GPUs Jan 17,2020 0

There is an interesting series of news items around the web today, two of them in particular.

The competition between Nvidia and AMD in the mid-range GPUs is on, and today Nvidia confirmed price reductions for the GeForce RTX 2060, with AMD to respond with a BIOS update for the Radeon RX 5600 XT in order to offer some performance boost.

The new price for the RTX 2060 is $299 USD.

With the new BIOS, AMD will allow non-reference MSRP RX 5600 XTs, such such the factory-overclocked models from AMD's partners, support a higher TGP value and as a result, they get more space for a higher boost/turbo clock. The new OC models will get a board power allowance of 180 Watts in total, the TGP (GPU power) is increased from 150 towards 160 Watts. The result is a boost clock that jumps from 1560 MHz advertised, towards 1700 MHz.
