AMD Rolls Out Radeon RX 5300: 1408 SP, 3GB GDDR6

AMD sneaked out the Radeon RX 5300 desktop discrete graphics card. At this point it's unclear if the card is an OEM exclusive, or if a retail channel launch is imminent. The RX 5300 desktop features an identical core-configuration to the RX 5300M mobile GPU that's been out since late-2019. The desktop RX 5300 surfaced on the Geekbench database in May 2020.

Based on the 7 nm "Navi 14" silicon, the RX 5300 is endowed with the same 1,408 stream processor count as the RX 5500 XT, but the memory amount and bus width has been cut down by 25%. It hence has 3 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 96-bit wide memory interface, which at 14 Gbps puts out 168 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU ticks at 1448 MHz "game" clocks, and 1645 MHz boost. The typical board power of the RX 5300 is rated at 100 W, which means it requires at least a 6-pin PCIe power input and cannot make do with slot-only power. There's no word on pricing, since we have no info on channel-based availability.

NihilusTo get 75w, you would need to reduce boost clocks to around 1450 mhz instead of the 1850 mhz of the 5500xt. Best case scenario would be 80% of the performance of the 5500xt if there are no vram or bandwidth limitations.

The 4 GB GTX 1650 already gets close to 80% of the 5500xt performance and that is the GDDR5 version. If someone is on that tight of a budget, they will likely find a used 1050ti. There is just no way for this card to win, even at $130.
Again, a 6GB frame buffer would have made it attractive to niche markets.
Yeah I agree, the 3gb is way too small. I wonder how it performs though on Rise Of The Tomb Raider.

3GB is perfectly fine for this market segment. There's no situation in which the 3GB will be more of a bottleneck than the width and clock speed of the GPU itself.

king of swag187Why did you pay $166 for what is basically a 580
Technically a bit faster, but they don't really make a 580 8GB under 170mm long for SFF cases. There is a 4GB model, but wanted more than 4GB.

Also, a 580s are going for $150+ still, so why not get something (marginally) better?

The Nvidia equivelant is the 1650 Super 4GB, bit it is hard to find under $180. The next step up is the 1660 Super, but that is well over $200.

Polaris is still the best budget options in most regions.
