GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is significantly faster, around 20% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop packs 3,840 CUDA cores versus 2,176 on the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER currently lists from $133,460 JPY, $76,340 JPY less than the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop at $209,800 JPY. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER still sits about $133,061 JPY above its $399 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 115W against 175W, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 336 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (Ampere vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop?
The GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is the faster card by about 20%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
