Notes

Readers often express interest to see how the review card stacks up against older GPUs they might by using in their own rigs. This is why we have also benchmarked the GeForce RTX 2060 (non-Super) from January 2019 and, looking further back to a really popular GPU, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB from July 2016. Is it time retire the Pascal-based star that arrived at retail for £280 all those years ago?
