Note for atomic hearts #2: running it on DX11 using the leaked build files gives you even better frametimes AND fps. Dont ask me where I got that from tho.
Pretty weird how it only has 6GB of VRAM, less than the top Polaris cards. I rarely see games surpass 6GB on my BIOS-modded RX 570 8GB, but Resident Evil Village ate up 7.7GB at nearly max settings and still maintained 60fps with a few rare drops. If I was buying a GPU these days, I'd want 8GB at the minimum and really I'd want over 8GB just to be able to enjoy those ultra textures a bit longer.
It's a cut down version of the rx5700. AMD has also limited the tdp and memory oc of the card (max is 1820) after a bios update (the 14gbps) to compete against the rtx 2060 at launch, but not close enough to cannibalize the regular 5700 sales. There are a few people out there who managed to flash the card further and with a mem oc of around 2000mhz, it was roughly 5% slower than a vanilla 5700.
Currently on RX 7900XTX, and RX 6600XT is minimum for nowadays and not that much more money. 5700XT is even cheaper and an even better option if willing to go used.
Remember that a lot of games will simply take all the Vram they can. Just because it reserves 7.7gb, doesn't mean the game actually needs it or uses it all. It just loads in more data, in case it might need it.
@@shepardpolska But for high-res textures, you do need that VRAM. If a game can't fit the textures in VRAM, it will use some of your system RAM which is far slower and involves more latency. I remember benchmarks of Doom Eternal where the RX 570 4GB was only a bit slower than the RX 580 8GB as long as the game didn't need more than 4GB. But if you cranked the settings all the way up, the 580 only lost a bit of performance while the 570 became almost unplayable. The usual 10-13% gap between the two GPUs became 50%+. And it's all because the 4GB 570 doesn't have the VRAM for those Ultra Nightmare textures.
Had a 5600xt and enjoyed it for being my first GPU. It’s a good 1080p card with a little 1440p depending on the game. Sold it for $225 a little while ago.
Same here, I got mine in late 2020 in my first desktop PC, and it was a huge step up from my old lenovo laptop. Had a very good experience with it considering that it's an amd card, but I felt like 6GB Vram was starting to hold me back, so I bought an rx 6800 late last year, absolutely loving it so far.
Mine runs Dead Space at 60-90 FPS 1440p with FSR 2.1 quality. Low-medium settings, I prefer a sharper image. FSR really makes this a viable 1440p card.
I was gifted a 3080 10GB by my best friend and it replaced my 5600xt but I havent gotten rid of it, I love that plucky little card and it did well for me for the 2 years I ran it in my system. I felt so lucky to have it during the GPU scalping phase we went through. I just cant bring myself to part with it lol
Greg Salazar just did a video showcasing how cheap 5700 XT's are going for used ($150 on average). My only concern with RDNA1 is they had some notoriously bad drivers, but for those prices it's definitely worth that risk.
As an RDNA1 user (using the 5600 XT lmao), the drivers were pretty bad in the beginning but I haven't had a crash in a year. They've gotten so so much better.
The only thing missing in my eyes is bringing up RSR when it comes to RDNA cards (most videos about them don't tbh).. it's a big part of their marketing and an easy to find and implement option in the AMD software. It's that little added benefit of having system wide FSR in games that don't have it or DLSS for that matter. So you could try some of these games at "4k" that being said I have an RX 6900XT so maybe I just wanna see it because i never end up having to use it haha ...other than that, great video and earns a like from me.

This was in my first gaming pc and I paired it with a Ryzen 3 3100. It was an amazing card. When I was doing my research I found that the best models were either of the sapphire pulse, the Msi gaming x card, or the msi gaming mx. I got the gaming mx, and it was basically the same in thermals with the gaming x without all the rgb.
dude holy shit, i just bought one of these for my home PC when im not at my tech school dorm, and was just thinking about reccomending this in the comments on your next video. what a coincidence. I got a sapphire pulse model for ~140 USD, which is a great price these days.
I loved my RX5600 XT. It started acting up a couple months ago after 3 years, going on 4. Random green screens. Definitely the card, because I have no issues with my 750 Ti, or the A2000 I replaced it with.
Have a 5600XT in my used only secondary PC and it performs really nicely in pretty much everything at 1080p, can recommend for the used prices of ~180€.
Honestly, the 5600xt is a brilliant card for the cost. I've got my MSI gaming X 5600xt paired with a R5 3600xt and it's an awesome contender. Granted it's held back a little with only 6gb vram but for the cost you can't go wrong. ( I payed £170 several months ago).
Got Asus strix 5700xt few months ago for €150 with some limited warranty from a seller. It was late production so had no problems with wrong screws like some early models. Just recently replaced thermalpads which were good but the one under backplate was stupidly thick so got thinner one. Now running whisper quite with huge UV (core 1800MHz/850mV).
