I didn't know the 5600XT was so good. 120 dollars cheaper for only a 5-6% reduction in frame rate. At that price range that's a very solid win for the 5600XT to me.
I dismissed the 5600XT after the initial reviews until I later spent some time looking at HUB's performance for price graphs. Same as the GTX 1080 for $280 and was noticeably faster than the 1660 Super (a great value card) for only $40 more. Got one late last summer for MSRP which ended up being a great tech purchase.
This video is literally the first time I've *ever* seen the opinion expressed that these two cards were somehow meant to be direct competitors to each other. I find it quite confusing.
@@timothygibney159 You make it sound like HUB themselves ever put out a review in 2020 that painted the 5600 XT as some sort of clearly better alternative to the 2060 Super specifically. The certainly didn't, because again they didn't cost nearly the same in real life and generally weren't ever compared by real people at large. Don't forget that the 5600 XT was launched in January 2020, also, while there were no Turing cards released any later than various points in 2019. The 5600 XT is almost a full year newer than the GTX 1660 Ti, for example.
Let's not even mention the fact that nvidia aided a lot on unreal engine 4 development and for some reason AMD cards get 10 fps less in games of that engine, even when in properly optimized games they either get the same or higher performance. The only corporation that does this at plain view yet they have fanboys that follow them.(Nvidia) Amazing.
2060S has DLSS + good RTX implementation, and pricing depends per country basis. In my country, you can't get either of those new, but their price in used market is not that far from each other as MSRP make it look like.
@@Purjo92 DLSS is good, but not in enough games to account for such a massive price difference (and I'm going by launch MSRP, not some other anomalous currency to which you're alluding). As for Ray Tracing, that's a joke on any of the 2060 series. It can barely handle the standard rasterization tests above 1080p, even without adding a high tech lighting systems. Turning on Ray Tracing at 1080p means you loose any chance of using high quality textures and LOD.
And I also remember buying movie tickets for less than 2 bucks. But yeh, prices have hiked way too much for the short amount of time that has passed, even if technology has improved tenfold. What I am really worried is that we only have two companies at this (soon to be three, with Intel, but they have a shit track record regarding pricing), and both of them are walking away from low end\mid performance GPUs, and making\forcing people to choose integrated graphics CPU's for low budget builds. And companies cant even claim that the costs have increased, so they have to raise prices, as their earning reports are public, and it is obvious they're making bank every quarter.
Stoked that I got my Sapphire 5600XT Pulse OC last October 2020 at SRP when the closest RTX2060S had at least a $100 more price difference. Since the game I play nowadays are not too demanding, IMHO it is also capable 1440p card.
Hell, if they games you play aren't that demanding a 5500xt does pretty good at 1440 as well. If I were only concerned with gaming Id get a 6700 and be done with it but for the other stuff I do an nvidia card is the better option.
@@darinsteele7091 I had a Vega 64 and now I have a 5700XT, and it is a joy to play at 2160x1080, the only game I can't play at high graphics and 75fps is Cyberpunk
i had planned to upgrade from my 940mx and build a desktop once ampere released now here i am, looking at old, used, broken gpu's being sold above msrp and wondering if i could make it work...
I like that you guys hesitate to call your viewers fanboys ....even when there always are some. There are some UA-camrs who jump straight to those accusations and the slightest whiff of criticism. I personally love your COST comparison approach to reviewing, because it is always relevant, but especially so in recent times.
"Name calling is dumb" ;) I joke about that, but it really is true. Any UA-cam that can avoid obvious baiting to call people names, wins points for style and wit. They were not gonna be led into the deep then embarrassed, too busy making this awesome channel!
Well, all reputable reviewers I watch have been called Nvidia\AMD shills depending on the results of their review. Most of them have grown thick enough skin not to care and see past the bullshit. As a tangent, it still blows my mind people willing to die on multibillion dollar companies hill that do not care about them. They're consumers, but rather act like this is a sport and they're rooting for their team to win.
Well said. With the total chaos of graphics card prices, I think there should be a numeral estimate for performance. Then you could see the prices and calculate estimated price to performance. I think AMD has amazing cards finally but they are ruining the good will with these Nvidia prices. They might be selling but I'm seeing a vast amount of AMD cards available (at horrible prices) compared to no or small amounts of Nvidia cards (at stupid prices).
@@FloatingOfficial yeah lol, 5600xt was literally better in $/performance than current AMD 6700xt and 6600xt (i take the market price for each card not MSRP)
Most people tend to forget that the 5600 XT is a significant gpu and does make a dent in the market and is pretty underrated. In other countries, it's not only significantly cheaper than the 2060 and its equivalents, it is a cut down 5700 so the capabilities are still there and the BIOS upgrade makes it one hell of a midrange card.
Honestly a normal 2060 is a better buy than a 5600 XT based on just the fact that it has better features and reliable drivers. Plus not all 5600XTs are the same die to amd playing themselves.
@@Angel7black naah the 2060 base models are just scam like how the 1060 was Nvidia is also a scammer when it comes to their own GPU Super could have been the base cards but nope let's make it a Super so we can sell it to suckers
I'm so tired of this shortage. 1/2 years ago i was hesitant to buy a 5700xt for 300 and i waited for it to drop (lmao). Now that i have money and i could buy a 5800xt for msrp i need to keep playing with my rx570.
Same with me, these cards are both over £500 at the moment here in the UK, £500 for a very average graphics card is silly money. Things have gone crazy,
chip shortage is just a myth, nvidia and amd have been directly selling gpus to big mining farms shame on nvidia and amd, decades they have been living by selling gpus to gamers, now they are priotizing miners
@@saputrasaputra3347 lol so all the other industries affected by the shortage are in on this great conspiracy so miner can buy graphics cards? Get the fuck outta here dude, why don't you do some actual research and get your facts straight instead of watching these brain dead UA-camrs who have been pushing that dumb ass narrative.
I know it's meant for 1080p, but I use It for a 100hz 3440x 1440 ultra wide and it runs every game I play well, so I'm kinda confused why people are still calling the upcoming 6600xt a 1080p card when it's clearly capable of more
@@RafitoOoO that's probably AMD's way of saying "it's not a 3060ti" but I'm pretty sure the 6600xt is going to smoke the bitchass 3060 easy. I mean the 3060 barely beats the 2060super.
@@maxwellb.2364 It really depends what kinda eye candy you're trying to run. 1080p on ultra will need a 6600XT to stay above 60fps on everything while 1440p on all low will only take an RX 5500 XT to do 60fps for most games.
They were never overpriced it just didn't have ray tracing when ray tracing wasn't even relevant so people assumed it was the worse card when in raw performance it was the same thing
Yeh! They Kick Ass Cards! I got a Sap.5600xt an a Sap.5700xt. So Nice even Today 2021. Blitz all AAA titles Good ! Both paired with Old gen AMD Ryz 3600 .in both rigs.

@@musek5048 Yeah,I know the feeling! I dont feel outclassed with either of these cards in their respective rigs. for my gaming. Best Bang for $$$ then an Still Are near 2 Yr Later. Sorry for all the Guys n Gals Gaming that never had the chance then for low $$$ to get one these. Oh! Oh! thats the times now? Cheers! n enjoy!
Yeah, sapphire has been nailing the Pulse line since Vega. My Vega 56 Pulse had amazing temperatures and the “pass through” cooling due to the short PCB. An advantage from HBM. And on RDNA lines they seem to have kept some of the best cooling on the market without a steep price increase over MSRP with the pulse line. But if overclocking is your thing, consider the Nitro or even other brands.
either you stack them up price for price or for similar performance, and since the 2060s and 5700xt were the same MSRP I think it was a fair comparison, like 5600xt vs 2060/s or 5700xt vs 2070s
@@alphapt9370 it's not hard to determine through the previous benchmarks if two cards are within a couple percentage points of each other or completely misaligned. Of course there's no comparison between a 3090 and a 5600xt, but that was pretty easy to figure out even without these benchmarks
@@Icetea-2000 i agree, but dudes with 5700 flashed to 5700xt bios are bosses rn...i have rx5700 but not too confident to do the move but i know countless ppl who have done it but i didnt cuz i dont need to anyways
AMD has a history of ekeing surprising amounts of performance out of their cards over the lifetime of the card, via driver optimizations. They call it their FineWine technology, and sometimes, like here, it does indeed appear to work.
I'm interested in seeing that BIOStar RX 6600 XT review. I've only sparingly seen that manufacture through the decades. I think I once had one of their Socket A or 939 motherboards before I switched to MSI. Also please do a Cost Per Frame chart. I know the GPUs aren't being sold at MSRP thanks to AIB/reseller greed, but it would be interesting to see where the 6600 XT will sit at.
Since a graphics card has stricter rules of design and is very limited in BIOS tweaking, there is a better chance that Biostar don't suck with this product than with motherboards.
@@PainterVierax It'll be mostly cooling and VRM performance we'll have to keep an eye on, apart from build quality which is more of a long term observation with current tech.
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 Sure but we still have at least enough AIB on each part to avoid oligopolies. What is more concerning for a sane competition is the drastic reduction of bleeding edge semiconductor foundries and designers of x86CPU, dGPU, HDD, RAM/FlashNAND.
I own an RX 5600 XT, because I was planning to buy an RTX 3070, but unsurprisingly wasn’t able to get my hands on one. I didn’t have any other option, so I had to go with something, and the 5600 XT seemed to be the only card available at the time (Nov 2020). Still been wanting to upgrade, but this video kinda showed that this card is actually pretty great. Was able to squeeze out a generous overclock as well (~1770MHz GPU, 1800MHz VRAM)
I'm an Nvidia 3080 owner and I have this to say: 5700XT was 100$ cheaper than 2060S (real market price in my region, in Aug 2019) while also being slightly faster. Considering nowadays you can also resell 5700XT for at least 150% what you paid for 2 years ago, makes it AMD card a better deal by far! Being fanboy is one thing, not having any knowledge of the market is another. It's the latter ones that leave silly comments.
Last gen I really think Nvidea should've gotten way more hate and amd should've been the one on top sales. But unfortunately nvidea fanboys are everywhere.
I've seen the 5600XT as low as 240€ and the 2060 Super for 330€ last summer both brand new. At those prices they were great options, one for the price/performance it offers, and the other for the extra 2GB VRAM, DLSS, DX12 Ultimate support and superior RT performance.
@@ShogoKawada123 In raw reasterization they're absolutely comparable. In price/perf and feature set they're obviously dissimilar, and it's going to come down to wallet vs preference.
I miss my Sapphire 5600xt Pulse. One of the best video cards I ever had! Paid ~$280 USD for it brand new! It would just mow down any game I came across. But recently got a Sapphire 6700xt Reference model and a Sapphire 6800xt Nitro +. Love these cards. I wish I could have kept the 5600xt but upgraded my monitor to 2k UW 34" curved panel and a 55" 4k curved TV. I knew my 5600xt was a 1080p card. Might gotten away with some 1440p gaming but knew it couldn't handle 4k. Great vid, Steve! Cheers! :D
It isn't about DLSS or Ray Tracing a graphics card without DX12 Ultimate is a tough pill to swallow tbh. 5600xt at the time isn't very future proof, its missing Mesh shaders, Variable rate shading and even sampler feedback. Without DX12U support the card is going to struggle in future titles. At the time when the 5600xt was released it had a better price but the price premium for the 2060 Super kind of made sense, especially when you keep that card for years and don't upgrade every cycle.
@@gamingunboxed5130 it will probably be an issue next year, Ratchet & Clank (a PS5 exclusive released a few months ago) already requires DirectX Storage like feature, so it won't take long until a game like it comes to PC.
And directX storage for my understanding won't be available on the 5600XT, that's a serious issue, games that won't be released for last gen consoles will use it so it can be playable.
i would really like to see them both unlocked and overclocked,because we know AMD was conservative with clocks (my sapphire pulse rx5600xt runs 2000mhz core 1950mhz mem when unlocked at 1100mv) which made it better
I feel lucky for having bought my sapphire 5600xt back in March 2020, just before the first lockdown, for 300 euros. And cheers to my old lady R9 290x for dying at just the right time
Love these revisits. One thing that would be cool is maybe also testing these with some more price appropriate CPUs as well. The NVIDIA CPU overhead issue might be relevant for deciding if these are decent buys on the second hand market
@@Hardwareunboxed is legendary :) Thanks for all this amazing content, integrity is like diamond dust on UA-cam. But I know to tip my hat and throw a coin when I see it! BIG BIG Big kudos!
@@Hardwareunboxed I do support your position, but what I think @Phil meant was-in addition to this revisit, how about a comparison of the 2 GPUs with "price appropriate" CPUs to showcase the more *'realistic'* pairing & hence performance, bcoz then the results may tend to favour the Radeon card even more as I imagine the perf diff. would narrow down. And like always, you can mention in the Final Thoughts that if u were to upgrade your CPU first rather than your GPU, then the RTX card will pull ahead
I am surprised there's even a few games the 5600 XT were better at. Also the 5600 XT was crippled to not eat into 5700/XT sales out of the factory, now with morepowertool and a custom bios you can now get clocks up to 2GHz+ like the 5700 cards and get even better performance.
AMD had to release a BIOS revision at the time of the 5600 XT launch to increase the clock speeds because the card was performance results were underwhelming initially to the vanilla 2060.
If i remember it correctly, even AMD put out a tool for people to flash their 5600XT onto a 5700, with the warning of "results may vary". However, it's still back in the day that AMD was trying to offer product at better value than Nvidia. The pricing for the 6xxx series is a step on the wrong direction.
I mean you could just get the 5700 and flash it to to the XT bios and you could as well use the morepowertool so... :D (also the 8gb VRAM makes the 5700 better than 5600XT IMO). Grabbed myself 5700XT, I run it with a UV and a very slight underclock over the factory OC (only about 2-3% less performance than factory OC) for low temps and noise. Perfect for 1080p@144hz with all settings that max out VRAM cranked :)
@@vh9network that BIOS upgrade still isn't fully unlocked. There's a proper way to do it with an unlocked msi bios now. Very nearly same as a 5700 performance out of the 5600 XT.
The 5600xt was the card that made me stick with AMD. Here in New Zealand this time last year a 5600xt was around $200 NZD cheaper than an rtx 2060 super. My friend brought the 2060 and I brought the 5600 xt and we were both using 7th gen i5 CPUs and let me tell you the 5600xt makes an even more compelling argument on "older" cpus that most people will be using. It was a good 5-10fps faster in pretty much everything. Running a 2060 and 5600xt on a 5950x doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I understand why it's done that way for benchmarking. Just saying you might be even more surprised seeing the comparison on a real world cpu
The only way to see a GPU is by these youtube videos, they're merely visual entertainment. I've been blessed I must say 'cause I'm enjoying my Vega 56 right now. No need to look for a GPU. Peace and stay strong.
OK Steve, but you forgot the *5700 Non-XT* existed in 2019 It was that GPU that competed with the 2060 Super. The 5600XT competed with the vanilla RTX 2060. Hence both have 6GB GDDR6.
The RTX 2060 was basically discontinued by the time the 5600 XT arrived. Nvidia baited with that $300 discount but a month later you couldn't find the 2006 in most regions.
@@Hardwareunboxed sadly we will never see a deal like the EVGA RTX 2060 KO again, I remember the $20 instant rebate made the card $280 and had me questioning and kicking myself in the head for spending $309 on a Aorus GTX 1660 Ti a year earlier.
5600xt was the card that got me back into AMD GPUs, bought one for the kids computer and it's been a pleasant surprise how well it performs, if you dial down a few settings and keep within 6gb mem limit. Super efficient, still very usable in 2021- keep up the good content
I might get get one in 2022 after all: - This is the predecessor to the RX 6600 XT which is currently $360. - better than the RX 6600 at $275(can't remember) but the RX 5600 XT is around $215~ on eBay - PCIE 4.0 wish it had more VRAM yet the value to performance blows away! - You know how I said "on eBay" well during this gen the RX 5x00 was the mining card selection of choice. - Less popular than the RX 5700 XT which allows some cards to escape the gulag of the forced crypto decryption
Your videos are excellent being up front & honest and you cut through all the crap by giving us good comparisons and your personal opinion. Keep the good work up!
Still glad I got my 5600XT Pulse on a discount for €270 a few months after it got released. With much matured drivers since mid 2020 the weird black screen issue was solved for me and for the games I play with it I am still very much content.
Halving the performance difference to the 2060 Super at 1080p must be a nice "sorry for the initial driver fuss" bonus as well. From what I can see Epic is focusing heavily on AMD optimization with UE5, so next gen games should keep or exceed this trend... It would be funny if Steve's 2023 revisit showed them 2-3% different :P
Nvidia Fans: No you cant compare the 2060 Super to 5700 XT as they're not the same performance bracket!!! Also Nvidia Fans: noooooo you cant compare the 2060 Super to the 5600 XT as they're not the same price bracket!!!
I have a 5600XT. For a long time I had issues with black screen until I eventually found out that the "Logitech Options" mouse & keyboard software was causing it. Such a strange problem. I wish AMD would make their drivers more robust. It's a great 1080p card, but I'm now ready to upgrade to something more powerful for 1440p.
I would always watch these comparisons looking for every FPS difference, as I had an RX 570. I had the opportunity to change to a 2080 super and now it seems so irrelevant. Is everything in life like this?
@@cadraf I went from 1060 to 2070 for 1080p/144Hz - it's a huge leap. Anything near 2070/3060/6600XT is gonna give you all the frames you need. (I don't play Ultra settings though, only High) Good luck, hope you can upgrade soon.
Dude I got your card and was mad at myself for wasting so much money as I too had a 470. ... We both dodged a bullet as you can't get a GPU today for under $1000. True the 2080S is not full 1440p for all titles at 144 hz its best we can do
I got my 5600xt after watching your 5600xt roundup on them. I got the 3 fan gigabyte model before the coof hit with rebate and a game for $220. It runs cool, quiet, and does everything I need it to do. Was such a steal for that price. Nowadays I feel bad for consumers. I had a side hustle building budget gaming pcs for people, optiplexs and some higher ones with r5 1600 af and 1660 supers/rx 5600xt. I've all but given up on trying to keep in market. Ill check and keep up with the news, but I can't see getting back into it for a while as it is.
My 5600xt had system wrecking crashes so returned for a 2060s to get by for a few months till 3000 came out. Looks like I'm spending $1500 unless i want a tiny incremental performance boost
My Powercolor 5600xt has fits every few days. Some days it's stable, other days it will black screen as soon as the pc boots. I've tried different motherboards, AMD cpu, Intel CPU, different PSUs it seems to make zero difference. This card was to replace a Vega56 that was eventually RMA'd due to similar issues so I'm about done with Radeons. My rx470 was pretty stable, I should perhaps have stuck with that.
While I admittedly have my leanings towards favorite brands, people really need to mellow out, look at possible reasons for the comparisons (price = price etc) and pause to understand why the cards were picked to be compared to each other.
Good video! Always love the thorough analysis. However, I often find these "price to performance" don't work for me where I am as the prices of cards being shown are either more or less the same or inverted (Nvidia cheaper than AMD).
I mean, the non-XT 5700 is what the 2060 Super was *actually* supposed to be competing with anyways... it'd be a far more sensible comparison than this one.
@@ShogoKawada123 it's not the 5700 XT is at a 2070 Super performance right now. he's done videos with both cards competing against each other and the RX 5700XT won fine wine at its finest.

