MSI Gaming Radeon RX 5600 XT Boost Clock: 1600 MHz 192-bit 6GB GDDR6 DP/HDMI Dual Torx 3.0 Fans Freesync DirectX 12 Ready Graphics Card (RX 5600 XT MECH OC)

Years ago I was a die-hard fan of no video card unless is was a Radeon....period. Then I made the switch to NVIDIA with my first card being the 980 Ti Classified (which I still have)...and then working through every new GPU to the current (but soon to be out-dated) RTX 2080 class. Anyway, I wanted to get a nice mid-range card for a new build and having purchased and used an MSI Z490 chipset to support an Intel Gen 10 Core i7, the 5600 XT Gaming seemed to fit just right. Though out of my "comfort zone" for my new builds, I have been more than pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of this card. No issues with drivers, EZ install, games are no problem, 4K looks great with additional settings in the Radeon Software to enable 10-bit panel support, and so on... If you are looking for a great mid-range card...GET THIS CARD. You will not be disappointed.

Rocky start: When I first purchased this in early March 2020, it was extremely unstable because of the well known AMD driver issues which caused constant black screens among thousands of people. I was SO SO close to returning this thing because I had to endure these issues for a month asking myself "Did I really just spend $300 on this piece of junk??" Thankfully I hung in there for just a tad bit longer. Mid March I flashed the new VBIOS using MSI Live Updates and the black screens weren't as constant, but the issues still remained. Finally AMD released a new driver update mid March version 20.3.1 which seemed to fix the black screens and also addressed the known issues in the "What's new" portion of the driver update info. Conclusion: This is a 1080p killing machine! Great value for the money and can stand toe-to-toe against RTX 2060 Super but for about $100 less. Make sure to flash new VBIOS using MSI LIVE Updates and update to latest AMD drivers for RX 5600 XT.

I bought the 2060 KO from evga and quickly saw this card after. The evga 2060 was 350 while this one is 290. I saw some YouTube videos that said this is the best card for 1080 p gaming and this is just that. I am able to get 144 FPS on med high setting in warzone! That’s nuts. I can get 144 FPS on all games I play. A good update bios from msi just go to their website and download the drivers and this card outperforms higher price cards and it has a backplate! It feels sturdy when installing and cooling idles at 37c under load I reach 60c max under heavy load and that’s with one case intake fan. I have ordered more and will notice better cooling efficiency highly recommend!

Pros - Very affordable and accurately priced @ > $300 - Very cool gpu. Stress tests with Kombuster/Userbenchmark couldn't push the gpu above 80c before OC crash. - Adrenalin software is interesting/Very customizable with current updates (is finally stable) - Freesync (significantly easier to find a nice monitor for this gpu as most monitors now have freesync) - Lots of room for over clocking and pretty damn stable compared to Nvidia - FPS is *pretty good for the price Cons - Very sharp/ grainy graphical style. (NVIDIA is known for being smooth and silky while this card is grainy and sharp in most games. This is not a bad thing if you're looking for the best FPS, but i try to build systems that look amazing and function amazing. This card is more of the side of "function amazing") - Gets crushed by the 2060 super and fairly out done by the 2060. This is a half step down from the 2060 in my book. - Time consuming for new PC builders to get settings dialed in. I've spent probably 4-5 hours getting this card dialed in - running DDU, driver updates, general card settings in adrenaline, monitor configuration etc. Much more tweaking needed compared to an NVIDIA card buy after everything is all said and done, i like the customization this card offers. - Not particularly amazing but a good card. Can't run warzone on max settings without a lot of performance chopping, WoW at max settings performs around 65-75 fps. Was a little disappointed at first. HOWEVER on more customized graphics/settings in adrenalin you can push the image quality down and get significantly higher performance. OVERALL (TLDR) - I'd give this card a 7/10 for value alone. Don't expect this card to handle everything you throw at it, but do expect this card to put up pretty good performance in most scenarios.

My cable management may not be great, but this gpu sure is! Has great performance for really good value. It looks amazing and I haven’t had any problems with this card. MSI continue to make good products and good graphics cards. If you want a 5600xt this is a great choice. Did not disappoint. Might be slightly big, but it’s still really good. Has really good value nowadays, I got it for 310. Really good card. You should buy it. The performance will not disappoint you!

Adquirida hace alrededor de un mes , debo destacar que esta tarjeta sorprende bastante (msi gaming MX), por su solida construcción, al tomarla es bastante pesada y se siente de muy buena calidad, tiene dos ventiladores bastante grades para un excelente flujo de aire, y la instalación junto a sus drivers directamente de AMD con la versión 2.9.1 me a andado sin ningún tipo de problemas ni pantallazos azules, según comentan otras personas. El rendimiento es espectacular con unas temperaturas muy frescas, cabe destacar que este modelo ya viene con su BIOS actualizada por ende no habrá problemas en exprimirla en su totalidad. Su temperatura promedio en reposo es de 29 grados con un consumo de 7w a 60hz Su temperatura promedio en reposo es de 38 grados con un consumo de 25w a 144hz Su temperatura promedio en gaming es de 48 grados con un consumo de 97w a 60hz Su temperatura promedio en gaming es de 54 grados con un consumo de 98w a 144hz Estas pruebas se hicieron con una curva de ventilación de VEL/TEMP : 25/35 33/45 43/55 53/65 80/80 a una frecuencia en reloj de 1800mhz y reloj de vram a 1800. es sumamente silenciosa en reposo y en carga no es muy diferente, estéticamente su backplate es hermoso para un gabinete con vidrio templado.

I purchased the video card last year, before all the craziness that we are experiencing now. The prices were ok last year on video cards. I just needed a mid-tier video card for watching some movies, editing a few family videos, and letting my son play an occasional game. I purchased this video card and it came with 2 free downloads for games. I installed this video card on an X570 Unify board with a new AMD 3600 processor. I cannot say anything negative about this purchase. This video card does everything I expected. I am not a gamer but my son plays some games on his iPad. I installed the games on my system and boy they are BIG files. My son plays "Resident Evil," and some combat games as well. The graphics are amazing and my computer doesn't even stutter. For the price and what I need, this was a good purchase.

Everything is fine with this GPU except for an annoying issue I still don't get to fix after 2 years. I don't know if it's not "compatible" with my monitor(s) or what's going on but randomly like once per day or once a week it freezes my pc for like 2 seconds and then shows an error uninstalling the AMD software even after this I can still use my PC with no problems but its kinda annoying.
