RX 5600 XT: Overkill for 1080P / 75Hz Gaming?

[Barack Obama]

Hey everyone, I'm coming around to completing my first PC build, but one of things that have lingered on is my decision to invest in a RX 5600 XT. The results I've seen online has presented itself as a 1080P Killer. However, the minimal demand of my monitor's refresh rate at 75Hz has led me to believe that it could be a waste of power to invest in this card when the monitor's specs I have doesn't draw out this card's full potential. If this is the case, should I downgrade to something like a RX 580 8GB card?

It won't be in all games at 1080p, and it won't last very long anyway. Just keep it.

won't run rdr2 at 75 fps, that's for sure.

Doesn't have much of a problem going over 60 on balanced settings. RDR2 is not a game that anyone should expect very high FPS in.

I get 90-105 on ultra, but 5600 has no way of getting 60 in ultra by my estimation.

It doesn't need to. Not everyone is obsessed with the absolute max settings like you are; most people are content with lowering their settings if they need to.

The 5600 XT is an excellent GPU for 1080p, and sits in between the GTX 1660 Ti and RTX 2060 (being practically equal to the 2060 but the latter can pull ahead). It'll be fine in the vast majority of games at higher settings, but there will always be a few games like RDR2 that push most configurations to their limits. You can't base the experience on one demanding game that pushes the best GPUs available.

It does. Just not at max settings.

Keep it, RX 580 is outdated, for new rig I would not go lower then GTX 1660 Super or RX 5600 XT.

Corrected that for ya kurumi... Not like you are not making a completly absurd and stupid comparison between your RTX Titan and this 5600xt...

But you keep on fanboiing there kurumi, you do you!
