The Red Devil is PowerColor's RX 5600 XT flagship with 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory. It uses a triple-slot, dual-fan cooler that is whisper-quiet when gaming and features fan-stop technology. Also included is a powerful 8-phase VRM, dual BIOS and adjustable RGB lighting.
The Gigabyte GTX 1650 Super WindForce OC is only marginally more expensive than the NVIDIA MSRP, yet includes premium features like fan-stop, a dual-fan thermal solution, overclock out of the box, and a backplate. We take a closer look, also to decide how it competes against the AMD RX 5500 XT.
MSI's Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming Series comes in two flavors: the Gaming X and the Gaming Z, which has higher memory clocks. We compare both cards and their massive triple-slot thermal solution that achieves amazing temperatures and noise levels. Fan-stop is included, too.
Sapphire's RX 5600 XT Pulse comes at $289, which is only a small $10 premium over the AMD MSRP, yet it's faster than the GeForce RTX 2060. The card's cooler does a great job and delivers good temperatures paired with amazing noise levels, and it has fan-stop, too.
The ASUS Radeon RX 5600 XT STRIX TOP uses the same cooler and PCB design as the RX 5700 XT STRIX OC, which makes this a massively overbuilt design. Thanks to a 10-phase GPU VRM paired with low voltages, the card is actually more power efficient than NVIDIA's Turing lineup.
The $299 EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO was announced just days ago, at CES, and is the most affordable entry into RTX gaming. What's surprising is that the KO uses a different GPU than other RTX 2060 Series cards. We take a closer look to see what NVIDIA is bringing to the fight with AMD's RX 5600 XT.
Gigabyte's RX 5500 XT Gaming OC comes with 8 GB VRAM to ensure there's plenty of memory for the latest games. The cooler has three extremely quiet fans, and fan stop is included, too. With manual overclocking, we broke the 2 GHz barrier, more than on any other RX 5500 XT so far.
Sapphire's factory-overclocked Radeon RX 5500 XT Pulse comes with an amazing cooler that delivers excellent temperatures and unbelievable noise levels at the same time. Idle fan stop and a dual BIOS are included, too, for a very reasonable price increase of $10.
The MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming X features twice the VRAM of the 4 GB OEM model, which we found to make a surprising difference in games, even at 1080p. As expected, the card includes an extremely quiet cooler, idle-fan-stop, and a backplate.
The ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 Super STRIX OC is the company's most premium GTX 1650 Super variant available. It comes with a large overclock out of the box, and its dual-fan cooler achieves excellent temperatures and noise levels. A backplate is included, too.
AMD just released this year's "Adrenalin 2020" Christmas update for their Radeon Graphics Drivers. We take a detailed look at the new features and benchmark "AMD Fine Wine" to see how much performance has improved for Polaris, Vega, and Navi users.
EVGA's GeForce GTX 1650 Super SC Ultra is priced at NVIDIA MSRP, yet offers all the important extras. It comes with a dual-fan cooler that achieves excellent temperatures and has idle-fan-stop capability. A factory overclock is included, too, and EVGA even managed to squeeze in a metal backplate.
Sapphire's RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Special Edition is the fastest air-cooled Radeon RX 5700 XT on the market. It has what no other card has: overclocked memory. Noise levels and thermals of the adjustable RGB fans are impressive. Does it beat the PowerColor Red Devil?
The RX 5500 Navi is AMD's ambitious attempt to disrupt the sub-$200 graphics card market just as the RX 5700 series did to the sub-$400 market, bringing in much needed competition. It won't be easy as NVIDIA tried to preempt it with the GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660 Super.
NVIDIA's new GTX 1650 Super is 40% faster than the GTX 1650, which is a huge improvement. The card is priced competitively, too, obsoleting AMD's Radeon RX 580/590 offerings. MSI's Gaming X variant comes with a large cooler that offers great temperatures, extremely low gaming noise, and idle-fan-stop.
Zotac's GTX 1650 Super Twin Fan is only 16 cm long, which makes it a great choice for an SFF system or media PC. The card still offers plenty of gaming performance, exceeding the Radeon RX 580. Overclocking potential is outstanding; we managed to unlock over 10% in additional real-life performance.
Palit's GTX 1650 Super StormX OC is tiny, and barely longer than your PCIe slot at 16 cm, and has a single-fan heatsink; but looks can be woefully deceiving. This turned out to be the the fastest GTX 1650 Super we tested on launch day, toppling many segment leaders along the way.
EVGA's GeForce GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra is priced at NVIDIA MSRP of $230 yet comes with an overclock out of the box. The cooler is also decent, offering temperatures comparable to much more expensive custom designs. Idle-fan-stop and a metal backplate are included, too.
The XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra is a brand new triple-fan design from the company, which runs higher clocks, too. XFX listened to criticism and improved the memory cooling plate, reducing temperatures and noise levels significantly, which makes the THICC III one of the quietest RX 5700 XT cards out there.
The MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X comes with a large dual-fan cooler that makes it the quietest GTX 1660 Super we've reviewed today. It also comes with the highly popular idle-fan stop feature. Temperatures are good, too, and a backplate is included as well.
Gigabyte designed an upscale-looking GeForce GTX 1660 Super using a heavy heatsink and triple fans with idle fan-stop to boot. It also comes with the largest factory overclock and largest power limit increase of all the GTX 1660 Super cards we've tested today.
The ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Super is priced at just $230, matching NVIDIA MSRP pricing. Physically the card is very compact, measuring just 17.5 x 12 cm, which ensures it will fit into all cases. Unfortunately the small size limits what the cooler can do in terms of heat and noise.
Palit's GeForce GTX 1660 Super GamingPro OC is just $5 more expensive than the NVIDIA MSRP, yet offers a dual-fan cooler that delivers good temperatures. For the small price increase, you even get a backplate, something other cards in this price range don't include.
ZOTAC brings us a practical GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card that comes with a factory overclock and just enough features to get your gaming rig up and going without it breaking the bank - the price increase over MSRP is $20.
MSI's GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming Z Trio comes with super-fast 16 Gbps Samsung memory chips which overclock very well, reaching almost 2.3 GHz. The large triple-slot, triple-fan cooler, which has fan-stop, runs extremely quietly and will almost be inaudible during heavy gaming.
