Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce RTX 2060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce RTX 2060
The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, around 138% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2060 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 6800 currently lists from $490 SEK, $2,336 SEK less than the GeForce RTX 2060 at $2,826 SEK. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 6800 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 1275%. The Radeon RX 6800 is trading below its $579 SEK MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2060 still sits about $2,477 SEK above its $349 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce RTX 2060 is the gentler choice at 160W versus 250W. The Radeon RX 6800 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX 6800 carries 16GB versus 6GB on the GeForce RTX 2060. The extra 10GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6800 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 6800?
The Radeon RX 6800 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 2060 if you find it at a steep discount.
