Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce RTX 2060: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce RTX 2060

The Radeon RX 5700 is noticeably faster, around 15% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce RTX 2060 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 2060 currently lists from $315 EUR, $111 EUR less than the Radeon RX 5700 at $426 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 2060 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~17% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 2060 is trading below its $349 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 5700 still sits about $77 EUR above its $349 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce RTX 2060 is the gentler choice at 160W versus 180W. The Radeon RX 5700 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 180W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 5700 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce RTX 2060. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2060 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5700?

Choose the Radeon RX 5700 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 2060 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 5700 better than the GeForce RTX 2060?

The Radeon RX 5700 is noticeably faster, roughly 15% ahead. The GeForce RTX 2060 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 or the Radeon RX 5700?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 5700 worth the extra $111 EUR over the GeForce RTX 2060?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce RTX 2060 comes out ahead.

Does the Radeon RX 5700 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
