SeekerAMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
Radeon RX 5700 XT stands up better to GeForce RTX 2060 Super than we expected at the same $400 price point, simultaneously eclipsing the performance of Radeon RX Vega 64 in the process. AMD’s own Radeon VII is slightly faster, but also significantly more expensive. Although a lack of hardware for accelerating ray tracing does hurt the Radeon’s value proposition in our opinion, gamers who insist they aren’t interested in the technology have a good alternative for smooth 1440p frame rates.
