The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Review, Feat. Sapphire Pulse: A New Challenger For Mainstream Gaming
by Ryan Smith on January 21, 2020 9:01 AM ESTCompute
While I’m including compute performance for the sake of completeness here, the compute situation on Navi has not substantially changed since the launch of the Radeon RX 5700 series over 5 months ago. AMD’s Adrenaline 2020 software has improved the state of their OpenCL drivers slightly – there are fewer hard crashes and performance is up in some cases – but their drivers are still dysfunctional and not fit for production use. In particular, Folding@Home and parts of CompuBench are still unable to run (and SETI@Home users will want to stay clear too).

I didn't think the 5600XT would be really competitive. I'm glad to see I was probably wrong. Great on AMD.sonny73n - Wednesday, January 22, 2020 - link
You’re wrong. Most people would spend $20 more to get the RTX2060. For 1080p gaming, I would get the GTX1660 Super which suits 1080p gaming perfectly. It also has the best price/performance.The 5600XT needs to be priced at $240 to really have a competitive edge.

Don’t be absurd. This is based on 2020 GPU pricing comparison provided by Anandtech RIGHT HERE in the article.Korguz - Thursday, January 23, 2020 - link
sorry sonny73n you are being close minded... do you really think the prices are the same everywhere ?? AT's pricing is in US FUNDS, and there for, in countries OTHER then the US, the prices and price differences, will be higher and different... so my $40- $50 price difference, is NOT absurdhaukionkannel - Thursday, January 23, 2020 - link
Yeah... Different countries have different price differences!schujj07 - Wednesday, January 22, 2020 - link
Why would you spend an extra $20 for the RTX 2060 when the OC 5600XT is faster, cheaper, and uses less power than the 2060? Do you actively like spending more money for inferior products?jragonsoul - Wednesday, January 22, 2020 - link
Yeah, looks like Sonny didn't read the article at all.sonny73n - Thursday, January 23, 2020 - link
