All 2060 will receive price cut iinm.
2060 KO is a whole new SKU, it use TU104 which found in 2070/2080 Super and Steve from GN found that it perform much better in workstation workload compare to original 2060.

Haha, this is not a fanboy thread. What you mean by lucky user? All 2060 KO use TU104 die iinm.
Not in software because the BIOS already locked at 160w. You probably can flash it with higher tier model BIOS but i'm not sure about that.
You might need to modify the cooler if you able to increase the power limit because the stock cooler is barely enough for 160w card.
I think Nvidia MY able to lower their margin because their card is selling really really well compare to AMD here.

Got myself a used 5700XT to play with.

Quite unfortunate AMD is not pricing the card competitively like elsewhere.

That is because the card itself is very efficient even surpassing Nvidia at lower voltage points, by quite a bit.

My 4 tested settings:

Radeon Setting: 1380MHz - 0.750V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=066W - 3577 - 54.20PPW

Radeon Setting: 1790MHz - 0.925V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=103W - 4686 - 45.50PPW

Radeon Setting: 1920MHz - 1.000V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=134W - 4982 - 37.18PPW

Radeon Setting: 2060MHz - 1.100V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=161W - 5297 - 32.90PPW

System: B450 Gaming Plus Max, R5 3600, 16GB DDR4 E-Dies @3733, CPU&GPU under waterblock, fully silent system

Now that you mentioned it, few games in Goldfries benchmark actually use over 6GB for 5700.
Minimal gain in RDR2 but over 10fps in SOTTR and Breakpoint(i guess).

pm me when you wanna let go of 5700 for 5800XT

If that is your target audience, fair enough.
For me personally think your latest comparison video is missing the card core clock and frame time graph for it to be informative.
Average fps is an old metric that only show 1 part of the story imho.
Noice. What model is that?
Can you bypass that slider limit with MSI Afterburner or MorePowerTool or manually edit the soft power play table?

Update with actual benchmark scores.
All setting stable. All but the gpu clock, voltage, and therefore temp being equal (...even fan rpm (5x 1050rpm arctic p12 on 600mm radiator surfance) is fixed)
image title = core-clock, mV, mem-clock (all Radeon settings, actual clock lower but clock stable given the load(except 5))
1) 1350,0750,1800 (crazy efficiency)

2) 1790,0925,1800 (probably nice setting for air cooled (custom) cards that are supposed to run near silent)
https://pictr.com/image/5vDSvP
3) 1910,1000,1800 (pretty close to stock clock (1905) but with lesser voltage and more mem-clock)
https://pictr.com/image/5vDiZc
4) 2050,1100,1800 (my daily setting)
https://pictr.com/image/5vD1pl
5) 2180,1250,1800 (clock not stable and drops with temp over time)
https://pictr.com/image/5vD64G

because 5700xt is already oc'd to the max by amd.
that's why you see all the problems online.
you need to underclock and undervolt the card.

is it me or radeon software still buggy?
the "game" profile settings (especially the fan%) wont work unless u manual launch the software

newly released vbios editor.

From my experience, i think the driver issues are still there, at least for me. but version 20.4.2 is the most stable IMO. However, i cant even complete a match in warzone then black screen and restart my pc automatically. Forza Horizon 4 may hang occasionally and jump to desktop. I've been using AMD GPU for the past 10 years, i think Navi's drivers are not there yet. My older RX 470 runs just fine with no crashes. I just exchanged my 5700XT to 2070S. Everything went smoothly, no crashes in warzone, forza Horizon 4.

IMO, Navi is a damn good card especially for 5700xt (price per fps). It's just the drivers really annoys you when u just wanna a play a game in peace. lol.

