AMD's RX 5600 XT Is a Midrange Champion
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) made some big claims when it announced the $279 RX 5600 XT graphics card earlier this month. Priced the same as NVIDIA's (NASDAQ: NVDA) GTX 1660 Ti, the RX 5600 XT provided up to 20% better performance in AAA PC games, according to AMD's testing.
NVIDIA responded to AMD's announcement with a price cut on a more expensive graphics card. NVIDIA brought the price of the RTX 2060 down from $349 to $299, making it the de facto competitor to AMD's latest midrange graphics card.
Based on third-party reviews of the RX 5600 XT, NVIDIA's price cut wasn't enough to swing the value proposition in its favor. Tom's Hardware ran a full slate of tests on an overclocked version of the RX 5600 XT from board partner Sapphire, finding that the card beat out the RTX 2060 in most cases.
