“How does the RTX 2060 perform in Star Citizen? I put it up against the GTX 1660, RX 6600, RX 7600 and more to see if it is a good GPU for the game!”
The author discusses the performance of the RTX 2060 graphics card in Star Citizen. They note that the 2060, despite having 6 gigabytes of memory compared to the 8 gigabytes of some AMD cards, does not seem to have any issues in terms of performance in the game. They reference a graph that shows the expected performance of the RTX 2060 compared to the AMD RX 6600, indicating that while the 6600 may perform better in some games, there are instances where the 2060 outperforms it.
When testing in different areas of the game, the author finds that in Art Corp, the 2060 performs slightly slower than the 6600, but in Orison Roof, the 2060 actually outperforms the 6600, despite being technically slower. They suggest that architectural differences between the 6000 and 7000 series of AMD cards may explain this discrepancy. In general, the author finds playing with the 2060 to be very pleasant, providing a significant improvement over lower-end GPUs like the 1660.
Moving on to a city scene test, the author observes that the 2060 is slightly slower than the 6600. In space, however, the 2060 performs better than the 6600 and 1660. In Quantum Travel, the author again sees that the 2060 outperforms the AMD 6000 series cards and matches the performance of the 6600 and 1660. In the city of Lorville, the 2060 performs almost as well as the AMD 7600, despite being technically slower.
Overall, the author concludes that the RTX 2060 performs well in Star Citizen, especially in comparison to lower-end GPUs like the 1660. They note that the 2060 does not seem to face the same performance issues as some AMD cards with 8 GB of VRAM in Lorville. The author expresses a preference for the 2060 due to its lack of performance issues, despite having less VRAM. They tease that they have tested an AMD card with 12 GB of VRAM and suggest that the results will be significantly different.
