is the palit 2060super worth 10€ more than a sapphire rx5700xt nitro+?

[ChemicalM]

i am assembling a pc and the monitor (already ordered) is the aoc c241g, so 1080p and 144hz. i am trying to squeeze every little money i can, but if there is difference between the 2 i can spend 10€ more

 

Thanks

If you're trying to get the most out of your money, then definitely go for the 5700XT. It's closer to a 2070S in terms of performance, rather than to the 2060S, on average.

So if you have 1080p and want dxr the 2060S will be nice, if you have 1440p and dont care about dxr at all and the 2060s will be short at 1440p with dxr on get the 5700xt as it gets more fps in most of the games. 

 

I think the 5700xt is a better buy, but get a good cooler one, Red devil or Nitro+.

thanks. the only doubt i have is the driver problems that amd can have (and i don't really know how good is the palit, certanly is not and EVGA or MSI)

palit 2060s

nitro+ 5700xt

 

those are the cards, and the monitor is a 1080p 144hz. no 1440p for me now

From what I've heard in the past few weeks, the driver situation has improved on the AMD side. I mean, I've still seen people complain about black screens and so forth, but not even close to what it used to be like. Also, if you can get your hands on the Nitro+ 5700XT for cheaper than a low-end 2060S then that's a really great deal, as that's one of the highest-end models out there for the 5700XT.

I had the Sapphire Nitro + in the RX580 but for the 5700 XT I went for the Sapphire Pulse OC - that was based on advice on here and Gamers Nexus 5700XT roundup video which put the Pulse OC as close runner up to the Gigabyte Gaming OC

is there that much difference between nitro+ , gaming oc or  pulse? if so, care to explain? 

 

 the blower style model is like 50€ less, but i don't think it's worth.

Some minor differences.Here are the product pages with specs.

The Nitro is technically the higher spec card but I went for the Pulse because Gamers Nexus gave it the seal of approval and I preferred the 2 fan design.

I think in reality you won't notice any difference in performance between the two, just go for the one you like best.
