Yes, you can claim as a product polaris 30 is better for games... not as a wholeYes against VEGA its fine because VEGA Gaming ipc was atrocious.
NAVI is not that much better if better at all against Polaris though and you can clearly see this by comparing Polaris 30 (5.7B transistors) against NAVI 14 (6.4B transistors). Polaris 30 (RX590) with less transistors and a process disadvantage its faster.
As i have said before, if you port Polaris 30 to 7nm it would be smaller and faster than NAVI 14.
While navi have 0.7B transistor more, polaris lacks VP9, PCIE4.0, GDDR6, hardware virtualization, and many others features... Oh, and 5500xt also have 2 Cu disabled
