AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (Sapphire Pulse) Review: Killing the 2060 & 2060 Super in one Blow (PROACTIVE)edit
The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a solid win for AMD. Not only does it trump the RTX 2060 it also manages to perform on par with the $400 2060 Super in certain titles.

The rest of the cards are ~5% slower: 130MHz lower boost clock and 2Gbps slower memory.
