AMD Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT graphics cards are value purchases

After months of waiting, AMD finally unveiled its new lineup of Radeon graphics cards based on RDNA architecture. AMD confirmed prices and launch date of the two cards in the RX 5700 series during E3 2019 last month.

While the Radeon cards were scheduled to release on the 7th of July, Nvidia pulled the rug out from under AMD by bringing the RTX Super series five days before AMD’s big launch. The super cards closed the gap in performance and price on the new Radeon GPUs. However, Team Red had another surprise for gamers.

On July 7th, AMD announced the RX 5700 and 5700 XT at new prices. The RX 5700, first announced at $379 (Approx Rs 26,000), launched at $349 (Approx Rs 24,000). The RX 5700 XT was originally announced at $449 (Approx Rs 31,000), launched at $399 (Approx. Rs 27,500).

In comparison, the Nvidia RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super costs around $399 and $499, respectively. Nvidia simply introduced its Super series at same prices of the original RTX cards. Regular RTX 2060 and 2070 cards also got a price cut.