Loved this card from 2021-2023. Eventually found a really good deal on a 6800xt, so I moved over to that. 5600xt could also run all VR titles at low or medium settings, which was a great deal better than my struggling rx 580.
Had one, an MSI gaming X. Flashed the gaming Z bios onto it to unlock the full memory bandwidth. Awesome card! I loved it! Only parted with it when I got a good deal on a 6900xt. I then sold it for more than I paid for it. (Bought used). I'd have another tomorrow. Great video as usual mate 👍
Got this bad boy in mid 2020 for 350$ which was Asus Dual 5600XT, only issue was bad drivers (now fixed) otherwise almost all games run at 100fps with med-high settings! Overall super happy with this card 😍
goddamn that was expensive. i got mine in january 2020 and it cost only 298 euros (like 310 bucks) and usually eu is way more expensive. got the sapphire pulse too best or second best model
I got the RX 5600XT just before the GPU crisis happened and still use it. But I want to upgrade it mostly for vr and some newer games since I also upgraded my CPU to a 5800X from a 3600.
I highly recommend checking out the 6800xt if you can swing it. I found one new on Amazon for $570 USD (power color red dragon) and it was a fantastic upgrade for VR.
Same setup here. But I'm confused regarding the upgrade part.. Gaming at 1440p round 70-80ish fps with resolution scaling with the 5600xt. The lows/framedips in some titles ruin the experience at times, so that got me wondering what a 'good' budget upgrade would even be? Was thinking an 6700 or a 6700xt, but over here those still are around 400 euros new.
It really is crazy how cheap you can get RDNA1 cards here in Czechia. Like I can get a second hand 5700XT with a decent cooler for LESS than half the price of the CHEAPEST brand new 3060 with an entry level cooler and for just a little over the half of a brand new 6600's price. I have recommended them to some friends that were in the market for a new GPU, but they don't want to buy used and/or think that these prices are just too good to be legit. These insane prices almost make me want to buy one even tho I already have a stronger GPU. Great video.
It's just the abject stupidity of nVidia buyers it's at the point where it's on the level of Apple buyers who'll pay twice as much money for half the performance because "it's just betterTM" The low end of nVidia is not worth the bother at all, and RDNA2 flat out scrubs the floor with them at cheaper. 3050 prices was a joke, even in USA. I think it was Brazil or something where AMD cost more though, can't remember. The overall performance of nVidia is just sad for how much you're paying.
Got a slightly used 5600 XT a month ago for my budget upgrade from 1050 Ti. Been satisfied with it so far, and the only issue I ran into was installing the drivers.
@@brgir this was a fresh install for my new build. Everything seemed fine at the time, but then Adrenalin randomly decided to just banish itself from my PC around a day after, taking drivers with it. This only happened once, but still it's weird.
@@pleasantivan that is normal to happen once or even more times if you are overclocking, undervolting, etc... In the 3 years I have owned the rx 5600 xt, my drivers only got removed once because of an really unstable undervolt + overclock I made. But if you are in a situation like my friend where your pc blue screens every day and drivers get removed every time( thus giving a hint pointing at a gpu problem) , then visit a technician that can help you or take the pc apart and put some older gpu and test it. ( or if you see you still have that problem after a gpu swap, swap out the other parts if you have replacements, if not a technician is helpful as I said)
I got an even better deal with my rx5700xt for less than 150$. it was very clean(honestly it looked new than second hand) 5600/5700 series are real bangers today.
I paired an RX 5600 XT and Ryzen 7 3700X in my sleeper build a couple years ago. I did buy the 5600 XT new, it was just before the gpu apocalypse. It's stuck in a beige InWin case from 2008 and I think it's great.
Amazing video. RX 5600 XT and RX 5700 XT (depending where you live ofc) are best price to performance cards in my humble opinion. I've tested quiet a few gpu's for last 12 months or so, going between Nvidia and AMD, but I have to say 5600 xt/5700/5700 xt are amazing for the price.
>2:02 >Rusty screws Found the seller the card in the ocean or is the reason that the 103 years of age? I hope that you get the Radeon VII in your hands for testing. (final stage of CGN)
Id actually recommend the 5700xt over the 5600xt, they're both very similar in used prices (got mine for 160 quid 3 weeks ago) and has a lot more punch to it. The drivers I think have settled down finally, but also choosing a good aib partner is important. I got myself a power color red dragon 5700xt which has been doing very well thus far in terms of temps. More often than not, the main die will be fine on partner cards, but keep an eye out for VRM heating; You don't want that to exceed 90C as GDDR6 begins to degrade after that point. The reference, XFX Thicc and Gigabyte cards all performed terribly with VRM cooling. Other than that, as long as your GPU doesn't really cross 80C on the main die, you should be just fine.
