What does this comparison mean?

RTX 3060 Ti 8GB is ahead in this benchmark with 8GB, while RTX 2060 12GB carries 12GB. Choosing the benchmark leader gives up 4GB of capacity for 31.6% more FPS in this workload; check the memory demands of your actual games or applications before making that trade.

RTX 2060 12GB has 12GB and RTX 3060 Ti 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.

RTX 3060 Ti 8GB

The original RTX 3060 Ti is an 8GB GDDR6 Ampere model introduced in December 2020. Its later GDDR6X configuration is a separate variant.

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.
