did you filter out bad cards like the blower models and MSI Ventus?

they are both within margin of error with each other.

 

so yes, which ever is cheaper

you do notice the 2060 cost more, right?

 

also sapphire pulse & gigabyte cards of 5700 are much better options

Will you be streaming? If yes, i'd probably go with the RTX card, if your only gonna be gaming, then again, just get whichever cheaper. (I don't understand why you think that's not an option, just compare the two when you are buying and get whichever cheaper lol)

seems like the filtering hasn't really gone well  The Mech OC is basically the Evoke so expect worse than average GDDR6 temperatures as well as louder than average coolers. The Gigabyte Gaming card isn't bad for the 2060S, cost less than the overkill Zotac Amp Extreme

 

I'd choose between the Sapphire Pulse RX5700 and Gigabyte Gaming 2060S, of which it will depend on whether you  do streaming and recording or not. AMD's AMF encoder on Navi has improved beyond Vega and Polaris and match Pascal (imo), but Turing's NVENC encoder is still better in quality and performance.

I would give you three answers:

 

The 5700 is the better deal over the 2060 Super as it is significantly cheaper, but it performs similarly. If you are looking for a deal, i.e. to save money, go AMD.

The only reason to go nVidia would be if you are either in a very desperate need of ShadowPlay, or whatever software you use is biased towards nVidia (most notably its CUDA cores).

 

If you can extend your budget to the RTX 2060 Super, and have no need of nVidia's specific features, I think it is a good idea to look into the RX 5700 XT. The Sapphire Pulse will cost you the same (or even slightly less) than the Gigabyte 2060 Super, and it will perform significantly better.

It costs ~$50 more than the non-XT version, with enough difference in performance to justify the price difference, which is also around the price of the new COD, and I think it is better to invest those money in performance and get the game separately, instead of getting a game for the value that could have given you much better performance.

 

If you want both performance AND the game, the 2060 Super is the way to go. I think this is the most relevant answer to your conundrum.

You will get better performance (not to mention CUDA cores and hardware encoder) and can get the new COD for free.

The 5700 would not perform as well as the 2060S (very close, but not the same).

The 5700 XT will require that you pay an extra sum for COD.

But the 2060 Super will give you performance comparable to the XT version for $60 less (note that those $60 are the price of the game at launch, not the cards themselves).

 

So I think you would get the best bang for your buck with the 2060 Super.

And I am saying this as a 5700 XT user, so I can assure you there is no product-bias in my response.

I second this.

 

Really, the RTX 2060S is is only worth it if you are doing content creation tasks.

 

I keep my buddy on NVIDIA strictly because he does a lot of work in Adobe After Effects and Premiere. NVIDIA support is simply better for those applications.

 

If he were upgrading from the GTX 1060 I stuck him on a year and a half ago, I would have him go with either a 2060S or spring for the 2070S. An RX 5700 would be out of the question.
