Like the stairways at Hogwarts, the competitive field of graphics cards keeps shifting under our feet. When AMD introduced its newest GPU at CES, the Radeon RX 5600 XT, it claimed a noteworthy performance advantage — anywhere from 5 to 33%, depending on the game — over the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, which is Nvidia’s competitor in the top-quality 1080p gaming segment at the Radeon’s target $280 price. It goes on sale and becomes fair game for benchmark testing today.

Nvidia decided to drop the price of its RTX 2060 Founder’s Edition by $50 to $299 just last week, putting the card within spitting distance for price and performance, and confusing us again. But that may not be as big a deal as it sounds.
