demonstrated the Radeon
RX 5700 toppling the
GeForce RTX 2060 across a
spectrum of games at
1440p, and the RX 5700 XT
more narrowly beating the
RTX 2070.
Can AMD’s forward-
thinking (but ray-tracing-
less) tandem triumph over
these much more ferocious
RTX Super GPUs though?
Anything’s possible with a
completely revamped architecture. Given
what AMD showed at E3, it seems unlikely.
But we’ve been waiting for Navi for a long
time. We’ll learn what the Radeon RX 5700 is
made of soon enough.
Nvidia may have ruined Radeon’s big
day—or AMD’s major architectural overhaul
could blow our minds. Now, however,
there’s no doubt that Nvidia’s surprise reveal
of the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and
GeForce RTX 2070 Super shakes up the
status quo for every high-end graphics
south of the monstrous GeForce RTX
2080 Ti.
Nvidia’s RTX Super graphics cards kick
ass, take names, and come highly
recommended. We’ll see if that holds true. It’s
an exciting time to be a PC gamer!
