GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs Radeon RX Vega 56: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs Radeon RX Vega 56

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is significantly faster, around 25% ahead of the Radeon RX Vega 56. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX Vega 56 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER starts at $512 EUR against $790 EUR for the Radeon RX Vega 56. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 93%. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER still sits about $113 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP. The Radeon RX Vega 56 still sits about $391 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER draws just 175W versus 210W for the Radeon RX Vega 56, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX Vega 56 (Turing vs GCN 5.0 (Vega)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX Vega 56 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or Radeon RX Vega 56?

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX Vega 56 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER better than the Radeon RX Vega 56?

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is significantly faster, roughly 25% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or the Radeon RX Vega 56?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX Vega 56 worth the extra $277 EUR over the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER comes out ahead.
