Radeon RX 5600 XT vs Radeon RX 560 XT specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 XT in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 5600 XT has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 5600 XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 5600 XT and the Radeon RX 560 XT have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 5600 XT over the Radeon RX 560 XT.
