Hey,

 

I’m looking for a gpu and I’ve narrowed it down to 2 choices. Should I get a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, or a Radeon RX 5700 XT? I’m considering the 2060 because it has RTX for Minecraft and other light games, and because of the Nvidia game library settings. For the Radeon, it is a top of the line amd gpu with pretty good specs but is a bit pricier at the moment. I’m going to be playing Valorant, Minecraft, Fortnite, and other fairly lightweight games. My cpu is a Ryzen 5 3600.

 

thanks guys

I would go with the 5700xt. 

It's close to the 2070 super. And the 2060 isn't even on the same tier. The 5700xt also has a bigger frame buffer.

Normally i would say nvida but the 5700xt is pretty good. Also RTX is all cool but its something you only try and hardly play with as its pretty taxing as is.

5700XT without a doubt. The impact of Ray Tracing on FPS with a 2060 is just not worth it.
