It's been four years since AMD launched RDNA, the successor to the venerable GCN graphics architecture. We take a look through the tech and numbers to see...
Rdna was fine , i had a choice of a 2060 or 5700xt which is 20% better average and trades blows with a 2070. Realistically can a 2060 be used for any meaningful ray tracing no , it has all the dx12 ultimate features which only came into effect 4 years after in one title which not out yet. Playing alan wake 2 with 30fps on low settings with dlss quality 1080p is not really the winning point for a 2060 or 2060 super after 4 years. Also you could’ve traded in the 5700xt for a 6700xt in some markes during the crypto boom. Rdna 1 offered good price to perf at the entry to midrange 4 years ago which cant be remotely compared to bulldozer.