@@406mill From what I can remember, AMD updated the firmware of the 5600 XT during its launch which made its performance more in line with the 2060. It caused a mess early on in 2020 but the performance benefits eventually paid off.
I had a XFX 5600xt for my first pc and it would have a lot of complete shutdowns to black or to Home Screen. I switched to the 2060 super and it never gives me problem. I got lucky and bought it used for very cheap. The ray tracing is honestly just whatever I never have it on because I don’t see much difference and it just takes up to much FPS.
RX 5600XT is gpu that looked kinda interesting for replacing RX 480. But seeing how easily my 4GB of vram gets full using DXVK, i have decided my next gpu must have at least 8GB of vram.
@@dampflokfreund I find my 5700xt works insanely good in dx12. To my understanding the only thing RDNA1 is missing is Raytracing and Variable Rate Shading. I don't think Raytracing is a big loss being that only now is it actually feasible and only the top 30 series and 6000 series can properly do it and we know how difficult those cards are to get. Also, I don't think VRS is used in many games (to my knowledge) and only acts as a fps bump. So I think RDNA1 will continue to age well. If I'm missing something please let me know as this is just what I know and haven't looked too far into this topic.
@@dampflokfreund Yes I am aware of this. I was just asking if there was anything I was missing. I understand Raytracing will be the norm in a few years in which by then I will be in the market for a new GPU anyways. I am also aware of Metro doing a good job with raytracing and is currently the only example imo that does it well even on older cards, even though I still think 60 fps is the bare minimum and I would still turn it off. I also have access to a 2070 super and 2080 ti, and the raytracing currently just isn't impressive. So, in a few years when raytracing and newer tech will be implemented on a much larger scale, it will be time for a new GPU, but until then RDNA1 has and will age well.
Always good to see another revisit. I don't know anyone but Steve who's doing it, and I think it's valuable content for people who are looking at buying older cards, where performance (and price) might have changed since release. Steve, keep up the good work, and be careful not to strain your back again with all that benching.
I have а 2060 Super and I am very sad to see these results... I think NVIDIA really kills the old gpus to make the new look better... My next gpu will be Radeon. :) Radeon gpus really lasts longer and aging better!

