Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on GeForce RTX 2060 12GB

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB is well above Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~270 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