Wanted to know that third fan of this gpu only works when your card is on load ? I have the same gpu so i am confused my third fan works when i stress the gpu or play games
I have a Dell G5 laptop with a RX 5600M, SUPER powerful GPU for the price I paid like 600$ for the laptop used and it has a 144Hz IPS panel, and it can drive it no problem in most of the games I play including Insurgency Sandstorm and newer games too, it's really powerful for the price.
From a performance perspective, the biggest problem with the 5600xt is the 5700 non-xt, which features more Sp's and 2 additional gigs of vram. From a price perspective the biggest problem is the existence of 5700xt's
Kinda thinking the 6600 will eventually be the true successor to the rx580. It’s dropped as low as $200 new, it should be dirt cheap used after a complete RDNA 3 line comes out,
Yeah, which bear in mind though isn't 6600XT=5700XT or roughly something like that? I think considering how horrible insane pricing nVidia's even budget cards are, there's no point to considering a lower end nVidia. Even recently the 3050 cost as much as a 5600XT when it was brand new. Meanwhile it was like $240 for RX 6600, that outperformed 3050 by a wide margin.
Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Upgrading from an RX 570 and since I run Linux I like to stick with AMD. Hopefully driver support will keep going for awhile. It will be interesting to see how well it pairs with my old Xeon workstation.
Recently upgraded from this card after 4 years of use, it's definitely a great pick for a cheaper card that runs games well, most games could reach 1080p60 easily with high-medium settings
What made the RX470 to RX580 so popular was the cheap price and the lack of higher end cards. AMD was forced to sell them at a low price, because a GTX1080 was 2x the performance at launch. Because AMD rebranded it and didn't release any other card in that segment for almost 4 years a lot of them were made and bought (also by miners). RX5600XT was more expensive at launch and I'd say it's still a card you don't come by very often in the used market. Polaris was more popular among miners. I'd say there is no spiritual successor to Polaris atm because AMD again has a full stack of cards out and they are all priced high. If you are talking about an old card that still holds its own in new titles I'd rather consider the 5700XT or even Vega64... the used prices have dropped a lot. (I'd prefer a V64 over 5600XT)
I upgraded from a 5600 xt to a rtx 4060 ti. I am aware of the horrible reviews but it was the only upgrade that made sense to me within my budget. About $400 was what I could do, and with any other option I would have had to upgrade my power supply. This worked out really well for me. I shouldn't be too concerned with 8gb for the future, I will just forget ray tracing and use dlss when available and upscaling, drop shading quality and detail distance. The games should still look pretty good with those tweaks.
5600xt, what a good card, had a 580 nitro+ before getting that card, the msi gaming xtx (5700xt metal shroud with red details) and it was cold as winter, less 45° all the time, im rocking a 6600xt red devil now, but i kinda felt in love with the msi desing.
I'm gonna be honest, I had a solid pause when I saw my own GPU in the title. I bought it when I couldn't find a 2060 on sale right before the GPUcopalypse, and I'm glad I did because the GPU has only gotten better as time has gone on.
great gpu i still have it i bought it on preorder on january 2020 right before the prices went insane it was an incredible value gpu i can still run games like nfs unbound with +60 fps on 1440p VSR on a 1080p monitor with high settings
Every time I watch your videos I think you have like 50 mil subs cuz they seem like... idk professional enough for a big ytber lmao You deserve more for those in-depth benchmarks
I bought a used pc super cheap last year with a 5600xt and it runs most games really well I'm shocked how often i prefer playing on it over my xbox series x
Gots me an Asus model today, one owner, for games only. $75 us. Great value. I don't really need it but it wil find it's way into one of my older systems. Could not pass it up. Local card too. I have a RX 6750 XT in my main rig, one with a RX 5700XT and a couple with gtx 980 TIs. I'll probably throw this into my media server with a 2700x and 15 gig of 3200. It has 6 TB of storage so now I can game on it and not run out of space.
did you set custom curve for coolers? i have the same 5600XT, and it reaches 85+ C° under load in q300l case, 76 on custom noisy curve and PL cut to 120 (same frequency, it just lowers current to 875mv)
Aliexpress has some good offerings there, though, there's one thing to mention, those have a high chance of being used mining cards, so there's quite a gamble. I decided to take my chances and bought one last week for around 200 us dollars (it probably should be less, but all in latin america is more expensive) it should arrive next week. hopefully luck is on my side and it holds for a long time
🙂 on some of the other tech channels they mentioned that the 5600XT and 5700XT and pretty much the whole lineup are cheap af on ebay, the only problem is they might have been mined, I have a Saphire 57XT in one of my rigs, I got it open box new from Microcenter a year ago, its decent and it uses Two 8pin plugs, it runs somewhere between a 6600XT and a 6700. Thanks for the video.