Holy hell. Nvidea fanboys went crazy on this video in reddit. Sad reality. Grown men tryna defend their precios "Little" company like it matters. All nvidea is are just fanboys and professionals. For 90% games AMD cards are the better choice. (My opinion)
Would have loved to have seen them stick a Vega 56 in there as a comparison, they were a great deal a couple of years ago, got mine for £270, Sapphire Pulse, and I reckon it would have fared very well.
I know most say they dont, but IF games etc. ever start making more use of; improving system ram/resources/pcie interface... (& there is some evidence they are - MS FS 2020, consoles, advancing APUs eg.), then AMD's PCIE 4 is a nice fine wine option to have in reserve - free up 8 lanes yet get the same 16GB/s w/ a lesser 8 lanes, or double up to 32GB/s w/ the usual 16 lanes. as mainstream system's resource pools improve over time (ddr5 eg.), i can quite believe games will be enhanced by supplementing dedicated gpu cache w/ a tier of slower gpu cache drawn from the system.
Yes! Two GPUs I can't buy at a physical or local store, either, there's only the 2060 non-Super sometimes at the same price than a 3060 (i.e. $850+) and the 5600XT doesn't even exist.
The entire 20 series was priced horribly. The 1600 cards were priced realistically. Only DLSS even puts it into consideration and while it's gotten much more adoption, it's still far from universal.
Where I live it's 950 EUR RX 5600 card vs a 850 EUR RTX 3060 Ti. (Couldn't find a single 2060 Super in stock) The regular 2060's are around 680 EUR. These prices are just insane.
@@Art0r1a At this point its obvious that both AMD and NVIDIA are not making cards for sale on purpose, just giving all the chips to prebuilt makers and bitcoin miners that order in large bulk. While milking desperate gamers with bloated prices.
If the Evoke 5700 XT did not get too warm on me I would have still had it, had to exchange for the 2060 Super. Luckily I was able to just add around 40$ and swap it for a 2070 super without any rgb. But would have loved the 5700 xt as it does have a raster advantage on my 2070 Super on most games.
@Rudolph Johnathan Queyquep .. A raster advantage favoring the 5700xt in most games? No. It doesn't .. Hardware Unboxed's own comparisons/reviews do not support that statement, neither does Digital Trends May 2021 review... www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt-vs-nvidia-rtx-2070-super/
I found interesting the “rationale” some folks use for justification of their own purchases. To me, the performance per dollar is the key factor. One can play 10% better with 100% more cash investment, or can justify these 100% extra cost on RTX to make the performance 30% worse. I really don’t get it, but again, that’s how me and the one B.I.G. feels: “mo money, mo problems”.
DLSS, extra VRAM and DX12 Ultimate support make it for a more future proof card and those are good reasons to justify the extra cost. Like in those 30 games they tested, atleast more than 10 actually have support for DLSS 2.x and like they said, it is actually a killer feature.
Going to call you out on this in terms of Aussie market (not trying to be a dick) - GTX 2060 Super for sale at 700 and in stock at Mwave, Scorptec, JW, and a few others. Second hand price is 600-700. RX 5600 XT second hand? Cheapest I've seen is 800 for a crappy one on Facebook marketplace, 900+ for decent ones in good condition on gumtree. If you're talking about USA market? maybe it's different there...
I have had a 5600XT and a 5700XT.. Both great cards. I am now on a 6800XT.. Couldn't tell you when I last had an nVidia GPU.. I believe it was a Geforce 3.
Still very happy with the Sapphire Pulse RX5600XT I purchased back in October, with the WoW extension bundled (big selling point, as I was playing it at the time and would have purchased it anyway). It has help up absolutely fine, and I don't expect to upgrade for a couple cycles at least.
Amazing how AMD cards cought up with the upper level cards. In 2020 August, I was trying to decide between 2060 Super and 5700 XT because they were at the same price and comparable performance, nearly identical. Now 5700 XT is basically the same performance with the 2070 Super and 5600 XT is the same with 2060 Super. I'm glad I didnt bought the 2060 Super
The 5700XT was always in competition with the 2070/S.. It literally had the same performance as the VII for cheaper. No driver update is going to push you into a whole different performance tier class.
@@ZambonieDude I will not spend time to find you evidence but I remember clearly that it was not the case back then. You can watch hub's comparison videos from last year for 5700xt vs 2060s.
The timing of this video is perfect - I just scored myself a reasonably cheap rx 5600m laptop - Yes I know I have to cut the performance down 20-30% from the desktop 5600xt, but this was a good guide for me to know what to expect :). Great vids as always chaps!
Based from this review, seems a lot of Nvidia's costumers getting scammed again (including myself). I will consider Radeon next time if i want to upgrade.
All this video does is point out that a cheaper card happens to be faster than a more expensive card in some cases. There was zero marketing that drew any comparison between them at any point. Most people considered the *regular* 2060 to be the 5600 XT's direct competitor.
As an RX 5600 XT (Sapphire BE ver.) owner this was immeasurably useful. Botched launch aside the card offers good value for what many people got it for-- sure I can't max out CP2077 even at 1080p but the library of games it CAN handle at that res, or even at 1440p for that matter, ain't something to sneeze at. This more or less convinced me to wait a few more years at least before upgrading :P
Me who actually wanted to buy one of these and has been trying since last year I have lost hope pc gaming is a joke I never believed I will say this but I have auctioned my pc and will get a series x
i'd rather pay only $400 than spend upwards of $1000 or more for something that could plummet in value at any time. obviously the deeper your pockets, the less you'll care lol
The prices are reversed here in Australia. Eg Palit 2060 Super is $880 from MightyApe and the cheapest RX 5600 XT, the Gigabyte Gaming OC, is $899 at PCbyte.
I'm running a Sapphire Pulse 5600 XT myself, so I'm eager to see it put through the Harvard On Box™ testing gauntlet now that AMD's "FineWine" has had time to age. 🍿
The entire 20 series was a stagnation in rasterized performance per dollar. That's what's so wrong with the 6600 and 6700xt but at least RTX gave you RT and DLSS. While these were essentially useless at launch DLSS has become a quite desirable feature that is difficult to put a value on. Makes reviews and fair comparisons impossible essentially. This will be an unpopular opinion with AMD fans but if an app supports FSR or DLSS they should be enabled at high quality for the simple fact that anyone in their right mind is going to use them when they can. I understand the idea to not give one side an unfair advantage but the argument could go both ways and say you're actually crippling one side in an attempt to do an apples to apples comparision. Isn't that essentially proof that you're not comparing apples to apples to begin with? DLSS has enough adoption at this point that's its not really an "unfair" advantage anymore. It's real performance in real games real people are playing and no longer niche. It holds value that should be shown. That's where you have a moral dilemma on parts like the 2060s. DLSS gains more value daily especially on these lower end parts. Even the most die hard AMD fan wishes they had RTX features. I'm stuck on a 1080ti and wish I had DLSS or at least more games with FSR. Revisits are good because the landscape changes constantly. When it launched the 5700xt couldn't touch my 1080ti. Now it often beats it because nvidia is horrible for optimizing old architectures. But this is also why it's no longer fair to skim over new features as they gain more support. If a driver update that gives better performance is allowed a feature should be too.
@@xxprojessexx8838 Yes. Not only is the RX 5600XT faster than the RTX 2060, it was also cheaper(279USD vs 349USD). The rival of the RTX 2060 Super was the RX 5700.
I'm happy with my 2060S, which I bought at a discount just before the shit hit the fan on pricing/availability. Granted I don't run many games that hammer the GPU at this time, but the RTX features (especially DLSS, but also basic RT capability) and 8 GB VRAM mean I should be able to limp a fair amount into the future at 1080p without having to drop settings to minimum. 5600 XT couldn't offer these benefits. (That being said, I'm aware NVIDIA doesn't have best track record as of late for making optimised drivers for anything but their latest range.)
Ryzen 5 5600 & Radeon Rx 5600xt is 💜🤌. This combo is perfect for 1080p/165hrz monitor. 110-300fps depending on the game. in March of 2020 I was lucky to get a prebuilt at the beginning of lockdown.
Today we have a couple of GPUs but we are not going to look at any benchmarks or tests for graphical things like video rendering, 3D modeling, animation rendering, vector and raster graphical work.
i remember people complaining about those last year when they were on sale, i grabbed the sapphire pulse myself but the reviews i saw complained about black screens a super high temps. i used to have an xfx rx580 that ran like a beast at the time and never broke the 70C mark. plus, xfx cards just look really sleek and clean if you're not into the whole rgb thing.
@@musek5048 I was worried at first when I got mine last year regarding some of the reviews and complaint's. Temps have been a little warmer than some cards. But stable and nothing I've been worried about. No screen problems at all. Running mine paired with a 3600. I won't be upgrading soon, although I do really like the look of the XFX Merc series cards.
@@8830chris these cards should hold us by for a while, hopefully to the point where the market comes back to somewhere near where it used to be. imo the 5000 series is going to be the new 500 series in terms of longevity.
I have the XFX 5500 XT, runs really cool and quiet. It has a strange issue though, if I wake my PC from sleep mode and launch a game I get a black screen which is solved by unplugging the display port cable from the card and back in. I can't figure out if it's a card-specific issue, my display port cable, or my monitor.
@@RedEverything lol that's the exact same issue I have with my 5700xt. It happens every so often but it's not THAT annoying for me to complain about it. I've gone through several updates hoping it would get fixed but nothing I've tried has resolved it. I'm just glad it doesn't happen often enough to ruin my experience with it.
I didn't know the 5600XT was so good. 120 dollars cheaper for only a 5-6% reduction in frame rate. At that price range that's a very solid win for the 5600XT to me.
That's why Nvidia still sells: because people don't know and bribed influencers don't want you to know.
I dismissed the 5600XT after the initial reviews until I later spent some time looking at HUB's performance for price graphs. Same as the GTX 1080 for $280 and was noticeably faster than the 1660 Super (a great value card) for only $40 more. Got one late last summer for MSRP which ended up being a great tech purchase.
This video is literally the first time I've *ever* seen the opinion expressed that these two cards were somehow meant to be direct competitors to each other. I find it quite confusing.
Thank Nvidia tainted news and fanboys laughing at AMD. Most gamers assume amd sucks so why listen to the reviews
@@timothygibney159 You make it sound like HUB themselves ever put out a review in 2020 that painted the 5600 XT as some sort of clearly better alternative to the 2060 Super specifically. The certainly didn't, because again they didn't cost nearly the same in real life and generally weren't ever compared by real people at large. Don't forget that the 5600 XT was launched in January 2020, also, while there were no Turing cards released any later than various points in 2019. The 5600 XT is almost a full year newer than the GTX 1660 Ti, for example.
The fact that the 5600XT is matching or beat the 2060S in any game is kind of embarrassing for such a massive price discrepancy.
Let's not even mention the fact that nvidia aided a lot on unreal engine 4 development and for some reason AMD cards get 10 fps less in games of that engine, even when in properly optimized games they either get the same or higher performance. The only corporation that does this at plain view yet they have fanboys that follow them.(Nvidia) Amazing.
2060S has DLSS + good RTX implementation, and pricing depends per country basis. In my country, you can't get either of those new, but their price in used market is not that far from each other as MSRP make it look like.
@@Purjo92 "good" RTX... 20's RTX is kind of a joke, isn't it?
@@Purjo92 2060 and 2060super are barely usable in rtx mode even with dlss turned on so lets not put too much emphasis on that
@@Purjo92 DLSS is good, but not in enough games to account for such a massive price difference (and I'm going by launch MSRP, not some other anomalous currency to which you're alluding). As for Ray Tracing, that's a joke on any of the 2060 series. It can barely handle the standard rasterization tests above 1080p, even without adding a high tech lighting systems. Turning on Ray Tracing at 1080p means you loose any chance of using high quality textures and LOD.
I remember those golden days when we were able to buy GPU’s at RRP.
now we buy GPUs at RIP.
i remember when Mid Class GPUs were 300 (€/$) max and Top End GPUs 800 at max (the good old 8800Ultra / GTX 280 days)
@@BeatmasterAC you mean 500$ (gtx 480)
And I also remember buying movie tickets for less than 2 bucks.
But yeh, prices have hiked way too much for the short amount of time that has passed, even if technology has improved tenfold. What I am really worried is that we only have two companies at this (soon to be three, with Intel, but they have a shit track record regarding pricing), and both of them are walking away from low end\mid performance GPUs, and making\forcing people to choose integrated graphics CPU's for low budget builds.
And companies cant even claim that the costs have increased, so they have to raise prices, as their earning reports are public, and it is obvious they're making bank every quarter.
@@evalangley3985 I wasn’t really talking about Turing tbh. My first GPU was a Riva TNT. I’ve seen the ups and downs.
Stoked that I got my Sapphire 5600XT Pulse OC last October 2020 at SRP when the closest RTX2060S had at least a $100 more price difference. Since the game I play nowadays are not too demanding, IMHO it is also capable 1440p card.
Literally me with a 5500XT mech from msi last October too
$200 flat at best buy
Hell, if they games you play aren't that demanding a 5500xt does pretty good at 1440 as well. If I were only concerned with gaming Id get a 6700 and be done with it but for the other stuff I do an nvidia card is the better option.
From where i live 2060 super is 20% cheaper than 5600xt. But both of them is 2 or 3 times expensive than msrp tho.
@@AdvancedNoob40 right now its more expensive as navi 1st gen is better than turing at mining i believe

