I bought an RX 5600XT and it's actually still pretty awesome for 1080p.

You don’t seem to see many of these around, mainly because they are over shadowed by their bigger sibling the RX 5700XT and Nvidia 20 series but the Radeon RX 5600XT does exist and it is the ultimate when it comes to 1080p gaming.

A pretty underrated card from AMD this one. I want to take a look at one soon too. Great video as always mate!

[@TechLabUK]

Tis a great card, performed way better than expected and could game all day on it.

[@mesicek7]

It's not underrated if you remember at the time some aib vendors were shipping the cards with old bios which made the cards perform worse than others. The whole fiasco made these cards a no buy.

[@bhootpurvmanusya]

it sucks cuz there is no official software support for deep learning projects no one denies its way better for gamming but gamers who can pay(most middle aged cod gamers type) want to tweak with ai along with gaming this card doesnt offer that nvidia's cuda support all its card.

[@TheVanillatech]

@@mesicek7 Wasn't a "fiasco" was it? Only the first 10,000 or so cards were affected, it was corrected a WEEK after launch, and every vendor put out a BIOS flash for their older models on their respective websites, giving a free 7-10% performance boost. Every reviewer on KZbin, from GamersNexus to HardwareUnboxed, showed how amazing the card was in it's class. Costing 30% less than a 2060 yet being only 15% slower, and it destroyed Nvidias 1660 series at the same price point. 2060 was a dud anyways! £350 for a 2060 or £350 for a 5700XT? The AMD card destroyed the Nvidia card. People who know, make the right decisions, and enjoyed FAR higher framerates for the same money by going 5700XT over 2060 and 5600XT over 1660. Simple as. For people who DON'T know, there's Nvidia.

[@mesicek7]

@@TheVanillatech It was so bad that HUB didn't recommend the cards if i remember correctly.

[@bodasactra]

I have one and its been great, no issues at all. The features are really good, like the very overlooked Super Resolution where you can run your system in 4K and it scales it down to fit a 1080p monitor. It takes my 1080p monitor to another level with videos and games. Hardware Unboxed testing showed it 3-5% faster than the 2060. With FSR3 and frame generation coming soon and these cards selling under $100 used, its the best used GPU you can get right now.

[@Katan4v]

I built my first PC with this card. Got it used for $120 in my country which at the time back in April 2023 was in the same price as 5500xt but that does not perform anywhere near as this. No issues since I got it.

I remember reviewing the 5700xt recently and I loved it. It had some issues where it ran hot, but after repasting it I never had an issue. RDNA 1 is under appreciated, but at the same time I get why it was kind of glossed over at the time…

[@Averagedude-mi3fl]

Really not a bad card. Picked up one of these cards for about 85 bucks a month or 2 ago. So pretty much for a song. Was actually playing spider man remastered on it at 1440p with fsr 2.1 balanced I think. Rest of the pc is a ryzen 5 5500 32gb 3200 ram. I know the card may not really be made for that but can’t complain. For 1080p should be pretty decent and hold you over for a bit.

I’ve also got a 5600xt and it runs well at 1440p but great at 1080p

Went from RX 560 to this. It was only right to go for the 5600xt for some reason.(I have the exact same model too-Mech OC MSI RX 5600XT) Maybe my last upgrade to my i7 4th gen Dell Optiplex 3020 MT. Just seems like the perfect bottleneck if there even is any.

[@kurtlugay8195]

I encountered several issues with the MSI 5600XT Mech OC. The primary concern was the out-of-the-box junction temperature and hotspot, which reached up to 110°C due to a factory fault. This was caused by thermal pads not covering the entire memory and being too thick, resulting in the processor not being properly seated on the heatsink. Another issue was with the drivers on windows 11. The recent driver updates caused my screen to freeze while watching KZbin (I have premium and do not use adblocker), although I didn't encounter any problems during long hours of gaming. It's been quite a headache for me to frequently resort to hard shutdowns for my PC.

[@humzashaikh2002]

i have same issue with rx 5600xt msi mech oc

[@kurtlugay8195]

@@humzashaikh2002 To resolve this issue, I replaced the thermal pads and added a thin copper sheet on the GPU. The GPU was not sitting properly on the heatsink, even with the correct thickness of the thermal pads. Now, the Junction temperature is sitting on 88c-90c max during very long hours of playtime and I'm living in a tropical country. As for the windows 11 driver issue, I just rolled back to 23.8.2.

No, it really isn't pretty awesome moving forward. No mesh shader support and not enough VRAM. The lack of mesh shader support is still a small issue however the VRAM is absolutely a problem with newer titles, even at 1080p. Slower 8gb cards are holding up better.

You should be able to buy these for around £100 if you search around. Not much better out there for this kind of money tbh unless you can score a gtx 1070 or 1080 for the same price. This will do all those things you mention but obviously slower than some of the mire modern high end alternatives.

[@rodrigomendes3327]

Thanks for putting in the effort for this review, but I gotta say: worst VGA that I had in life. By far, really really really far. Me and two friends bought this in early 2020. We got the updated version (but the update AMD provided was basically just an overclock). We experienced a lot of random crashes, driver issues where they wouldn't respond, and problematic performance with a lot of stuttering in DX11 games. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Usually, you can find it at the price of a used RTX 2060, which has DLSS and produces a LOT more frames. Stay away from this card. The AMD 5000 series was terrible! Now I have a 3070TI and god.. And i'm not even talking about performance. I'm talking about being able to play every game without any issue.

[@TechLabUK]

RDNA at launch had terrible drivers I have heard and a lot of people got the same with all of them. Much better now though, their whole driver suite has gone through a lot of rework and are often more stable than Nvidia's in some cases. Worth being aware of though 👍

Sh**ty card get the 2060 6gb its has a better softwer

[@TheVanillatech]

Firstly, the 5600XT wasn't competing with the 2060. The RTX 2060 cost £350 on release, the 5600XT cost just £260. The 5600XT competed with the 1660Ti (at £270) and the 1660S (at £250). And the AMD card beat them both, comfortably. Everyone knows that. There are hundreds of benchmark videos here on KZbin. The RTX 2060 competed with the RX 5700XT. Both cost the same. But the Radeon card DESTROYED the 2060 by some 30% margin on average.

[@60CAL]

@@60CAL Yeah no shit Sherlock! It's been HALF A DECADE since they were released, even longer for the RTX2060. GPU's depreciate. Especially mediocre ones, that were originally MASSIVELY overpriced, like the 2060. Remember it cost the same as the 5700XT but was 30% slower, right? Your orignal comment was that the RX5600XT sucked, don't backpeddle just cos I put you straight. 5600XT was the top performer in it's class by a BIG margin, destroying the 1660 series as I said, and matching the far more expensive 2060 in some titles such as Doom Eternal. OK then ;)
