AMD's RX 5600 XT Goes After NVIDIA Below $300

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) did something last year that it hadn't done in years: It launched a graphics card that beat rival NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) on performance at the same price point. AMD's RX 5700 series, which includes the $349 RX 5700 and the $399 RX 5700 XT, was the most consequential graphics launch from AMD in a very long time.

The company further filled out its lineup by launching the low-end RX 5500 XT toward the end of 2019. The graphics card came in two flavors, one with 4GB of graphics memory for $169, and another with 8GB for $199. The two versions are in competition with NVIDIA's GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660, respectively.

With the RX 5500XT a full $150 cheaper than the RX 5700, gamers looking for something in between had no option but to turn to NVIDIA, which offers two graphics cards between $200 and $300. AMD fixed the situation at CES in Las Vegas this week, announcing the new RX 5600 series.
