The new Radeon RX 5600 XT has been announced, in this review, we peek at the MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming Z. The Radeon RX 5600 XT is basically an RX 5700 however with 6GB of GDDR6, lower clock frequencies and a price tag of 279 USD. That could make it an excellent offering in the Quad HD domain at up-to a resolution of 2560x1440.

Rtx2060/1660ti/vega56 killer.
With further tweak it's near vega64/1080/2060S!
These 5600 xt's are looking good. As I already assumed AMD will charge whatever the market will bare for them.
I'm sure as drivers mature they will eek out a couple more FPS.

This is a cheapest 1660 super. Nvidia prices are a myth just like non existent 300$ 2060 thats no where to be found.
There are currently 3 1660S at MSRP on newegg available for purchase and one has a $10 MIR which brings it under MSRP.

I'd hope they fix the black screen issue before trying to ring out more performace. But this is TRG we are talking about.

With 20.1.3 things are looking up! Not only did they finally acknowledge the issue but indicate it's fix. So far for me no black screens.
For me there were 3 issues when I got my 5700 xt
1. Downclocking in 3d applications
2. Wattman forgetting/lossing it's Manual OC settings
3. Black Screen at desktop.
Odd enough the black screen issue for me happened in November/December era. I didn't have the problem prior. But so far they've fixed the downclocking issue in games (it's been fix for sometime now). The wattman issue seems to have been fixed now for the past 2 drivers updates. And with 20.1.3 it appears that the BS issue is finally addressed.
To be honest, and in retrospect, these are the 1st set of issues I've had with Radeon drivers in several years when it came to a release of a new video card Uarch.
At one time I didn't use MSI A/B. But now A/B works flawlessly again. Not sure what happened driver wise. One thing that seem to help was using A/B's "Erase AutoSave Startup Settings" seem to fix some quirks I was having with wattman. For me, powerlimit slider. Instead of 50% I'm around 10%-20% based on what OC I want to achieve. OC seems to have stabilized and no longer fluctuate wildly, etc.
The other side of the coin is I had to reinstall a few games. For example BO4/MW/BF5 were they take in account your video card/preload cache/etc. There is no "reset" to reflect a new card unless you delete certain files. But with all the recent updates a complete re-install of those games really did wonders. So it's a combo of a few different things I did.
I can only assume moving forward that 5600 xt owners shouldn't have these teething issues. And can only hope that RTG addressed these issues with those cards. And I can only assume that A/B works with 5600 xt as well.

Oddly enough, I only had the black desktop screen once, this morning as I was going to download the new drivers; the irony

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but to me it looks like all the 5600 XT designs have better cooling solutions than the 5700 XT cards. Yet it's a gimped version of the same chip???
