Notes
We've chosen to run the extended set of benchmarks used for launch-day articles. These include ray tracing and GPGPU applications that test new architectures' mettle.
Going back to RTX 2060 and GTX 1060 provides good context for those upgrading from older cards. A Radeon RX 5600 XT has been further benchmarked to provide comparison until the next slew of RX 6000 Series GPUs arrive.
