The good news is, with the release of the RX 5700 XT, the RX 5700 's price is getting more discount. AMD ’s xx00 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the RDNA 1.0 graphics card inside the RX 5700, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this RX 5700 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX Vega 56, by boasting 17.5 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RX 5700 blows past the RX Vega 56 and, amazingly, even the RX Vega 64 as well.
Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 2060, the RX 5700 was 4.5 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 5700 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX Vega 56 and it really justifies an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space, Metro Exodus, God of War, Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 62 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Anthem, Final Fantasy XV, Watch Dogs: Legion, Gears of War 5, Need For Speed: Heat at 61 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 63 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play World War Z, F1 2018, Overwatch 2, Valorant at 65 fps to 160 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 92 fps.
The good news is, with the release of the RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 2080 's price is getting more discount. Spec for spec, this RTX 2080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1080, by boasting 25.2 % more fps.
Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 2080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1080, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Halo Infinite, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077 at 61 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.
For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Total War: Warhammer III, Borderlands 3, Elden Ring, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, God of War at 61 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Resident Evil 4, F1 2019, World War Z, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V at 61 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.
