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)

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.

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.

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.

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 priceCons- 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.

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!

Super(sized) card but did it deserve to be this humongous? Obviously needs a big case and with good performance, it ticks all boxes. I removed the fan and did some re-pasting to get some startling temperature drop on some monitor called junction. Whatever that is, I offer congratulations.

This card has been a little champ for us, and I'm sure glad I got it before everything went crazy with gpu's. It handled everything I asked it to do with ease. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was solid at 60+ fps on high/ultra settings. All the games we play do fine with it. Sure a 5700 XT would be better and of course mythical 6000-series radeon cards would be even better. But if you can get your hands on a 5600 XT for a reasonable price it's really not a bad investment. For what we paid (I think around $300) it's pretty hard to beat. Especially in today's market.
