Reviews: Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB (ASUS, Sapphire and Gigabyte)

You take the Radeon RX 5700, take off two memory chips and reconfigure the firmware for power and clock frequencies. The end result, AMD's all-new Radeon RX 5600 XT. The 6GB GDDR6 based graphics card will be priced very competitively, and the factory tweaked models certainly offer a lot of performance for the asking price starting at 279 USD, we'll discuss that in detail in the reviews though. Today we start off with three Radeon RX 5600 XT (6GB) reviews which you can read here:

The MSI Gaming X review is also in the works, ANY review that you see on this card today is invalid. MSI is still actively working on updated firmware (BIOS), so we'll postpone that review until MSI has finished up.

Good luck with your AMD GPU which is basically already outdated and legacy hardware. People buy Nvidia RTX because of Raytracing, DLSS, Gsync, crazy fast renders for workstations thanks to RT cores, etc. It seems like the only jaded fanboy here is you, and frankly, I feel a bit of buyers remorse in your post.

Oh pls.. 1st gen RTX cards are useless for RT at anything above 1080p.

Even the 2060 needs another price drop. I wouldn't recommend it over 5600 xt at this point.

There is no rtx 2060 price drop, its all on paper. Good luck finding evga ko version anywhere and nvidia 2060 FE is not in stock. Im sure nvidia did it just to try being competitive at 300$ range.

What's with the C64 reference after the article ?

LOAD"*",8,1

Weird...

Sometimes I end with an onliner from say game of thrones, sometimes the command for a modem hangup (ATH ++), and this round a load command for the Commodore 64. Yes, your editor is a little weird like that just because he thinks it's funny - it's my inner g33k.

I salute you for recognizing that command properly

Your ignorance is amazing. Digital Foundry just showed RTX2060S running Wolfenstein at 4K DLSS, ultra settings, raytracing ON, 60+FPS. What you don't understand people with RTX cards have an option to run raytracing or not. You do not have that option with your slightly cheaper AMD GPU. You get what you pay for.

2060S is a 400$ gpu using dlss 50% resolution and it was not maxed out becouse game uses more than 8gb vram. I also think it was 1440p not 4k. Credit goes to amazing id tech engine optimization and great performance in the first place.
