About the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2020 with a MSRP of $279. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 10) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 5600 XT has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 5600 XT includes 2,304 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,130 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,560 MHz. It usually operates at 1,375 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 5600 XT occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 150 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 5600 XT has the 70th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 31,310 score and $279 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 112.22. This is the 13th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD106) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4070 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4070 Mobile includes 4,608 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,395 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,695 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 144 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 36 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 4070 Mobile has the 37th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 39.17% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
