During AMD’s “Next Horizon” event we all were able to get know a lot of new info about upcoming AMD’s products like mid-tier or high-tier (for sure not top-tier yet, these will be announced and released later this year) Navi GPUs or Ryzen 2 (3xxx series) CPUs.

We all have seen new slides with official results of performance comparison shown in form of percentage charts not listing much details about used hardware, software, settings, etc., some LN2 overclocking and so on. Youtubers who were in there did their jobs well by showing to public videos with all info they were able to collect in there. At least one of them did much more than others and he did it without drawing too much attention. I’m a fan of Bryan and his “Tech YES City” channel, watching a lot of his videos. In one of his videos covering Next Horizon event he did a lot of amazing interviews with people from AMD who delivered wonderful details about new technologies which will come with Navi GPUs and Ryzen 2 CPUs but also he had opportunity to run benchmark in Far Cry 5 game on two PCs which one of them had RX5700 (non-XT) installed and the other one Geforce RTX2060. Both PCs, according to specification listings seen next to them, were probably identical machines which were different only by installed GPUs. As you can see in video both machines had: Ryzen 7 2700x, 16GB of DDR4 RAM (no frequency, timings or anything else specified) and some kind of SSD. I would assume that was some kind of SATA SSD as, again, no more details about drive were mentioned. Here are said listings:





Bryan was able to run benchmarks on both PCs at two most popular resolutions: 1920×1080 (a.k.a. 1080p) and 2560×1440 (a.k.a. 2K or 1440p). Benchmark results were really close to each other in all presented cases. Here are results for 2K resolution for RTX2060 and RX5700 non-XT:





So we have 68 vs 76 fps in minimum framerates, 80 vs 84 fps in average and 94 vs 96 fps in max.

For 1080p results look like that:





Minimum is 75 vs 78 fps, average 94 vs 96 fps and for max 125 vs 129 fps.

With such results we can say both cards are equal and only real difference between them will be anything except raw performance, at least in Far Cry 5. Radeon Navi RX5700 (non-XT) was announced to be released with price of 380USD while RTX2060 at the moment on newegg are available for 340 to 530USD depending on particular variant.
