Darksiders Genesis offers fun gameplay and good visuals. The title isn’t too hardware-taxing – Low settings are possible on low-end machines with iGPUs like AMD RX Vega 7 (Renoir C6, Ryzen 4000). Ultra details look good and a mid-range video card is enough for this preset.

And when we are still talking about mid-rangers, let’s take a look at the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (90W) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (115W). These are the fastest middle-class graphics solutions that come from the green team.

Their TGP levels seem fine for Darksiders Genesis but let’s see how far ahead is the 115W variant.

Verdict

There is no doubt that the GeForce RTX 2060 [115W] is the better GPU in this comparison. It wins by a 10% margin. But the GeForce RTX 2060 [90W] isn’t a slouch at all – 95 FPS on Ultra is a decent result. People with 120Hz+ displays must lower the details for more frames.
