MSI launches a more affordable Gaming product line for its video cards, starting with the RX 5600 XT. The Gaming M and MX series is grouped below the regular Gaming line and offers a distinctive sual-fan cooler and moderate speeds.
The Gaming M and MX have base clock speeds of 1130 and 1280MHz respectively. Both models have dual fan cooling, so no Twin Frozr 7 cooling here. Like their predecessors, the cards both have two 8-pin connectors, and the same connections. This concerns an HDMI port and three DisplayPort connections.
MSI brings the Gaming M (X) considerably weaker clock speeds. This is most severe with the Gaming MX. This offers a boost and game clock of 1620 and 1495 MHz which is considerably lower than the 1750 and 1615 MHz of the Gaming X. The Gaming M is also clocked lower than the Gaming, with a boost clock of 1560 MHz instead of 1600 MHz. Below is an overview of the four models.
