That same sort of logic can be applied to the RX 5600 XT.

At this point, the 1660 Ti is superfluous-especially with the RTX 2060 nominally available for just $299. The GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti for example offer very similar performance, with the Super mostly costing $40 less. Zooming out from the RX 5600 XT, the graphics card market is filled with various cards at different price points, some of which land awfully close together. Until then, the RX 5600 XT is supposed to fill the gap between the RX 5500 XT and RX 5700.

The problem is that AMD is still missing a direct answer to Nvidia's ray tracing capable RTX series hardware, which will likely come later this year (Navi 20 or Navi 21) as a high-end offering to compete with the likes of the RTX 2080 Super. It was a short-lived technology showcase for AMD, and as soon as the RX 5700 cards arrived it faded away.

Navi is AMD's first 'real' 7nm GPU-the Radeon VII doesn't count in my book, as it was overpriced and despite having 16GB of HBM2 never really performed as well as I'd like. I've covered AMD's Navi / RDNA architecture before, and since this is the same Navi 10 GPU just with two of the GDDR6 chips removed, there's not much to say. Still, there's plenty of marketing and words swirling around the RX 5600 XT launch, helping to muddy the waters. If a graphics card is supposedly priced at $299 but is currently out of stock, is it really a $299 card? Hopefully, supply and demand start to equalize over the coming days and the RTX 2060 will truly be available at the new, lower price (and we've seen short-terms sales, eg, on Black Friday, where the card has already dropped as low as $280). Other RTX 2060 cards can be found for $299, but only after dealing with rebates. The EVGA RTX 2060 KO is also priced at $299, and is also currently out of stock. The RTX 2060 Founders Edition is available direct from Nvidia for $299 now-except it's currently out of stock. Let me get back to the price cut on the RTX 2060, though. Right now, GTX 1660 Super cards priced at $229 are much easier to find, and 1660 Ti cards start as low as $245 after rebate (or $260 without any rebates). I checked at the time of the RX 5600 XT announcement and the cards were starting at $250 and $300-maybe with one or two models closer to Nvidia's recommended starting price. For example, Nvidia's competing GTX 1660 Super and GTX 1660 Ti are nominally supposed to start at $229 and $279, respectively. That's the short recap, and between the early January announcement and today's launch, the market has already shifted to accommodate the newcomer.
