AMD RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: Which is faster?

When AMD said they were creating the ultimate 1080p graphics card with their new RX 5600 XT, they really weren’t kidding. Not only is it faster than the similarly priced Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but its performance even matches that of Nvidia’s slightly more expensive RTX 2060. No wonder, then, that it’s gone straight into our best graphics cards list for 2020.

But I’m not here to compare the RX 5600 XT to its Nvidia rivals today. Instead, I want to take a closer look at how it stacks up its other Big Navi rivals, the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT. As I mentioned in my RX 5600 XT review, this graphics card is so nippy that it actually runs the risk of stepping on the RX 5700’s toes a bit — which is great news for those after a powerful 1440p capable graphics card on the cheap, but less good for anyone who’s just spent loads on money on an RX 5700. So let’s have a gander via some lovely bar charts, shall we?

AMD RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: How we test

As with a lot of my graphics card comparison tests, the aim here is to see how well each card performs at a variety of resolutions and graphics settings. In this case, we’ll be focusing on how they run at 1920×1080 and 2560×1440, on Ultra and High graphics settings.

To test each card, I paired them with my Intel Core i5-8600K CPU and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz RAM and put them through my general benchmarking suite, taking an average frame rate from either their own built-in benchmarking tools or from my own repeated manual gameplay tests. The games include Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Final Fantasy XV, Metro Exodus, The Witcher III, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Monster Hunter: World and Forza Horizon 4.

As for the individual cards, I’ve taken the results from my Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse benchmarks, which was the card I used in my RX 5600 XT review, and the results from AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT reference cards, which I also used in my RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT reviews. All three GPUs are at the cheaper end of their respective card categories, so it should be a pretty fair comparison across the board. Faster variants of each card may score slightly higher than what I’ve detailed below, but in terms of an overall baseline experience, this should be broadly representative of how they all stack up. To the bar charts!

AMD RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: 1080p benchmarks

As you can see from the graph below, all three RX 5000 cards are more than capable of hitting a smooth 60fps on Ultra settings at 1920×1080. Unless you’ve got a high refresh rate monitor at your disposal, however, then the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT aren’t going to feel any faster than their cheaper RX 5600 XT sibling.

Even if you do have a high refresh rate monitor, though, I’m not sure you’ll really be able to tell the difference between the RX 5600 XT and its £50 / $50 more expensive big brother, the RX 5700. While the RX 5700 does inch ahead of the RX 5600 XT in a lot of today’s big games, we’re often only looking at a handful of frames in each case. Some of you might be able to see the difference without the aid of a frame rate counter, but for me, it all felt much the same. I don’t think my eyes are sharp enough to know that the RX 5700 was actually running 5fps faster in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for example, nor am I able to distinguish between 57fps and 61fps in Metro Exodus.

Indeed, there are even a couple of cases where the RX 5600 XT’s average frame rate comes out in front of the RX 5700, such as in Final Fantasy XV, The Witcher III and Forza Horizon 4. In fact, the only game where the RX 5700 really makes its extra power felt is in Monster Hunter: World, where it’s a good 10fps in front of its RX 5600 XT sibling. Everywhere else, the RX 5600 XT delivers a more or less identical experience for a lot less money.

The RX 5700 XT, meanwhile, is a more obvious step-up in almost every respect. Apart from a couple of outlier cases with games such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and, to some extent, Metro Exodus, the RX 5700 XT continues to justify its higher price in my eyes, offering a tangible performance boost for those with high refresh rate monitors.

AMD RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: 1440p benchmarks

In truth, though, neither the RX 5700 or RX 5700 XT are intended to be used as just 1080p graphics cards. Instead, their forte lies in playing games at 2560×1440, and it’s here where things start to get interesting. Starting at the Ultra end of the spectrum, the RX 5600 XT continues to put in a surprisingly good performance compared to its RX 5700 siblings.

It might not be capable of hitting a consistent 60fps on this quality setting (except in older games such as The Witcher III and very well optimised games like Forza Horizon 4), it’s still only an average of around 5fps slower than the RX 5700. Admittedly, the RX 5700 probably just about holds its own here, as the jump from 40fps to 45fps, or 45-50fps, is much more obvious the eye than it is once you start pushing past 60fps. Is that worth paying an extra £50 / $50 for, though? I’d wager not, especially when knocking down the settings to High will get you much smoother performance all round.

