Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060?

At 1440p Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 averages 63 fps in Baldur's Gate 3 with a 57 fps 1% low, per PCBench. For local LLM inference it generates 48.6 tokens/sec running mistral:7b at q4_K_M under ollama, per DatabaseMart. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 17,655 points, per 3DMark. Its 6 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is deepseek-r1:8b (8B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 7.5 tokens/sec under ollama, per DatabaseMart.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
