THIS. I tell you that no one, no one period, is able to tell which PC is running a 2060 base vs a 3070 side by side on a 1080p screen, fps counter off. Heck you would have a hard time telling wich is wich even comparing it to a 3080 on most demanding games. If you run a 2060 vs a 3080 4K on your 50' tv then there's a telling difference right away, but at 1080p? Right now anyone gaming on a PC monitor up yo 27' gets zero return spending more than $200 on a GPU.

You can easily find an RX 5700 XT at this price in Open Box Condition.
Much faster and better VRAM... if you don't care about DLSS / RT or Nvidia Software

Bunk. And what about 27" 1440p?

I agree, 6GB isn't going to age well. One would be better off saving for the RX 6600. I got the vanilla 5700 over the RX 5600 XT because even though performance was close, I knew the extra memory would last longer.

Annnd sold! Been salivating over the Radeon deals lately, but this is just as good and gives me access to DLSS. Coming from a 1650 Super.

Not really. An RX 6600 is close to an RTX 3060. Certainly better than an RTX 2060. But, if DLSS is worth it for, not a bad deal.

Better go with RDNA 2 based card.

There is one difference. You can keep 3070 much longer than 2060. Sometimes that can end up being more economical than have to upgrade more often because you get lower tier cards.
