NVIDIA RTX 2060 vs AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT: Which 1080p Graphics Card to Buy? (PROACTIVE)edit

The conclusion is a no brainer. The Radeon RX 5600 XT wins by a decent margin. On top of that, it’s cheaper too. EVGA’s RTX 2060 KO Edition is only available in the US and is now going for $329. As for the vast majority of gamers, the RTX 2060 still costs nearly $350. AMD’s RX 5600 XT now starts at just $269 and all models come with 14Gbps memory and near-5700 level boost clocks. You just can’t go wrong here.

AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: Which Graphics Card Should You Buy? (PROACTIVE)edit

As you can see, the RX 5600 XT is clearly made for high-end 1080p gaming while the 5700 is better suited for 1440p 60 FPS. While the former can still run most titles at QHD without any problems, you’ll run into VRAM bottlenecks in certain titles. Considering that the RX 5700 costs just ~$40-50 more, it’s a small price to pay for markedly smoother gameplay and a bit of future-proofing.

Xbox Series S “Lockhart” GPU specs leak: 1280 shader core Navi GPU slower than Xbox One X, AMD Radeon 5500XT – can it really do 1080p/60 FPS?edit

New details have just emerged about the GPU used in the Xbox Series S “Lockhart.” Microsoft’s purported entry level 9th generation console is set to feature 20 RDNA CUs, meaning 1280 shader cores. This compares favourably with AMD’s Radeon RX 5500XT graphics card in the PC space, which features a 22 CU configuration with 1408 shaders. If earlier rumors claiming that Lockhart would deliver 4 TFLOPs of compute are correct, this would mean that the Xbox Series S’s GPU might be running at substantially lower clockspeeds than the Xbox Series X GPU and, indeed, other Navi parts.

Best Motherboards for AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs in 2020 [July Update]edit

AMD recently announced that it would support its next-gen Ryzen 4000 CPUs on existing 400 series boards, in addition to the newer B550 and X570 chipsets. While that’s good news for owners of the older motherboards, we’d strictly advise against buying a B450 or X470 board. There are certain caveats that will limit 400 series owners after they flash the beta BIOS meant for the newer processors.
