It’s meant that upgrading from one $249 GPU to the next meant you were getting a real upgrade. We’ve commonly expected to see similar price-points from one generation to the next. While the card did indeed jump 40% in price from one generation to the next, the performance is increased at least that much in all of our tests. Let’s jump right into the most important question: is the GeForce RTX 2060 worth $349? I expected to have a hard time answering that when all was said and done, but the card’s performance impressed me. That said, the 2060 can likewise gloat by delivering performance similar to the Vega 56, but for 60W less. The RTX 2060 leaped far past the GTX 1060 in performance, but the modest Pascal card can rightfully gloat about its lighter power load. Yes, it’s boring watching a power monitor for one-minute spurts – thank you for asking. Over the course of the one-minute benchmark, a rough average is pulled. Admittedly, we don’t have the best methods for power testing, and would love to improve them in the future, but for now, we use what we have, and that’s our eyeballs. To test for power consumption, a Kill-A-Watt that the PC itself is plugged into is used for monitoring a Far Cry 5 4K benchmark run.
