Sub-$150 GPUs in 2023 | RTX 2060 6GB vs RX 5600 XT

[@pleasantivan]

5600 XT converted me from team green to team red. Bought one almost a year ago brand new with extended warranty for $150, wasn't dissappointed. Coming from 1050 Ti, this was a delightful experience.

[@dylanantila4992]

Same but I got mine for £120

[@rapu4]

I'd probably hop over to Team Red, but for now, DLSS beats FSR so badly that I can't yet hop over unless I buy a seriously powerful AMD card that doesn't need any such wizardry

[@pleasantivan]

@@rapu4 I would probably do the same, but the reason I did what I did (not mentioning the price tag, of course) is just that I don't have any interest in new and high-techy games. Probably the most advanced games I play on this card are Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3 and MW2022, and the card handles them all pretty well.

[@rapu4]

@@pleasantivan Yeah I've got a RTX 2060, probs going to upgrade it fairly soon, but I'm really impressed with how good DLSS is. I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 1440p DLSS balanced at a mostly stable 60fps, dropping to 50-55 in some really populated areas

I would personally just spend that tiny extra for an actual 5700XT. There is no guarantee that the 5700 you would buy could handle the increased clocks, not to mention that flashing a vbios can go wrong.

[@83RhalataShera]

@@AlexHusTech "Just use more power tools", my point is that you aren't guaranteed that the silicon you buy can handle it consistently, it's basically like telling people "Yeah X GPU has this performance, but I have managed to overclock the one that I have with these settings and now it is 15% faster so you guys should just do that instead of spending like 30 extra euros and get that performance guaranteed, with a cooler that was meant for it (even tho some coolers in the 5000 series were awful even for the gpu they were built for) and a chip that passed quality control for that level of clocks/power/etc..". Sorry, I don't care that even 80% of the cards "can do it" AMD disabled the 4 CUs and turned down the clocks on the Navi 10 chip for a reason, chances are that a lot of people who would buy the 5700 under the impression that they are just going to magically flash a bios or unlock limits with more power tools and get "free performance" would get severely disappointed when their GPU would suddenly be really hot and loud because the cooler was never built for it or their card was just crashing in games because surprise surprise that Navi 10 chip didn't pass QC for a 5700XT. I think it's fine if you are a tinkerer but I would never feel good about recommending it to a friend who wants a good and reliable second hand value GPU, that's why I don't like people just recommending budget buyers something that might or might not work as they expect and might even result in a dead GPU they spent their money on.

*Yeh 5700XT is a beast*

[@darthwiizius]

It was much maligned at the time but people were being arseholes, it launched at the same ticket price as the 1060 6GB and was a little over 50% faster with the DDR6 offering a huge uplift in memory bandwidth compared to DDR5, it was the last major uplift in performance Nvidia delivered in the midrange. I went for the 8GB Super variant purely because of the way my 6 chip 1060 fell off a cliff compared to the 8 chip AMD DDR5 cards. My Super has stood up well so far and at 3 and half years it's just lasted longer than my 1060 and I'm not replacing it for another year, maybe a little longer. It may be slower than a 5700XT but it's good enough for my usage and I do like playing with the Tensor core witchcraft functions.

[@darthwiizius]

As a 2060Super user I would assert it's all you need, mind you if you reverse Nvidia's memory underclock of 1000MHz and add a little 7% core OC you can increase output significantly, it's the most I've ever got out of monkeying about with the pre-sets on a card. Generally though I just use it stock, I reserve the clocked profile for if want to play Cyberbug or the Worst Optomised of Us, Or Jedi: Force Hair Colouriser.

[@TheVanillatech]

5600XT had zero driver problems. Bought two on day one of release and they never had a single issue. One of them still running to this day in my daughters machine. You might be confusing this with the 5700XT black screen issue, which took 3-4 months to fix (yet only affected a small percentage of people). And yes, 5600XT with the updated BIOS was 20% less expensive than a 2060 but beat it in performance. Matched the 2060S in a handful of games. Really nice cards, if you got one before the prices went absolutely mental.

