AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700
“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.”

Digital Trends
The RX 5700 and 5700 XT offer decent value for budget gamers at 1080p/1440p but fall short of Nvidia's RTX Super cards in performance. While price cuts improve their market position, they still lag behind higher-end competitors and struggle with high-end gaming demands.