Indeed, as our High results below show, the gap between the RX 5600 XT and RX 5700 becomes even tighter here, making the latter even more redundant than it was before. If you’re wondering whey there aren’t as many games here, that’s because I’ve excluded the ones that were already pushing 60fps on Ultra for this graph. I’ve also left Shadow of the Tomb Raider off as well, because you only need to knock that game’s anti-aliasing down to SMAATx2 on its top Highest setting to get at least 60fps from all three cards. Therefore, you don’t need to drop down to High to get that kind of frame rate.

For these remaining games, then, it’s a very similar picture to what we saw above with our 1080p benchmarks. Apart from another stonking performance in Monster Hunter: World (albeit one you won’t even see without a high refresh rate monitor), the RX 5700 is effectively giving you exactly the same level of performance as the cheaper RX 5600 XT, putting it in an even more precarious position than it was on Ultra.

Even the RX 5700 XT is in a bit of danger here, to be honest, as those with regular 60Hz monitors won’t get any extra benefit. Instead, this card is once again going to feel just as fast as the RX 5600 XT. As a result, if you’re not that bothered about playing games on the highest graphics settings at this resolution, then you’d do just as well saving yourself a wodge of cash and opting for the RX 5600 XT. However, if you’re an ‘Ultra or bust’ kind of person, then I think it’s still worth considering, if only because it’s got that extra headroom to consistent hit 60fps (or damn well near it) on that top quality setting.

AMD RX 5600 XT vs RX 5700: Conclusion

With the arrival of the RX 5600 XT, then, I think it’s fairly safe to say that the RX 5700 has probably had its day. Or at least the single blower fan models of the RX 5700 have, as I’ve yet to give one of the newer dual/triple fan versions of the RX 5700 a proper run through my benchmarking suite. I’ll be doing that very soon, however, so watch this space for an update.

In the meantime, though, I think the RX 5600 XT rightly earns its double spot on our best graphics card list, firstly as the best 1080p graphics card you can buy right now, and secondly as the card you should buy for playing games at 1440p without breaking the bank.

That said, there are a number of other things to consider here apart from each one’s raw performance. Firstly, AMD have said they’re going to be refreshing their Navi line-up at some point this year, and with the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT being the oldest Navi cards they have at the moment, they’re probably going to be first in line to get newer, faster, Super XT/whatever-the-hell-they’re-going-to-be-called versions. We don’t know when that’s going to happen at the moment, though, so if you’re in need of a new graphics card right now, then I think you’ll be perfectly pleased with what the RX 5600 XT has to offer.

However, another thing that’s worth pointing out is the fact that the RX 5600 XT doesn’t come with any free games at the moment, whereas the RX 5700 does — two of them, in fact, as well as three months of Xbox Game Pass for PC as part of AMD’s latest Raise the Game bundle.

I’m still not sure why AMD have chosen to exclude the RX 5600 XT from its current bundle deal, but if you’ve been thinking about buying the upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake or Monster Hunter: World’s Iceborne Master Edition (which comes with the base game and its new Iceborne expansion), then you might, in fact, be better off choosing the RX 5700 instead. Some of that extra value will be naturally negated by the fact you’re paying more for the card in the first place, but overall you’re probably still getting more for your money than you are with the RX 5600 XT. Of course, if you’re one of the hundreds and thousands who already own Monster Hunter: World, then you might as well opt for the RX 5600 XT and just buy Resi 3 when it comes out.

Ultimately, then, it’s not quite as clear cut as the numbers might imply. The RX 5700 is just about hanging in there by the skin of its good value teeth, but to be honest, it’s pretty borderline. It might become a more viable option once AMD’s refresh takes place, but until then, you should almost definitely-maybe go for the RX 5600 XT instead. Probably.

Review and test Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT PULSE – Hardware on DTF

5669
views

RX 5600 XT with its appearance should fill a niche between RX 5500 XT and RX 5700 and provide an attractive price / performance ratio in the most popular category of video cards in the middle price segment.

It is noteworthy that the new video card noticeably differs from the older RX 5700 only in the number of memory chips soldered on the printed circuit board, the RX 5600 XT has two fewer of them — this reduces the amount of memory to 6 GB and narrows the memory access bus to 192 bits

Let’s take a closer look at the Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse and find out all its features.

Appearance and packaging

The

RX 5600 XT Pulse comes in the usual box for the series. All the necessary information about the main features of the video card is carefully printed on the sides of the package.

