In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile.
The RTX 2060 has a 405 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the RTX 2060. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 48.6 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 405 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2060 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 19.1 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 2060 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 2060 Mobile and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The RTX 2060 has 144 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 2060, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2060 is massively better than the RTX 2060.
Both the GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 have 1920 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the RTX 2060 has 48.6 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate and 19.1 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate, but the RTX 2060 has 144 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth. Overall, the RTX 2060 has significantly better performance.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RTX 2060, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2060. The RTX 2060 requires 60 Watts more than the RTX 2060 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 2060.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile is a mid-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card for laptops based on the Turing GPU architecture. It is considered a great price to performance graphics card. 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 Mobile supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p screen resolution. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106 which has 1920 Shader Processing Units, 120 TMUs and 47 ROPs. The central unit runs at 960 MHz and goes up to 1200 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 6GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 192-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1500MHz, or 14GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-90W the RTX 2060 Mobile is averagely resource-intensive and will fairly significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2060 6GB Mobile 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. | Overview GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 is a mid-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture.
