The best GPU to play in 1080p and 1440p
Finally we have evaluated the Radeon RX 5600 XT from AMD version Sapphire Pulse Overclock, a graphics card that profiles to be the best in terms of performance in Full HD and 1440p resolutions that is already prepared with PCIe 4.0 and the new RDNA architecture. Below, we present the results of the tests we did. The records were made with the 20.2.1 version of the driver and with the performance BIOS, since it also has the silent mode that lowers the consumption to 135w, the memory to 12GBps, the Boost clock to 1620 Mhz and the game clock to 1460, highlighting that with future updates it could improve.

The best to just play
It is important to be clear that in 1440p and 1080 resolutions the values are much higher and this card is definitely designed for all those who want to play with high frame rates at these resolutions. In the same way in competitive, in fact, it had values above the GeForce 1660 SUPER. It should be clarified that it is not a card to stream, it is simply to play with good performance without Ray Tracing.
CONCLUSION
This GPU in performance is the best for its price point to play at resolutions of 1080p and 1440p obtaining high frame rates per second with the highest demands without ray tracing, it can even show us some games in 4K above 30 FPS , but it is important to note that it is not for playing and streaming.
