Built my system about a month ago now, I went for the sapphire pulse 5600xt. I have had my share of black screens and such but after much internet hunting, I found that the latest at the time drivers 20.4.2 ( I think) was causing a few more "crashes" So.. a quick ddu and then down to the previous drivers and the crashes stopped. Updated to 20.5.1 when that dropped and zero crashes, so it certainly seemed to be a specific version causing issues. I would still recommend the card. It's just that good!

Are you talking about POWERCOLOR dual fan? If so, how is she to you. Did the BIOS update? And how are the temperatures and noise?

[@Miggy290]

WARNING Anybody watching this -- DO NOT BUY the Gigabyte 5600 XT Gaming OC. The reason why it has such bad reviews on Newegg is because Newegg is shipping out the Rev. 1.0 model, which is NOT capable of handling the 14gbs bios. The reason why everyone is complaining about the card suffering from black screens and crashes is because, if you flash the bios to apply the 14gbs update, it will become wildly unstable and crash during use, unless you just get lucky and get a good card capable of handling the overclock. Gigabyte even recognizes this -- after I received the card I checked their website for the 14gbs bios, and they've removed it from the card's support page -- the only bios that is now available is an "updated" one with default clock and bandwidth speeds and a more aggressive fan curve. It runs okay with this bios, but it is much slower than other 5600 XTs running with the 14gbs bios. I learned all of this the hard way after ordering the card couple weeks ago after watching your original 5600 XT roundup and having to RMA it due to its instability, even after reflashing to the original bios and applying an incredibly modest overclock to try and claw back some of the performance of the 14gbs bios. I exchanged the card for the Sapphire Pulse, which I've just installed today and is running flawlessly -- it had the 14gbs bios already installed, and even with the new bios it runs cooler and quieter than the default Gaming OC. Tldr; Do NOT buy the Gaming OC from Newegg, get the Sapphire Pulse instead.

[@georgemorley1029]

I have the gigabyte rx5700xt gaming oc, have had absolutely no problems with it since day one, bought it more than nine months ago now. Just like Steve, it’s been a champ for me and no worries at all! Perhaps it is notable that I decided myself to apply aftermarket thermal pads and thermal paste to the card in an attempt to squeeze extra thermal headroom out of it? This was not from a desire to gain more performance, which was already fine, but in order to reduce strain on fans at full load and improve the quality of life long term and decrease the already low noise from the graphics card even further. Although way quieter than my previous vega 56 Strix (dreadful card!) I have a dislike of any perceptible noise when my computer is running as I have good hearing and can detect minor noises easily. It is now essentially silent when running games like KCD and newer Total Wars (Warhammer 2, 3 Kingdoms etc). The only noise comes from my noctua cooler and only when the fans kick in to start, otherwise it’s just not perceptible. I wonder how many people have problems with gigabyte cards in stock config versus user modified/enhanced configs? I would have to take my card back to stock to know if anything was untoward I suppose. I never had any struggles with in any event, certainly nothing driver related either. Genuinely sorry for people having issues, I would like to try sapphire for my next card, as I’ve have had them in the past and they were really solid.

I don't want to spoil anyone's experience here because I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I've personally had 3 Sapphire cards in my life and all 3 of them failed, the longest one lived for is a bit over 1 year. That was my first one, a HD 7850 back in the day. After that I bought a Strix GTX 970 in late 2014 which is still working in another PC. For myself, I originally upgraded to a Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 580 in late 2018, but shortly after it started bluescreening and crashing. I returned it, bought a Nitro+ Rx 590 just weeks later, and that also caused lots of bluescreens before it eventually failed completely. Worth noting, I was able to isolate the issue both times because at the time I still had the 970 to test with, and it was still working flawlessly. Eventually I bought a Strix Vega 56 from Asus, and it has been working perfectly fine for well over a year now. So I won't buy any more Sapphire cards for the time being, but I might try another one in the future.

Steve if you have the time and energy to look into this, I have a possible culprit for the black screen issues that have plagued Navi GPUs since launch. I think it could be related to unstable RAM OC. Dropping my RAM from 2933 to 2666 MHz was the only reliable solution after trying multiple drivers and other tweaks on my Gigabyte Gaming OC 5700 XT. That and the latest drivers since the 20.2.2 release. Maybe if you push RAM frequency and timings (especially on older 1st gen Ryzen CPUs with weak memory control on B350 boards) you can reproduce the issue.

I had the Gigabyte 5600 XT Gaming OC... Took on average 4 attempts to boot up the system. Black screens and hard locks on start-up. Once in Windows there was never an issue. That was until I tried the higher performance bios. This would just kick me out of games constantly. So I went with the 5600 XT because it was a great value option with the new bios with performance close to the RTX 2060... But I couldn't get that bios to work. So I went back to the stock version... So with it being lower performance and a pain in the arse to boot the system up, it wasn't a very good value card. Was returned and I spent £30 more and got a RTX 2060. I'm sad I had to return it, but it just wan't a good experience.

Just bought a Saphire 5600 xt (6/6/20) from Newegg for $289, I want to limit my spending awaiting on what AMD will do in the Fall with the big Navi, my RX 580 Now 3 years old and way outdated now that I got my new monitor (Asus VG27WQ)

[@gregw515151]

I have the gaming oc and had blacksrceen issues at first but that was before updating to the newest driver. After that it's been great no more black screen

[@jameslewis2635]

Sapphire always seems to be a good shout for AMD graphics cards. One more roundup award I would like to see in these videos, especially for items that include fans, is 'Quietest running' as for many having a low noise system is important, especially if they also use their systems for things like recording musical instruments.

