I just happen to have the very same GPU you tested in my rig right now. There's no way I'd go for any modern titles without an upgrade. I do have one planned and it's not that great a leap, but, it should get me by with what I want to play. My next rig will have a 2080ti Founders Edition which has 11gb. It'll be coupled with a 5700X and 32gb of RAM, I'm staying at 1080p so I should get something decent going. I bought a load of Assassin's Creed games in a Steam sale so they will keep me going till any later stuff is in other Steam sales. It'd make for an interesting video to see how a 2080ti copes with modern games. Thanks for sharing!
You don’t have to consider much of this if you don’t really play the latest in today’s games. I have a lot of last gen and classic games that do very well on my 2060. 👌😎😆
I feel like these videos would always be good with an extra card like the 2060s just to show the difference in a minor performance boost + extra VRAM considering the 2nd hand cost difference is so minor these days. Also had no idea they made a 12gb version of the 2060, never seen it.
You can get a 5600 none xt and pair it with a 7700XT and be more than ok. We don't know for sure if the 5060 will have 12 gb of VRAM at start, it only has a 128 bit bus, so 8 is more likely. But GDDR 7 could could have 3 GB modules, thus we may see 12 gb VRAM on a later version of 5060. However!!! I want to point out that, if you keep your current motherboard, you might have PCIE 3.0, which WILL bottleneck cards with GDDR 7 up to a point simply due to the speed limit coupled with the narrow buswidth. RDNA 4 will still use GDDR 6, N44 will have a 256 bit bus with 16 gb of VRAM, but that is a 1440p card of I ever saw one. If you pair it with a 5700 X3D / 5800 X3D it will be ok.
rx 5700 aged a lot better and has 8gb. While amd drivers have their own issues they seem to do a better job at supporting older cards, margins keep getting bigger in newer games
eh.. rx 5700 is the oldest series card AMD still supports at all, next time they slash driver support in a year or two it will be that card. Meanwhile similiar aged Nvidia cards will enjoy driver support for 4 more years..
@@TheLongWind yeah but it can run meaningful dlss. Also you would be surprised on stuff it can actually do. Like for example Minecraft rtx and some older remix games.
The Valve hardware survey isn’t exactly scientific, but if there’s any modicum of truth to it, most people just want to be able to play the games without spending a mortgage payment.
It would be interesting to see a gtx 1070 ti vs 2060 benchmark. They had similar performance at launch. What matters more now: newer architecture or the extra vram?
Little to hard. For epic settings maybe yes. But for normal gaming 12gb vram is still good for 1440p but 16gb is future proof. For 4k it depends for 4090 you need more then 20gb vram but 4080 super with 16gb vram is still good but why play 4K it is wasting money a lot.
I rarely exceed 12GB for 4k, but if you are referring to having a card that never runs out of VRAM no matter if you downscale etc - then you're probably right
Damn a 2060 must be seriously struggling these days. Realistically you won't be playing in higher resolutions than 1080p at low settings in most current games
This was my dream gpu when i was still in uni. i think it sells around the same price in the secondhand market as the RX6600, and that is without a doubt the better option. As someone who was playing 720p
i got gtx 1060maxQ laptop, shit runs the entire keyboard at finger burning hot if i dare put Elden Ring at 1080p resolution low settings, been playing at 800x450p 30-45fps. horrendous experience one of these days, imma go all out and build rtx 4070super pc, waiting on 5000s series too see how they are and if they lower previous gen cards by good amount
RTX 2060 now that's slow today for modern games at 1080p Ultra, I say that having a RX 5700 XT and RTX 2080 which were faster GPUs, and even my 5700XT requires that I tune every little ounce out of it so it can stay above 60FPS.
Sorry if I offended anyone. My kids use a 750ti and Rx480 4gb. 2060 is great for lighter games and will run 99.9% of games in the last 20 years. just not modern AAA titles like being tested in this video.
I personally noticed myself be a better gamer on my 6800xt rather than my 2060 purely due to a constant fps and better 1%lows. In shooters it makes a difference. My 2060 couldn’t even play shooters at 1440p that’s why I upgraded, pathetic.
