Best Graphics Cards for 1440p Gaming in 2020: NVIDIA GeForce vs AMD Radeonedit

Traditionally, we’d keep the top-end spot for the GeForce RTX 2070 Super and the budget and midrange options for the Navi 10 GPU. However, recently the prices of the Super card have soared up to $550+ which honestly is just too much for a modest 5-10% performance gain (and ray-tracing support in a handful of AAA games). You’re basically looking at a $200 premium for a mere handful of frames.

AMD Ryzen 3600XT boosts to a remarkable 4.6 GHz in 3DMark: Core i5-10600K performance for US$60 less?edit

Tipster @_rogame recently shared a 3DMark listing for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 5 3600XT, showing the midrange CPU clear the 4.6 GHz mark. The leaked listing was spotted over two weeks before AMD plans to ship the Ryzen 5 3600XT, the Ryzen 7 3700XT, and the Ryzen 9 3900XT.  At 4.6 GHz, the enhanced “XT” chip boosts significantly higher than the vanilla Ryzen 5 3600X. Better yields over time mean that the Ryzen 5 3600XT could offer better all-core overclocks, too, compared to the older 3600X.