[@everope]

I would love this addition as well, although it was already covered in the previous 5600XT roundup with graphs.

[@valcomaustralia]

Thanks for making my pick easier 😁 Pulse it is, cheers mate

[@istuff1113]

I just got my 5600xt today and suffered major black screen. To fix this reinstall the driver and make sure when prompted with different modes such as gaming, esports etc during installation that you choose the standard mode. Hope this helps.

[@makwikus]

Gigabyte Gaming OC is genuinely the best bang for buck variant out there for any GPU. I've been using them for years and they never failed me. Cool, quiet, never overpriced like some others and minimal RGB.

[@mohdfaizal6773]

Oh, great info here.🎉😉 U fellas are great penny wise rewiewers. From down under. 😋👍 Now, released the fresh rdna2 cards pls. 😅👌

[@erikminter2847]

Forgot to mention that in addition to being clocked lower, the RX 5700 also has 4 less compute units than the RX 5700 XT. Great video as always!!

[@deion1564]

I was considering buying the XFX THICC II but decided against it and got the Sapphire Pulse, glad I dodged that bullet

[@darkside924]

Got an MSI Gaming X for 310 euros a few weeks before this video when I watched Hardware Unboxed video roundup of 5600 xt's, now the priced skyrocketed to 380 euros, felt super lucky getting the best card possible since the cheapest 5700 was 355 euros while this was as I have mentioned 310 euros x))

[@jonesdan85]

Picked my Sapphire Pulse up for £260 in the UK brand new very happy with it currently

[@jackshayler8895]

Where ?

[@jonesdan85]

Scan in Bolton. You can ask for delivery but I'm lucky to live 10 mins away from the place.

[@jonesdan85]

Just looking at the price it's has gone up to 299 on their website. I picked it up at the right time just as this pandemic hit.

[@R0B711]

The Gigabyte Gaming OC and Windforce models most of the times look nearly identical. To see those big differences in performance is surprising for me. I never thought there would be so much difference across the board.

IN MY FKING COUNTRY ITS 3000₺ BRUHHH

[@bobalazsgaming]

Heads up. I use morepowertools to set a temp target of 62 instead of the usual 78 without modifying the fan curve with msi afterburner for example.

[@lukasreineborg]

Here where I live 5600xt are about $400. And 5700xt is closer to $500. I managed to get the 5600xt gaming oc for only $330 which was a really good deal here

[@ax1236]

Nice video, im sub and leave a like

[@sebastiangonzalez9992]

XFX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 14Gbps THICC III Pro = 36.250$; Asrock 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 Phantom Gaming D3 OC = 34.500$; ASUS 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 OC TUF EVO GAMING = 37.500$ -- Which one should I get? (sapphire version = 42.125$)

[@heckinbonk2269]

Found an XFX THICC PRO II for under $250, the guy says his cases fans are louder and the card ran under 80c in racing and below 50c ideal, should I pick up the card?

[@s2korpionic]

Doubt

[@KonradGM]

Hey hardware unboxed i have an idea for a video that i think might help a lot of people who have issues with thier radeons black screening etc, one of the reasons i believe some people are experiencing issues compared to others is the utility software drivers that comes with gpu [Aorus engine, gigabyte/dragon app, gdrv2 etc) would be interesting if you could test if those software would cause instability in the system [i've know people who had system instabilities by just having ryzen master installed in the systems due to drivers on kernel 0 ]

[@trunkssjin4]

XFX is a great card. I’m not sure why you had temp problems but I can assure you it is not an issue

[@CSR2_VTEC]

ASRock 5600XT Phantom D2 OC any good? Or worst 5600XT card?

[@mazda3guy]

As an owner of a Gigabyte Gaming OC for the last month, I can confirm it's been a brutal experience. I've tried every Driver released in 2020, used DDU every time. Still get black screen on boot. No issues in games though. It's odd, and infuriating.

[@moebius2k103]

Before Windows loads? Change your PCIe slot to 3.0 instead of 4.0 in the BIOS, if you have an X570 motherboard that is. My 5700 XT would produce no signal on warm boots (restart/reset) and that’s what I did to fix it. There is no performance impact.

[@mazda3guy]

@@moebius2k103 thanks for the suggestion, but yeah I'd seen that before, however I have an older LGA 1150 mobo from MSI (CPU is a i7-4790K). I've also updated my mobo BIOS, didn't have much impact other than perhaps being why I no longer have black screen on Wake from sleep that I had at first. Now it legitimately only happens on cold boots. Restarts are fine, and wake ups are fine.

[@Tolard49]

I had 2 5700XT, 2 5700 and the 5600XT Pulse: the last one has been my best purchase.

[@MrSohara89]

I just bought the MSI Gaming X as it was only £280 (£20 more than the red dragon and £20 less than the sapphire pulse). Doesn't seem to be as much of an upgrade as I expected from my RX 580 red devil. But perhaps that's because I'm still on a i7 4790

[@venomtailOG]

The XFX THICC 3 Ultra is often around the same price as the Sapphire one. Sometimes even cheaper. Worth it?

[@revelationvideoproductions1168]

What can I do with total lack of all GPU should I wait on my list with EVGA for 3070? These cards 5600 seem to be around $400 or more

[@franzpleurmann2585]

Does the Powercolor RX5600XT ITX have a zero fan mode? So does the fans of the card stand still on idle?
