The 2060 is a fast card....from a year ago.
5600XT is faster brand spanking new and 20 bucks cheaper.
RTX2060 is a tough sell.
If they lowered the 2060 down to 279, then as long Noise\Power \ of available cards is fine then 5600XT still looks like the way to go

edit: Looking around at a couple of benchmarks 2060 trades blows. So it will be a tough call

Amd got jebaited this time again, card should have been $250 and should have had the new bios to begin with.

Maybe if prices drop down after the newness of a new card wears off it will be a price/perf winner. Looking at NE right now, 3 of 15 cards are at $279. From there its $289-299-309-339. The 3 fan cards usually being $300+.

Exact pricing. Pulse and Red Dragon appear to be the best value models.

The big kicker for me on the new AMD cards has been issues regarding variable refresh rate on the new LG TVs. They don't support VRR via HDMI 2.0 , and the GTX 16 series, and the 20 series cards do. Also if you are into streaming, the NVENC encoder is a god send for folks with mid tier CPUs. I ran a Red Dragon 5700 in my HTPC for about 2 weeks, really liked the performance, just couldn't get past the fact that I wasn't able to use the VRR supported by my TV. Ended up going back to a 20 series Nvidia card due to that.
