When it launched a 12 months in the past in January 2019, the GeForce RTX 2060 commanded a $349 price-point, which was largely unfazed by AMD’s introduction of the Radeon RX 5700 on the similar value. The RX 5700 is quicker than the RTX 2060, however NVIDIA most likely counted on ray-tracing to promote the cardboard. The new RX 5600 XT modifications the panorama dramatically, if AMD’s efficiency claims maintain true. The whole GTX 16-series is outclassed at a sub-$300 value matching that of the highest GTX 1660 Ti half, and there is no ray-tracing {hardware} to bail them out, both. NVIDIA may minimize costs, however these would pancake the already cluttered product-stack. The solely different choice (which NVIDIA took), was to chop costs of the RTX 2060. It stays to be seen what AMD’s subsequent transfer is. With the RX 5700-series, it pulled off a last-minute price-cut forward of launch.
