GTX 1080 vs RTX 2060 6GB Tested in 2023

i remember i played on gtx 1070 battlefield 5 on highest settings 1080p
and i had 60-70 fps in this scene

now i see gtx 1080 with only 55 fps

What case did you use for this video , also was the 2060 dual fan ? I have a Zotac Black gaming 2060 and even after I undervolted it, it hovers around 73°c under load, high 70's and stock voltage it hovers around 80°c. I have 4 Intake fans (two front and two upper case) and 1 exhaust fan on the rear, 3x Noctua and 2 Corsair that came with the case.

I think the 1080 is more future proof because of the 2GB more VRAM.

I upgraded to a 2060 from a 970 back in 2020 right before 3000 series released and prices went up. The 2060 treated me well for two years at 1080p and the price to performance was great at the time. I recently upgraded to a used 3080 because it was $550. I ended up giving my 2060 to my cousin who wanted to build his first pc. He plays roblox and valorant and the 2060 is more than enough for his uses

BAssically RTX 2060 is just a rebrand of 1080 but with dlss supp

Both similar price used, both similar TDP, I think for a 1080p gamer the RTX is better but for higher resolutions I'd go with the GTX for the extra 2gb Vram. Personally I saved some money and went for the GTX 1070 but I'll go to the RTX 3060 when the price is right. I don't think either of these cards represent the best value for money on the used market at the moment, I want 12gb of Vram if I'm spending £200.

Why, just why were you testing Fortnite in DX11 without the new Lumen and Nanite features. Use DX12 and Lumen/Nanite enabled next time to see how the 1080 compares to the 2060 with the next gen featureset that will be used in many upcoming UE5 next gen titles.

It’s crazy that the RTX 2060 invalidates the whole GTX 10 series of cards besides the 1080 Ti.

Yep. An RTX 2060 is a great option for someone looking to get GTX 1080 performance out of their rig in 1080p, Still great cards if you ask me. Both of them. The RTX 2060 can use DLSS to get much more out of it. Using an RTX 2060 in my home theater rig right now.
