The RX 560XT is a Rebranded RX 470D which was a dumping ground for all the failed RX 470s that cannot even hit 2048SP, Polaris had quite a large bit of failure rate from manufacturing, which is why AMD made so many 2048SP RX 580s. The 1792SP RX 470D was initially meant for mining as the core didn't matter as much but memory bus does. But as mining died downed they rebranded it as the RX 560XT for gaming purposes, which explains the single HDMI output.
This GPU matches the RX6400, GTX 1650 and A380 in rasterization performance but, unlike the rest of those GPUs, the 560XT doesn't support DX12U. At least this one works with official drivers.
Interestingly, there are some RX 470D that can have all 2048sp enabled with a vbios flash, and there had been some words floating around saying the RX580 2048sp can be upgraded to 2304sp through a similar process. I have only tested the theory on a 2048sp RX580 myself with failure, but there is a lot more success stories for the RX 470D, and maybe for the RX 560XT as well. AMD don't do as good of a job at disabling shaders back then as they do now.
I remember buying RX 470D from china, I flashed RX 470 bios and managed to unlock rest of the cores. I was lucky since mine was rock stable for many years.
@@contadeusuario7806 I'm rocking a Maxsun H610 board rn and will definitly get an AM5 maxsun board. Half the price, bare minimum but worth it with vrms and what not. Pretty cool for budget gaming
To give you more info on this. It uses the same architecture as mining boards that the mining cards used. Example like the RX470D which was a mining variant. Thats why there is only 1 HDMI port. They essentially used a mining card and converted it to a gaming card (bios flash , ect.) Its actuaslly cost effective as then can buy these mining boards for cheap , do some modifications to the HDMI port (to make it work , soldering) and a bios reflash and done).
@@LucasCunhaRocha It's basically using a beefy cooler on a GPU that never needed it, if it used the standard cooler for this GPU you'd still barely see it hit over 65°
@@LucasCunhaRocha Yes. Most of these mining cards came without a fans because they were designed for passive cooling. Funny enough a model for such mining card is RX470D w/o fan. Therefore the cooler they put on there was made for passive cooling , now adding a fan and you have a very good cooled GPU.
@@haydn-db8z I hope you carefully placed it back down again. no bruising, please. TBH you could use it as is. Build a low cost banger box for gaming on single player games with this. Could be fun.
i just saw the sub count 529k.. ive been here since 13k....(on a different yt account i lost) great work dude, always loved your videos when i was in school.. that's a couple years back now tho XD
Ive had a couple of 580s from AliExpress and not had a problem with them at all however seeing this in white Im severely tempted. Great to see GPU packaging artwork hasnt completely died out. Thanks Steve, great video
At 1792 cores its closer to the 2048 cores of the RX 570 than to the 1024 cores (or even 876 of the cut down) RX 560. My RX 570 is only 4GB so I guess in current year this 560XT is better buy.
our store sells their GPUs regularly for 2 years now because our customers are cheap. so we only give em a few months warranty with these products and it's a win win situation so far. but mostly only their RTX 3060 12gb and RTX 2060 super
I had my hopes up that this would have been a WX5100 with a proper cooler. The WX5100 is the same 560XT chip, but with a 43w power limit, a single slot cooler and no 6 or 8-pin. They stutter when gaming unless you do a bios overclock to increase the ddr5 from 1250mhz to at least 1500mhz, and whilst you're there, raising the power limit to around 65w brings about 30+% better performance. It performs like an RX 6400, but without the 4GB bottleneck.
Amazing how most games still look quite good even on low/lowest settings - look at Cyberpunk. I remember an era when low settings meant a pixellated mess of an image where you could barely resolve detail, now it just strips a few layers of sheen off the textures and shadows etc. while still retaining the bulk of the graphic design.
idk why I find it funny when you turn it around slowly revealing the one hdmi in the corner, its like its screaming "THIS IS WHAT YOU PAID FOR", its just so in character for a chinese product
to be fair, I am using pc's for quite a long time now and I never used more than one VGA or DVI connector. Roughly one year ago I plugged in my first monitor via HDMI xD Dual monitor also wastes a lot of energy, In short I would be fine with one HDMI connector. ^^
The Funny thing is, I also happen to have a China/AliExpress - only AMD Radeon GPU, It's a Radeon R7 350 2GB D5 [Sapphire Nitro - branded, and it's Dual Fan, the shell looks like a modern graphics card, just like the RX 560XT in your hand but Silver/Gray] , the funny thing is about its SOLE existence being only in AliExpress, and R7 350 doesn't seem to exist anywhere else (other than AliExpress for the hardware and AMD's Website for Drivers ofc). Yeah, not even in Sapphire's Website. Thought it's a cool piece of GPU to have.
i just look at the name and was liked: Yeah GPU naming convention still all over the place. What will happen once we go higher, so we switch from R to S to Z, are we just going to add more numbers?