I use an MSI RX5600 XT Mech OC 6GB paired with an Intel i7-3770 and with 32GB of Ram and an SSD. I run three 24" 1920x1080 ISP Monitors via the three Display Ports on the card. The only game I've ran into trouble with was MS2020 which I'm guessing is because of the CPU being ready for retirement. Truth be told it's time for a new build which I'm planning out now tbh but I will not be buying a new GFX card straight away I know that much but in time I will upgrade the card yes but only as the final upgrade part to my new machine. I love the 5600XT especially this Mech OC it's quiet and it's fast and like I said only Flightsim was a no go but I know the card isn't the problem. Currently playing Atomic Heart & F1 22 maxed out just about and sometimes using Eye Infinity Mode so 3 screens as 1 wrap around depending of the game really. Anyway great review m8 great card. Long live the RX 5600XT Oh btw have you heard of the RX 5800 XT ? I saw it in an AMD chart today and was like erm what is this?!?!?! lolz peace out pal.
You can get a used 5600XT as low as $65 these days and most older CPUs can max it out. That is one great value with numbers like these, nearly as good as a new RX 6600. Then there is the 5700XT as low as $125 and that beats a new $350 RTX3060! Great video!
@@rshuadfrancis4218 Ebay, I am looking at one for $50 no bids right now. A little patience and you can catch them that low. The ones listed over $100 get very little action.
The true low budget king is the GTX 970. Goes for around 50 Dollar used. I bought a new one a couple days ago for 30 dollar shipped. But if u want to spend a bit more, the RX 5600XT is and extremely good choice. I would love to see tests, cause a used GTX 1080 sometimes also goes for around 130 dollar used.

This indeed seems to be true for especially ones holding on to socket 1366. RX 580 and later are incompatible with the AMI BIOS that Asus socket 1366 motherboards use. You would be lucky to get a Radeon R9 or a GeForce GTX 980, with legacy-BIOS.
This is a decent card that is just about on par with the Rtx 2060 regarding performance. Both were good for 1440p gaming when they came out and still are, if you dont take into account those heavier modern titles. The prices on this video are in my opinion cheap, since a new gtx 1650 is often more expensive. I suggest you buy it if it is so much under 200.
What I'm getting from the Cyberpunk benchmark is that you can set the frame limiter to 48 fps and get a solid framerate. Twice cinematic, neither PAL nor NTSC
i run this GPU with a 5800X3D and GPU can definitely pull more in games like fortnite (i average 320-400fps 1080p competitive settings) and overclocking should be considered since these cards have decent amount of headroom in them if you wish to do a power play table mod to unlock more power and higher clocks where you should expect rx5700/5700xt performance
I'm running a sapphire rx 5600 xt too with rog b450e r5 3600 on pcie 3.0 but only work just pcie x8, do a couple of suggestion for running in x16 but not working, the diff from x8 to x16 on pcie 3 is not that to much right?
nice video, seeing the performance in the witcher 3 I have a problem my rx 6700 xt in 1440p at high setting barely reaches 40 fps, which doesn't make sense, touching settings the screen space reflections option when set to high runs at about 40 FPS and the reflections look good almost like ray tracing, on low it runs at about 80 to 90 FPS. very rare.
Had to get rx5600xt after this video. So found a mint clean one for 120eur - oh boys what a value, at least in my favourite game Warzone. 130fps with High textures, High antialiasing, FSR 2.1 Quality and rest effects are Low or Off. I mean.. I was almost spending 300eur to get match for 144hz monitor before discovering this gem. Now, I can buy holiday tickets for left over 180eur instead 😅😅
I would spend $10/£10 more for the RX 5700 non-XT, which you can flash with an XT BIOS to get much better performance. Or, if you can find one, the RX 6700 non-XT and the mobile RTX 2080 Super are great-value options as well, although the latter might require some messing around with the drivers.

I loved my RX5600 XT. It started acting up a couple months ago after 3 years, going on 4. Random green screens. Definitely the card, because I have no issues with my 750 Ti, or the A2000 I replaced it with.
Your PSU, maybe?
Oh boy, I can't wait for your 6650XT video!!
Have a 5600XT in my used only secondary PC and it performs really nicely in pretty much everything at 1080p, can recommend for the used prices of ~180€.
I get myself last year Rx 5700 Reference for 150€ - sold my old Rx 470 4Gb 100€ = Upgrade cost me 50€ ]:) Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra 1080P avg 60 :)
Those GPUs seem to be good enough for Halo MCC at 4K 60 FPS.
Honestly, the 5600xt is a brilliant card for the cost.
I've got my MSI gaming X 5600xt paired with a R5 3600xt and it's an awesome contender. Granted it's held back a little with only 6gb vram but for the cost you can't go wrong. ( I payed £170 several months ago).
That's what I had, but the stock VBIOS only lets me select "1820 MHz", which in reality is 1.7 GHz max. Tested in games.
3600 xt?
@@turkeyicecreamman basically a slightly better binned 3600x that amd remarkated in 2020. No real difference other than retail cost.
