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.

5600xt has made the 2060 super useless at 1080p at its price point. Only those who simply hate AMD would still buy it at this point.
Being a fan is an awful expensive hobby these days.

Like I said before AMD and Nvidia always know what the other is about to release just before it's made known to the public. Thus the NV price cut of the 2060 before release. But it certainly not enough. It was already 2x the price before the cut. I can only imagine how one feels who purchased it about 2 weeks ago :mad:

. Now seeing the 5600 xt at its price :eek:

. And finding out the 1x price cut on the card

Between a 2060 and 2060s on average, with nice temps.

2060 price drop puts the two similar level but the 2060S @ $400 seems kind of pointless now. Only 8-10% more performance for nearly $120 more.

Nvidia's new slogan for all the 2060/s owners: gotcha...again!

Thats a very nice performer at that price. AMD boosted the card in the last moment with the bios update. Im surprised its closer to 2060s than 2060.

Finally a nice card from AMD, 5500xt was just overpriced for what it is.