I just picked up two days ago an RX Vega 64 for $120, which is not too shabby where I live. Undervolted and overclocked I’ve read it can overtake an RX 5600 XT and has the extra VRAM to its benefit. Out of the box it even performs the same as an RX 5600 XT, so I think I’ll be happy with this for a while waiting for either RX 8000 to knock it out of the park (pretty unlikely) or for RX 7000 to appear at decent prices in the used market.

Decent cards, and around 10% faster than a 5600XT on averge, but with double the power draw. Still that won't make a difference unless you keep it for 2 years and game for 8 hours a day, 365 days a year like a madman.

[@matias04894]

Acá en argentina sucede exactamente lo mismo. La diferencia es que discrepo con tu opinión de que la 5700xt domine el mercado de segunda mano como lo hizo la rx 580, ya que el consumo de una 5700xt depende de una fuente de alimentación de un poder tal que alguien que está en el mercado de segunda mano seguramente no tiene.

[@LeGoooze]

Tbh, at this price point and generation ray tracing does not matter. For the 2060 ray tracing is garbage for the most part, the card doesn't have the horsepower to really trace those rays. DLSS is a nice QoL and, for the most part, better than FSR. And, Ironically is the FSR availability what makes a 2060 appealing, since you can choose either upscaling technology available of the game. Personally, if I had to cjoose I would go with the 5700 XT, even if the card consumes more power. Because of its performance it will be able to play new releases st least four to five years from now, even with the 8VRAM buffer. Unless you find a pretty amazing deal on an Nvidia card, go for the AMD. Sure, Nvidia has a lot of the pretty bells and whistles but AMD bests the crap of out it on price/performance and the Adrenaline software is so good. I've used AMD cards since my first custom PC snd I don't regret it any bit. The RTX series has been tempting, but when I see their horrendous price, yeah, no thanks, it's not worth it.

[@83RhalataShera]

Mining is not an issue if the miner wasn't a dumbass honestly (which can hard to find out as a buyer to be fair). When I still had my 5700XT in my gaming PC back during the mining craze I was doing some minor testing with crypto mining since the 5700XT was good at it and most guides by knowledgeable miners always recommended heavily undervolting the GPU core which resulted in much lower temperatures than while gaming at stock settings. Couple that with blowing the dust off the card regularly and there really isn't a problem with ex-mining cards. Especially since during mining the GPU stays roughly at same temperature all the time, while the temperatures in a typical gaming workload are more up and down, which is actually worse for the health of a chip (even tho it is still fine imo, GPUs are not princesses, they don't break/degrate as easily as many people seem to believe). I ended up trading my 5700XT for a 6700XT with a miner (since the 6700XT has a smaller memory bus it is worse at mining but better at gaming so they had around the same market value) and it was in perfect condition and still runs great with good temps 2 years later. Yes, an anecdote but I really think that if the miner isn't a pig then it shouldn't be a problem

[@mr.inspector3935]

Have not seen JASON, but since youve matched to focus the video on exactly the cards I wanted to look up for my next upgrade. So you got the like regardless

[@Tofuey]

I would have liked to see some Dlss results with this as well. If you are looking at older rtx cards I think it would be cool to see how DLSS helps keep these older cards going

[@pcgamers2203]

I love your video, man 💯🔥

[@podio_km4g532]

always watched iceberg tech, never thought i would have used one of his videos for buying advices

[@samcadwallader2899]

5700 XT was the competitor at the time to the 2060 on price. In the secondhand market where I live they are still similarly priced.

[@dex6316]

The 5700XT was never the 2060’s competitor. It competed with the 2060 Super on price. The 5700 was closer to the 2060’s price, but that launch saw the 2060 dip below MSRP. It even dropped to 300 to compete with the 5600XT on price. At the time it was faster by a decent margin. Edit: I’m talking about US pricing. Your point may be correct in a market that I’m not familiar with.

[@samcadwallader2899]

@@dex6316 maybe in your market. That wasn't the case where I lived.

