![]() ![]() Starting at 1080p, the RX 5700 can pretty do everything at 60fps+ on max settings no problem, so you're unlikely to notice any difference whatsoever between it and the RTX 2060 brothers unless you've got a monitor with a high refresh rate. In some games it's got the same crispy, bacon-y whiff of the RTX 2060, while in others it's a full-blown Super juicy bit of tomato. But it's also nestled so closely between its fellow Nvidia fillings that sometimes it's difficult to tell them apart. I don't think I've seen a blander, more boring-looking graphics card in my entire life. I mean, looks-wise it's the very definition of lettuce. Overall, the RX 5700 is like the lettuce in a BLT sandwich. Either way, Nvidia's going to have to work a heck of a lot harder to justify spending that extra $50 - especially if you couldn't care less about having slightly fancier shadows and ray traced reflections. At least that's what MSI's Afterburner software was reporting, anyway. Personally, I saw speeds much closer to its max boost clock speed during my benchmarks, with the RX 5700 regularly hitting at least 1700MHz in both Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. That's the same amount of memory as the RTX 2060 Super, and a pretty much identical base and 'game' clock speed as its Super rival, which sits at 1470MHz and 1650MHz. Armed with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, the RX 5700 has a base clock speed of 1465MHz, a so-called 'game clock' of 1625MHz (which is the speed AMD say you'll most likely see when playing games), and a maximum boost clock of 1725MHz. Here's how it stacks up.įirst, let's talk specs. It might not support any of that ray tracing malarkey, but as a raw performance proposition, it's a highly compelling bit of kit. Once set to cost the same the RTX 2060 Super, it's now available for just £340 / $349 - the same price as the normal RTX 2060. In another corner, we've got the RTX 2060 Super, Nvidia's new 1440p contender that costs £379 / $399 and offers effectively RTX 2070 levels of performance for about $100 less than an actual RTX 2070. Priced from £310 / $349, it's currently my top best graphics card recommendation for anyone looking to buy a graphics card for top notch 1440p gaming. ![]() In one corner, we've got Nvidia's entry-level ray tracing card, the RTX 2060. So let's take stock of where everything stands. The RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT were back in the game and I've literally never been more excited. It was like the graphics card equivalent of a sick burn and blazing hot mic drop. Not content to let Nvidia steal the show, however, AMD then made a surprise comeback in the form of an unexpected Navi price cut. Offering superior performance for roughly the same price as AMD's Navi GPUs, it looked like it was curtains for AMD before they'd even had a chance to bust out their best dance moves. Just as we were getting all excited about the launch of two Big Navi cards, Nvidia went and crashed the party with their pair of RTX Super cards. What a whirlwind week it's been over in graphics card land. ![]()