I personally love your COST comparison approach to reviewing, because it is always relevant, but especially so in recent times.

Well, all reputable reviewers I watch have been called Nvidia\AMD shills depending on the results of their review. Most of them have grown thick enough skin not to care and see past the bullshit. As a tangent, it still blows my mind people willing to die on multibillion dollar companies hill that do not care about them. They're consumers, but rather act like this is a sport and they're rooting for their team to win.
@@alphapt9370 well, like linus said, fanboy is who called the others a paid shills
@@alphapt9370 reminds me of i🐑
Well said. With the total chaos of graphics card prices, I think there should be a numeral estimate for performance. Then you could see the prices and calculate estimated price to performance.
I think AMD has amazing cards finally but they are ruining the good will with these Nvidia prices. They might be selling but I'm seeing a vast amount of AMD cards available (at horrible prices) compared to no or small amounts of Nvidia cards (at stupid prices).
Glad i didn't pay 120$ more to get a nearly same performance, really happy with my 5600 XT Pulse.
Same. 👍
I wish I did buy a Rx 5600 xt when it was less than MSRP to upgrade from my Rx 570
same the pulse model is very good. Offers best noise and cooling performance.
@@FloatingOfficial yeah lol, 5600xt was literally better in $/performance than current AMD 6700xt and 6600xt (i take the market price for each card not MSRP)
Until you enable DLSS and then the 2060 wipes the floor.
Most people tend to forget that the 5600 XT is a significant gpu and does make a dent in the market and is pretty underrated. In other countries, it's not only significantly cheaper than the 2060 and its equivalents, it is a cut down 5700 so the capabilities are still there and the BIOS upgrade makes it one hell of a midrange card.
Welcome back Steve from the internet
Hope the market normalizes cause I just want to upgrade my rx570 into a 5600xt or a 2060super which would be nice
I don't know your specs but I Would go for a rx 6600, normal or xt
Honestly a normal 2060 is a better buy than a 5600 XT based on just the fact that it has better features and reliable drivers. Plus not all 5600XTs are the same die to amd playing themselves.

@@maxwellb.2364 It really depends what kinda eye candy you're trying to run. 1080p on ultra will need a 6600XT to stay above 60fps on everything while 1440p on all low will only take an RX 5500 XT to do 60fps for most games.

either you stack them up price for price or for similar performance, and since the 2060s and 5700xt were the same MSRP I think it was a fair comparison, like 5600xt vs 2060/s or 5700xt vs 2070s

Crazy the 5600XT… a card made to rival the 2060… is on par with the 2060Super now.
AMD has a history of ekeing surprising amounts of performance out of their cards over the lifetime of the card, via driver optimizations. They call it their FineWine technology, and sometimes, like here, it does indeed appear to work.