It’s seems that many UE5 titles are 1) better at vram management with higher quality texture settings 2) needs beefy GPU performance to get decent fps (imo RTX 4070/70-Super for 1080p or 1440p gaming w/ DLSS). I feel we need to see at least 40-50% fps performance boost in the RTX50-series gpus over the current 40-series. Saying that to be adequate for the largest game compatibility we need in next Gen GPUs’ and to cater for Frame Generation and Ray Tracing: - 12GB on a 60-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4070/70-Super performance) - 16gb on a 70-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4080/80-Super performance) - 20GB on a 80-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4090Ti (RTX 4090+25% performance) - 24GB on a 90-class / Titan GPU (at minimum RTX 4090+60% performance)
My daughter is running a 2060 on a 1080p 144hz monitor playing boulder's gate, overwatch and monster hunter and is perfectly happy with her GPUs performance right now.
I still have a 2060. It's been running everything I want to (minus the unoptimized early access games). And I don't plan to change it until I can have a budget CPU that performs like a 12700k and a budget GPU that performs like a 3070.
7500f and 6700 xt are pretty budgety options, but prob dont upgrade till 8600 xt as amd price to performace going to be insane there when they only focus on budget cards

It really just depends on what you do. If you are aiming for high-fps e-sports titles, it is not a terrible combination.
2060 Super is still good for 1080p with Dlss.
The funny thing is that you just need to change GPU to 3080 or 4070 and this alone will get you huge fps improvement. Got the same 5800x3d and it is a perfect CPU with 3080ti.
My brother has a 2060 Super and the 7800x3d. He's waiting to upgrade his GPU for a bit. But every game he plays, his GPU shoots up to 100% usage and stays there lol.
I feel u I got a 2060 super oc and a 5950x lol
DLSS is really a clutch way to extend a card's lifespan. Something like 2080 can still do 1440p/medium with DLSS Quality, 6 years after it came out, with a new console gen inbetween.
DLSS with FSR FRAME gen both at same time.
@@vmafarah9473prob not enough vram for that and honestly DLSS is enough. not a fan of FSR frame gen stability either, barely a fan of DLSS frame gen. The lack input lag is just not great for sometimes
Also Lossless Scaling for FG, I think it takes a bit less VRAM than FSR FG. Like
Had my 2060 Super since 2019, been using it for 1440p gaming for about 3 years now, it's got no problems handling things but i feel like it's starting to show its age ever so much. Thinking of upgrading to a 4070 super soon
Same although it is preferable to go for the 4070 super since it has better value and is a bit better
DLSS is imo the reason why Turing was always the superior pick over RDNA 1. People swear up and down that the 5700XT wasn't such a bad choice for its time, but the furthest away we are removed from their release, the more Turing is able to hang on with DLSS while RDNA 1 has to wait for FSR 3.1 to get a half-decent upscaling technique (and old games aren't gonna be updated to support it) and it has no RT hardware so it'll get harder and harder to just *play* games if they ship with that feature standard.
but DLSS 1 was complete garbage
@@mitsuhhtrue lol dlss was sold as some revolutionary solution which can magically create frames without losing any image quality, then when people actually tried it it looked absolutely disgusting and horrible and looked like half the native res, only with dlss 2 kinda/dlss 3 it started to look good
8:45 damn shots fired 😅
Incredible video card. I had been using the RTX 2060 with my i7 8700 16gb ram on Windows 10 since 2018 and was still able to play most games at high to ultra settings with no problems. It was CYBERPUNK 2077 which had me using medium and high settings only until 2023 when more games kept me away from ultra settings like STARFIELD and TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER III. Its a beast of a card and even allowed me to play at 1440p with a mix of ultra and high settings for every game before 2023.
I just upgraded to a RTX 3080 12gb vram and a i9 12900 k with 32gb ram on Windows 11 Home Edition after seeing your video on the possible tariff on China finally occurring after being delayed for years which prompted my brother who is in I.T. to get me the upgrade i had been planning for over a year looking up parts/pricing to build the system and paying for the parts where i will pay him back over the next few months. So now my previous pc is sitting on the side as a emergency back up which i know i can rely on to play my favorite games from 2023 and earlier while looking forward to play upcoming games like SPACE MARINE 2, ZEPHON, THE WANDERING REALMS etc on my new pc.
Thanks Daniel Owen for the always informative and extremely helpful videos and Happy Computing! ☕
Used the 2060 super to play games at 1440p for years and now getting 4080 super
Same, gamer 😎
Oof. Massive upgrade
4080 super is a 4k gpu, will you be getting a 4k monitor?
