RTX 2060 vs RX 5600 XT: Which is Best? – Performance in comparison

If you are a PC gaming lover by now you will have understood it very well: choosing the right video card for your setup is by no means easy. In fact, between nomenclatures of all kinds and ever new technologies it is a moment to get confused and not to ponder one’s choice well. The great competition between AMD and Nvidia has also complicated things even more from this point of view, but at the same time also allowing us to be able to make our decision fall on a large number of valid products at very interesting prices.

In case you are looking for a performing video card and able to tame almost all modern games without too many problems, the two famous companies have thought of different solutions to satisfy you, without necessarily having to spend considerable amounts. After the comparison between Nvidia RTX 2070 Super and the Radeon RX 5700 XT, of which we have talked to you here, this time we go down a little more in price, proposing you a rich overview between Nvidia RTX 2060 and Radeon RX 5600 XT.

Despite a lower price, however, you must not worry at all: in fact, these are two cards that, despite being far from what is offered by the top-of-the-range solutions, are able to offer absolutely satisfying gaming experiences.

In order to guide you in your choice and to lead you to the GPU that best suits your needs and configuration, we have therefore compiled a succulent and full-bodied comparison between the two cards, in such a way as to compose a scenario that knows how to best illustrate these two different video cards.

RTX 2060 vs RX 5600 XT: Comparison of technical data sheets and characteristics

Before even being able to discuss the actual performance of the two GPUs, it is good to dwell on their characteristics and, therefore, on their technical data sheets. Although this is information of great value, however, we invite you not to base your choice solely on these cold numbers: those analyzed today are in fact two video cards from two different manufacturers, with deeply different architectures and difficult to compare. In any case you can find the technical data sheets of Nvidia RTX 2060 ee la Radeon RX 5600 XT conveniently in the table below.

Feature a confronto

The RTX 2060 and the RX 5600 XT they are two GPUs that are decidedly different from each other in terms of architecture: the solution Nvidia is in fact based on Turing, while that AMD on Navi 10. La RX 5600 XT consequently does not present, as can be easily observed in the table above, neither the RT units nor the Tensor cores, which are instead both present in the RTX 2060. This lack means that AMD’s video card supports neither effects RTX, that is the real time ray tracing, nor the deep learning super sampling or DLSS. These are two technologies that allow you to make the gaming experience better from different points of view and which, right now, are exclusive to Nvidia solutions based on Turing architecture.

For those who have no idea what these two technologies are, the Ray Tracing it is a high-impact system, capable of introducing realistic lighting in real time into some titles that can give new life to their technical aspect. Unfortunately, this is a technology that is as beautiful to look at as it is heavy in terms of performance, with our framerate that will definitely suffer when in use. Real time ray tracing is in any case a really impressive technology, as you can see in the video above dedicated to Metro Exodus. DLSS, on the other hand, is a new anti-aliasing system capable of reducing the impact on the performance level of the previously used methods without reducing the quality of the images. Ultimately, two technologies that are absolutely interesting and to be taken into great consideration, but on which not to base your choice exclusively.

RTX 2060 vs RX 5600 XT: Benchmark

As you can easily observe from the graphs below we are faced with two very valid cards, which manage to tame Full HD without too many problems and still offer satisfactory performance even in 1440p. Both the Nvidia RTX 2060 that the Radeon RX 5600 XT they are therefore two video cards that manage to offer good performance at an overall low price. Neither of the two manages to impose itself decisively on the other as regards brute force, but it must however be considered how the AMD product can be purchased for a significantly lower amount than the RTX 2060, on the other hand, not having the innovative technologies discussed in the previous paragraph.

You can see both video cards covered by this comparison in action on a whole series of titles of recent times comfortably in the video below.

RTX 2060 vs RX 5600 XT – Conclusions: Which is the best?

Coming to a definitive decision also in this case is not at all simple: in fact, they are two GPUs of great value at an affordable price, capable of offering overall good performance without compromising too much. On the one hand, as regards the Radeon RX 5600 XT, we have a lower price, which could entice a good part of users, but on the other hand we do not have the Ray Tracing in the DLSS, which we find instead in the Nvidia RTX 2060. Ultimately, therefore, if Nvidia’s peculiar technologies have captured your interest you should orient your choice on RTX 2060, otherwise the RX 5600 XT it will be able to give you performances absolutely in line with the competitor for several tens of euros less.
