AMD 5700 XT vs NVIDIA RTX 2070 (eGPU)

[Sparkhunter]

Hi there guys,

 

I've been looking into getting a new GPU for my laptop (4-lane PCI-e) and enclosure (HP Omen Enclosure) but I cannot decided between the RX 5700 XT and the RTX 2070 (non SUPER).

 

I did some price to performance calculations (higher is better) with some of the best prices I can currently get in the UK.

 

 

The RX 5700 XT does perform better and is cheaper than the RTX 2070 (Although the 2070 does come with 2 games) but my main concern is drivers and from what I've heard NVIDIA cards work a lot better with eGPUs than AMD.

 

If anyone has experience using both red & green or if anyone else has any other input i'd love to hear your experiences and input.

 

Thanks.

I would definitely go with the 570xt, really good performance for the money. I was always an nvidia guy but vega has a special place in my heart for some odd reason and this new card is a beast. Amd is ontop both gpu and cpu wise (with price to performance in mind)