Judging by the Elden ring results (id say at high with less AA) these RX5xx series cards have aged amazingly well. Id reccomend any of these card at those prices to any budget buider
Not bad! And I managed to get Forza Horizon 4 as well on sale, due to it being removed from Steam sometime soon. You can get it on game key websites after removal, assuming the stockists have game keys left, but the price will go up and availability will be limited. It's a shame that these game developers remove games that they think people won't play anymore.
I bought a Soyo RX 580 2048sp and it died after about a day. Luckily, the person I sold it to lived close by so I was able to replace it with a different gpu for him, but still sucked to lose the $60. I haven’t bought any aliexpress GPUs since then. Great experience with Aliexpress CPUs, including my 7500F
Soyo sells reworked original sapphire / other brand cards recycled from mining. They have huge fail rate after using for gaming unless you apply huge undervolt underclock... with 580 is very hard to do so... every bios is 1200+
The unboxing footage looks like something you would see in a ransom video where the person being held against their will is forced to hold up cards with demands, lol. You did not look excited about that at all. Great video though, as always!
I recently paired a rx 580 8gb 2048sp i got from aliexpress for £50 with a 7500f for £100, upgrade-able and great for most things. i got a 1tb nvme gen 3x4 for £30 and 32gb of 6000mhz teamgroup expert ram for £70, after some testing im surprised its all legit for so cheap eventually i can upgrade but gpu prices are too overpriced lol.
Lol i bought one of these in 2021 for 65 euro for my sisters pc have to say it still works pretty ok she only plays sims and a few other non taxing games not a bad little card on a tight budget
Soyo used to be the OEM for HP until HP brought out the alienwear brand. I have an old HP Pavilion with the original Soyo 240 HD GPU it’s from early 2000. It was built for video editing.
The box design a la Nvidia is a little bit weird but the card design is nice! It reminds me of the XFX cards with those little dimples. I love XFX card design, I have an XFX 6750 XT myself
The box art did not make me think that a white card was going to pop out of that box. I thought I would be something with a Big Read Dragon plastered all over it.
My first PC was an AMD 450mhz K6 2 back in 1998. Reason I mention that is ti came with a Soyo motherboard. When I got around to replacing that PC I looked for a Soyo Motherboard to put in the new one and they just couldn't be found. I wasn't sure what happened to the company. They just faded away.
I see so many 580's locally for around 50 bucks. Some great models too,sapphire nitro for 60 right now. Id personally go that route but this doesn't seem bad at all if you have no local deals
i had a SOYO H610M motherboard, it has a VRM cooler on it that it looks overkill for an entry level board lol its been solid for almost 2 years aside from the moody memory compatibility, everything else runs smoothly. It even still has BIOS updates and is compatible with 14th gen intel.
I just got an RTX 3050 8GB model and to get up and running ASAP, I’m going with an i5 12400f and an $89 Gigabyte DDR5 H610 motherboard for $204 plus taxes on my next payday in 2 weeks.
Looks like Sapphire dumped their excess parts onto SOYO. The card seems to have the same cooler/backplate as rx 570 pulse, just painted white. There were also rx 470 mining cards with the same shroud using the rx 570 pulse pcb, but without the backplate. The mining cards also have just one output, but I've mostly seen DVI variants. Interesting card either way.
I feel like this is the same idea being used today, the Rx 7600(lowest tier flagship) comes with 8gbs of vram but gets boosted to 16gbs for the XT model. The Rx 560 also gets is vram capacity boosted for it's XT model🤔
I had a RX580 2048SP that was used in China for mining rigs, it was a modified RX570 with an overclock to 2048MHz, and had the same 8gb ram that the 580 got. Kinda sucked because it only had 3 outputs (2 hdmi, 1 DVI), I ended up getting a RX580 to replace it with 5 ports (2 HDMI, 1 DP, 1 DVI). I wish they still made 5 display gaming cards.
Really nice unique looking card and not many to be found in the wilderness, I would say it's a steel at £50 even just as one to keep for your collection
That is probably the first GC I've seen with just one HDMI output, such lack of ports in general is very rare from what I've seen. Guess it says something about the intended use for this model? Maybe a gaming cafe card?
Can I male a suggestion? On Steam sale there is Lossless scaling on sale, can you test that on an older system like the elden ring setup and see what it actually does? Like what does lossless scaling do on an rx 580 or what is it actually doing? Is the cpu making the frames or the gpu is getting extra frames? Questions...