@@obeyobay9146 why would he force himself to upgrade year on year because of gamic resolution.
@@newfaith912 chill dawg I just asked if he’s planning on getting a 4k monitor because he got a 4k gpu
My previous GPU was a 2060 Super. Slightly faster than a 2060 and more VRAM. It was pretty decent.
The problem was I play pretty much only single-player graphics intensive games, and I use a 1440P ultrawide OLED monitor. So you can see I had to completely rely on DLSS and turning down settings in almost everything.
When the 40-series launched I upgraded to a 4090 (alongside an entire new build to go with it). Now I can actually play my games instead of playing with settings. Screw that crap. Couldn't be more satisfied. :)
Another idea: 2060 12GB versus 3060 12GB
From what I've heard they're actually pretty close, because the 2060 12GB is pretty much a Super with less bandwidth and the 3060 is not that fast, but I'd like to see that because that's the 2060 I have
Thanks for your testing!
I was shocked a bit and pleased when I saw my current GPU in your video title.
Hi Daniel, I appreciate you making a video centered around users who are stuck with the last gen specifically to this card 2060 6GB, given the fact that the recent releases of video cards in the budget or midrange are not delivering price to performance ratio brand new, so we know where we stand. Thank you for always making videos like these.
I actually think it is always interesting to see how older GPUs perform in a lot of games and think it is really cool to see it
I have R7 3700x + RTX 2060 & it had started to show performance lag on my 1080p ultrawide monitor. DLSS helped with certain games but still to maintain atleast 60fps was getting tougher. Ray tracing was getting out of question as well.
Upgraded GPU to RTX 4070.
Now hitting 90-100fps easily at the highest settings with ray tracing.
What is your CPU? With new GPU 4070
@@sigurdtw R7 3700x + RTX 4070
Gave me 100fps atleast with Frame Generation
Now, 2 weeks back I have upgraded the CPU to R7 5700X3D

Easily gives me 150+ fps without frame gen on games like Horizon zero dawn & SW Jedi Survivor on ultra quality mode

just replaced mine because it started black screen, could be drivers. Now rx6750
@@Yeolde777 damn thats sucks, but 6750 is also a good gpu, also its pretty good price to performance
Decent for a super budget build, like a kid's computer, if you have one. There's a lot of more capable value cards now, otherwise. I plan to put my 8700k/1070 Ti build back together, and it'll be for running indie games, and loaning out to friends staying over.
You can go for a ryzen 55000 + 6700XT combo and be more than ok for 1080p for years to come.
Before I went to a 4070 ti S. I used to maximize my 2060 Super. I loved that card
You can still get a lot of life out of a 2060 in 2024. Anything that's very latency sensitive, just get Lossless Scaling Frame Generation and you'll hit at least 60 all the time.
that part you mentioned about comparing 2060, 3060 & 4060 together. i guess we can all agree that it would be interesting to see
i still have a 2060 installed on my pc and it's running everything i want perfectly fine, i play many optimized games with hight settings so it's all good for now, maybe next year will suprise us with newer and more demanding games which will infact make me wanna upgarde to a 40 series card or maybe a newer gen if that's the case
Untill last week ive been using my 8 years old gtx 1070. What a legend of a card... now into a 4070s, grabbed at super sales at 550 euros.
I'm still running it. I only play Apex Legends and Forza Horizon 5 on my PC because I mostly game on my PS5. And it handles these games really well, running both on 1080p Ultra. And it seems to offer comparable performance to a 6600
I love these bemchmark, threshold videos and your clear ability to relay the messages throughout.
We need more teacher types that understand the tech
Had my rtx 2060 till last week and I blasted through re4r and cyberpunk 2077 just fine with playable fps. For me putting mesh/model quality and texture on medium/high and then just put all the shadow to low would give me solid fps, but I had to replace it cause I don't think it can play AAA games in the future.
Core i5 10600 (non K, undervolted, 6x4,4GHz all the time), 16GB DDR 2666MHz @ CL14, RTX 2060 6GB Founders Edition here as a second PC.
Still running all games I play (BF 2042 mostly) flawlessly at 1440p medium (60fps+).