Got Asus strix 5700xt few months ago for €150 with some limited warranty from a seller. It was late production so had no problems with wrong screws like some early models. Just recently replaced thermalpads which were good but the one under backplate was stupidly thick so got thinner one. Now running whisper quite with huge UV (core 1800MHz/850mV).
Loved this card from 2021-2023. Eventually found a really good deal on a 6800xt, so I moved over to that. 5600xt could also run all VR titles at low or medium settings, which was a great deal better than my struggling rx 580.
Had one, an MSI gaming X. Flashed the gaming Z bios onto it to unlock the full memory bandwidth. Awesome card! I loved it! Only parted with it when I got a good deal on a 6900xt. I then sold it for more than I paid for it. (Bought used).
I'd have another tomorrow. Great video as usual mate 👍
I only had a custom VBIOS to emphasize on max core boost to 2.0 GHz. I didn't get as much gain from a VRAM OC, unlike the GeForce GTX 1660 Super.
That music with these benchmarks are such a nice touch

Got this bad boy in mid 2020 for 350$ which was Asus Dual 5600XT, only issue was bad drivers (now fixed)
otherwise almost all games run at 100fps with med-high settings! Overall super happy with this card 😍
goddamn that was expensive. i got mine in january 2020 and it cost only 298 euros (like 310 bucks) and usually eu is way more expensive. got the sapphire pulse too best or second best model
I got the RX 5600XT just before the GPU crisis happened and still use it. But I want to upgrade it mostly for vr and some newer games since I also upgraded my CPU to a 5800X from a 3600.
I highly recommend checking out the 6800xt if you can swing it. I found one new on Amazon for $570 USD (power color red dragon) and it was a fantastic upgrade for VR.
Same setup here. But I'm confused regarding the upgrade part.. Gaming at 1440p round 70-80ish fps with resolution scaling with the 5600xt. The lows/framedips in some titles ruin the experience at times, so that got me wondering what a 'good' budget upgrade would even be? Was thinking an 6700 or a 6700xt, but over here those still are around 400 euros new.
@@itshugh6750for 2k might as well get nvidia
how was the improvement? i still have a 3600x with 5600xt and a b450 mobo. im wondering about upgrading soon
It really is crazy how cheap you can get RDNA1 cards here in Czechia. Like I can get a second hand 5700XT with a decent cooler for LESS than half the price of the CHEAPEST brand new 3060 with an entry level cooler and for just a little over the half of a brand new 6600's price. I have recommended them to some friends that were in the market for a new GPU, but they don't want to buy used and/or think that these prices are just too good to be legit. These insane prices almost make me want to buy one even tho I already have a stronger GPU. Great video.
It's just the abject stupidity of nVidia buyers it's at the point where it's on the level of Apple buyers who'll pay twice as much money for half the performance because "it's just betterTM" The low end of nVidia is not worth the bother at all, and RDNA2 flat out scrubs the floor with them at cheaper. 3050 prices was a joke, even in USA. I think it was Brazil or something where AMD cost more though, can't remember. The overall performance of nVidia is just sad for how much you're paying.
Got a slightly used 5600 XT a month ago for my budget upgrade from 1050 Ti. Been satisfied with it so far, and the only issue I ran into was installing the drivers.
How did you run into an issue installing the drivers? Forgot to delete the old ones or somth?
@@brgir this was a fresh install for my new build. Everything seemed fine at the time, but then Adrenalin randomly decided to just banish itself from my PC around a day after, taking drivers with it. This only happened once, but still it's weird.
@@pleasantivan that is normal to happen once or even more times if you are overclocking, undervolting, etc... In the 3 years I have owned the rx 5600 xt, my drivers only got removed once because of an really unstable undervolt + overclock I made.
But if you are in a situation like my friend where your pc blue screens every day and drivers get removed every time( thus giving a hint pointing at a gpu problem) , then visit a technician that can help you or take the pc apart and put some older gpu and test it.
( or if you see you still have that problem after a gpu swap, swap out the other parts if you have replacements, if not a technician is helpful as I said)
@@brgir nah, everything seems fine so far. Thanks for advice, however. I'll bear this in mind for the 6700 I'm planning to get sometime soon. :)
Wow, seeing my exact build in action running games I cannot afford makes me kind of glad for what a simple yet hard-working machine I have.
game pass keys are less than 3 euros if that would interest you
@@lefteris19 I have like 80 of them, the non stackable kind, but most of the "big" games arent there
Got mine on march 2020 for 300 euros, still having a blast with it today. Sapphire pulse model
I really enjoy your channel and content. Have a great day and thank you for the amazing videos!
I had the sapphire pulse 5600xt, it was excellent. It currently lives on in my friend's PC and still handles modern games gracefully.
everytime i watch ur channel i cant believe u "only" have 21000 subs. Ur channel looks and sounds like a 500.000 channel for sure!
