GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 570
The GeForce RTX 2060 is dramatically faster, around 117% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 2060 currently lists from $2,826 SEK, $1,965 SEK less than the Radeon RX 570 at $4,790 SEK. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2060 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 267%. The GeForce RTX 2060 still sits about $2,477 SEK above its $349 SEK MSRP. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $4,621 SEK above its $169 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 570 is the gentler choice at 150W versus 160W. The GeForce RTX 2060 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 160W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 2060 carries 6GB versus 4GB on the Radeon RX 570. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 2060 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 570 (Turing vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 570 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 or Radeon RX 570?
The GeForce RTX 2060 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 570 if you find it at a steep discount.
