Verdict
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super
5.6 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-balanced budget Turing card whose 8GB VRAM has aged unusually gracefully; still a fine used 1080p pick, clearly outclassed by any current-gen budget card.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q
6.1 / 10 Expert Rating
A dependable budget-thin-laptop chip, reasonable once you accept the Max-Q performance ceiling.
