AMD Navi RX 5700 Review: Can It Beat Nvidia RTX 2060 and 2060 Super?

Two Navi cards arrive at launch - after the price drop drama, is the Radeon RX 5700 fast enough take on RTX 2060 and even RTX 2060 Super? Rich takes a look.

Well, at least finally it's the end of 'Wait for Navi' meme..

I am skipping this gen gpus. Will see what 2020 is gonna bring.

I'm gonna need a freesync monitor to process all of Richards hand movements

[jhonrock]

I dont have a problem with the lack of hardware RT on navi. This feature isnt something I think will be satisfactorily explored within this card generation.

LOL 5700XT same price with 2060 super, but with almost ''2070 super'' performance and ppl talking shit or must be blind...

When you said "speaking of faster" at 9:24 i thought you were going to do a sponsor ad. I guess i've watching too much LinusTechTips...

[AudioPhile]

Very interesting, now just have to see how much they're going to be in Australia.

[EhrgeizTV]

Kinda seems pretty unfair to AMD in the conclusion there.

[KotsarisGR]

Obvious price fixing. No one should pay this amount of money for mid range gpus.

Where I live the 5700XT is considerably cheaper than the 2060 super, No contest.

Richard rocking the Lacoste shirt thumbs up

I feel like you've placed a lot of work into these benchmarks and you're an absolute ledge. However, the comparisons on the video were a bit inconsistent. It would be awesome if you keep all the results of the various cards on the screen and actually include something like a 2070 in.

The XT looks like it's been dropped by Linus.

[deivuuk]

Why are these new cards still coming with HDMI 2.0? I thought HDMI 2.1 was the thing to have now?

[videocardsvs]

5700xt almost matches the 2070 super. Nowww wonder Nvidia panicked and made the super series.

[joewhitlow]

Are they powerful enough to run Richard's hand movements in 8K 120FPS?

[redwagon]

When did DF go from questioning MS on having hardware accelerated RT on Scarlet to the definative statement that RT will be on both the PS5 and Scarlet? Did Richard hear something behind the scenes?

[pokemon]

As someone who looks for bang for buck i dont get the hate of the new back gpus as the xt is cheaper than the 2060 super and was better so thats the only thing i need to hear

[dreammfyre]

Where's the hell is this gen's 1060 equivalent card? The budget variant of the 1060 launched at $199($249 for the 6GB) almost THREE years ago now. Launching the current *60 variant at effin $399, only now dropping the price to $350 is just awful. It should be 100 dollars lower. And AMD had a golden opportunity here to win back the lower end section of the market for the first time in like a decade, but they of course botched it.
