SAPPHIRE RX 5600 XT Pulse Review

3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

We start our look at performance with 3DMark – and just as reminder, we tested both the original BIOS (with reference spec) and the new BIOS (with increased power, GPU clock and memory clock).

With the 1080p Fire Strike strike benchmark, both the original and new 5600 XT BIOS out-scored the RTX, which is not bad at all. In Time Spy, however, the original 5600 XT BIOS was 9% slower than the RTX 2060, but with the BIOS update there is now parity between the two cards in that benchmark.