Played ultrawide 1080p on my 2060 back in the day. I only played Wow Classic at the time. Not that demanding, but I was happy about my card. Gave the computer to my brother after I upgraded.
Still rocking my 2070 super :D
Same
A bunch of my friends still have their 2070s and love them lol
im waiting for the games to be in more 'pleasing to watch' state, and start adding more song
i still run a 2080 with i7 10700k and it does still well. i will mothball this pc once my new one comes in a week. still a good mashine.
I look forward to the 3060 one. I used to have one in my living room/gaming PC. Granted my TV was only 1080P and it was a living room so I'm sitting like 8+ feet from it, but it was a good 1080p/60 card if you used DLSS. PreDogtown DLC, I could hit 60fps with all of the non-PT RT settings turned on in CP2077. PT was 1080P/30, which may be too low for some, but if you have a 1080P TV, 30fps PT CP2077 is way better than the 30fps mode on consoles.
Was looking into this card today. I could probably just manage with this gpu
2060 was my first GPU i bought myself while doing my first self built PC. That card was given more shit than it deserved just because the base 2080 and 2070 were letdowns. The 2060 is legitimately as fast as a GTX 1080 and i dont think people till this day even realize that and just compare the whole Turing line up to the 1080 Ti. It’s held up well even with the 6gb of vram and the DLSS comes in clutch. I sure as hell dont have one anymore but my friends have some and theyre definitely goated and held up strong during the mining crazy
We really need a 2060-type of gpu from AMD with RDNA4... good at raster, average at raytracing, with more vram... and cheap. Like the bottom model should have 12gb
rx 6800 16gb non xt
@@CaptainScorpio246800/6800XTs are great value on the used market rn. You can get a ton of performance for the price
I love entry level gpu revisit videos. Can you do other cads as well? 3050, 6600, 6600xt, 6700xt, 3060ti and more?
Currently running 3060 laptop. Virtually a 2060. Running it to a 4K monitor, was going well until Horizon Forbidden West where 4K is impossible to get enough fps with upsizers. Had to play 1440p and upsizers on top, it looked okay. Okay to play until completion 45fps. But will be delivered 4080 super PC this week. Now I should use my 4K to full extent.
But yes, I am still amazed how much my 3060 laptop can still play. 1080p no probs (maybe need upscalers), but finally starting to get to the stage newest games having difficulty playing and looking reasonable 4K. In that I can still play Cyberpunk 2077 60fps at 4K and it still looks okay. To me, CP 2077 in high settings 1080p looks worse than 4K in close to poor settings.
Yes the vram limitation is the main reason moving towards a 4080 Super desktop. It’s the worst hitting that wall.
Woo! my Card! just biding my time till I get a 4K OLED and 4070Ti Super
Your gaming experience is about to change in huge ways
tbf unless you're getting something thats larger than 32 inches you should go 1440p 170hz/240hz, the 4070ti super is gonna shine best with RT at 1440p and get high refresh but still not be completely overkill for it (I use my 7900xt at 1440p 170hz)
It is a bit too late to consider 4070 Ti S. We will probably get 5070 Ti in just about 6 months, which should be a bit faster than 4080 S in raster and significantly faster in RT. It would be a more appropriate 4K card. 4070 Ti S is already a bit too alow for 4K res, unless you are ready to use agressive DLSS. presets.
I went from playing in 24" in 1080p with 970/3070 to 75" in 4K with 4070Ti S and it's incredible. Actually I got the GPU upgrade just because 3070 couldn't handle 4K so I used it only for 6 months. Currently I am playing Alan Wake 2 at max settings with path tracing and it looks and feels pretty good with DLSS P and FG. And since games like these require even 4090 to use aggressive upscaling, it doesn't really matter. If you wanna wait for the new generation, only the 5090 will offer you a big improvement in 4K because some games at the moment make 4090 a 1080p card.
theyll shown eventually just matter of order
Rocking the 12GB 2060, it was an RMA replacement from Asus
Still running mine, great in 1440p at medium settings (EA WRC, Starfield, DR2, BEAMNG) and MSFS on high/ultra with a 3700x. Also great for development, music, productivity.
You just need to be very careful about the driver version you choose, as NVidia drivers are a total crapshoot now and can seriously screw your PC up if you get an incompatible release.
551.86 is working well for me with the RTX 2060.
A great GPU, a real workhorse that has stood the test of time.
