On January 21, video cards will go on sale Radeon RX 5600 XT, their recommended price will be 280 dollars (approximately 17.2 thousand rubles). In light of this NVIDIA reduced recommended cost RTX 2060 from 350 to 300 dollars (from about 21.5 to 18.5 thousand rubles). And at EVGA have a model GeForce RTX 2060 KO GAMING for $ 280.
Thus, the struggle for the middle segment is becoming increasingly fierce, because the RX 5600 XT will also have to confront GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1660 Ti. At the same time, “green” has an advantage in the form of ray tracing, which, although implemented so far only in some games, can improve the picture as a whole.
On the other hand, the official cost of RTX 2060 in Russia exceeds 30 thousand rubles, which makes it almost twice as expensive as in the USA. It is still unknown whether the price reduction will affect Russian retail.
It should also be noted that such price corrections are rare for “green” ones. Most often, cheaper outdated models.
