Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Superchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

The extra VRAM and bandwidth barely moved the needle in real games. Multiple commenters pointed out that despite doubling VRAM to 8GB and widening the memory bus from 192 to 256-bit, the Super variant only managed a roughly 8.75 percent average performance gain over the original 2060 across a dozen games. This led some to conclude the extra memory and bandwidth were doing little at 1440p or lower resolutions, making the upgrade feel underwhelming for the added cost.

Pricing at $400 struck many as a missed opportunity. Commenters felt Nvidia mispriced the 2060 Super, arguing it would have sold much better at $300, closer to the original 2060's price point. Instead, users saw the $400 price tag as another case of Nvidia pushing 'reasonable' price hikes onto xx60-tier cards, a segment traditionally seen as budget-friendly, fueling broader frustration about rising GPU costs generation over generation.

AMD competition made the value proposition look weak. Several commenters directly compared the 2060 Super unfavorably to AMD's RX 5700, saying it was easily beaten on price and performance, effectively calling the Nvidia card dead on arrival. Others pointed to Vega 56 owners feeling vindicated by their cheaper purchases, reinforcing a sentiment that AMD offered better value in the same price bracket during this GPU generation.
