The RX 590 I'm looking at has a high TDP, so I was thinking RTX 2060

the price seperation between these two are quite significant. 

 

but the RTX 2060 is the faster of the two (and the pricier one)

The RTX 2060 is sometimes, depending the game and API, faster than even the Vega64 so if you're after performance it's a clear pick.

the vega is the faster card by about 5-10%