[@majicdude88]

The RX 5700 XT was a direct competitor to the RTX 2060. They were around the same MSRP. The 5600XT was priced what the GTX 1660 Super cost. The 2060 Super came out to take the advantage back from the RX 5700 XT

[@letto18]

I wonder, but how much value would there be paying double for something like a 3060 TI or even a 3070? Here in Ontario Canada a 2060 or 5700 XT would be like $150-180+ CAD while a 3060 TI/3070 could be had for $300ish CAD

[@letto18]

Also if you revisit these 3 cards in the video, I'd reccomended looking at the benchmark program for Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail that got both the RTX 2060 & RX 5600 XT as the reccomended specs for GPU.

[@mobi1785]

Useful video, thank you! A few days ago I bought a used rx 5600 xt for £80. Together with Ryzen 1800x, they make a pretty good pair ;). I am very pleased. In the second computer I have an rx 6600 xt (bought a month ago for £150) paired with a ryzen 2600 and it's very nice too! By the way, I sold the RX 5700 XT in October 2021 for £730 ;). Graphics card prices are a real rollercoaster!

[@tonymallory6978]

My very first build had a 5600xt ended up selling it for double and buying a 3070 for 150 more. Didn’t mind the 5600xt it was but dlss had me interested.

[@Chaos_God_of_Fate]

Feels weird to think that a 5700xt is considered low end. I bought mine when they were first released for 400ish Dollars, right before the shortage (they got up near 2k!) when it was considered a mid to high end card. I'm still plenty happy with it at 1440p 75hz refresh rate- I can mostly max out settings on games. I doubt I'll ever spend more on a new GPU than I did for this, unless I win the lottery which I don't play- so ya, not happening! What's even more ironic is that I also have an r9 Fury Nano that is in my backup PC- on ebay I can get 200-250 for it- much slower but it is becoming very rare/hard to find.

[@joshingwithyahaha]

Weird to think that these were once the flagship cards of a time! Technology moves fast.

[@brzimtrco6142]

Do 5000 series cards support SAM? If they do, did you test with it enabled, every time I see amd lose to nvidia in FH5 I thing abou reBar. My 6700xt went from 90 to 130fps after enabling it.

[@olnnn]

They do but it can be a bit hit and miss depending on the game unlike the 6000 and 7000 series whether it helps or not.

[@brzimtrco6142]

@olnnn still worth a try if you ask me. Tho I know that FH5 needs a lot of vram, which is probably why 5700xt is a lot faster here than 5600xt. Maybe there is no helping the 5600xt here, it just doesn't have enough vram. Plus SAM usually increases vram allocation and dedication, that might be why in certain games with certain gpus it can reduce performance.

[@olnnn]

@@brzimtrco6142 There are videos of it givin the 5700 XT a significant boost in FH4 at least, and videos of it helping the Vega and RX 580 significantly in FH5. Seems even with 5000 series should be on most of the time and just turned off if really needed.

[@samirsiam7]

Hey how did the 6gb vram stand against those new AAA vram hungry games?

[@Sir-Prizse]

My friend and I are currently playing Baldur's Gate 3... we have identical PC specs with one big difference, I use a GTX 1660 Super and he uses a RX 5700 XT.... we both play with the exact same settings and have very similar FPS... But he plays in WQHD and I only in Full HD. The RX 5700 XT is an powerhouse... Unfortunately, power is the right keyword, his 500 Watt be quiet! System Power 9 power supply buckled under the RX 5700 XT only after three years and we had to replace it today. My goal is to keep electricity consumption as low as possible, because I pay €0.39 per kWh ... so when I upgrade, I will go for an RTX 4070.

[@fenrir_szn6978]

Bought my ex miner 5600xt for $80 and I don't think I could get better value anywhere else. It does have a high junction temp tho (97) while the rest of the card is in the low 70s

[@TRSH_AIMNOTFOUND]

5:12 track?

[@raresmacovei8382]

What this video done with AMD drivers 23.7.2? Because if yes, AMD FINALLY enabled DXNAVI for RDNA1. And improvements from that can be seen in God of War for example.

[@ironthrone9455]

it will be nice if you show us some fps,usage of gpu and...

[@Darth001]

Having gone from a desktop to a gaming laptop with a 6gb rtx 4050 it's worth to see how well 6gb cards now adays

[@joemarais7683]

Considering the 2060 is basically a slightly worse 3060 which is basically the 4060, it’s such a steal at current prices

[@HourRomanticist]

Bought 2 1080's off ebay. Very happy with them. Obviously support is dwindling but i dont plan on playing any newer AAA games anytime soon. Im using one for a sleeper build and ill give one to my brother for Christmas. About $110 each.

