RTX 3060 vs RTX 2060 Laptop Comparison - 15 Game Test!

Is it worth paying more money for RTX 3060 graphics over the older and cheaper RTX 2060? I’ve compared both laptop GPUs in 15 games, content creator workloads and more to show you the differences!

Hats off to you for all the effort you put in your videos. Thorough, to the point...I'm basically simping now lol

The screen quality on the RP-15 with 3060 though... way better than the previous one imo.

0:20 i like how the CUDA core difference between these GPU's correspond to a display resolution

[ahmadabdulhakim]

Well done! But I would also love to see them both compared on 1440p external screen as the cpu differences don't have any effect on games performance.

This guy always doing well on every review 💪

You really bring the heat

[RonaldBuskens]

Would be interesting to see which laptop/configuration runs the quietest and coolest, while still maintaining performance. Like how capable are laptops in silent mode?

I'm just here to see which Amon Amarth shirt you are rocking today :D Great content as always. Rock on Jarrod!

[Sad-Lemon]

I found myself watching more and more of your ideos recently. That requires a sub. Keep it up, your content is of the highest quality! :)

[ak_fx]

I'm so glad u include content creator workloads

Usually doubling the shader count translates to doubling of performance, here it couldn't even manage a flat 50% improvement in most cases. I honestly don't think these GPUs have as many CUDA cores as Nvidia claims. These feel like the same number but like... With some weird hyperthreading equivalent in use. I mean, it's right in line with other products when comparing HT vs non-HT.

The 3060 is insane, but I can't stomach the cost. Going for a 1660 Ti / 2060 instead. Thanks Jarrod!

Edit: Indonesian prices are insane.
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (5800H + 3060): $1800
Asus ROG Strix G15 (5800H + 3060): $1700
Acer Nitro 5 (5800H + 3060): $1250
Lenovo Legion 5i (10750H + 1660 Ti): $1250
Lenovo Legion 5i (10750H + 2060): $1250 - $1400

Take that as you will.

Nice comparison. The 30 series laptops are solid uplift over their predecessors. I updated to 140W 3080 laptop from a 960 laptop and it's leaps and bounds more performance. Actually beats out my desktop with a 5700XT.

Lenovo Legion 5 with Ryzen 7 5800h/Ryzen 5 5600h and RTX 3060 = The Best 2021 Gaming Laptop
CHANGE MY MIND

[skywalker]

your channel is like a TV show i am always intrigued to see next episode .

[General_Li_Shin]

I have a 2060 lenovo legion5i model, previously an 870M, and I'm very happy, used the extra money for all the peripherals and now daily gaming and streams after work !!

[Redmst]

This is the channel I used to pick my current laptop and I know for sure where I'll go, if me or my friends need one. Great job!

In CP2077, you can get a stable 60FPS and up to 70FPS with the RTX 2060. You just need to follow a guide to see what to turn on and off in game setting (Settings still will be High/Ultra).

[ArrenHidalgo]

Still the best channel ever! Thank you always for these informative vids! 🙏

[partyrd]

Thank you for always making great content, Jarrod. All the best.

[darragh]

My Lenovo legion 5 with 3060 is coming next week I can’t wait! Jarrod made me make my mind up to buy it
