NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 1080p & 1440p Gaming Performance

Forza Horizon 4

We still have a handful of games to go, but the trend started on the last page has already continued here. At 1080p, the RTX 2060 offers a ton of performance, hitting 88 FPS in a highly detailed Forza Horizon 4. Interestingly, the 1440p boost doesn’t change performance up significantly, knocking only 16 FPS off of the average, resulting in a 71 FPS average.

Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter World is a demanding game, or it at least gives a good impression that it is. Here, the RTX 2060 handled the game no problem, delivering 68 FPS at 1440p. It’s with a game like this one where the GTX 1060 begins to show its age, but it’s hard to balk at a GPU that still delivers 60 FPS at 1080p (especially when that’s twice what the console versions can muster).

Back to the Vega 56 battle, it’s clear that this game loves NVIDIA hardware, even if it’s not an officially sponsored title. In that match-up, the RTX 2060 leaps ahead of the Vega 56, despite AMD’s card being the technically faster of the two (eg: Vega 56 is spec’d at 10.5 TFLOPS; RTX 2060 is 6.4 TFLOPS).

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Some of the games tested in this article have been particularly hard on the GTX 1060, but Shadow of the Tomb Raider absolutely punishes it. At 1080p, 52 FPS is “good enough” to get by, especially given the level of detail we’re dealing with, but a 29 FPS minimum at 1440p is rough. It’s doubly rough when the average is a meager 5 FPS better.

Meanwhile, the RTX 2060 proves 53% faster at 1080p, and a staggering 70% faster at 1440p. Despite that, not even it can manage to break past the 60 FPS mark – but it comes super close.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands

To wrap up our game testing, Ghost Recon Wildlands gives us the same answer as a few others here. 1080p is no problem at all at max detail for NVIDIA’s RTX 2060. At 1440p, we’re still seeing a more than acceptable 60+ FPS average. Last-gen’s GTX 1060 performs well for its rated performance, but only if we’re talking 1080p. What a difference a generation makes!
