Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 SUPER is the undisputed winner in this comparison, leading the RTX 2060 by an impressive 274.5% in GPU score. This performance difference is stark across all our tests, with the RTX 4070 SUPER achieving 44.2 FPS in Earth II Vulkan compared to the RTX 2060's 11.3 FPS, and similar leads in Mission to Earth II DX12 (55.6 FPS vs 13.2 FPS) and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate (51 FPS vs 15.2 FPS). The RTX 4070 SUPER also presents a much stronger foundation with an ALU index of 511416, over double the memory bandwidth at 150 GB/s, 12 GB of VRAM, and a higher peak clock of 2820 MHz. For gamers, this means the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers significantly smoother and more responsive gameplay, comfortably handling modern titles where the RTX 2060, ranking 28th out of 42 GPUs, struggles to reach playable frame rates. The RTX 2060 is only suitable for very light gaming or as an existing card that is not being upgraded.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
