The benchmark graphics show the maps of the starting position in the darker shades of red and green, as well as the maximum overclocked cards with the lighter bars. The respective results speak for themselves and no longer need to be commented on in detail. However, it can be noted that with the rather close results in the launch review, the GeForce RTX 2060 now has its nose back up on a case-by-case basis, as the potential is noticeably greater, especially with the memory clock.
I have limited myself to Full HD for the benchmarks, because you can already recognize the differences very well and there are no surprises with WQHD.
Conclusion and summary
A Radeon RX 5600 XT with the old BIOS and placed slightly above a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in terms of performance would have been a real hammer due to the extreme overclocking potential of a whopping 20%. And if you had found the right price region, which even the last doubters would have forgotten the missing 2 GB memory, then the RX 5600 XT would certainly have been THE purchase recommendation at the beginning of 2020.
The overclocking margin would certainly have been much greater if AMD had not added additional restrictive limitations to the software, which successfully prevents a clock increase above 1820 MHz and more than 150 watts of power limit. Because you can set what you want at the Power Limit, the value is only for the gallery, but no longer brings real performance through a higher power supply. This is of course a successful way to prevent the cannibalization of the Radeon RX 5700, but it also deprives customers of a whole bit of play instinct and experimentation.
The EIA of almost 300 euros, which was ultimately set aside for the exhausted BIOS and is even far exceeded in reality (depending on the model), does this card absolutely wrong and prevents a possible success in a sustainable way. Anyone who sees a card that is overclocked to the limit as the norm and even risks memory errors should not be surprised at the end of the situation, either by verbal scolding or by the disinterest of the customers. This is primarily a way of alienating the Polaris upgraders, i.e. the Full HD clientele that you have actually targeted.
Nvidia also gave the GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB very little additional room for manoeuvre at the time, but this is still available and even allows a staggering in reference card, factory OC and maximum OC, where the differences are significantly higher than the measurement tolerances. This card, too, is anything but an overclocking miracle and has already visibly survived its time. But why AMD is so used to this discontinued model, one simply cannot understand as an outsider. Not at all for this price.
