Game | GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SLI | GeForce RTX 2060 6GB |
In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SLI are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB.
The RTX 2060 has a 15 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 Ti, but the RTX 2080 Ti has 152 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2060. As a result, the RTX 2080 Ti exhibits a 203.4 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RTX 2060. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 2060 has a 15 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 Ti, but the RTX 2080 Ti has 40 more Render Output Units than the RTX 2060. As a result, the RTX 2080 Ti exhibits a 53.3 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RTX 2060. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 2060 was released less than a year after the RTX 2080 Ti, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RTX 2080 Ti has 5120 MB more video memory than the RTX 2060, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 2080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 2080 Ti has 280 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 2060, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2080 Ti is massively better than the RTX 2060.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SLI has 4352 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 Ti is 7116 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3226. The RTX 2080 Ti having 3890 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2080 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2060.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SLI requires 260 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB requires 160 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 2080 Ti and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RTX 2060. The RTX 2080 Ti requires 100 Watts more than the RTX 2060 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2080 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2060.