​Card dimensions: 254 x 135 x 46. 5mm

The catchy design of the cooling system shroud is completely identical to that on the older cards of the series, it is not so easy to distinguish between the RX 5600 XT, RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT cards. Two large fans cope with the task of cooling without excessive noise, and in idle they stop completely.

The back side of the video card is protected by a metal plate; it performs not only a decorative function, but also participates in the process of cooling the power elements of the VRM through two thermal pads that can be seen through the ventilation slots.

The side of the RX 5600 XT Pulse contains the only illuminated element, the bright red Sapphire logo. In addition, you can see an interesting feature — two heat pipes on this side hint at the use of a cooling system identical to the RX 5700 XT Pulse, and not closer in terms of characteristics to the RX 5700 Pulse.

Indeed, on the other side of the card, separate heatsinks for the memory and VRM of the video card are clearly visible. An interesting move from Sapphire, this is not the first RX 5600 XT Pulse video card in my hands, the previous copies were equipped with a cooling system with fewer heat pipes and a radiator common to the memory, VRM and video chip.

Additional power is provided via an 8-pin connector. The identity of printed circuit boards and elements of the cooling system for the RX 5600 and 5700 series is also noticeable in this photo — the cutout in the casing and the free space to the right of the 8-pin connector are intended for an additional connector on older cards.

Standard set of video outputs: 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI.

A nice feature of the Pulse series video cards is the presence of two full-fledged BIOSes and a switch between them. By default, the right switch position corresponds to more efficient settings, and the left switch position corresponds to lower frequencies and lower fan speeds. But no one bothers to use any position at your discretion for any BIOS versions, especially since the cooling system is designed for more heat dissipation than the RX 5600 XT is capable of creating and does not bother with excess noise.

BIOS firmware

The video card under study is from new batches and initially has a video chip boost frequency of 1750 MHz, the memory operates at a frequency of 1750 MHz (14 GHz effective frequency), and the power limit is 160 W. But the first versions of the RX 5600 XT reached the shelves with other frequencies, and the chance to buy such a card is still quite high. Manufacturers promptly released new BIOS versions, for most cards, updating the firmware to the current one is done in a couple of mouse clicks.

To determine the average operating frequencies and temperatures, I will use the ten-minute stress test Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test from the 3DMark package.

Consider GPU-Z logged sensor readings:

The frequency of the video chip during the entire test stays quite close to the maximum boost value, on average — 1731 MHz, according to the voltage and consumption graph of the chip, it can be seen that the card occasionally reaches the 160 W limit.

The noise of the fans did not stand out against the background of a quietly operating system unit, the memory turned out to be the hottest element — closer to the middle of the test, the temperature exceeded 75 °. The GPU temperature did not rise above 62°, and the Tjunction averaged 10° higher — an excellent result for the cooling system. The ambient temperature in all tests was 25-27°.

If your graphics card needs a firmware update, go to the RX 5600 XT PULSE page on the Sapphire website. You will be offered BIOS versions for cards of different batches:

You can find out the right one by marking on the video card itself or on the box.

The downloaded archive contains BIOS images, a firmware program, two batch files to simplify the process and a detailed instruction with pictures.

We install the application, run the desired bat file and reboot — that’s it, the new BIOS is flashed.

Is it necessary to update? I’ll flash the BIOS from a lower clocked first batch card and run some comparison tests.

In addition to lowering the frequencies, the power limit has also decreased; in the first BIOS versions, it is set at 150 W.

In the same Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test, the stability indicator is tenth of a percent higher.

The average GPU frequency is 1600 MHz, more than 100 MHz lower than the original in the current BIOS version, but the chip consumption is almost 30 W lower.

Reducing the memory and chip frequencies had a positive effect on temperatures, they reached the same target values ​​much later and at lower fan speeds — 800 rpm from the middle of the test. In such conditions, it is difficult to distinguish the sound of the cooling system by human hearing even close to the video card. The difference between the chip temperature and Tjunction was a little over 7°. It is noteworthy that similar frequency characteristics are used in the «quiet» version of the BIOS.

Compare performance values ​​in 3DMark Time Spy:

Almost 10% of the difference is a great motivation to go to the video card manufacturer’s website and update the BIOS in a couple of clicks.

The

RX 5600 XT is positioned by AMD as a solution with exceptional performance in FullHD, and it is at this resolution that gaming tests will be launched.

