It's faster than the 2060 and 2070. In some titles even faster than 2070 Super.

We should make 1 thing clear though... dell overseas selling team is quite different than actually buying this system for $850. not only will you never get that price by calling, but you are also not being pushed to buy anything on which dell is making max $, which includes selling team's commission (I personally don't care if you buy this deal or not and/or any other deals I post).


Linus also did the worst case scenario, oriented towards an end user who has 0 knowledge.. we here strive to give you the tools to get the best deals are best prices currently available

Dell is a scummy company. Linus Tech Tips documented their awful customer care/service in a multipart video. I'm not telling anyone how to spend their hard earned money, but this information is out there, so use your own judgement.

Fantastic deal, on par with the great all-AMD BFCM Cyberpowerpc deals for $1k. If I didn't get one of those, I'd be all over this.

CPU comparison with Ryzen 7 3800X, they're neck in neck:

Linus is a sellout
Sellout or not he perfectly shows how terrible Dell is as a company and I personally prefer to build my own computers but I will be putting the word out there to warn others to stay away from Dell.

I totally hear this. That said, if you know how to work the dell ecosystem you can get some great reliable products at reasonable prices. At least this has been my experience after all these years. It's definitely not for those who need hand holding or want full serivce customer experiences, and you need patience and understanding when dealing with support reps.

User Benchmark is a pretty quick and easy way to compare cards. I built a system with a 5700 xt shortly after launch and it has had it's ups and downs.

Here is a comparison between the 5700 xt and the 2070:
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...4045vs4029

In my opinion here are pros and cons.
Pros:
  • It's comparable to a RTX 2070 in raw power
  • It costs less then the comparable 2070 NVIDIA cards
Cons:
  • Initial driver bugs were frustrating causing bad initial reception, mostly everything is sorted out now, but hard to forgive from many people
  • Drivers had to actually slow it down to keep it from overheating itself, so it is a more stable but slower card now
  • No ray-tracing
If I had to do it all over again, I think the NVIDIA is a better card, I want to like my setup and be happy with it, but the initial difficulties of the card and getting the drivers right are hard to forget.

Unfortunately you have to use Nvidia GPUs if you want G-Sync.
