[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 168995, member: 201"] In other computer hardware news... In an attempt to head off AMD's new 5600 XT which released today for $280 and was meant to one up nVidia's GTX 1660 Ti... So the other day, nVidia dropped the price on their standard RTX 2060 ( not the Super version ) to $300 in an attempt to take some of the wind out of AMD's sales for the 5600 XT. AMD responded by quickly making a new firmware update to increase the clocks and ram speeds. This resulted in a product that not only competed with the RTX 2060 directly, but in many of the benchmarks, even beating the 2060 by a few percentage points. In fact, it even competes a little with AMD's own 5700 card except in the amount of VRAM available ( 6Gb on the 5600 XT vs the 8Gb on the 5700 ). I hope that AMD doesn't quit there... I'd love to see a firmware update for my 5700 XT that I have. Currently it is in the RTX 2070 / RTX 2070 Super class. Currently it benches a little under the 2070 Super on average. [/QUOTE]