In addition to the dry chart with average fps and average 1% and 0.1% lower FPS, I suggest you check out the video of one of the test runs in each game with full monitoring of system parameters.

​Difficulties for the video card in the workshop benchmark are only places with a lot of smoke, the values ​​of 1% and 0.1% lower FPS are determined precisely by these moments.

Indeed, the performance of the Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse at 1080p is sufficient for gaming even at maximum graphics settings, if even more frames per second are required, the quality settings can be slightly lowered.

Acceleration

GPU overclocking capabilities in the RX 5600 XT are strictly limited to 1820 MHz for maximum boost, it is not possible to bypass this limitation today. This was most likely done to exclude competition between the RX 5600 XT and RX 5700, the older one is able to significantly exceed stock frequencies when manually tuned.

To conquer the frequency of 1820 MHz, a voltage below 1V was enough.

The memory worked stably at the maximum 1860 MHz available in the driver (14880 MHz effective). The power limit can be expanded by 20%, which should be enough for the card to operate within the available frequency limit.

The

Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test will clarify the operating parameters of the resulting graphics card setup.

A high stability value can be interpreted in advance as a lack of emphasis on the power limit and temperature restrictions.

The effective increase in the frequency of the graphic processor was a modest 33 MHz, but the chip consumption remained practically unchanged, an additional 20% of the power limit, as expected, turned out to be excessive.

The temperature regime and fan speed have not changed, which is not surprising, the increase in frequencies is too small.

Measure performance in 3DMark Time Spy:

​7774 points.

Relative to the «out of the box» performance in the test increased by approximately 3.5% — a little, but the effect on temperature and acoustic comfort is practically absent.

Conclusion

Sapphire The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse is an excellent graphics card with a quiet and efficient cooling system designed for much higher heat dissipation of older cards.

Strict restrictions on the maximum frequencies of the graphics processor and memory are a little upset, but not everyone is interested in the operating modes of the video card other than the standard one.

The performance level in games with the current BIOS version is high, you can aim at resolutions higher than 1080p.

Advantages:

• Compact and efficient cooling system.
• Low fan noise level in all operating modes.
• Dimensions allow you to place a video card in most system units.
• High level of performance in its price category.

Disadvantages:

• Unchangeable upper limit of chip power and frequencies.

Hello, dear readers of Uspei.com. The release of the RX 5600 XT graphics card was only a matter of time: AMD needed to strengthen its position in the middle segment of video cards, which is aimed at the attention of budget-conscious enthusiasts.

Since there were no more trump cards in AMD’s pocket to fight the GTX 1660 of all stripes and the RTX 2060, the existing Navi 10 chip, which is used in the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT cards, had to be sacrificed.

Changes in video cards

The graphics processor, compared to the RX 5700, lost one of the four memory controllers , this led to the loss of the second level cache memory associated with it and, what It’s hard not to notice two gigabyte GDDR6 video memory modules, the total volume of which has decreased from 8 to 6 gigabytes. Bus also suffered, the width of which narrowed from 256 to 192 bits.

Memory bandwidth has dropped from 448 to 288 gigabytes per second, and this will make itself felt in voracious games.

But the computing units remained intact, and this is a real gift for those who have enough Full HD, and a serious threat to the RX 5700. Therefore, the chip frequency had to be seriously reduced, and the PR department had to split the cards into Quad HD and Full HD segments , citing, you guessed it, the difference in memory bandwidth.

nVidia did not want to stand aside and decided to strike at the competitor on the eve of the release of the novelty, dropping the price of the RTX 2060 from $350 to $300.

In response, AMD took an unprecedented step: to force card manufacturers to release new BIOS with increased frequencies of the graphics chip and video memory, so as not to fall face down in the light of upcoming reviews.

BIOS updates are reportedly available for most 5600 XT graphics cards: ASUS Strix updated along with TUF, Gigabyte Gaming OC versions, Powercolor Red Dragon and red devil, Sapphire Pulse, and XFX THICC II and III. MSI saved the memory clock boost for the upcoming Gaming Z version, while for the released Gaming X, an increase in only the chip clock is available.

How to update the BIOS for a 5600 XT video card

The update procedure itself is performed differently by manufacturers: Gigabyte simply offers to download the archive and did not consider it necessary to add instructions or at least a couple of lines of text.

Sapphire decided that the instruction would still be useful, and added it to the archive along with the necessary photos, XFX posted everything you need separately, and PowerColor prepared a real quest with the creation of DOS bootable flash drives, transferring BIOS images by folders and command line.

