Ther

card’

the Radeon RX 5700 XT
for a comparison with the
GeForce RTX 2070, that’s
completely changed now
with its price drop just a day
ahead of launch. At virtually
the same price as the NVIDIA
GeForce RTX 2060 Super, it
is also consistently faster,
which makes for some
seriously stiff competition.

On average, the Radeon

RX 5700 XT was between 10

and 15 percent faster than

the GeForce RTX 2060 Super.

However, it’s worth

mentioning that NVIDIA

still has the upper-hand

when it comes to real-time

ray-tracing. At the moment,

that isn’t a super big deal

since not many titles use it,

but E3 saw a slate of AAA

games announce support

for the feature, including

hotly anticipated titles like

Cyberpunk 2077, Watchdogs:

Legion, Call of Duty: Modern

Warfare, and Atomic Heart.

When 2020 rolls around, it’s

possible that the Radeon RX

5700 XT’s lack of ray tracing

acceleration will feel slightly

more glaring.
