RTX 4080 SUPER vs RTX 2060
Short answer: which is best?
RTX 4080 SUPER is 382.5 % stronger than RTX 2060. RTX 4080 SUPER ranks #5 of 67 measured graphics cards at WhatFPS (14,460 GPU score over 2 verified runs). RTX 2060 ranks #46 of 67 measured graphics cards at WhatFPS (2,997 GPU score over 8 verified runs). The numbers are measured in 10 verified WhatFPS runs — not estimated, not self-reported.

Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER absolutely dominates this comparison, leading the RTX 2060 by an enormous 360.9% in GPU score. This translates to a massive leap in gaming performance, with the RTX 4080 SUPER hitting 60.5 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) and 76.6 FPS in Mission to Earth II (DX12), while the RTX 2060 manages only 11.8 FPS and 14 FPS in those same tests. This superior performance is driven by a much higher raw compute (ALU index 488299 versus 126400), significantly more memory bandwidth at 189 GB/s compared to 54 GB/s, and a generous 16 GB of VRAM versus 6 GB. While the RTX 4080 SUPER's data comes from a thin sample of only two verified runs, the sheer scale of the performance difference makes it clear that for high-fidelity gaming, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the undisputed champion. The RTX 2060, despite supporting modern features like ray tracing, mesh shaders, and VRS, simply cannot keep up with the demands of current titles at acceptable frame rates.

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
