NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 1080p & 1440p Gaming Performance

UL 3DMark

According to the Fire Strike test, the RTX 2060 falls ever-so-slightly behind the Vega 56 at 1080p, with the gap widened a bit more at 4K. Based on that same grueling 4K resolution, the 2060 is about 42% faster than the 1060. Where DX12 is concerned, at least with 3DMark, even greater differences can be seen:

With Time Spy, the aforementioned 42% boost turns into an 81% one. That seems super generous, but there were still significant gains seen in our own DX12 tests. DXMD showed the 2060 to be 48% faster, while BF V exhibited a significant 67% boost. Keep that 67% in mind for a moment.

UL VRMark

VRMark shows the greatest gains in performance of any other test in this lineup. Congratulations if you still have that 67% in mind, because it’s about to get blasted away. With the Cyan test, representing DX12 gameplay, the RTX 2060 sees a literal 2x gain over the GTX 1060. Meanwhile, the even more grueling future-focused Blue test still gives us a 93% advantage in the same match-up.

Unigine Superposition

The RTX 2060 vs GTX 1060 matchup has been fun to watch over the course of this article. When we dove into 2060 testing, we didn’t really clue into the kind of performance advantages we were in for. Superposition yet again continues that domination, with a 59% boost at 4K, and a staggering 96% one at 1080p. Clearly, there’s more to the 2060 than immediately meets the eye.