In our hands was the RX 5600 XT card by Strix from ASUS . Fortunately, updating its BIOS is done in just two clicks and will take a couple of minutes at most.

You can see on the screen the difference between the original BIOS and the new one: we have an increase of 110 MHz in the chip and 250 MHz in the actual frequency of the video memory, which increased its bandwidth from 288 to 336 GB / s.

In practice, this gave us an increase of 7 to 9% on average and minimum FPS. Not a bad official bonus, for which you can thank the company nVidia and Huang personally.

Since we are already talking about an increase, overclocking, as expected, is very limited: a maximum of plus 40 MHz for the chip and 110 MHz for the memory, and it is still impossible to remove the restrictions using MorePowerTool . The increase, although insignificant, is present: 2-3 frames will not be superfluous.

Undervolt reduced power consumption from 963 to 880 mV to 130 watts, and the frequencies remained the same as in overclocking: artificially limited potential is evident.

With all the current limits, the card’s appetite is hard-pressed at 180 watts , despite the fact that we are dealing with the same board as the Strix RX 5700 XT, which boasts a powerful 11-phase power subsystem and top-end power controller IR35217.

The peak temperatures of the graphics chip, video memory and power subsystem during overclocking were 65, 78 and 61 degrees, respectively, at a maximum fan speed of 1960 rpm. The result is excellent, but this is to be expected, given the cooling system and VRM, designed for a much more voracious chip.

To find out what level of performance the new card provides, we will be helped by: ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT , its direct competitor GeForce RTX 206 0 by ASUS Strix, the original rival of GTX 1660 Ti version TUF and TUF 71 and Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 Pulse.

Configuration

The configuration of the test bench remained the same, with one important exception: we added a 1 TB Seagate FireCuda 520 NVMe SSD to the system.

Escape from Tarkov , maximum settings without supersampling. In sunny weather, places with a lot of vegetation and shadows significantly hit the 5600XT’s weak point: memory bandwidth. To reduce the gap of 16% overclocking will not work. In any case, the top three will allow you to play with a comfortable frame rate. 9Far Cry New Dawn is well optimized and works great on all maps presented in the test. If we talk about the 5600XT, then it was a bit darkened by the new product’s jerks in the middle of the benchmark. The RX 5700 leads, albeit by a slight margin.

But in Gears 5 , jerks darkened the picture of the older RX 5700, and this, it would seem, is a title favorable to AMD cards.

In the benchmark Ghost Recon Breakpoint , you can not hope for smoothness. One way or another, AMD cards show their worst side in it, and the larger amount of video memory in the RX 5700 did not change the situation. Although nVidia cards with a 6GB video buffer are not leading in terms of average, they noticeably win in terms of minimum FPS.

Metro Exodus , ultra settings with tessellation enabled but no Hairworks, and PhysX. AMD cards still have problems with frame times, but it’s worth noting that the gameplay on ultra-settings on any card from the top three will be comfortable.

Need For Speed ​​Heat is a CPU-hungry game, so there isn’t much difference between mid-range cards. The RX 5700 takes the lead, and the average FPS between the new product and the RTX 2060 is parity.

Ultra settings Red Dead Redemption 2 for our test participants, after all, too much. For comfortable gameplay in this case, you will need more guns. The reduced memory bandwidth of the 5600XT makes itself felt: overclocking won’t be enough.

Resident Evil 2 is a native element for AMD cards even in DirectX 11 mode. In terms of average FPS, the new product approached the RTX 2060, and in terms of the minimum it went ahead. The RX 5700 leads the way and delivers the best smoothness in this game.

And finally, A Plague Tale Innocence. Not the most famous game of 2019, but still demanding even in Full HD, despite a modest appetite for video memory. And this favorably affects the results of the 5600XT, which is only a couple of frames behind the leader RX 5700.

Pricing

In summary, the RTX 2060 is a much more awkward competitor for AMD than the GTX 1660 Ti. With a set of exclusive chips from nVidia, it will no longer be possible to fight comparable FPS, after all, the entrance ticket to Ray Tracing looks more tempting.

If you look at the top ASUS Strix boards, at the moment the new 5600XT is more expensive than not only the RTX 2060, but even the RX 5700. MSI has a similar incident. I don’t know who to blame, but even Sapphire’s reduced price tag doesn’t look like a «value alternative» to the 5700 and 2060.
