The new Radeon RX 5600 XT has been announced, in this review, we peek at the Sapphire Pulse OC version. The Radeon RX 5600 XT is basically an RX 5700 however with 6GB of GDDR6, lower TGP and clock frequencies, oh and a price tag of 279 USD. That could make it an excellent offering in the Quad HD domain at up-to a resolution of 2560x1440.

Between a 2060 and 2060s on average, with nice temps.

2060 price drop puts the two similar level but the 2060S @ $400 seems kind of pointless now. Only 8-10% more performance for nearly $120 more.

Nvidia's new slogan for all the 2060/s owners: gotcha...again!

Thats a very nice performer at that price. AMD boosted the card in the last moment with the bios update. Im surprised its closer to 2060s than 2060.
Finally a nice card from AMD, 5500xt was just overpriced for what it is.

With BIOS update trading blows with 2060S ($400) in DX12. And trading blows with 2060 ($320) in DX11 all at $280. Great job. The 1660s is still a better Performance per dollar but this GPU is a better step into the QHD realm.

Something to consider before buying a second hand Vega 56.

Even the 2060 needs another price drop. I wouldn't recommend it over 5600 xt at this point.

Yeah, retailers are offering the cards from 300 € upwards. Meaning 5700 territory. WTF

Thats a still 50$ cheaper than a blower 5700 being only 10% or so slower on average.

5600xt has made the 2060 super useless at 1080p at its price point. Only those who simply hate AMD would still buy it at this point.
Being a fan is an awful expensive hobby these days.
Like I said before AMD and Nvidia always know what the other is about to release just before it's made known to the public. Thus the NV price cut of the 2060 before release. But it certainly not enough. It was already 2x the price before the cut. I can only imagine how one feels who purchased it about 2 weeks ago
. Now seeing the 5600 xt at its price 
. And finding out the 1x price cut on the card 
.
Good luck with your AMD GPU which is basically already outdated and legacy hardware. People buy Nvidia RTX because of Raytracing, DLSS, Gsync, crazy fast renders for workstations thanks to RT cores, etc. It seems like the only jaded fanboy here is you, and frankly, I feel a bit of buyers remorse in your post.

$40-50 more and you can buy a 256-bit, 8gb 5700.

Oh pls.. 1st gen RTX cards are useless for RT at anything above 1080p.

There is no rtx 2060 price drop, its all on paper. Good luck finding evga ko version anywhere and nvidia 2060 FE is not in stock. Im sure nvidia did it just to try being competitive at 300$ range.

Sometimes I end with an onliner from say game of thrones, sometimes the command for a modem hangup (ATH ++), and this round a load command for the Commodore 64. Yes, your editor is a little weird like that just because he thinks it's funny - it's my inner g33k.
I salute you for recognizing that command properly

Your ignorance is amazing. Digital Foundry just showed RTX2060S running Wolfenstein at 4K DLSS, ultra settings, raytracing ON, 60+FPS. What you don't understand people with RTX cards have an option to run raytracing or not. You do not have that option with your slightly cheaper AMD GPU. You get what you pay for.

2060S is a 400$ gpu using dlss 50% resolution and it was not maxed out becouse game uses more than 8gb vram. I also think it was 1440p not 4k. Credit goes to amazing id tech engine optimization and great performance in the first place.

Eh, disagree. At the midrange they are certainly not great but newer titles are pushing up easily. Wolf for example, the 2080Ti can do 4K @ 60 without DLSS. It also remains to be seen with consoles having RT support how that drives game performance/adoption and techniques. Also RTX cards have mesh shaders, VRS and a few other features that AMD doesn't support at the moment. There is definitely value-add with RTX.
Some other things:
Nvidia's encoder is superior to RDNAs - enough to make an appreciable difference in image quality. Nvidia currently supports VRR, AMD does not.
So outside of just sheer performance there is value with going Nvidia. How much are those things worth? Depends on the person.

American dollar (they don't even include tax!) prices mean nothing to me, and I think most of this website's community, because I'm pretty sure big majority of this website are Europeans.
For example in my country
MSI RX 5700 GAMING X = 530 euro
MSI RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING X = 550 euro.
I would never recommend any of my friends to save measly 20 euro and buy GPU that lacks so many features, I would later feel terrible talking to a friend who saw some cool raytracing gameplay only to learn he can't use that feature on his shiny new AMD GPU.

Aww, isn't this so adorable. Looks like someone just got released from the Nv Emo Support Clinic.
But I still don't understand why they still charging a co-pay?
o_O
Shhh, I was trying to offer some hope. Perhaps late 4th quarter?

The thread from this point onwards remains on topic and decent. Fight, and I WILL hit that ban button. Trust me, I don't care who you are or how long you've been here.
