GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q vs Radeon RX 5600 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5600 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5600 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon RX 5600 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 6 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5600 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 5600 is faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q.