I bought a Soyo Rx 6600m, for just 150 usd, flashed it to a normal rx 6600 to have full control.. it feels like the best f*cking upgrade I've done for my pc, considering the local rx 6600 is +240 usd, and the 3060 is +300 usd
Semi-OT: There seems to be a new hype in town, the window scaling and frame generation software "Lossless Scaling" which brings upscaling and frame generation to games which don't have it built in. Could you give it a try, maybe also with video playback?
hey man, loving you vids, i got a ryzen 5 2600 and rtx 4060(the 1 fan version seeing in your vids) 8gb vram, 16 gb of ram, but elden ring struggles to maintain 60 fps in some areas, do i need to upgrade the cpu? i was thinking of ryzen 7 5800X
The 4060 is only using 8 pcie gen 4 lane instead of full 16 like the 3060/2060. Your cpu is pcie 3. So it can only use 8 lane pcie gen 3 that what make it significant bottleneck.
It would be interesting if it was more or less an RX 570 that didn’t require a power connector. Cards that don’t use a power connector in that price range would be useful even if they were a little weak.
Your facial expression in this video makes me think of that middle eastern guy (i think) that would always smile at the camera while cooking a huge meal, who now frowns at the camera
I wonder which Aliexpress brands are the good ones if you want an AMD GPU. Some say Elsa or Soyo, but I see people saying that MLLSE and Maxsun are the best ones
I think your channel is pretty good. Id say two things take it or leave it. Have Fortza 5 right after 4 to show the difference in play ability if any. Use sunscreen and moisturizer if you are going to be on camera. Skin Cancer is no joke and having a skin routine will pay off later in life. Thanks for the vids
The original has 1 hdmi only for bracket holder doesn't work. Unless you apply copper wires to make bridges then it works... since original had 1 only... thus reworked has 1 only It's a sapphire miner quad uefi reworked into gamer
8:02 honestly i'd rather suggest to overclock this card to 1400Mhz gpu clock as in the majority of the games shown it hardly reaches even 55 Celsius ... Btw could u get and test the amd ryzen 5 3500 (X) cpu ?? It seems like its just a natural six core cpu that can only handle 6 threads at the same time, but it could lead to quite some confusion since there are other cpus with lower numbers but they offer 4 cores and 8 threads, it would be very interesting to see how such a pure 6 core cpu holds up nowadays in gaming, thank you!
i have recently buy a second hand , rarely used(Sappire rx 560 8 GB GDDR5 polaris 11,edit,less type) , some of the gamers said this is the low spec version of the rx 560 , but for my usage in linux and my previously never used a modern radeon card , beside vega 8 APU and ati 9400 AGP , this card of low spec RX 560 works very well on my linux mint xfce or debian edition , works way better my previously two nvidia GT 1030 GDDR5 as well too. Recommended to used this radeon or other more modern or powerful radeon card on linux kernal operating system (ubuntu , fedora, linux mint , debian and so on ;)
What's annoying is AMD have just stopped updating game drivers for the 5xx range and only cover security and essential stuff in future updates. My 580 SP still gives me decent performance like 200fps in raid form on World of Warcraft and that's with everything maxed too, get a decent 60 in Diablo 4 everything maxed so still holding up well, FH5 looks gawjus and Lord of the Rings:Online/Return to Moria and Gollum also hugely good performance.

True. It is also comparable in GPU power to PS4 GPU . So basically games that run well on PS4 (like GTA V) will run well on this too.
@@aleksazunjic9672 PS4 is around gtx750ti / rx460.... PS4 Pro is a around rx570 / 580. This GPU is probably close to twice of PS4 gpu.

I had a RX580 2048SP that was used in China for mining rigs, it was a modified RX570 with an overclock to 2048MHz, and had the same 8gb ram that the 580 got. Kinda sucked because it only had 3 outputs (2 hdmi, 1 DVI), I ended up getting a RX580 to replace it with 5 ports (2 HDMI, 1 DP, 1 DVI). I wish they still made 5 display gaming cards.
Really nice unique looking card and not many to be found in the wilderness, I would say it's a steel at £50 even just as one to keep for your collection
That is probably the first GC I've seen with just one HDMI output, such lack of ports in general is very rare from what I've seen. Guess it says something about the intended use for this model? Maybe a gaming cafe card?
apparently it was a rebranded RX 470D that was initially designed for mining, which explains the single output.
Can I male a suggestion? On Steam sale there is Lossless scaling on sale, can you test that on an older system like the elden ring setup and see what it actually does? Like what does lossless scaling do on an rx 580 or what is it actually doing? Is the cpu making the frames or the gpu is getting extra frames? Questions...
