AMD has just announced its brand new RX 5600 XT graphics card. It will be available on January 21 and will be priced at $279 USD. The card is positioned squarely at the 1080p market and will be an ideal card for esports players as well. Interestingly, however, while the card is manufactured on 7nm, it features less than spetacular clocks.

AMD also showcased some benchmarks going up against NVIDIA's 1660 Ti GPU - which is the graphics card of choice for 1080p gaming. In games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare, The Division 2, and Gears of War 5, AMD's RX 5600XT reigned supreme. They also showcase close to 120 fps 1080p gaming in eSports games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
