Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse

Pick anyone ya want and see if you can do better.

Let's see who the idiot is ... The 5600 XT loses to the nVidia FE. Pick anyone ya want and see if you can do better.

FE, if found, is even more expensive, so thank you for proving my point

And where exactly can you buy the FE for a similar price? Nether pcpartpicker, geizhals nor nvidia have any listed.

1. And where can you ever find any AIB card that is slower than the FE ?

2. And in what would in a 7.5% investment not worth a 9.95 return on tjhat investment.

Thank you for disproving your own point.

So.... where's the unlocked power OC numbers lol

The card is not power constrained

Now you're changing focus again..
Why did you bring up the FE at all then?

Thank you for comparing with models that aren't for sale anymore.

RT reflections and RT transparent reflections in Control and Deliver Us The Moon make those games more immersive than any other settings...

I never stated RT as a whole was useless, i stated that RT on the lower tier RTX 2060 is useless.

and you were proven wrong. take it as a man.

 

[Durvelle27]

Where was i proven wrong. Please point me to the data you have that proves my point wrong.

 

[nguyen]

I never stated RT as a whole was useless, i stated that RT on the lower tier RTX 2060 is useless.

The point was you can lower other settings and enable RT reflection and RT transparent reflections and it instantly make the game look better and still playable on RTX 2060. Also DLSS on those 2 games are quite good.

 

[xkm1948]

Lack of good media coder is still a deal breaker.

A good choice for red team fans though.

 

[Jinxed]

Where was i proven wrong. Please point me to the data you have that proves my point wrong.

by multiple people's statements here.

see, it works like this:
1) you make a claim, like:

RT on the lower tier RTX 2060 is useless

2) you're the presenter of the argument, you prove it with "data you have that proves my point"

the other way, asking us to disprove you (which we did anyway), is called a fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

Who buys a GPU just to use the lowest setting. That's broken logic

Good mix of high and medium would be sufficient.

There is almost always a choice in settings and some has to be lowest. Clearly someone uses them.
You may simply not understand this situation.

Its like buying a 4K display and playing on the lowest settings by than you lost the benefit of it in the first place.

Many (if not most) people buy monitors with resolution higher than they game at. Nothing special.

If you are going to RT at low you might as well leave it off as you won't see any difference

Maybe you don't, but someone else does. RT changes how games look in a different way than traditional settings do (details, resolution etc).
Discussing RT is getting boring.
You don't get it. Fine. Don't use it (as long as you have a choice).
I think overclocking is stupid, but I don't write about it every time someones mentions OCing.

he does get it. he just won't aknowledge it, since team red has no raytracing at all. classic.

 

[dicktracy]

No Ray Tracing means it's dead the moment next-gen consoles drop this year. How is that now a HUGE con?

No, it's not. People will keep gaming without RTRT - even on cards that support it, even in games that implement it. Because they don't like the realism. Because they don't like the clarity loss. Because they're just openly against the idea despite reason and arguments.

But it likely is the last generation of cards without RTRT support.

It's not really a big issue as long as we don't see games that require RTRT or in which running without RTRT isn't making much sense anymore (it offers much worse image quality).

 

[Casecutter]

Seeing EVGA is paying for banners on top and both sides of the screen it fairly evident that they see strong competition and need to get in there and mix it up. Seem's all good to me...

 

[jabbadap]

The card is not power constrained

Well yes, but it has hard voltage limit. Overcome that and it will suck more power to retrieve more performance. Just as a reminder equally voltage restricted RX 5700 OC just as bad as this: "With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1860 MHz on the memory (6% overclock) and 1850 MHz on the GPU, which increases average GPU clock from 1738 MHz to 1762 MHz (1% overclock)."

While less voltage restricted not-so efficiency minded navi cards OC higher: rx5500xt 1.97GHz OC@1.13V, RX5700xt 2.0GHz OC@1.2V

 

[medi01]

Am I misreading the charts or does Sappphire make amazingly quiet coolers, wiping the floor with RTX?

I realise 5600XT consumes less than 2060, but it's not THAT much less.

 

[B-Real]

Holy moly, this card is simply incredible. Consumes less power than the RTX 2060 and is some % better, making it better performance per W (and of course perf. per $). And as I predicted, initially it would have been a highly overclockable card, that could be OCd by 12-13% like better NV cards. And it IS the second best performance/W card after the GTX 1650, which is really incredible. Well done, AMD!

Sapphire DOES make the best price/performance (meaning quality) cards for AMD.

 

[Xuper]

I checked and MSI RX 5600 XT Gaming X Is Much better in term of cooling.

MSI Gaming is not the same league as Sapphire Pulse. It is against the Nitro+. Against the Pulse MSI has the Mech, Armor models.

 

[Xuper]

So Sapphire will release Nitro+ for 5600XT ?

 

[Deleted member 158293]

If they do they'll probably have the same problem as Asus with pricing the 5600XT in 5700 territory.

No idea, I don't really follow what models does the partners release for given GPUs. But a 73C card is absolutely correct.

It's true, but if you approach from the other side, you get a top-tier cooling solution in the price range of the cheapest RX 5700 cards.

No point to be honest. Even the PULSE model keeps this card pretty cool, considering that the factory fancurve must be really relaxed. If you do a more agressive fan curve on it maxing out at around 33-35dB noise wise, it would probably be still be quiet and you could drop around 10°C off temps.

Here in Hungary we have like 70EUR room between the PULSE RX 5600XT and the PULSE RX 5700, so I would say probably no Nitro+ version in the works, but if they do a two fan version maybe it would land between the two price wise.