If you have any of these cards you are good imo. I have the 5700XT and honestly don't see a reason to upgrade especially with FSR support growing.
I'm interested in seeing that BIOStar RX 6600 XT review. I've only sparingly seen that manufacture through the decades. I think I once had one of their Socket A or 939 motherboards before I switched to MSI.
Also please do a Cost Per Frame chart. I know the GPUs aren't being sold at MSRP thanks to AIB/reseller greed, but it would be interesting to see where the 6600 XT will sit at.
Since a graphics card has stricter rules of design and is very limited in BIOS tweaking, there is a better chance that Biostar don't suck with this product than with motherboards.

I own an RX 5600 XT, because I was planning to buy an RTX 3070, but unsurprisingly wasn’t able to get my hands on one. I didn’t have any other option, so I had to go with something, and the 5600 XT seemed to be the only card available at the time (Nov 2020). Still been wanting to upgrade, but this video kinda showed that this card is actually pretty great. Was able to squeeze out a generous overclock as well (~1770MHz GPU, 1800MHz VRAM)
I'm an Nvidia 3080 owner and I have this to say:
5700XT was 100$ cheaper than 2060S (real market price in my region, in Aug 2019) while also being slightly faster. Considering nowadays you can also resell 5700XT for at least 150% what you paid for 2 years ago, makes it AMD card a better deal by far!
Being fanboy is one thing, not having any knowledge of the market is another. It's the latter ones that leave silly comments.
Last gen I really think Nvidea should've gotten way more hate and amd should've been the one on top sales. But unfortunately nvidea fanboys are everywhere.
I've seen the 5600XT as low as 240€ and the 2060 Super for 330€ last summer both brand new. At those prices they were great options, one for the price/performance it offers, and the other for the extra 2GB VRAM, DLSS, DX12 Ultimate support and superior RT performance.
These cards were never in the same "class" to begin with. The comparison in this video doesn't really make sense in general, I'd say.
@@ShogoKawada123 In raw reasterization they're absolutely comparable. In price/perf and feature set they're obviously dissimilar, and it's going to come down to wallet vs preference.

It isn't about DLSS or Ray Tracing a graphics card without DX12 Ultimate is a tough pill to swallow tbh. 5600xt at the time isn't very future proof, its missing Mesh shaders, Variable rate shading and even sampler feedback. Without DX12U support the card is going to struggle in future titles. At the time when the 5600xt was released it had a better price but the price premium for the 2060 Super kind of made sense, especially when you keep that card for years and don't upgrade every cycle.
More or less true. never buy an old card that feature wise is out of date. A mistake I will never make a second time.
Exactly. Back then it was a good buy recommendation but now? Nope. Do not buy a card without DX12U support.
@@Ghostsonplanets wake me up when this is a serious issue.

Love these revisits. One thing that would be cool is maybe also testing these with some more price appropriate CPUs as well. The NVIDIA CPU overhead issue might be relevant for deciding if these are decent buys on the second hand market
Bottlenecked testing is useless. In that case you might as well replace fps numbers with ratings like "good enough".
That sort of testing makes more sense for the CPU/GPU scaling content. Also thank you :)

That will be great
@@Hardwareunboxed I do support your position, but what I think @Phil meant was-in addition to this revisit, how about a comparison of the 2 GPUs with "price appropriate" CPUs to showcase the more *'realistic'* pairing & hence performance, bcoz then the results may tend to favour the Radeon card even more as I imagine the perf diff. would narrow down. And like always, you can mention in the Final Thoughts that if u were to upgrade your CPU first rather than your GPU, then the RTX card will pull ahead
I’ve an RX 5600XT paired with an i7-4790K in a mini-ITX system. It makes for a decent gaming experience even in Cyberpunk 2077. This in 2023.
I am surprised there's even a few games the 5600 XT were better at. Also the 5600 XT was crippled to not eat into 5700/XT sales out of the factory, now with morepowertool and a custom bios you can now get clocks up to 2GHz+ like the 5700 cards and get even better performance.
AMD had to release a BIOS revision at the time of the 5600 XT launch to increase the clock speeds because the card was performance results were underwhelming initially to the vanilla 2060.
If i remember it correctly, even AMD put out a tool for people to flash their 5600XT onto a 5700, with the warning of "results may vary".
However, it's still back in the day that AMD was trying to offer product at better value than Nvidia. The pricing for the 6xxx series is a step on the wrong direction.
I mean you could just get the 5700 and flash it to to the XT bios and you could as well use the morepowertool so... :D (also the 8gb VRAM makes the 5700 better than 5600XT IMO). Grabbed myself 5700XT, I run it with a UV and a very slight underclock over the factory OC (only about 2-3% less performance than factory OC) for low temps and noise. Perfect for 1080p@144hz with all settings that max out VRAM cranked :)
@@vh9network that BIOS upgrade still isn't fully unlocked. There's a proper way to do it with an unlocked msi bios now. Very nearly same as a 5700 performance out of the 5600 XT.
@@alphapt9370 no it's not in the wrong direction
how's your back mate? good to see you back!
The 5600xt was the card that made me stick with AMD. Here in New Zealand this time last year a 5600xt was around $200 NZD cheaper than an rtx 2060 super. My friend brought the 2060 and I brought the 5600 xt and we were both using 7th gen i5 CPUs and let me tell you the 5600xt makes an even more compelling argument on "older" cpus that most people will be using. It was a good 5-10fps faster in pretty much everything. Running a 2060 and 5600xt on a 5950x doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I understand why it's done that way for benchmarking. Just saying you might be even more surprised seeing the comparison on a real world cpu
You guys really should jump ship to amd for cpu.
Great video! I had both these cards at some point last year before upgrading and loved them both.
How's your back?
Much better now thank you.
@@Hardwareunboxed it's nice to hear that.
The only way to see a GPU is by these youtube videos, they're merely visual entertainment. I've been blessed I must say 'cause I'm enjoying my Vega 56 right now. No need to look for a GPU. Peace and stay strong.
OK Steve, but you forgot the *5700 Non-XT* existed in 2019
It was that GPU that competed with the 2060 Super.
The 5600XT competed with the vanilla RTX 2060. Hence both have 6GB GDDR6.
The RTX 2060 was basically discontinued by the time the 5600 XT arrived. Nvidia baited with that $300 discount but a month later you couldn't find the 2006 in most regions.
@@Hardwareunboxed sadly we will never see a deal like the EVGA RTX 2060 KO again, I remember the $20 instant rebate made the card $280 and had me questioning and kicking myself in the head for spending $309 on a Aorus GTX 1660 Ti a year earlier.
5600xt was the card that got me back into AMD GPUs, bought one for the kids computer and it's been a pleasant surprise how well it performs, if you dial down a few settings and keep within 6gb mem limit. Super efficient, still very usable in 2021- keep up the good content
I might get get one in 2022 after all:
- This is the predecessor to the RX 6600 XT which is currently $360.
- better than the RX 6600 at $275(can't remember) but the RX 5600 XT is around $215~ on eBay
- PCIE 4.0 wish it had more VRAM yet the value to performance blows away!
- You know how I said "on eBay" well during this gen the RX 5x00 was the mining card selection of choice.
- Less popular than the RX 5700 XT which allows some cards to escape the gulag of the forced crypto decryption
Your videos are excellent being up front & honest and you cut through all the crap by giving us good comparisons and your personal opinion. Keep the good work up!
Still glad I got my 5600XT Pulse on a discount for €270 a few months after it got released. With much matured drivers since mid 2020 the weird black screen issue was solved for me and for the games I play with it I am still very much content.
Halving the performance difference to the 2060 Super at 1080p must be a nice "sorry for the initial driver fuss" bonus as well. From what I can see Epic is focusing heavily on AMD optimization with UE5, so next gen games should keep or exceed this trend... It would be funny if Steve's 2023 revisit showed them 2-3% different :P
Nvidia Fans: No you cant compare the 2060 Super to 5700 XT as they're not the same performance bracket!!!
Also Nvidia Fans: noooooo you cant compare the 2060 Super to the 5600 XT as they're not the same price bracket!!!
Nvidia Fans: we had more money than brains so please dont compare these cards and point out our flawed logic!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Owning an RX5700. Think the performance should be identical + 10% boost in most cases?
2060 Super now days should be compared to RX 5700 (non XT).
I have a 5600XT. For a long time I had issues with black screen until I eventually found out that the "Logitech Options" mouse & keyboard software was causing it. Such a strange problem. I wish AMD would make their drivers more robust. It's a great 1080p card, but I'm now ready to upgrade to something more powerful for 1440p.
I would always watch these comparisons looking for every FPS difference, as I had an RX 570. I had the opportunity to change to a 2080 super and now it seems so irrelevant. Is everything in life like this?
True man, i have an 580 was expecting to change for a 2070 around this year but i guess not…
@@cadraf I went from 1060 to 2070 for 1080p/144Hz - it's a huge leap. Anything near 2070/3060/6600XT is gonna give you all the frames you need. (I don't play Ultra settings though, only High)
Good luck, hope you can upgrade soon.
Dude I got your card and was mad at myself for wasting so much money as I too had a 470. ... We both dodged a bullet as you can't get a GPU today for under $1000. True the 2080S is not full 1440p for all titles at 144 hz its best we can do
I got my 5600xt after watching your 5600xt roundup on them. I got the 3 fan gigabyte model before the coof hit with rebate and a game for $220. It runs cool, quiet, and does everything I need it to do. Was such a steal for that price. Nowadays I feel bad for consumers. I had a side hustle building budget gaming pcs for people, optiplexs and some higher ones with r5 1600 af and 1660 supers/rx 5600xt. I've all but given up on trying to keep in market. Ill check and keep up with the news, but I can't see getting back into it for a while as it is.
My 5600xt had system wrecking crashes so returned for a 2060s to get by for a few months till 3000 came out. Looks like I'm spending $1500 unless i want a tiny incremental performance boost
Same
You got a sht brand soo, probable a gygabyte yeahh, or maybe zotac
I have the MSI Gaming X is a fck beats the best of all the rx 5600 xt
Or just you pick the wrong or worst drivers, the old ones are the best, I always see videos first about the new drivers
My Powercolor 5600xt has fits every few days. Some days it's stable, other days it will black screen as soon as the pc boots. I've tried different motherboards, AMD cpu, Intel CPU, different PSUs it seems to make zero difference. This card was to replace a Vega56 that was eventually RMA'd due to similar issues so I'm about done with Radeons. My rx470 was pretty stable, I should perhaps have stuck with that.
I sometimes click videos just to hear the intro
While I admittedly have my leanings towards favorite brands, people really need to mellow out, look at possible reasons for the comparisons (price = price etc) and pause to understand why the cards were picked to be compared to each other.
Good video! Always love the thorough analysis.
However, I often find these "price to performance" don't work for me where I am as the prices of cards being shown are either more or less the same or inverted (Nvidia cheaper than AMD).
How about the RX 5700 vs the GTX 2060 Super, since both have 8GB of ram.
I mean, the non-XT 5700 is what the 2060 Super was *actually* supposed to be competing with anyways... it'd be a far more sensible comparison than this one.
@@ShogoKawada123 it's not the 5700 XT is at a 2070 Super performance right now. he's done videos with both cards competing against each other and the RX 5700XT won fine wine at its finest.

