About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $399. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2060 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 2060 SUPER includes 2,176 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,470 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 136 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 272 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 34 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 2060 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 175 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 2060 SUPER has the 92nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 22.86% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 29,668 score and $399 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 74.36. This is the 51st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2023 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 31) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 576 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 7900 GRE includes 5,120 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,287 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,245 MHz. It usually operates at 1,880 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 320 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 160 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 AI accelerators optimized for AI workloads and 80 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 7900 GRE occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1, USB Type-C display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 260 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 7900 GRE has the 19th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 51.73% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 67,134 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 122.28. This is the 11th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