Still waiting for AM4 5700x3d and 4070x prices to drop before possibly upgrading for a last AM4 run.
Honestly still rocking a 2070 super paired with a ryzen 5 5600x and yah it’s no 4090 but it still performs very well and on overwatch on high and 144fps locked, barely hits 54c, and is overall totally fine for my needs atm
I had a 2060 Super and ran out of VRAM (8GB) playing a 2015 game (Rise of the Tomb Raider) at 1080p xD 6GB, they were crazy.
Been playing Starfield with my 2060 and it is barely playable. Recently been looking for an upgrade but anything under $500 does not seem worth it and who can afford $1,000 GPUs. Why are they still limiting the Memory on the 40 series? When a 4060 only has 8gb and 128bit interface, why spend the $ for something that will still need upgraded in a few years?
the RX 6700XT/6750 XT & maybe a used RX 6800 XT can be had for less than $400 sometimes.
7900 gre is great value but its $550
I've been playing Starfield on mine and it's great at 1440p on medium settings. 6GB is fine for it. Works best with FSR3 and FG on. You need to tweak some of the settings.
You also need to be very careful about which driver version you use, they are very unreliable atm and can easily cause game crashes and PC lockups.
551.86 is working well for me, yymv. Test them to get the most stable version and stick with that.
Sticking with my 2060 super for a while longer. Might hold out for the 6000 series, though could be tempted by the 5000 series.
I’m curious to see this same video featuring the 2060 Super.
Aged much better I managed to use DlssTweaks ultra quality 1080p in latest games or 1440p dlss balanced and using optimized settings and fsr3 frame gen mod
I have a 2060 super with a 5600x and im super cool right now with performance in most games, I even undervolted it and it doesnt use more than 125w
Nice to see a video on the 2060, it's in a kind of limbo at the moment....not old enough for some content and not new/relevant enough for a lot of the rest. I remember building my son's pc in 2021 and bidding £400 ($480ish) on ebay for a used 2060, getting outbid by £20 and thinking things were just effing ridiculous. Ended up buying the newly released rx 6600 for £420. Didn't think that was much less ridiculous but 3060s were going for well over £500 used!
I like the video, im student in third world country where is complicate to buy last gen components, last year i achive my first gpu of all time that is rtx 2060 6gb and this probably would my unique gpu for almost 6 years or more, im happy that i can play all game i want in good quality, and newer games in lowest setting seems to see really good, more including my monitor is 1440x900 75hz, my next step to the pc world is change my 3400g to 5600, reducing the bottleneck i have
Pd: sorry for my bad english xd
Once it has DLSS, even the worst GPU is fine. My 3050 6gb is super fine for most things. These days Low + a few settings at medium is fine, it isn't like 2005 where low turns off half the game. Right now RUclipsrs and game companies are just fear mongering to upsell. Oh no, the Vram! Y'all seriously don't know the days when 640x480was high end graphics and 4mb vram was the business. This is coming from somebody with many high end PC's who just plays on whatever's Infront of him.
Thanks for making a video about older card relevent and interesting.
I can attest personally, that for the games I play 99% of the time, the 2060 that I still have is still enough, but if I want things like Ratchet, I rather go with my 4070 instead. And even then, it's the 1% time...that I might play once or twice in a lifetime., so yeah. Take that for what you will.
You should really try getting average lowest frame rates instead of "1% lows & 01.% lows". The total frames that you ever 1% or 0.1% out of 30 minute of game play is so small you'll never actually notice them.
@@kevinerbs2778 are you trying to say that you won't notice bad 1% lows?
@@suparibhau If you do the math for 1% of 30 minutes it's pretty small amount of time. Thats why I said average low frame rate, will give you a better idea of playability average frame rate can be low like 45fps while 1% lows are dips can be 5-25fps in certain areas that are temporary like 30 seconds up to 300 minutes. while the 45fps will be over a longer time of game play like 5 to 10 minutes, which is more noticeable.
@@kevinerbs2778 Yeah, and those 1% frames being slow is really noticeable. There's a reason why for the last decade 0.1 and 1% lows are introduced in every benchmarks since it's the most accurate a way to quantify stuttering.