Just got say I am happy with my 2070S that I bought when it launched. The card is still very capable at 1440p. With the current price situation, I won't be upgrading until 2023.
How much did it cost at the time?
@@_shadow_1 A 100 more than 5700XT, so should be 500 dollars/euros. It is slightly better than my 5700XT but way more fkin expensive and thus not an option for me. But!

Well worth the money and good timing too. Last few times I checked. That same card is going between $800-$1000.
Nice to see that the 5600 XT is now being compared to the 2060S considering it waa supposed to compete with the 1660 Ti.

edit: nvm, totally for got the 5700 non xt was a thing..lol
@@406mill From what I can remember, AMD updated the firmware of the 5600 XT during its launch which made its performance more in line with the 2060. It caused a mess early on in 2020 but the performance benefits eventually paid off.
Picked up a vanilla RX 5700 back in January 2020 for a mere $300. I've since flashed it with the 5700 XT BIOS, making it an absolutely killer value.
I had a XFX 5600xt for my first pc and it would have a lot of complete shutdowns to black or to Home Screen. I switched to the 2060 super and it never gives me problem. I got lucky and bought it used for very cheap. The ray tracing is honestly just whatever I never have it on because I don’t see much difference and it just takes up to much FPS.
RX 5600XT is gpu that looked kinda interesting for replacing RX 480. But seeing how easily my 4GB of vram gets full using DXVK, i have decided my next gpu must have at least 8GB of vram.
Navi 10 aged really well
@@dampflokfreund I find my 5700xt works insanely good in dx12. To my understanding the only thing RDNA1 is missing is Raytracing and Variable Rate Shading. I don't think Raytracing is a big loss being that only now is it actually feasible and only the top 30 series and 6000 series can properly do it and we know how difficult those cards are to get. Also, I don't think VRS is used in many games (to my knowledge) and only acts as a fps bump. So I think RDNA1 will continue to age well. If I'm missing something please let me know as this is just what I know and haven't looked too far into this topic.
@@dampflokfreund Yes I am aware of this. I was just asking if there was anything I was missing. I understand Raytracing will be the norm in a few years in which by then I will be in the market for a new GPU anyways. I am also aware of Metro doing a good job with raytracing and is currently the only example imo that does it well even on older cards, even though I still think 60 fps is the bare minimum and I would still turn it off. I also have access to a 2070 super and 2080 ti, and the raytracing currently just isn't impressive. So, in a few years when raytracing and newer tech will be implemented on a much larger scale, it will be time for a new GPU, but until then RDNA1 has and will age well.
@@JerrySpringfield1 yes rtx on at 30-40 fps. The future is bright. Lol

Stuff like this always makes me want to go AMD for one gen. The long term performance and consistency is just so awesome and tempting.
Never hurts to dip your toes into the alternative brand, granted awful time to swap to any gpu. Hah
Always good to see another revisit. I don't know anyone but Steve who's doing it, and I think it's valuable content for people who are looking at buying older cards, where performance (and price) might have changed since release. Steve, keep up the good work, and be careful not to strain your back again with all that benching.
I have а 2060 Super and I am very sad to see these results... I think NVIDIA really kills the old gpus to make the new look better... My next gpu will be Radeon. :) Radeon gpus really lasts longer and aging better!

