As the final step on my PC upgrades in my search of making Blender render faster, I am raising the stakes by replacing my Geforce GTX 1650 Super with RTX 2060 - and comparing the rendering speed.

Are you ready for GTX 1650 Super vs RTX 2060 Blender?! Let's go!

RTX 2060 is surely a faster graphics card for 3d modeling and rendering, but how much? Does it make sense to upgrade a budget PC with a faster GPU?
In this video I am using the same short scene like in my two previous videos as a benchmark to test how much faster RTX 2060 is.

To my surprise, ASUS RTX 2060 exceeded my expectations in two ways:
1. It was faster than I anticipated!
2. It runs perfectly fine on a tiny 310W Power supply!

For this particular setup, my HP Pavilion Gaming PC is a perfect fit for 2060 and vice versa. Due to the slower Intel H470 chipset, it doesn't make sense to use RTX 3060 or similar faster cards on my system. Nonetheless, the speed boost in rendering in Blender is more than I expected!

Looking forward, I'm happy to use this setup for video editing, animation, graphic design and all things creative until I get a change to build a real Blender workstation.

My fastest render time was 75 minutes on Ubuntu 22.