Some PC may not experience hang or restart at all using the navi cards, so it really depends whether u wanna risk it or not. At least i tried using the 5700xt before jump ship to green team. No regrets

Last night test of Driver 20.4.2 without adrenalin.
All PC activities (browsing and watching movies/streaming) and gaming ran fine but I noticed when I opened Steam there was a momentary 100% GPU usage (MSI afterburner). So far no black screen occured but I think this driver version is still not stable enough.

what you running now?........
Green card? 

announcement next month.. hopefully it will be good

Most likely yes. Since this is from MacOs kernel, I guess it's one of the gpu for future Macpro or something.

I don't know how they package the die to work for both gddr6 and hbm2.

I think by large, AMD should only be catching up to Nvidia with big Navi - not beat them, or so they claim. That's quite an achievement on its own, as they've been no where close to Nvidia for 2 generations now.

Beating nvidia is a tough ordeal, especially when AMD doesn't yet have their own AI upscaler. The more important task for them is to ensure 6000 series of cards "just works" out of the box. No dumb bullshit trying to jump through hoops with drivers and weird registry tweaks just to get the card stable enough to go on youtube. That IMO is much more important than "beating" nvidia.

Agreed.

Put aside all those AI stuff, they already beat Nvidia in Price/performance ratio and Performance/Watt. Just need to see the actual 3rd party benchmark to verify the claims. That itself is already an impressive achievement.

Normal gamers will always go for cheapest price/performance, only enthusiast spends extra $$$ to get the best of the best. I still think 3090 is the best but the margin is so slim based on the benchmark that I decided to hold back my judgment atm.

Now, the only thing Nvidia fan bois can parrot is that they have superior drivers and DLSS

AMD already have their own DLSS called 'Super Sampling', but they didn't touch much on it becoz it will only be out in 2021, and it works differently compared to DLSS. It's not even out and people already said it's crap kek. Calm your tits, just wait and see how it performs when it comes out.

Again, the fact that u need DLSS to run high fidelity games @ 4k >60FPS/8k 60fps instead of native resolution, demonstrated that games can't run a smooth frame rate without DLSS. If DLSS is widely adopted, then yes DLSS is good. But since it's only available in selected title, it has limited use.

I don't see what's with the hype when it's just a upsampling, similar concept to how high end Smart TV processors works. I've seen the videos and imo, I'd pick native resolution anyday e.g. 4K than getting a 1080p up-sampled by x4 to get 4K.

If ur still hung up on DLSS, get a Nvidia card and just be done with it. It's a good GPU. Good luck if u can find one out there.

Rage mode is just a 1 click OC, but what they did with Smart Access Memory was very impressive. You get free performance boost by just investing in their ecosystem (I.e. CPU & MOBO) without having to spend extra. Who buys Intel though nowadays anyway? Hmmm.

But I agree with you on Amd drivers; if they can iron out their drivers deficiency, boi we're in for some juicy competition. They don't need to 'beat' Nvidia, they just need to get closer to steal some market shares from them for now. Imo, they're primed to be in that position.

This will hopefully, Force Nvidia to rethink the way how they price their product moving forward if AMD can challenge them tit-for-tat.

Is it a game changer? Maybe. It is distruptive to the industry? Definitely. Who's the winner of all these competition? Consumers.

I saw movement artefacts especially when then player pans too quickly around the screen. Occasionally areas where it is not rendered at all, just white textureless objects

lets see amd achievement in SOFTWARE based solution

freesync. fucked up till today. they blame scalars and panels and the brand. no F given since theres no qc validation. whats funny nvidia has better implementation but its still screwed up. monitor sleeping issue.. blacking out.. easily affected by dp cables..

amd anti lag... again driver based. blame other devices or background latency , straight up blame game dev

and now another amd software solution with no full time dedicated testing to compete with dlss??

i am LOL. y not fix their games day one support.

rage mode driver based

sma interesting hardware based but is it native via windows or needs drivers??

trusting amd on software is really hilarious.

also interesting ghostrunner fully supports dlss and..
theres a option for fidelityFX upscaling.. isnt that amd lib?? why nobody talking about this?