You can literally try it yourself by capping the frame so that your frame time graph becomes constant. The gameplay becomes instantly smooth compared to uncapped frame rate which even if higher will feel stuttery
@@suparibhau Percentage is part a full total your calculations are completely wrong. If you play a game for 3 minutes your total number of 1% low is higher than if you play a game for 3 minutes.
I am still using my 1st Laptop, a Legion5 from January 2021. When I bought it, I was reluctant over it 'only' having an RTX 2060 (right before the 3xxx series was released, hence my deal)
For contrast my PC uses an RTX 3060ti. I use them both equally, and 90% of the time (for gaming), which one I am using doesn't really matter to me (I have an 1440p external monitor for the Laptop I have a 4k {set for 1440p} for the PC).
I love my 'old' Legion 5!
Then again, the only game I have that makes the laptop struggle is, 'DCS Combat Flight Simulator'. I don't have the games mentioned in the difficult benchmarks.

The best way to get near 60fps in Starfield is to play Fallout 4...
Or Outer Worlds, or No Man's Sky, or Elite Dangerous, or Star Citizen...
I don't think it's just that all modern games are bad and badly optimized, it's that we've seen it all before and they aren't doing anything new.
That's why Star Citizen is so interesting, the crowd funding, constant improvements, and actually achieving a scale that hasn't been seen before (albeit slowly).
Even with all the bugs it's still more interesting than Starfield.
It would be really interesting if you did a comparison between 2060 and 3060 and 4060 and the intergenerational jump. Thanks Daniel

can you do a video on the RTX 2080 ti? Seems like its becoming a really sought after budget GPU nowadays.
2080ti is still going strong as mid range GPU. 11GB of Vram is perfect for recent games.
You will get 20-40% more performance than PS5 in rasterization, even better RT, and DLSS is much better than FSR.
The closest modern equivalent to the 2080 Ti is a 4060 Ti 8GB. I’d still choose the 2080 Ti, hands down.

My 1060 watching me see all these videos knowing all well I'm not upgrading
the 2060 super 8gb version is actually one of the best budget cards.
I can run some new games with high-ultra at 1080p with DLSS upscaling and hit over 100 fps but it really depends on the game, The First Descendent definitely has some issues even with most of everything on medium or low. I think it really depends on how optimized the game is for the RTX 2060 lineup.
It is just 5/10% slower than a 6600 or 5700 non xt, while having dlss and superior rt, however a 2060super would be better just for the 2gb vram more, and bcz it is even better than a 5700 or 6600.

Very interesting video! I just happen to have the very same GPU you tested in my rig right now. There's no way I'd go for any modern titles without an upgrade. I do have one planned and it's not that great a leap, but, it should get me by with what I want to play. My next rig will have a 2080ti Founders Edition which has 11gb. It'll be coupled with a 5700X and 32gb of RAM, I'm staying at 1080p so I should get something decent going. I bought a load of Assassin's Creed games in a Steam sale so they will keep me going till any later stuff is in other Steam sales. It'd make for an interesting video to see how a 2080ti copes with modern games. Thanks for sharing!
You don’t have to consider much of this if you don’t really play the latest in today’s games. I have a lot of last gen and classic games that do very well on my 2060. 👌😎😆
I feel like these videos would always be good with an extra card like the 2060s just to show the difference in a minor performance boost + extra VRAM considering the 2nd hand cost difference is so minor these days. Also had no idea they made a 12gb version of the 2060, never seen it.
I would be curious to see the 12g version
Wanted to upgrade from this 40 series or should i wait for 50 series?
upgrade now
I have a r5 2600 + 2060 , very solid pair, i was disappointed with the 4060 with only 8gb, now i expect for the 5060 with at least 12gb
You can get a 5600 none xt and pair it with a 7700XT and be more than ok.
We don't know for sure if the 5060 will have 12 gb of VRAM at start, it only has a 128 bit bus, so 8 is more likely. But GDDR 7 could could have 3 GB modules, thus we may see 12 gb VRAM on a later version of 5060.
However!!! I want to point out that, if you keep your current motherboard, you might have PCIE 3.0, which WILL bottleneck cards with GDDR 7 up to a point simply due to the speed limit coupled with the narrow buswidth.
RDNA 4 will still use GDDR 6, N44 will have a 256 bit bus with 16 gb of VRAM, but that is a 1440p card of I ever saw one.
If you pair it with a 5700 X3D / 5800 X3D it will be ok.