Nice of you to help everyone in csgo 2 on their K/D ratio.
I bought a Soyo Rx 6600m, for just 150 usd, flashed it to a normal rx 6600 to have full control.. it feels like the best f*cking upgrade I've done for my pc, considering the local rx 6600 is +240 usd, and the 3060 is +300 usd
One HDMi and no DisplayPort? Grim.
Yeah a strange choice
Particularly if you wanted to do some Linuxing.
Yeah, could have at least done daisy chaning with one DP.
I kept thinking how SOL it would be if that one HDMI port dies at some point. Do think the 580 or Linux could give this a second life though.
It was probably meant for Internet cafes so makes sense that it only needed that one port
I love the vanilla Sapphire shroud haha
Semi-OT: There seems to be a new hype in town, the window scaling and frame generation software "Lossless Scaling" which brings upscaling and frame generation to games which don't have it built in. Could you give it a try, maybe also with video playback?
Seems like it wasn't using more than 4GB vram most of the time. Good review as always
hey man, loving you vids, i got a ryzen 5 2600 and rtx 4060(the 1 fan version seeing in your vids) 8gb vram, 16 gb of ram, but elden ring struggles to maintain 60 fps in some areas, do i need to upgrade the cpu? i was thinking of ryzen 7 5800X
Your bottleneck is definitely the CPU - try to find a 5700X or 5700X3D if you can.
The 4060 is only using 8 pcie gen 4 lane instead of full 16 like the 3060/2060. Your cpu is pcie 3. So it can only use 8 lane pcie gen 3 that what make it significant bottleneck.
It would be interesting if it was more or less an RX 570 that didn’t require a power connector.
Cards that don’t use a power connector in that price range would be useful even if they were a little weak.
Your facial expression in this video makes me think of that middle eastern guy (i think) that would always smile at the camera while cooking a huge meal, who now frowns at the camera
Maybe intended for gaming cafés in China
Yeah good point
This brand is more reliable than Aisurix
Never seen this fast to see video before. 1HDMI only?
Scooch over, I wanna see this too
@@tzr5864 here, have a seat. Want some popcorn too?
more chinese oddities please :-)
I wonder which Aliexpress brands are the good ones if you want an AMD GPU. Some say Elsa or Soyo, but I see people saying that MLLSE and Maxsun are the best ones
I think your channel is pretty good. Id say two things take it or leave it. Have Fortza 5 right after 4 to show the difference in play ability if any. Use sunscreen and moisturizer if you are going to be on camera. Skin Cancer is no joke and having a skin routine will pay off later in life. Thanks for the vids
sapphire shroud ? probably had plenty left and bought them
one HDMI port is weird
The original has 1 hdmi only for bracket holder doesn't work. Unless you apply copper wires to make bridges then it works... since original had 1 only... thus reworked has 1 only
It's a sapphire miner quad uefi reworked into gamer
8:02 honestly i'd rather suggest to overclock this card to 1400Mhz gpu clock as in the majority of the games shown it hardly reaches even 55 Celsius ...
Btw could u get and test the amd ryzen 5 3500 (X) cpu ?? It seems like its just a natural six core cpu that can only handle 6 threads at the same time, but it could lead to quite some confusion since there are other cpus with lower numbers but they offer 4 cores and 8 threads, it would be very interesting to see how such a pure 6 core cpu holds up nowadays in gaming, thank you!
That single HDMI port and way more VRAM it would normally be shipped with ... dunno, it gives me the mining vibe.
i have recently buy a second hand , rarely used(Sappire rx 560 8 GB GDDR5 polaris 11,edit,less type) , some of the gamers said this is the low spec version of the rx 560 , but for my usage in linux and my previously never used a modern radeon card , beside vega 8 APU and ati 9400 AGP , this card of low spec RX 560 works very well on my linux mint xfce or debian edition , works way better my previously two nvidia GT 1030 GDDR5 as well too. Recommended to used this radeon or other more modern or powerful radeon card on linux kernal operating system (ubuntu , fedora, linux mint , debian and so on ;)
Thats a lot faster than the 560 quite impressive really
worth the money
4:38 should try doin competitive cs2 look very pro at cs2

What's annoying is AMD have just stopped updating game drivers for the 5xx range and only cover security and essential stuff in future updates. My 580 SP still gives me decent performance like 200fps in raid form on World of Warcraft and that's with everything maxed too, get a decent 60 in Diablo 4 everything maxed so still holding up well, FH5 looks gawjus and Lord of the Rings:Online/Return to Moria and Gollum also hugely good performance.
