We tested on an MSI X570 Godlike motherboard with the 7C34v17 UEFI, dated from November 2019, with AGESA 1.0.0.4. Given how close the Radeon RX 5600 XT is to the Radeon RX 5700, you might think AMD would be preparing to kill off the 5700. Now that AMD needs to create some meaningful product distinctions, however, we’re back down to 6GB from both companies. When AMD wanted to pump the value proposition of the Polaris family (RX 400, RX 500), we heard a great deal about the long-term benefits of an 8GB frame buffer as opposed to a 6GB buffer. On the other hand, AMD has previously gone after Nvidia for this kind of thing with the GTX 1060. There’s been some concern about the longevity of 6GB solutions considering we are on the cusp of another console generation, but the Nvidia solutions at this price point are equipped similarly. The sole advantage remaining to the higher-end card is its larger 8GB memory pool and wider 256-bit memory bus.
AMD hasn’t given us the base clock on the 5600 XT, but the game and boost clocks match or even slightly exceed the 5700’s.