Just a quick note, the 2060 12gb, has the same number of cores as the 2060 super.
rx 5700 aged a lot better and has 8gb. While amd drivers have their own issues they seem to do a better job at supporting older cards, margins keep getting bigger in newer games
eh.. rx 5700 is the oldest series card AMD still supports at all, next time they slash driver support in a year or two it will be that card. Meanwhile similiar aged Nvidia cards will enjoy driver support for 4 more years..

awesome , i was looking into this vs the 1070, trying to decide if DLSS is worth trading 2G of vram for. and looks like it is
Hard to believe the 2060 is only 5 1/2 years old. For some reason it seems like it should be older.
These reviews are getting better.
"it's getting you 69 - nice" hehehe :D 1:56
It was a very NICE experience indeed. 😏👉🏻👉🏻
what about some higher tier GPUs from that generation? they surely are affordable right now, even though they will be most likely used.
i dont want to look like i demand smth lol, sure them would be great, if not ill upload anyways
12gb VRAM for 1080p
16gb VRAM for 1440p
20-24gb VRAM for 4k 5k UW
Little to hard. For epic settings maybe yes. But for normal gaming 12gb vram is still good for 1440p but 16gb is future proof. For 4k it depends for 4090 you need more then 20gb vram but 4080 super with 16gb vram is still good but why play 4K it is wasting money a lot.
I rarely exceed 12GB for 4k, but if you are referring to having a card that never runs out of VRAM no matter if you downscale etc - then you're probably right
My 4050 with 6gb vram runs 1600p perfectly fine in most AAA games at high or max settings just fine especially with dlss lmao
Damn a 2060 must be seriously struggling these days. Realistically you won't be playing in higher resolutions than 1080p at low settings in most current games
That can still last you a year until RTX 5060 andRX 8600 are launched.
This was my dream gpu when i was still in uni.
i think it sells around the same price in the secondhand market as the RX6600, and that is without a doubt the better option.
As someone who was playing 720p
pls dont, whatever your plan is
i got gtx 1060maxQ laptop, shit runs the entire keyboard at finger burning hot if i dare put Elden Ring at 1080p resolution low settings, been playing at 800x450p 30-45fps. horrendous experience one of these days, imma go all out and build rtx 4070super pc, waiting on 5000s series too see how they are and if they lower previous gen cards by good amount
The 3050 is weaker than the 2060
RTX 2060 now that's slow today for modern games at 1080p Ultra, I say that having a RX 5700 XT and RTX 2080 which were faster GPUs, and even my 5700XT requires that I tune every little ounce out of it so it can stay above 60FPS.
The sharper and pixelated look of native 1080p does not look good imo, I still prefer to run dlss Q on 1080p than running native.
Hmm, Still have the old 1060 and 3060 12gb around. I skipped the 2060, though maybe I should have went with one in retrospect.
6gb 2060 in 2024 is a big ole oof.
Love the videos teacher.
The gpu was always not that great to begin with and the small 6gb vram buffer doesn't make it any better.
And so is 3060 6GB. 🤣🥲

Sorry if I offended anyone. My kids use a 750ti and Rx480 4gb. 2060 is great for lighter games and will run 99.9% of games in the last 20 years. just not modern AAA titles like being tested in this video.
I personally noticed myself be a better gamer on my 6800xt rather than my 2060 purely due to a constant fps and better 1%lows. In shooters it makes a difference. My 2060 couldn’t even play shooters at 1440p that’s why I upgraded, pathetic.
6gb vram is very obsolete just like 8gb vram
Next video RX 6650 XT
It’s seems that many UE5 titles are 1) better at vram management with higher quality texture settings 2) needs beefy GPU performance to get decent fps (imo RTX 4070/70-Super for 1080p or 1440p gaming w/ DLSS).
I feel we need to see at least 40-50% fps performance boost in the RTX50-series gpus over the current 40-series.
Saying that to be adequate for the largest game compatibility we need in next Gen GPUs’ and to cater for Frame Generation and Ray Tracing:
- 12GB on a 60-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4070/70-Super performance)
- 16gb on a 70-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4080/80-Super performance)
- 20GB on a 80-class GPU (at minimum RTX 4090Ti (RTX 4090+25% performance)
- 24GB on a 90-class / Titan GPU (at minimum RTX 4090+60% performance)
