2060 Super vs 5700xt

[Aidan.69420]

Deciding over an EVGA 2060s or a GIGABYTE Rx 5700 xt.  Both are exact same price.  I’ve heard AMD has bad drivers, and EVGA has great customer service.  I’ve been made aware that the 5700 xt is more powerful, but I’m wondering if I’ll notice a difference between the two if I’m gaming on a 144hz  1080p monitor?

I can confirm from past experience that EVGA's customer support is fantastic. (My old 970 was an EVGA card).

 

But I currently have a 5700xt, and so far have had no issues. AMD's new 2020 Adrenaline software seems to have been a huge improvement and the drivers are stable thus far. As far as if you will notice a difference for 144hz @ 1080, I guess that depends what games you're playing. I personally am running at 2560x1440 so I can't say either way. I would check reviews/benchmarks, but I think either card should be sufficient. (The 5700xt might be a bit more future proof, since as you said it is the more powerful card here. And if they're the same price I see no reason not to go 5700xt)

Simple solution to it is , if you want the best performance and want as many fps as you can for that price point then buy RX 5700 XT but if you can compromise a bit on performance and want "RTX ON" then go for 2060 super!!!! Simple af

I have a Power Color Red Devil 5700xt.

 

Also side note: I guess I can't say with absolute 100% certainty that I have had zero driver issues. I have had a handful of crashes since I built this PC, but I also don't know if they were directly graphics driver related. So far I still think I had just as many issues with my 970 from Nvida, so I will still recommend the 5700xt.

 

And regarding raytracing on the 2060s, I would probably say its not worth it since from what I've heard the 2060s isn't powerful enough to use ray-tracing in most AAA games anyway. But who knows, maybe in titles like Minecraft which I believe have upcoming raytracing upgrades it would work great.