Thanks for reviewing the card I have in my pc ! Definitely a good pairing for my 2560x1080p Ultrawide
Price wise 5600 XTs came out competing with 2060 supers and is now competing price wise against 1650s.... what a time to be alive
Just got this for $90 off marketplace. It works pretty well for my games and thanks for the video Iceberg ❤
I had 1650 super Phoenix and upgraded to RX 5600 XT Saphire,im soo happy,,also i have Ryzen 5 3600x
I’ve just brought one from CEX for £120 with a 24 month warranty. I’ve come from a gtx970. Can’t wait to get it home.
I am thrilled. Just picked up a 5600 xt for $100. Nice upgrade from a GT 1030
I got an even better deal with my rx5700xt for less than 150$. it was very clean(honestly it looked new than second hand)
5600/5700 series are real bangers today.
I’m actually surprised this card did so much better than I expected.
I got the rx 460 back when you recommended it, it's a bit sad that i didnt wait for longer for prices to drop
I paired an RX 5600 XT and Ryzen 7 3700X in my sleeper build a couple years ago. I did buy the 5600 XT new, it was just before the gpu apocalypse.
It's stuck in a beige InWin case from 2008 and I think it's great.
I got mine right before the crypto boom for $239
It's been my Polaris replacement for years 😆
Amazing video. RX 5600 XT and RX 5700 XT (depending where you live ofc) are best price to performance cards in my humble opinion. I've tested quiet a few gpu's for last 12 months or so, going between Nvidia and AMD, but I have to say 5600 xt/5700/5700 xt are amazing for the price.
I've had the Powercolor Red Devil RX5600xt since launch. Lovely little card
Had this card for 2-3 years and it still plays triple A games excellent
Got one from CEX, looked like a miner dumped a load of them at one store. It's very impressive at 1080p, did a great job on Forza 5 and Cyberpunk.
>2:02
>Rusty screws
Found the seller the card in the ocean or is the reason that the 103 years of age?
I hope that you get the Radeon VII in your hands for testing. (final stage of CGN)
Another video that made me remember when I bought my current TUF 5600XT instead of the ROG 5700XT for $30 more in my country. Same store.
Id actually recommend the 5700xt over the 5600xt, they're both very similar in used prices (got mine for 160 quid 3 weeks ago) and has a lot more punch to it. The drivers I think have settled down finally, but also choosing a good aib partner is important. I got myself a power color red dragon 5700xt which has been doing very well thus far in terms of temps. More often than not, the main die will be fine on partner cards, but keep an eye out for VRM heating; You don't want that to exceed 90C as GDDR6 begins to degrade after that point. The reference, XFX Thicc and Gigabyte cards all performed terribly with VRM cooling. Other than that, as long as your GPU doesn't really cross 80C on the main die, you should be just fine.
There's a hint at the end of the video about my next GPU review, that last shot at the end isn't the 5600 XT 😉
The rx 5700 is also good for a decent price.
@@IcebergTech looking forward to it. I tried to get my own pulse forever, would be nice to see how it stacks up to my red dragon.
Wanted to know that third fan of this gpu only works when your card is on load ? I have the same gpu so i am confused my third fan works when i stress the gpu or play games
I have a Dell G5 laptop with a RX 5600M, SUPER powerful GPU for the price I paid like 600$ for the laptop used and it has a 144Hz IPS panel, and it can drive it no problem in most of the games I play including Insurgency Sandstorm and newer games too, it's really powerful for the price.
8:25 tinkering with car physics aswell i see
🤣
From a performance perspective, the biggest problem with the 5600xt is the 5700 non-xt, which features more Sp's and 2 additional gigs of vram. From a price perspective the biggest problem is the existence of 5700xt's
Kinda thinking the 6600 will eventually be the true successor to the rx580. It’s dropped as low as $200 new, it should be dirt cheap used after a complete RDNA 3 line comes out,
Yeah, which bear in mind though isn't 6600XT=5700XT or roughly something like that? I think considering how horrible insane pricing nVidia's even budget cards are, there's no point to considering a lower end nVidia. Even recently the 3050 cost as much as a 5600XT when it was brand new. Meanwhile it was like $240 for RX 6600, that outperformed 3050 by a wide margin.
Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Upgrading from an RX 570 and since I run Linux I like to stick with AMD. Hopefully driver support will keep going for awhile.
It will be interesting to see how well it pairs with my old Xeon workstation.
Recently upgraded from this card after 4 years of use, it's definitely a great pick for a cheaper card that runs games well, most games could reach 1080p60 easily with high-medium settings
Got my 5700xt for $120. Was debating on gettting a newer rx6600 or a used 5700xt. Went for the used part. Saved some money to get a better cpu.
Nice price. Isn't it still basically a 1440p card? on everything but cyberpunk anyway.
