AMD Announces Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB at 279 USD

Rich_Guy edited his post so now it looks like I'm just saying something obvious xD

 

I didn't cherry pick anything, that's straight from this very website @Wolter

 

Those benchmarks are flavoring particular situations, vendors and hardware versions. Idiotic metrics to be honest, pointless. That's why they are abandoned after years from many users. Move on.

Websites just need to fill some pages, real life situation though, gaming is what defines PRICING.

 

That's some pretty heavy accusations tbh. Who's abandoning benchmarks? Games are the one's with biased results, sometimes favoring certain hardware simply because they paid for the optimization.
Testing is important. You can benchmark games as well, in the guru3d 1660 Ti review performance favors the Vega 56 in a few key titles. Most are ties. But they are very similar GPU's. Having the edge though is not enough to save the Vega 56, the 1660 Ti already is a pretty bad card for value as this thread already pointed out. Better off with the 1660 Super over both of them and save some money.
You can pull extra performance from the Vega 56, which should help it truly pull ahead. But were talking beyond a normal overclock, editing powerplay tables isn't something you should buy a GPU for unless you simply enjoy that.
You're looking at a lot of heat, power, and noise to get something that almost performs as well as a stock Vega 64. If that was your performance goal, you're much better off getting this new 5600 XT (probably, wait for reviews) or certainly the new EVGA 2060 KO.
