PowerColor Outs Final Specs Radeon 5600 XT Include TGP Increase and now GDDR6 at 14 Gbps
Last week has been quite crazy with changes and reconfigurations of the 5600's line up. These cards had 12GBps memory speeds and a more conservative GPU power limit but all that changed last week.
Power Color now outs the final specs, and that indeed includes increased TGP (clocks) and 14 Gbps memory (opposed to 12 Gbps).
TUL Corporation, a leading and innovative manufacturer of AMD graphic cards since 1997, announces the latest addition to its RX 5000 Series lineup, with the launch of the PowerColor Red Dragon and Red Devil RX 5600 XT models based on the latest AMD RDNA gaming architecture giving gamer’s the ultimate higher-tier 1080p gaming experience.

Maybe they should start selling minimum 8GB - then 12Gb and highend 16GB ...
4GB and 6GB should me OEM by now. I understand that 6GB is more then suffice for 1080p ... but maybe in two years this will change .
It won't. We're in 2020 and with 1 GB of vram you can still play fine. 4GB starts to be the minimum, 6 GB is and will be minimum even in the next 2 years, since games will be optimised more for 4GB of vram, so +2 GB will just make it futureproof. Look at Fury X. Still an OP card, and perfect for 1080P (not so much for 1440p+ but meh).
I have 8GB vram but never saw more then 5-6GB used. Considering that next games will use DX12 and Vulkan, with better compression, we won't really need to increase vram in the close future.

The 14gbps vram will put this pretty close to the 5700, I feel like this product is going to sit in a very weird position. Unless it's a fair chunk cheaper than the the 5700.

I bought an RX580 4Gb and games rarely use more than 2Gb. I think that for 2020, 6Gb is a safe zone for 1080p.

@Silva, that's only because of your settings. same argument people always make when they have 4-8GB system ram, "my ram usage never goes over x"... yeah... they are enjoying their storage thrashing with pagefile. you're enjoying your low-res textures.
