AMD RADEON 5600 XT 1080P
The above slides may perplex you at first sight, with the RX 5600 XT outperforming the GTX 1660 Ti by about 20 per cent on average in nine AAA games at 1080p ultra settings - yet another slide pitting the new AMD card against the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC showed it was only 15 per cent faster on average than the green team rival. AMD addressed this competition in its presentation slides and you can see these direct comparisons embedded below.

This market segment contains fierce competition in the shape of the new-ish Nvidia GTX 1660 Super and the more established GTX 1660 Ti. The new Radeon RX 5600 XT from AMD fills the yawning gap between the $199 RX 5500 XT and the $349 RX 5700 - AMD has put forward an MSRP of $279 for no-frills offerings based on the GPU. This card is designed to deliver the "ultimate 1080p experience," wielding the expected specs which are, in brief a 7nm Navi 10 GPU with 2,304SPs, running at game/boost of 1.375/1,560MHz, with 6GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 7.2 TFLOPs at 150W.
AMD RADEON 5600 XT UPDATE
The gist of the whole situation is that the BIOS update seems to make specific factory-overclocked versions of the 5600 XT even more desirable - but none of the reviews we’ve cited in this article relied on that fact to come to their conclusions.AMD has gone official with the thoroughly leaked Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card.

However, Anandtech and PC Gamer both found that the $289 Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT cards they reviewed, which is slightly more powerful and more expensive than AMD’s $279 5600 XT reference design, were pretty good even before the BIOS update, so the performance gains they found from the BIOS update were a cherry on top.Īnandtech has a good explainer on how the BIOS updates affected performance for the Sapphire Pulse it reviewed.

If you’re planning to buy a 5600 XT, you should know that just days before it was released, AMD pushed a BIOS update for it that may improve performance, and that BIOS update may not make its way to every card you can buy off the shelf today. If you’re looking to get your hands on one of these cards, PC Gamer has found several configurations of AMD’s new graphics card that are available right now, starting at $279.99. If you’re looking for a midrange card that will let you play games at 1080p and high frame rates, the 5600 XT seems like it could be a good choice. Directly comparing the two cards together, Tom’s Hardware found that the 5600 XT “wins more than it loses” against the RTX 2060, though only Nvidia’s option can handle ray tracing.Įngadget called the 5600 XT “the most powerful 1080p gaming option on the market under $300,” though, and other reviews are backing that up. So there’s now a bit more competition at that sub-$300 price point, though models at this price point currently appear to be sold out. But perhaps in response to AMD’s new card, Nvidia dropped the price on its entry-level ray-tracing graphics card, the RTX 2060 Founders Edition, to $299. The closest competitor to the 5600 XT is probably the aforementioned Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti, which came out last year and also costs $279, and reviewers generally found that the RX 5600 XT performed better than the GTX 1660 Ti. PC Gamer found 1080p to be an “easy hurdle” for the card and said it achieved average frame rates of around 137 fps across 12 games. Compared to the RTX 2060, the 5600 XT maintained a higher, steadier frame rate across the board. Tom’s Hardware found that the card “easily” eclipsed 60 fps at 1080p (with maximum settings activated) on most of the titles that it tested, which includes heavy hitters like The Division 2 and Gears of War 5.

Other reviewers saw great performance as well. The publication said that the card is “fast enough to deliver a no-compromises experience even with the craziest settings.” It also said that the 5600 XT “clobbers” Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti, a popular and similarly priced card that also targets gamers who want great 1080p graphics. At 1080p with all of the settings cranked to their highest (with the Nvidia’s HairWorks graphical setting turned off), it managed 58 frames per second, a respectable count that’s a handful of frames ahead of the slightly more expensive Nvidia RTX 2060. AMD is positioning the 5600 XT as “the ultimate graphics card for 1080p gaming,” and reviews seem to indicate that AMD might have made a card that’s exactly that.Īnandtech found that the RX 5600 XT lives up to AMD’s “ultimate” claim, averaging more than 60 fps in all but one game it tested - that game being Metro Exodus.
