Rx 5600xt or rtx 2060

[Flyingchickennugget27]

Hello i built my pc and it worked fine for a few days then it started crashing after a few minutes, turns out the gpu was faulty (it was a gigabyte gaming oc triple fan rx 5600 xt). I want to return it but idk if i should get another rx 5600 xt or a different card like the rtx 2060 or gtx 1660 ti

If you want to still go with a 5600XT, get a Sapphire Pulse or Powercolor Red Dragon, as those come with the 14Gbps vBIOS out of the box, meaning it performs about on par with a 2060. Without that, it's closer to the 1660 Super or 1660Ti.

Are you happy to accept that one faulty example of a card is as much a fluke as a total bust?

Rogue DOA items exist with any product... one bad example is NOT indicative of every card being a bad one.

Even Rolls Royces break down - it just never makes the news...

Reliability...? No-one can give you a 100% guarantee.

Performance of a working unit?  What with...?

 

EDIT:

Capability within a specific game...? Again, what one & what target resolution...?

[thedangerine]

Personally I would go for the rtx 2060, if you can manage to find one in stock at a fair price that is

are you not read what OP is asking?

 

he wants to get a new card, he's asking which is better a NEW 5600xt, a NEW 1660ti or a NEW 2060.

 

 

back to OP. get either the 2060 or 5600XT, which ever is cheaper and in stock at the time of purchase, they are close enough to each other that it wouldn't make a huge difference.

My take is that OP wants a cast iron reliability guarantee of a card working, based off a DOA of a single card.

If the question IS 'Should I have bought the 5600XT in the first place (even if it wasn't DOA)...?'. then I didn't see that as being asked.

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion...

 

"I had a 5600XT that broke, so i'm going to take it back and get a new card, should i get another 5600xt or something like a 2060 or 1660ti?"

 

They are referring to performance, you're reading into a context that isn't there.

The rtx 2060 ko from evga is a few dollars cheaper than the gigabyte gaming oc 5600xt

... of the same brand?

... of another brand?

 

Having worked in retail, it's a viable option to exchange like for like on DOA.

Objection to this could easily have cemented a dislike of a whole brand based on a single DOA example... it happens.

One of my cousins refuses to buy from EVGA because he had one bad experience with them on replacing a dead gpu under warranty, this happened like 10 years ago at least and I was like dude that was one time and I have heard a lot of good stuff about their customer service I doubt you will have another experience like that. My dad is the same way with HP again from a bad experience from well over 10 years ago, like give them another shot geez

who cares? a 5600xt is an 5600xt

OP was considering getting another 5600XT BECAUSE the other one broke, but wantd to know if a 2060 or the 1660ti would be a better option.

Their question has nothing to do with any of what you're saying.
