XFX AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 THICC III Ultra Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2020-02-12

With the release of the Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Ultra THICC III, XFX has refined the cooling system quite a bit and now we do have a card that only occupies two slots, remains cool during maximum load and at the same time the fans remain at very low noise levels. Even though the card runs with the memory at 12Gbps, the used packages are rated at 14Gbps, so we have some overclocking headroom for sure in this regard, while the GPU reaches nearly 1750MHz boost clock in Time Spy Extreme, as the manufacturer intended. XFX and AMD themselves have intended to recommend this card for 1080P resolutions while gaming, but we have seen situations when this card can handle 1440P resolutions at around 60FPS in some titles, without exceeding 140W package power.

As we have seen with the RX 5700 XT 8GB Ultra THICC III, the Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 THICC III Ultra does feature a massive heatsink that has been even more optimized than before. The plastic elements, but also the backplate are covered in a thin plastic film, to avoid any incidents during transit:

 

 

 

The card does come with a professional look, without any weird designs on the top shroud; we are dealing with two fan sizes: the ones from the sides are 90mm, while the middle one is 100mm, featuring ZeroDB Fanstop Technology:

 

 

 

In the middle of the fans we will find a metallic sticker with the XFX logo:

 

 

 

 

 

One interesting aspect to notice is that the RX 5600 XT THICC III Ultra cooling system is much slimmer than before, by occupying only two slots inside the case:

 

 

 

In the back, we will be able to take a glimpse over the internal heatsink and heatpipe terminations:
