Sub-$150 GPUs in 2023 | RTX 2060 6GB vs RX 5600 XT

This was my choice before pre pandemic. Got the Sapphire Pulse RX5600XT at release date for $300ish and the price of 2060 before was $400

Iceberg Tech : damn....I've seen benchmakrs where the 5600 XT is on paar or better than the RTX 2070, I've seen them being on paar with the RTX 2060 super and benchmarks where it's slower than the RTX 2060 and on paar with the GTX 1070 nonTI.
Well I have an Asus Strix GTX 1070 8GB, Asus Strix RX 5600 XT 6GB 14GBPs and an MSI RTX 2070 Super Gaming X 8GB....well the RX 5600 XT is really really breathing down the neck of the 2070 Super....and in reality it's an RTX 2070 8GB competitor in my testings and constantly trades blows with it. The 2060 and 2060 Super are behind it in every game. I build rigs partially as my job and I have access to every model of a GPU this way throughout the years. I myself have owned around 80 different GPU-s since the age of 3D-FX Voodoo 2 12 MB....and have tested and played with 200+ at leats.
And I have a Ryzen 7 5800X with a 64 GB 3600 MH/T CL16 memory.
So yeah....there is smth very very fishy with many reviewers here....and I am not blaming you specifically....but some of them either don't know how to test or they skew the results intentionally in favor of Nvidia.

I always feel amd image looks more punchy and vivid. Which i like.

Bruh people try to sell used 2060 for 200-250 eur

Please help me how to lower temp of RTX 2060, its getting 80°c even on undervolt mode.

I got a 5600xt for 125€ a couple of months ago, i was worried about my 330w PSU but it seems doing fine

Sup $150? I was lucky to find my 5600 XT for $200. It was quite literally the only listing on eBay that was less than $201, and it was refurbished. This was back in April or may. Damn it, I'm so pissed.

Useful video, thank you! A few days ago I bought a used rx 5600 xt for £80. Together with Ryzen 1800x, they make a pretty good pair ;). I am very pleased. In the second computer I have an rx 6600 xt (bought a month ago for £150) paired with a ryzen 2600 and it's very nice too! By the way, I sold the RX 5700 XT in October 2021 for £730 ;). Graphics card prices are a real rollercoaster!

I just picked up a 5700 for 108 shipped on ebay

My Rx 580 8gb lowkey struggles in a few games I play at only 1080p theese new cards only have 8gb is crazy

GTX 1080 is KING!!

Awesome video! why not include the ARC 380?

These types of videos are my little heaven

it will be nice if you show us some fps,usage of gpu and...

I got rx 5600 xt for 100 euro.
Powerful card for the price.

A more realistic comparison with the 5700xt would be the 2060 Super.

I would recommend looking at the rx6650xt, it isn't that popular, and is often forgotten, but for the few, like me, who had only a little wiggle room in their budgets, it is a great GPU for less, and handles pretty well, I am able to get a stable 144fps on satisfactory, and 60fps on high-ultra on Battlefield V. I love you video style, and am surprised I only found you a week or so ago.

The 5700 XT is actually cheaper than the 2060 in my area. The 2060 Super is more in line to the 5700 XT. The 2070/2080 are much faster. Don't forget there is also a regular 5700 non XT.

Feels weird to think that a 5700xt is considered low end. I bought mine when they were first released for 400ish Dollars, right before the shortage (they got up near 2k!) when it was considered a mid to high end card. I'm still plenty happy with it at 1440p 75hz refresh rate- I can mostly max out settings on games. I doubt I'll ever spend more on a new GPU than I did for this, unless I win the lottery which I don't play- so ya, not happening!

What's even more ironic is that I also have an r9 Fury Nano that is in my backup PC- on ebay I can get 200-250 for it- much slower but it is becoming very rare/hard to find.

What your driver version on radeon mate

Just got a 5700 XT for $120, looking forward to what this cheap little guy can do.

Can you post an average FPS chart like Hardware Unboxed does? I feel like if it wasn't for Cyberpunk 2077 disproportionately giving 10fps to 2060 wouldn't it drop it down to average being below 5600XT?

"sub-150$" at € the double for a used crap card..
so useless at GER prices for 190€ i can use a rx6600 or at 230€ 6650xt so why buy a 2060 6gb für nearly 300€? the rx 6700xt costs 340€ (my prices are at new price at the amd cards the rtx is used price)

I bought a rx5600xt from Sapphire. Specifically for the low power consumption and low noise even in full load. My PSU is the loudest thing now, on my list to upgrade next... Gaming wise, I play on a 1080p 75hz locked refresh so the rx5600xt is more than enough. Amd chill is on as well. Not a big fan of the latest FPS games, I play mainly RTS games, older games and fortnite/valorant.

You should compare their performances in Skyrim Special Edition & Fallout 4 ... Bethesda's bug engine is always good for a laugh! 😉

5700 and 5700 XT both costs less than 2060, they are the best value for budget builds right now. I was able to get both cards at around $120 CAD each. That's less than a 1660 Ti where I live let alone 2060 😅

the only problem i have with the 5700xt is they dont have single fan cards for my itx build. and the 6600 itx versions are super expensive. sad times. good vid

Thanks!

Winner - 6600XT

day 1 of requesting an i5-9400f review to test 6 threads in new games

Had to choose either 2060/5600xt or ram+ssd upgrade back in late 2020 before the crypto craze. In the end i choose the later. Kinda regret my choice tho. But after tasting the blazing fast loading time vs the snail hdd, im kinda okay with it

Sold 2060 for 135$ and bought 5700xt for 135$ so i m not a coward 😂😂 and Great Work as always

5600xt is already at $99 mark in my country while the 2060 is still around 150-160
That's the price of both 5700xt and rx6600
Get any Radeon is still better value imho

picked up an rtx2060 super a couple days ago for £75, now thats a bargain

Suggestion: Get the Cmp 50Hx and pair it with your 5600g. Should get RTX 2060 performance at USD 75. I succesfully paired a P106-90 (USD 28) with my 5600g using Dartraiden. Performance on that low end tier card is around a GTX 1050.

The 5600xt is a good gpu but 15 dollars us more you could get the 5700xt and is a better buy

I have my 5700 XT sitting in box I got for 130$CAD on Ebay. Think I'm going to put it up against my more modern cards...

5700xt sometimes beats a 2070super at some games… fine wine…

It's crazy how over the past few years (Post Crypto Mining) these cards which are really not too bad for 1080p gaming, are relatively cheap. Your content is always amazing... keep up the great work

I would have liked to see some Dlss results with this as well. If you are looking at older rtx cards I think it would be cool to see how DLSS helps keep these older cards going

Started with a fair fight, but ended with a massacre...

Weird to think that these were once the flagship cards of a time! Technology moves fast.

Still remember the good ole days you could get a HD 7850 or gtx 760 for under 250

Having gone from a desktop to a gaming laptop with a 6gb rtx 4050 it's worth to see how well 6gb cards now adays

With a bit of patience you can find the 5700 XT for under 150. It’s smokes both of these graphics cards by about 20%.

The RX 5600XT for 90€ is the best deal you could get right now.

I just picked up a used Strix GTX 1080 for $100, the lower end market has some insane value to offer. Main advantage of an RTX 2060 would be DLSS, but FSR is still
a good feature to prolong the lifetime of older generation GPUs.

Hey how did the 6gb vram stand against those new AAA vram hungry games?

Bought my ex miner 5600xt for $80 and I don't think I could get better value anywhere else. It does have a high junction temp tho (97) while the rest of the card is in the low 70s
