What does this comparison mean?
Only five FPS separate the Arc A580 and RTX 2060 12GB in this workload, with the Intel card ahead. It also has less memory, at 8GB. The small measured lead is not a compelling upgrade case on its own, especially if the 2060's additional capacity is useful to you.
RTX 2060 12GB has 12GB and Arc A580 8GB has 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 2060 12GB
This is the later 12GB GDDR6 RTX 2060, retaining Turing architecture. MSI documented a December 2021 release for its 12GB board.
Arc A580 8GB
The Arc A580 is an 8GB Intel A-series model introduced in October 2023. Intel documents hardware AV1 encoding independently of gaming performance.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
