Synthetic Benchmarks
3DMark FireStrike Ultra
Straight away, the RX 5700 is doing exactly what we expected of it. It’s beating out the RTX 2060 comfortably, putting it very much inline with the GTX 1080 and the lower end of the RTX 2070 series of cards. Interestingly, it’s pretty similar to the VEGA 64. However, keep in mind that the Sapphire VEGA 64 we tested was and still is an absolute monster of a GPU (review here). The 5700 XT stepped up too, beating out the RTX 2070’s, and sitting just behind a 1080 Ti.

Again we see fairly similar results, with the RX 5700 nipping in with the RTX 2060 cards, and the XT performing similarly to the RTX 2070 cards, just beating the 1080 Ti here, and matching that of the Radeon VII.
Unigine Superposition
Moving up to 4K didn’t change much either, albeit the Nvidia cards are slightly fast, but so little so that in a blind study I couldn’t pick the two apart.
