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.

A Closer Look Part III

The new THICC III Ultra frame does also have additional cut-outs for a better airflow, XFX naming it “enhanced open-air design”:

On the bottom we do have a large backplate, that houses a large XFX middle logo:

Near the 8+6-pin PCIe power connectors, we will also spot the Dual BIOS switch:

On the I/O, we will find three DisplayPort 1.4 HDR ports and one HDMI 2.0b:

Removing the heatsink assembly is a pretty simple process; we need to remove the spring-loaded screws around the GPU, the two screws in the VRM area but also two screws that are fixed to the plastic frame in the back:

In the middle we will get to see the Navi 10 GPU, which is surrounded by only 6 memory packages:

Nearby we will be able to spot the NCP81022 controller from OnSemi which takes care of the dual-phase memory VRM:

The MOSFET drivers are OnSemi 302045:

The memory packages are manufactured by Micron and have the D9WCW internal code name. These are approved to operate at 1750MHz, so 14Gbps GDDR6 effective is possible with this board via manual overclocking:
