    Hi guys, your thoughts on Radeon RX 5600 XT vs Nvidia RTX 2060? I've heard a lot of complaints about 5600XT being unstable, issues with drivers and bios... Has all that been resolved, has anyone got it and having (or not) problems? Thinking to buy one or another, and the Radeon is a bit cheaper.

    AMDs drivers are hit and miss, but a lot more hit than they used to be. Just have a look on youtube regarding the driver version before updating.

    Do you want ray tracing (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077, CONTROL)?

    If no, the RX 5600 XT is simply better bang-per-buck (just make sure it's a model with 14Gbps VRAM)

    Comparing to 5600 XT, the 2600 seems to me more hassle free, which, of course, I would pay more for... Still thinking...
