Our Verdict: The RTX 2060 SUPER is faster by 43% for 1440p gaming. For 1080p games, upgrading from RX 590 to RTX 2060 SUPER is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 590 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Turing graphics card inside the RTX 2060 SUPER, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RTX 2060 SUPER is much more expensive than the GTX 1060 6GB as it costs a whopping $ 400. Compare this to the GTX 1060 6GB, which came originally at a price of $ 254. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 5700 which costs $ 349.

Spec for spec, this RTX 2060 SUPER leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1060 6GB, by boasting 71.2 % more fps. The RTX 2060 SUPER has 8 GB RAM compared to the GTX 1060 6GB 's 6 GB video memory.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 2060 SUPER blows past the GTX 1060 6GB and, amazingly, even the GTX 1070 as well. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700, the RTX 2060 SUPER was 1.8 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 2060 SUPER consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1060 6GB and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Metro Exodus, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space, God of War, Forza Horizon 5 at 61 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs: Legion, Gears of War 5, Need For Speed: Heat, Final Fantasy XV at 61 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Forza Horizon 4, Overwatch 2, Valorant at 66 fps to 160 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 101 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 590

AMD ’s xx90 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 4.0 graphics card inside the RX 590, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 1070, the RX 590 was -13.8 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Far Cry 6, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter: World, Hitman 3, Godfall at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Apex Legends, Resident Evil 2, Forza Horizon 4, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Overwatch 2 at 60 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Valorant at 107 fps to 107 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 107 fps.

RTX 2060 SUPER vs RX 590 with i7-8700K vs i7-8700K at 1440p and ultra vs ultra settings
RTX 2060 SUPER vs RX 590 with i7-8700K vs i7-8700K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER / i7-8700K

With some tuning, the RTX 2060 SUPER makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. In terms of memory, the RTX 2060 SUPER 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2026 .

AMD Radeon RX 590 / i7-8700K

At 1440p, RX 590 can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. It is clear that the RX 590 is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for RX 590 against the competition in budget mid-range cards. It is worth noting that the RX 590 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 590 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.
