In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q.
The RTX 2060 has a 540 MHz higher core clock speed but 24 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the RTX 2060 manages to provide 51.1 GTexel/s better texturing performance. 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 540 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 34.6 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 2070 was released less than a year after the RTX 2060, 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 GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are the same, which means the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2060 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB has 2176. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 2957 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3949. The RTX 2060 having 992 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2060 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2070.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q requires 80 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2060, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2070. The RTX 2060 requires 95 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2060 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q card is a high-end RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 40 SM activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 320 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU106 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q is clocked lower than the regular RTX 2070 Super Mobile version, leading to a slight reduction in game performance. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1215 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1440 MHz whereas this 2070 Super Max-Q has a clock speed of 930 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1155 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-90W the RTX 2070 Super Max-Q is not as power hungry as the full fat mobile version but will still reduce battery gameplay hours if pushed to max power capacity. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q is capable of resolutions all the way up to 4K (3840x2160) but is probably more suited to 1440p displays. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is a mid to high-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is the 'Super' variant of the RTX 2060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 2070 GPU. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p and 1440p screen resolutions. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106-410-A which has 2176 Shader Processing Units, 136 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1470 MHz and goes up to 1815 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. This provides total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 160W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with an 8-pin power connector. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a mid-range Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