[@thewacokidd06]

I built my 7 year old a pc out of used parts recently using an i5 9500, rtx 2060 6gb and 16 gb of 2666 ddr4. Glad to see I made a good choice with his $120 rtx 2060

[@neverletthemtameyou]

Thanks for another great video. I have a suggestion. Don't know if it's a good one or not. I know FPS is easy to compare. But how about setting a target FPS, say 60 or whatever - depending on the card - and then seeing how good quality graphics you can get? Since I am from the C64 era, anything above 30 FPS has me turning up the quality. Cheers.

[@iamspencerx]

I got a 5600xt for 125€ a couple of months ago, i was worried about my 330w PSU but it seems doing fine

[@darthwiizius]

Have you tried turning the memory clock on the 2060 up to 8000MHz? I can do this on my 2060S which is set out of the box to 7000MHz, alongside a small core OC of 7% it has significant effects on output, and yes it's stable I ran it like this unbroken for 2 months to test it with zero crashes, I still have the profile saved for if I ever want to play The Last of Us.

[@nolimitza.j5063]

These types of videos are my little heaven

[@extrajava9175]

Still remember the good ole days you could get a HD 7850 or gtx 760 for under 250

[@casey5641]

I remember the 5600xt going for 900 Canadian during peak COVID

[@scarfaceReaper]

In my country if I convert it to dollars a rx 6800XT used goes for $300 - $400....is it ok and the Rx 6900XT is just $450 refurbished

[@rogofos]

where I live, in this price range you have the choice between 2060, 5700xt and *1080ti* I think it's clear what I think is the better choice here

[@joshferguson9217]

the only problem i have with the 5700xt is they dont have single fan cards for my itx build. and the 6600 itx versions are super expensive. sad times. good vid

[@ozan1516]

can you make a video with sub200/250 second hand cards

[@BREEZYM6015]

GTX 1060 6GB vs RTX 2060 6GB. How much of a didifference is there?

[@virtious8]

I went from a 1060 3GB to a 2060 6GB it’s probably about 50%. So if you are getting around 50fps on the 1060 you’ll get around 75fps on the 2060.

[@patrykkozanecki9576]

Actually 5600XT with the unlocked bios flashed and overclocked to 2100MHz has like RTX2060 Super performance. I bought one like half year ago for 100 Eur and it was the best bang for the buck at the time. Cyberpunk at 1080p and ultra settings with Ryzen 5600 run at 59fps and 69 using FSR 2.1 I sold it for 120 Eur recently and I wanted to upgrade to 5700xt for 150eur which is the best performance for the money you can buy now. I managed to get 6700xt for 225eur used msi mech 2 so I pulled the trigger on that. It overclocks very good as well :)

[@ashce10]

Nice and fast video, I'm gonna assume that's because your schedule was tight to have these scheduled to go up on your vacation. I like the 2060 but I feel it and other 20 cards are holding onto price too well because of DLSS. Though it is an attractive point for these cards. The 5600xt isn't too shabby either but I find 6gb of VRAM is becoming limiting. Still at $120~ it's pretty good. Hope you're having a good vacation iceberg!

[@-J2gross]

Bro I just got a 2070 do a video on that please

[@stratuvarious8547]

I love your videos, but as I already have a RX 6900 XT, should I still buy a RX 5700 XT?

[@MaDawg-sw7wb]

i literally just sold my pc with i5 10400f + rx 5600 xt and the customer really liked the performance of that pc

[@GTR72]

5700 and 5700 XT both costs less than 2060, they are the best value for budget builds right now. I was able to get both cards at around $120 CAD each. That's less than a 1660 Ti where I live let alone 2060 😅

[@hcsheat111]

My Rx 580 8gb lowkey struggles in a few games I play at only 1080p theese new cards only have 8gb is crazy

[@nickwort123]

Man, 5700xt was such a good card. It handled absolutely everything I threw at it without issue

[@AlexHusTech]

It's still a great card :) just higher power draw compared to the newer stuff.
