What does this comparison mean?
The RX 5700 XT leads the 12GB RTX 2060 by a relatively modest amount in this workload. It is not a doubling of performance, and the Radeon has 8GB rather than 12GB. If you already own the RTX 2060, compare the cost of changing cards against that limited measured gain before calling it a worthwhile upgrade.
RTX 2060 12GB has 12GB and RX 5700 XT 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.
RX 5700 XT 8GB
The RX 5700 XT is an 8GB Radeon model introduced with the first RDNA generation in July 2019.

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.
