The AMD RX 5600 XT 6GB is a great performer at 1080p with ultra settings & is plenty capable at 1440p using medium settings. This overclocked Sapphire model beat out the RTX 2060 while costing less và uses less power. It’s a tough card to beat at its $300 price point.

AMD doesn’t danh mục base clocks anymore. However, the reference Gaming clock is listed at 1,375 MHz while the boost clock is listed as up to 1,560 MHz. The Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse OC we have for testing in this nhận xét lists 1,615 MHz as the trò chơi Clock, with a boost lớn 1,750 MHz. That’s a pretty huge increases over reference. With most specs being the same (CUs, Shaders, TMUs, ROPs) as the RX 5700, AMD lowered the clocks to fit within power & performance thresholds and to carve out this new SKU.
All 5600 XT’s will come with 6GB of GDDR6 memory. The 6GB sits on a 192-bit bus with reference speeds of 1,500 MHz (12 Gbps GDDR6 effective). The clock on the Pulse OC (now 14 Gbps GDDR6 effective) yields 336 GBps of bandwidth. Considering the issues that plagued the 4GB 5500 XTs (especially on PCIe 3.0 x16), AMD was asked if the company expects any differences if VRAM runs out and they stated they did not expect any due to the full bandwidth of the slot (PCIe 4.0 x16 for 5600 XT) along with the increased bandwidth in general.

Power consumption on the 5600 XT is listed at 150W (board power). This compares lớn the 180W RX 5700 and 130W for the RX 5500 XT. On the Nvidia side, the GTX 1660 Ti is listed at 120W and the RTX 2060 160W. The 5600 XT slots right between its peers và competition. A quality 550W+ unit will easily handle this card, along with any overclocking. We’ll dig in a bit deeper on actual nguồn use a later.
AMD states performance per watt is up to lớn 2.1x better than the dated Polaris architecture (RX 480/580/590) with a 42% increase in performance while using 33% less power. Efficiency is now at least in the ballpark with Nvidia.
Display outputs will vary by vendor, but the thẻ we have in hand has three DisplayPort connectors & a single HDMI port. Feeding power lớn the thẻ will be a single 8-pin connector, which is plenty for a 150W card.

Design
The Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse OC is what we have on our test bench for this review. The factory-tweaked SKU is a dual-slot (2.3 slots according to lớn Sapphire) solution measuring in at 10 x 5.3 x 1.8-inches (254 x 135 x 46.5mm), a full-size card. Sapphire’s Dual X cooler và shroud adds an inch or so to lớn the PCB. This specific mã sản phẩm isn’t intended for SFF PC’s and should be able khổng lồ fit in most mid-tower chassis. As always, be sure lớn verify your case’s specifications before buying.
