In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5950 XT are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB.
The RX 5950 XT has a 135 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2060. This results in the RX 5950 XT providing 56.9 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5950 XT has a 135 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2060 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX 5950 XT providing 8.6 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5950 XT was released less than a year after the RTX 2060, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The Radeon RX 5950 XT and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Radeon RX 5950 XT and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are the same, which means the RX 5950 XT and the RTX 2060 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon RX 5950 XT has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB has 2176. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5950 XT is 3170 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3949. The RTX 2060 having 779 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX 5950 XT performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 5950 XT transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2060. This means that the RX 5950 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2060.
The Radeon RX 5950 XT requires 225 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX 5950 XT and a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2060. The RX 5950 XT requires 50 Watts more than the RTX 2060 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 5950 XT may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2060.

| Mini Review | Overview The Radeon RX 5950 XT is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA 2 Architecture. These specs are yet to be confirmed. Architecture The Big Navi 10 XL GPU offers support for GDDR6 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenGL 4.5. This variant of the Big Navi 10 XL GPU features 40 Compute Units activated, offering XX Shader Processing Units, XX TMUs and XX ROPs. The GPU features a XX MHz base clock speed and up to XX MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated XX% faster than a Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce RTX 2080. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at XX MHz, rising to XX MHz with boost clock enabled. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of XX GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to XXGB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, In some limited scenarios, XXGB might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 225W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with one available 8+6-pin connector. Performance AMD Radeon RX 5950 XT competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5950 XT performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions AMD Radeon RX 5950 XT is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 4K. We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is a mid to high-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is the 'Super' variant of the RTX 2060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 2070 GPU. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p and 1440p screen resolutions. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106-410-A which has 2176 Shader Processing Units, 136 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1470 MHz and goes up to 1815 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. This provides total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 160W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with an 8-pin power connector. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a mid-range Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