What made the RX470 to RX580 so popular was the cheap price and the lack of higher end cards. AMD was forced to sell them at a low price, because a GTX1080 was 2x the performance at launch. Because AMD rebranded it and didn't release any other card in that segment for almost 4 years a lot of them were made and bought (also by miners). RX5600XT was more expensive at launch and I'd say it's still a card you don't come by very often in the used market. Polaris was more popular among miners. I'd say there is no spiritual successor to Polaris atm because AMD again has a full stack of cards out and they are all priced high.
If you are talking about an old card that still holds its own in new titles I'd rather consider the 5700XT or even Vega64... the used prices have dropped a lot. (I'd prefer a V64 over 5600XT)
I upgraded from a 5600 xt to a rtx 4060 ti. I am aware of the horrible reviews but it was the only upgrade that made sense to me within my budget. About $400 was what I could do, and with any other option I would have had to upgrade my power supply. This worked out really well for me. I shouldn't be too concerned with 8gb for the future, I will just forget ray tracing and use dlss when available and upscaling, drop shading quality and detail distance. The games should still look pretty good with those tweaks.
5600xt, what a good card, had a 580 nitro+ before getting that card, the msi gaming xtx (5700xt metal shroud with red details) and it was cold as winter, less 45° all the time, im rocking a 6600xt red devil now, but i kinda felt in love with the msi desing.
How much of a performance improvement is the 6600xt in your opinion?
I bought this card new for £250 just before the gpu crisis. The were going for £700 a few weeks after. Best money i ever spent on a gpu.
I snagged a RX6700XT for $400AU which is about £220, I'm pretty chuffed with that find.
In July, 2022, I got an RX 6750 XT. '22 was the year of me replacing the Navi1s.
recently built a pc for a friend with this card in it. it is a great 400 pound pc with a r5 3600 and 16gigs of ram
i have a radeon pro w5700 and i can confirm, rdna 1 is still very capable
I'm gonna be honest, I had a solid pause when I saw my own GPU in the title. I bought it when I couldn't find a 2060 on sale right before the GPUcopalypse, and I'm glad I did because the GPU has only gotten better as time has gone on.
great gpu i still have it i bought it on preorder on january 2020 right before the prices went insane it was an incredible value gpu i can still run games like nfs unbound with +60 fps on 1440p VSR on a 1080p monitor with high settings
Every time I watch your videos I think you have like 50 mil subs cuz they seem like... idk professional enough for a big ytber lmao
You deserve more for those in-depth benchmarks
I bought a used pc super cheap last year with a 5600xt and it runs most games really well I'm shocked how often i prefer playing on it over my xbox series x
Guys, is this GPU worth to keep for about 2-5 years? i mainly play FPS games on high fps and quite low resolution. Please help
Gots me an Asus model today, one owner, for games only. $75 us. Great value. I don't really need it but it wil find it's way into one of my older systems. Could not pass it up. Local card too. I have a RX 6750 XT in my main rig, one with a RX 5700XT and a couple with gtx 980 TIs. I'll probably throw this into my media server with a 2700x and 15 gig of 3200. It has 6 TB of storage so now I can game on it and not run out of space.
Its here great review
I have 5600xt sapphire pulse
Still perfect for 1080 gaming after 3 years ago
I still have my Pulse RX 5600 XT (Dual Fan) as a spare card. I might rebuild my old Ryzen 5 3600 with it and keep it for a backup system.
did you set custom curve for coolers? i have the same 5600XT, and it reaches 85+ C° under load in q300l case, 76 on custom noisy curve and PL cut to 120 (same frequency, it just lowers current to 875mv)
The last generation of AMD GPU have sure been looking tasty. I've been on the look out for a cheap 5700xt.
Aliexpress has some good offerings there, though, there's one thing to mention, those have a high chance of being used mining cards, so there's quite a gamble. I decided to take my chances and bought one last week for around 200 us dollars (it probably should be less, but all in latin america is more expensive) it should arrive next week. hopefully luck is on my side and it holds for a long time
Thanks for this very informative video.
Nice video! You had me cracking up at your "It's not all sunshine and hand jobs." comment on Cyberpunk!! 😂😂👍👍
Wonder how it compares to 1660 ti or super, just got 1660 ti for 100€+postage(90£) and seen those things in ebay at 140€
6GB of VRAM is going to be questionable pretty soon.
When you run out, the performance tanks.
