Outdated Product
Mid-range gaming graphics card based on Navi 10 XLE (7nm) GPU with AMD RDNA architecture and PCI-E 4.0 x16 interface slot. It is equipped with a significant amount of high-performance graphics memory (6 GB GDDR6), factory overclocked GPU and uses a powerful WindForce 2X cooling system that occupies two expansion slots. The manufacturer is positioned as a product of the middle price category, designed to complete a balanced gaming or universal home personal computers. The integrated gaming performance of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT WINDFORCE OC 6G graphics card is quite enough for a comfortable game in all popular games of 2015-2020 in FullHD resolution at high or maximum graphics settings. In terms of performance, this video adapter significantly exceeds the GeForce GTX 1660/1660 Ti car...ds, and in some cases approaches the GeForce RTX 2060. The advantages of this model include a dual-fan heat pipe cooling system that dissipates up to 150 watts of generated heat quickly and quietly . At low load on the GPU and at idle, proprietary 3D Active Fan technology stops both fans, providing a completely silent passive mode. The card is equipped with four digital interface ports (one HDMI and three Display Ports) and supports the connection of VR headsets.

"Middle-brother"

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a kind of "middle brother" in the Navi family. Unlike the younger brother (we are talking about the RX 5500 XT) based on the Navi 14 chip, this one looks structurally and technically more relaxed and modern. The Navi 10 core is used as the basis, and its number of stream processors, render units and texture units has grown by almost one and a half times. In fact, this is the older RX 5700 XT, which had its wings slightly clipped so as not to fly close to the sun.

6 GB VRAM instead of 8 GB

The problem is that someone not too smart cut it and, together with the memory bus, cut the amount of the card as well — instead of 8 GB, it turned out to be 6 GB. By itself, this figure looks quite adequate. And you probably heard more than once the opinion that the influence of video memory on FPS is overestimated. But this applies primarily to Full HD resolution. When it comes to 2K or 4K gaming, which $500 cards are designed for, more video memory is needed. At least 6 GB, but 8 GB is better, because the requirements are growing day by day. If there is not enough memory, then the missing part will get from the slower system-wide DDR4 RAM. And this promises unexpected drawdowns and freezes, although the total FPS counter will look quite adequate.

Favorable price-performance ratio

But to the credit of Radeon and the manufacturing companies, they quickly tightened the prices so as not to go into the heavy weight category for the eight-gig RTX 2060 SUPER. Among all the variants of the RX 5600 XT available for sale, one of the most interesting is the version from Gigabyte with the well-proven triple Windforce cooler (there is a passive mode), a slight factory overclocking of the core and an improved element base. In stock mode, it confidently cracks down on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER from the same Gigabyte, with a slight overclocking it almost catches up with the RTX 2060 SUPER. In both cases, the FPS gap is roughly equal to the price difference, so the only question is, will 6 GB meet your requirements? After all, the rest of Gigabyte did their best and its requested amount of 350-plus dollars looks more than justified.
