tfdsafYeah, you are not properly informed. It does beat the 1660 super, NOT the 1650super. We won't know for sure until its tested by reviewers, but by AMD's own numbers its about 10% faster than a 1660super, which means its about 10% faster than a 1660ti as well. So while it is slightly faster, its also much more expensive, while being 1 year late and consumes more power!

64KAccording to the guys over on Techspot AMD is saying that that the RX 5600 XT will be an average of 16% faster than the GTX 1660 TI but a RTX 2060 is around 33% faster than a GTX 1660 Ti according to the benches on this site so I don't think it's going to be fast enough fast enough to directly compete with a 2060 Super. However the 2060 Super costs about $130 more than the 5600 XT will so there's that to consider.

You could overclock the 5600 XT to get close to a 2060 Super but as EarthDog pointed out you can overclock the 2060 Super as well. W1zzard got a 8.7% gain in performance by overclocking the 2060 Super in his review.

We will know the full story when W1zzard gets one and reviews/ benches it.

EarthDogYikes. Where is the value proposition for this card? More power use, slower, and costs as much as 1660ti ($279+). Then if rtx 2060 is $299 across the board now.... oof.

RandallFlaggIt's real simple, look at the chart below and note the big chasm between the 5500XT and the 5700.

AMD has nothing to compete in that range. The 5600XT fills the gap.

The upside for consumers, I'm already seeing the 1660 / Super / Ti and the 2060 prices drop.

jabbadapUhm right, who was talking about 2060S, that one has msrp of $399. RTX 2060 is 17% faster than gtx1660ti, RTX 2060S is 33% faster than gtx1660ti. And by AMD internal tests RX5600xt should be 16% faster than gtx1660ti, so actually quite close to RTX 2060.

But another angle on that price drop, if you look at Steam's video card statistics the last gen GTX 1060 is not only #1 at almost 21% of GPUs being used - it also *gained significantly over the holidays*. That is a sub $200 card now. Even the 1050Ti gained.

The RTX series 2060 / 2070 are stagnant and the 16xx series is not moving much. These cards won't sell until their prices drop. AMD itself is just treading water with the 5500 / 5700 lines.

EarthDogI doubt it will be 16% faster. AMDs slide doesnt average 16% and that is cherry picked AMD results.

I think, after getting my bearings, this card will trade blows but overall win by a few percent over the 1660ti but will still be significantly behind (25%+) the rtx 2060. So... more power, costs the same(ish), and is in the performance ballpark. Wheres the value again? Why isnt this priced $20-30 less?

Spoiler: amd sliiiide

tfdsafAnd Nvidia lowered the US MSRP of the RTX 2060 to $300. I mean it's well and truly over for the RX 5600xt. The only reason to consider it at all now is if it came at a price of $240 to $250. No one would buy it for $280, even before this price reduction it was way too expensive for what it offers, but with this move, Nvidia ensures that 95% and more of the consumers will go and get a 2060 over a 5600xt.