Holy hell. Nvidea fanboys went crazy on this video in reddit. Sad reality. Grown men tryna defend their precios "Little" company like it matters.
All nvidea is are just fanboys and professionals. For 90% games AMD cards are the better choice. (My opinion)
Would have loved to have seen them stick a Vega 56 in there as a comparison, they were a great deal a couple of years ago, got mine for £270, Sapphire Pulse, and I reckon it would have fared very well.
me on 2020-2021, oh yes graphics cards, interesting to watch
I know most say they dont, but IF games etc. ever start making more use of; improving system ram/resources/pcie interface... (& there is some evidence they are - MS FS 2020, consoles, advancing APUs eg.), then AMD's PCIE 4 is a nice fine wine option to have in reserve - free up 8 lanes yet get the same 16GB/s w/ a lesser 8 lanes, or double up to 32GB/s w/ the usual 16 lanes.
as mainstream system's resource pools improve over time (ddr5 eg.), i can quite believe games will be enhanced by supplementing dedicated gpu cache w/ a tier of slower gpu cache drawn from the system.
Yes! Two GPUs I can't buy at a physical or local store, either, there's only the 2060 non-Super sometimes at the same price than a 3060 (i.e. $850+) and the 5600XT doesn't even exist.
The entire 20 series was priced horribly. The 1600 cards were priced realistically. Only DLSS even puts it into consideration and while it's gotten much more adoption, it's still far from universal.
Oh look a 700 Euro RX 5600 card vs 900 Euro RTX 2060 super card comparison video. fun times
Where I live it's 950 EUR RX 5600 card vs a 850 EUR RTX 3060 Ti. (Couldn't find a single 2060 Super in stock)
The regular 2060's are around 680 EUR. These prices are just insane.

If the Evoke 5700 XT did not get too warm on me I would have still had it, had to exchange for the 2060 Super. Luckily I was able to just add around 40$ and swap it for a 2070 super without any rgb. But would have loved the 5700 xt as it does have a raster advantage on my 2070 Super on most games.
@Rudolph Johnathan Queyquep .. A raster advantage favoring the 5700xt in most games? No. It doesn't .. Hardware Unboxed's own comparisons/reviews do not support that statement, neither does Digital Trends May 2021 review... www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt-vs-nvidia-rtx-2070-super/
I found interesting the “rationale” some folks use for justification of their own purchases. To me, the performance per dollar is the key factor. One can play 10% better with 100% more cash investment, or can justify these 100% extra cost on RTX to make the performance 30% worse. I really don’t get it, but again, that’s how me and the one B.I.G. feels: “mo money, mo problems”.
DLSS, extra VRAM and DX12 Ultimate support make it for a more future proof card and those are good reasons to justify the extra cost. Like in those 30 games they tested, atleast more than 10 actually have support for DLSS 2.x and like they said, it is actually a killer feature.
@@gonzalotome7875 all those features are irrelevant if future games don't run at acceptable frames on that card. Don't be a nvidia fanboy.
Going to call you out on this in terms of Aussie market (not trying to be a dick) - GTX 2060 Super for sale at 700 and in stock at Mwave, Scorptec, JW, and a few others. Second hand price is 600-700.
RX 5600 XT second hand? Cheapest I've seen is 800 for a crappy one on Facebook marketplace, 900+ for decent ones in good condition on gumtree.

Still very happy with the Sapphire Pulse RX5600XT I purchased back in October, with the WoW extension bundled (big selling point, as I was playing it at the time and would have purchased it anyway). It has help up absolutely fine, and I don't expect to upgrade for a couple cycles at least.
Amazing how AMD cards cought up with the upper level cards. In 2020 August, I was trying to decide between 2060 Super and 5700 XT because they were at the same price and comparable performance, nearly identical. Now 5700 XT is basically the same performance with the 2070 Super and 5600 XT is the same with 2060 Super. I'm glad I didnt bought the 2060 Super
Don't know where you were in August 2020, but the 5700xt was beating the 2070s in late 2019... ua-cam.com/video/ZmlRzGhdWdM/v-deo.html

It literally had the same performance as the VII for cheaper.

@@ZambonieDude I will not spend time to find you evidence but I remember clearly that it was not the case back then. You can watch hub's comparison videos from last year for 5700xt vs 2060s.
The timing of this video is perfect - I just scored myself a reasonably cheap rx 5600m laptop - Yes I know I have to cut the performance down 20-30% from the desktop 5600xt, but this was a good guide for me to know what to expect :). Great vids as always chaps!
Lucky you. I'm still struggling to find RX 5000M laptops...
Based from this review, seems a lot of Nvidia's costumers getting scammed again (including myself). I will consider Radeon next time if i want to upgrade.
All this video does is point out that a cheaper card happens to be faster than a more expensive card in some cases. There was zero marketing that drew any comparison between them at any point. Most people considered the *regular* 2060 to be the 5600 XT's direct competitor.
As an RX 5600 XT (Sapphire BE ver.) owner this was immeasurably useful. Botched launch aside the card offers good value for what many people got it for-- sure I can't max out CP2077 even at 1080p but the library of games it CAN handle at that res, or even at 1440p for that matter, ain't something to sneeze at. This more or less convinced me to wait a few more years at least before upgrading :P

I'm running a Sapphire Pulse 5600 XT myself, so I'm eager to see it put through the Harvard On Box™ testing gauntlet now that AMD's "FineWine" has had time to age. 🍿
The entire 20 series was a stagnation in rasterized performance per dollar. That's what's so wrong with the 6600 and 6700xt but at least RTX gave you RT and DLSS. While these were essentially useless at launch DLSS has become a quite desirable feature that is difficult to put a value on. Makes reviews and fair comparisons impossible essentially.
This will be an unpopular opinion with AMD fans but if an app supports FSR or DLSS they should be enabled at high quality for the simple fact that anyone in their right mind is going to use them when they can. I understand the idea to not give one side an unfair advantage but the argument could go both ways and say you're actually crippling one side in an attempt to do an apples to apples comparision. Isn't that essentially proof that you're not comparing apples to apples to begin with? DLSS has enough adoption at this point that's its not really an "unfair" advantage anymore. It's real performance in real games real people are playing and no longer niche. It holds value that should be shown.
That's where you have a moral dilemma on parts like the 2060s. DLSS gains more value daily especially on these lower end parts. Even the most die hard AMD fan wishes they had RTX features. I'm stuck on a 1080ti and wish I had DLSS or at least more games with FSR.
Revisits are good because the landscape changes constantly. When it launched the 5700xt couldn't touch my 1080ti. Now it often beats it because nvidia is horrible for optimizing old architectures. But this is also why it's no longer fair to skim over new features as they gain more support. If a driver update that gives better performance is allowed a feature should be too.
The RX 5600 XT was the equivalent of the RTX 2060, not the 2060 super.
No.
@@xxprojessexx8838 Yes. Not only is the RX 5600XT faster than the RTX 2060, it was also cheaper(279USD vs 349USD). The rival of the RTX 2060 Super was the RX 5700.
I'm happy with my 2060S, which I bought at a discount just before the shit hit the fan on pricing/availability. Granted I don't run many games that hammer the GPU at this time, but the RTX features (especially DLSS, but also basic RT capability) and 8 GB VRAM mean I should be able to limp a fair amount into the future at 1080p without having to drop settings to minimum. 5600 XT couldn't offer these benefits. (That being said, I'm aware NVIDIA doesn't have best track record as of late for making optimised drivers for anything but their latest range.)
Ryzen 5 5600 & Radeon Rx 5600xt is 💜🤌. This combo is perfect for 1080p/165hrz monitor. 110-300fps depending on the game. in March of 2020 I was lucky to get a prebuilt at the beginning of lockdown.

I actually lucked out last year when my gpu died suddenly and I had to buy a new one. I was able to grab a 5600xt for sub MSRP from Best Buy in March.
