Can I run Grand Theft Auto VI with a GeForce RTX 2060 6GB?

Grand Theft Auto VI will not start until it has 8 GB of video memory in front of it, and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB brings 6 GB - a 2 GB gap that no settings slider closes.

The GeForce RTX 2060 6GB is the fastest card we track that still stops here in Grand Theft Auto VI: everything above it on our index reaches further, and 10 slower cards land in the same place.

The weakest link is video memory: this rig brings 6 against the 8 that Grand Theft Auto VI asks for at the minimum tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Grand Theft Auto VI: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Grand Theft Auto VI all three processors land the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB on the same tier - this pairing is decided by the card, not by what sits next to it. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

video memory: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB

The GeForce RTX 2060 6GB carries 6 GB of video memory and the minimum tier needs 8 GB. Video memory is a hard limit: no amount of core speed substitutes for it.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the minimum tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

This part alone will not get you there. graphics card also falls short of that tier.

Questions

Will a GeForce RTX 2060 6GB run Grand Theft Auto VI?
Grand Theft Auto VI will not start until it has 8 GB of video memory in front of it, and the GeForce RTX 2060 6GB brings 6 GB - a 2 GB gap that no settings slider closes. Above that the video memory is what stops it.
Is 6 GB of video memory enough for Grand Theft Auto VI?
Not for every tier. Grand Theft Auto VI asks for more video memory than the 6 GB on this card at the tier above the minimum, and video memory is a hard limit rather than something extra core speed can cover.