🙂 on some of the other tech channels they mentioned that the 5600XT and 5700XT and pretty much the whole lineup are cheap af on ebay, the only problem is they might have been mined, I have a Saphire 57XT in one of my rigs, I got it open box new from Microcenter a year ago, its decent and it uses Two 8pin plugs, it runs somewhere between a 6600XT and a 6700. Thanks for the video.
launched 103 years ago??? 00:46 🤣
Still rocking my XFX RX 480 RS 8gig. Playing games at 1440p. Medium to high settings...money well spent
I use an MSI RX5600 XT Mech OC 6GB paired with an Intel i7-3770 and with 32GB of Ram and an SSD. I run three 24" 1920x1080 ISP Monitors via the three Display Ports on the card. The only game I've ran into trouble with was MS2020 which I'm guessing is because of the CPU being ready for retirement. Truth be told it's time for a new build which I'm planning out now tbh but I will not be buying a new GFX card straight away I know that much but in time I will upgrade the card yes but only as the final upgrade part to my new machine. I love the 5600XT especially this Mech OC it's quiet and it's fast and like I said only Flightsim was a no go but I know the card isn't the problem. Currently playing Atomic Heart & F1 22 maxed out just about and sometimes using Eye Infinity Mode so 3 screens as 1 wrap around depending of the game really. Anyway great review m8 great card. Long live the RX 5600XT
Oh btw have you heard of the RX 5800 XT ? I saw it in an AMD chart today and was like erm what is this?!?!?! lolz peace out pal.
I still have an RX 5500 XT 8 GB Mech lying around. I bought it before I even bought the RX 5600 XT. It was kept as a backup.
You can get a used 5600XT as low as $65 these days and most older CPUs can max it out. That is one great value with numbers like these, nearly as good as a new RX 6600. Then there is the 5700XT as low as $125 and that beats a new $350 RTX3060! Great video!
Where?
@@rshuadfrancis4218 Ebay, I am looking at one for $50 no bids right now. A little patience and you can catch them that low. The ones listed over $100 get very little action.
The true low budget king is the GTX 970. Goes for around 50 Dollar used. I bought a new one a couple days ago for 30 dollar shipped. But if u want to spend a bit more, the RX 5600XT is and extremely good choice. I would love to see tests, cause a used GTX 1080 sometimes also goes for around 130 dollar used.
5500xt 8gb is only 100 bucks on Amazon it's another great budget option
@@jeffreygrindle6396 If new on warranty that is decent deal. I get myself last year Rx 5700 Reference for 150€ - sold my old Rx 470 4Gb 100€ = Upgrade cost me 50€ ]:) Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra 1080P avg 60 :)
This indeed seems to be true for especially ones holding on to socket 1366. RX 580 and later are incompatible with the AMI BIOS that Asus socket 1366 motherboards use. You would be lucky to get a Radeon R9 or a GeForce GTX 980, with legacy-BIOS.
This is a decent card that is just about on par with the Rtx 2060 regarding performance.
Both were good for 1440p gaming when they came out and still are, if you dont take into account those heavier modern titles.
The prices on this video are in my opinion cheap, since a new gtx 1650 is often more expensive.
I suggest you buy it if it is so much under 200.
Vega 56 is a great choice. A few on local market for 100USD. 8GB of vram is also a plus.
What I'm getting from the Cyberpunk benchmark is that you can set the frame limiter to 48 fps and get a solid framerate.
Twice cinematic, neither PAL nor NTSC
i run this GPU with a 5800X3D and GPU can definitely pull more in games like fortnite (i average 320-400fps 1080p competitive settings) and overclocking should be considered since these cards have decent amount of headroom in them if you wish to do a power play table mod to unlock more power and higher clocks where you should expect rx5700/5700xt performance
I'm running a sapphire rx 5600 xt too with rog b450e r5 3600 on pcie 3.0 but only work just pcie x8, do a couple of suggestion for running in x16 but not working, the diff from x8 to x16 on pcie 3 is not that to much right?
The card is so good, I still have it
nice video, seeing the performance in the witcher 3 I have a problem my rx 6700 xt in 1440p at high setting barely reaches 40 fps, which doesn't make sense, touching settings the screen space reflections option when set to high runs at about 40 FPS and the reflections look good almost like ray tracing, on low it runs at about 80 to 90 FPS. very rare.
Another great video!
what gpu should i get if i wanted to upgrade, to repleace my rx 5600xt ? I only game at 1080p
Had to get rx5600xt after this video. So found a mint clean one for 120eur - oh boys what a value, at least in my favourite game Warzone. 130fps with High textures, High antialiasing, FSR 2.1 Quality and rest effects are Low or Off. I mean.. I was almost spending 300eur to get match for 144hz monitor before discovering this gem. Now, I can buy holiday tickets for left over 180eur instead 😅😅
The Arc A770 16gb is the new "rx 580 8gb"
I bought a rx5700 when it came out for my htpc, I flashed the bios on it and it performed very close to a 5700xt.
The model on the thumbnail is that the one you used for your testing? I have learnt that model is available only in china.
For cyberpunk I've read the FSR mods help a lot for performance. The original FSR implementation ingame seems to suck donkey ballz. 🐴
Nice Test
I would spend $10/£10 more for the RX 5700 non-XT, which you can flash with an XT BIOS to get much better performance.
Or, if you can find one, the RX 6700 non-XT and the mobile RTX 2080 Super are great-value options as well, although the latter might require some messing around with the drivers.
Are you getting a Aliexpress RX5700xt or one of the RX6600M?
