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

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

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560X has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Radeon RX 5600 XT has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 5600 XT has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 560X has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5600 XT at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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