AMD has been slowly ramping up its Navi GPU lineup, with the RX 5500 XT recently joining the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT. The next step seems to be the RX 5600 XT, with leaked benchmarks leading us to expect similar performance to a Vega 56.

User ‘_rogame’ posted leaked benchmark results for the upcoming RX 5600 XT on Reddit and shared the findings with Videocardz. The latest leak seems to confirm that the GPU will feature 6GB of VRAM, while other sources suggest that these will be 12Gbps GDDR6 memory chips.

The leak includes GPU scores for several prominent benchmarks putting the RX 5600 XT in similar territory to the RX Vega 56 and GTX 1070Ti. In most of the tests, the RX 5600 XT brought in over 30% better performance than the RX 5500 XT.

In Time Spy Extreme, the alleged RX 5600 XT is said to have scored 2815 points, while it scored 6446 points in standard Time Spy. In Fire Strike Ultra (4K), the GPU scored 4756 points, which rose to 9198 points in Fire Strike Extreme.

Of course, this is all rumour for now, so take this information with a grain of salt. Perhaps AMD will have something official to share early next year.

KitGuru Says: With the launch of next-gen consoles, APUs with Navi/RDNA graphics and of course, new discrete graphics cards, 2020 is shaping up to be a big year for Radeon. We are also still waiting to hear more about the ‘high-end’ Navi chip that AMD teased earlier in the year.

RX Vega 56 successfully flashed with Vega 64 BIOS for performance boost https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/rx-vega-56-successfully-flashed-with-vega-64-bios-for-performance-boost/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/rx-vega-56-successfully-flashed-with-vega-64-bios-for-performance-boost/#comments Wed, 30 Aug 2017 11:46:24 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=345581 AMD’s RX Vega 56 hit the market earlier this week, bringing Vega down to a more affordable price while still offering solid performance, particularly against Nvidia’s GTX 1070.

AMD’s RX Vega 56 hit the market earlier this week, bringing Vega down to a more affordable price while still offering solid performance, particularly against Nvidia’s GTX 1070. Now, it looks like those willing to tinker with their GPU may be able to unlock even more performance, as a user has successfully managed to flash the RX Vega 56 with the Vega 64 BIOS, bringing along a decent performance boost.

A user by the name of ‘KDtree’ over on the Chiphell forums and translated by Videocardz took on the experiment and shared his findings. After successfully flashing Vega 56 with the Vega 64 BIOS, performance tests show the latter being just two percent slower than Vega 64. This boost wasn’t achieved by unlocking more cores on the GPU, as that could not be done but the BIOS change does impact clock speeds, which is where the improvements came in.

While using the stock BIOS, the RX Vega 56 comes with a boost clock speed of 1471MHz and a memory clock of 800MHz. Meanwhile, the Vega 64 BIOS boosts this up to 1545MHz on the core and 945MHz on the memory. With this 75MHz increase in speed, the RX Vega 56 comes in at just two percent slower than its bigger brother. If you overclock further and can hit 1630MHz on the core, then the RX Vega 56 will surpass Vega 64.

The user put their modded RX Vega 56 through its paces on Fire Strike Extreme. With its standard BIOS, Vega 56 managed a GPU score of 9,452. With the BIOS mod on, this was bumped up to 10,340, meanwhile a standard Vega 64 can score 10,479 points. If you overclock the modded Vega 56 to 1630MHz, its score jumps up to 11,322.

KitGuru Says: Given that Vega ships with two BIOS’s on board, flashing it shouldn’t be too dangerous, though it will absolutely void your warranty. Alternatively, you could just try your luck with a hefty overclock to achieve similar results. Have any of you picked up a Vega GPU yet? Did you go for the 64 or the 56?

AMD finally unveiled the RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 a few days ago but official reviews won’t be going up for a little while longer. While reviewers won’t be able to share their findings, a source this week claiming to have an RX Vega 56 in hand has revealed some gaming benchmark numbers up against a GTX 1070, showing performance in DOOM, Battlefield 1 and more.

A report on Tweaktown claims to have the scoop on RX Vega 56 benchmarks. The site says it has ‘an industry source’ with access to the RX Vega 56 already, who tested the GPU in DOOM, Battlefield 1, Civilization VI and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, all at 2560×1440 up against a GTX 1070.

In Battlefield 1, the ‘Ultra’ preset was used, with the RX Vega 56 reportedly scoring just over 95 frames per second. The GTX 1070 on the other hand managed 72 frames per second. While the report doesn’t explicitly state that DX12 was used, this appears to be more in line with GTX 1070 DX12 scores, rather than DX11.

In DOOM, the RX Vega is listed as scoring j101.2 frames per second with the GTX 1070 at 84.6 frames per second. This game was run at Ultra with 8x TSAA but unfortunately, it does not state whether or not the game was run in Vulkan, DX12 or DX11. Either way though, it’s another win for AMD’s new $399 Vega.

COD:IW was running on its High preset, in this game, the RX Vega 56 is listed as scoring 99.9 frames per second while the GTX 1070 managed 92.1 frames per second. Finally, in Civ VI, Vega got 85.1 frames per second while the GTX 1070 scored 72.2 frames per second.

Now it’s worth pointing out that we can’t verify these results just yet, so we won’t know how accurate these numbers are until review samples come in. However, if these scores turn out to be right on the money, then AMD’s RX Vega 56 could overthrow the GTX 1070.

KitGuru Says: If these RX Vega 56 scores are the real deal, then AMD will be in a very good position to compete with the GTX 1070. The RX Vega 56 is the cut down version too, meaning the RX Vega 64 should be even stronger and will hopefully prove to be a good competitor to the GTX 1080.
