AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
If AMD is able to stock shelves with $400 5700 XT’s and $350 5700’s, then they will offer the best value at these price points. We're being told custom AIB models are on the way, too, and if they can boost out of the box performance a little, while bringing about the typical AIB card advantages, then Nvidia might be forced into making a few adjustments of their own and at that point we’ll have a good old fashioned GPU pricing war on our hands.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Revisit: How Does It Compare Against the 7700 XT? As predicted all those years ago, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is still tracking along very well, and we think it's safe and fair to say at this point, it has gone the distance. Sure, it doesn't support ray tracing, and opinions will vary on that one, but we think it's safe to say that in 2024 the state of ray tracing on a product such as the RTX 2070/2060 Super is very poor, and not worth using in the vast majority of cases.

AMD has introduced some attractive, next-generation GPUs that fill in the gap between the previous-gen Vega 56/65 and Radeon VII quite nicely, while also competing well with NVIDIA’s similarly-priced counterparts in the meatiest part of the enthusiast GPU market. With all of the buzz surrounding the Ryzen 3000 series – which is freakin’ awesome BTW – the prospect of an all-AMD-powered gaming PC system is looking better than it has for over a decade.

Though AMD doesn't take a decisive victory in terms of performance, it certainly does in terms of value. It more than holds its own against both of Nvidia's competitors, with only thermals and noise being the big drawbacks. Hopefully boards from AIBs will run cooler and quieter, but otherwise AMD is definitely back in the game. There's not any ray tracing to be had here, but I don't think that will be a factor for another year at least. On that front the Nvidia cards are certainly more future proof.
