WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.319 that looks promising that looks very promising 00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:11.040 to be clear i'm scoping out the FPS numbers not the protagonist i mean i 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.759 play this game for the gameplay compared to old-school lara croft this does look 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.760 a lot more promising new year new GPU 00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:25.760 according to the latest steam hardware survey the most popular graphics card on 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.720 the platform is still the venerable if a 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:34.160 little aging gtx 1060 and that's what we've got set up in our rig right here 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.680 and 90 of you are running at 1080p which means that you're actually getting a 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.040 pretty decent experience out of that card but 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:44.719 maybe you could use a higher frame rate right you know treat yourself the 00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:49.760 problem is that there hasn't been anything worth upgrading to from this 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.920 thing because the rtx 2060 came in at a much higher price that is to say 00:00:52.160 --> 00:01:00.640 until today meet the Radeon 5600 00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:04.800 xt what could very well be the new 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.800 budget champ or will it 00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:10.960 we'll find out after i tell you about our sponsor freshbooks freshbookis is 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.400 the accounting software that's built for how you want to work are you a small 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:20.000 business owner or a freelancer well go get it go get it the link's down below it's 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:24.970 always there it's always there 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:34.320 the first thing i want to do is acknowledge that this is going to be a little bit different from our 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:36.960 traditional GPU reviews where we say okay there's this one and there's all 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.320 these other ones and here's some bar graphs and all that kind of good stuff there will still be bar graphs and we do 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:47.600 still have this GPU and other ones but because so many of you out there are 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:52.640 running this exact graphics card we wanted to take more of a practical 00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:55.280 real-world upgrade approach to it so the first thing we're going to do is we're 00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.079 going to take our GPU test bench which is running a ryzen 3950x which has 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.439 pretty honestly pretty similar gaming performance to any Intel high-end CPU 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:10.239 from the last two or three years and then we're going to start with our 1066 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:15.120 gig in here we're going to upgrade to our 5600 xt and we're going to see how 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.959 it goes so Anthony actually do you want to jump in and get our suite rolling on 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.640 this thing one of the reasons that we have a fully built up system for GPU 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.720 testing is that we don't want to give an unfair advantage to open style coolers 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.720 like this one and this one and this one 00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:34.239 compared to blower coolers we're making these ones suck in their own 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.640 recirculated hot air just like they would in your system at home are using 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:42.879 1080 max settings on everything yes okay that makes perfect sense because much to 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:49.599 the disappointment of a lot of the enthusiast community the 5600 xt 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.280 is not really targeting your 1440p gamer 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:56.560 and there's a couple of reasons for this number one is that 1080p is still 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.640 by far the most popular gaming resolution probably in no small part 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.720 thanks to the fact that high refresh rate displays like the really high 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:09.840 refresh rate competitive ones are all still 1080 and also because well if 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.879 we're being honest AMD has had a heck of a time building anything other than atp 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.480 gaming graphics card over the last few years 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:24.959 with that said this is using the same underlying tech as the 5700 xt so this 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.120 is a full fat navi 10 GPU the main 00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.159 disadvantage here is what just clock speed then uh clock speed power target 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.319 and it has a 192 192-bit memory bus and six gigabytes of memory versus 256 and 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.720 eight gigabytes for the 5700 so that's where you're saving some money and 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:44.000 that's where you're improving your yields on the gpus but of course 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:49.040 compared to the 5700 which was really a mid-range 1440p gaming card this is a 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:53.280 high-end 1080 low-end 1440. like if you're playing 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.680 last gen titles 1440p is going to be fine but we're going to do all of our 00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:01.040 testing at 1080 with a nice fast CPU to see what kind of experience we can have 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.040 here i'm actually really excited to see the numbers from this because honestly 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:09.519 one of the best indications of how good an upcoming card is going to be 00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:14.159 is what the competitors do to react to it before you ever even get a chance to 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:18.720 benchmark the thing and NVIDIA already sent out proactive 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.440 just so you know there's some great pricing on what was it 1660 ti yeah i 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.400 think it was the ti because we're probably gonna get rid of it soon yeah 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:32.080 but like AMD did that same thing i know with mega 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:36.960 56. NVIDIA's email was this one board partner card an evga ko which 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:42.720 honestly the first time i remember them using ko was back when NVIDIA was trying 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.320 to get rid of a whack ton of like 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.960 7 800 gpus or something like that the 00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.800 first time i saw an evga ko and it was basically the last hurrah for that GPU 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.680 and then it was gone so that maybe gives us some idea of what the 00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:02.160 exit strategy there is but it also gives us some idea of how good we're expecting 00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:07.039 this thing to be NVIDIA had to react so that's a great sign because the reality 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.880 of it is the order of operations is the first ones with access to the hardware 00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.479 the manufacturers the next ones are usually their competitors somehow they 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:19.440 always have this information and then it comes to us so usually the the 4d chess 00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:23.199 is already happening before we even get to plug it into a system 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:27.600 uh one thing to note is that we're going from a single 6-pin connector to a 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.759 single 8-pin connector so that might tell us something about the power 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:34.320 consumption we can expect from the 5600 xt 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.280 i mean we already know something because it is based on the same GPU as the 00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:42.800 5700 series wait you guys were just waiting for me you didn't run any 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.639 benchmarks well they're all done oh oh right 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:53.440 okay right so that's the whole stick here so Anthony already ran the stock 00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:55.120 numbers for the 5600 xt but AMD 00:05:53.440 --> 00:06:00.080 hinted that there might be quite a bit of overclocking headroom in this card so 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.520 let's go ahead and see what we can do what utility do you use for AMD uh just 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.080 use Radeon control slopes bring it on subscribe right okay this is their new 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.919 software performance there we go tuning advanced control yeah that gives you 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.919 control over the frequency and voltage curve cool 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.840 okay so where do we want it then so we just want to expand it out as far as 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.600 it'll go i guess um 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.600 maybe yeah 00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:28.880 so they've got a much better looking interface than NVIDIA but it's 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:35.600 effectively the same thing you got you got one you got one button you press the 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.960 button well yeah there's also the um 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.560 power tuning which is the more impressive of the two well not not 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.440 really impressive but useful all right sure that looks pretty good whatever 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:48.960 okay so where's the power control here we go power tuning power limit okay yeah 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.880 so this is basically NVIDIA overclocking yep and we also can do the vram as well 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.720 max frequency okay and about 110 megahertz sure why not okay 00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:05.199 cool so let's apply that and see what happens we can also uh if you go to the fan as 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.120 well uh right now i think the max is 39 okay let's give it 80. it's not going to 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.280 instantly set it to 80. it's just the maximum that it'll request 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:16.400 play let's see if it just immediately crashes and that was a very haphazard 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:22.240 overclock it's about as much as i did when i was preparing for this so we'll see how this 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.960 works of course you don't know what the stock numbers look like oh yeah no i 00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:30.560 don't okay so i just get to be that much more impressed 00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:36.319 wow what's the pricing of this card it's 00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:39.599 this particular card is 289 289 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.360 that is a big upgrade so all of a sudden 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:45.919 you're going from 60 FPS 00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:50.000 to yeah you can comfortably justify the investment in a 120 hertz display 00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:53.440 and you're really going to be getting the most out of it especially with how 00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:57.919 affordable it is to get a free sync capable display these days yeah and the 00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:01.599 fact that most of them that say g-sync now are also freesync of course it's 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.680 easy to look good against your competitor's last gen product so 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:11.840 let's go ahead and level the playing field by bringing in the gtx 1660 super 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.639 and the ti now this one is priced a little bit 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:21.840 lower but comes in a little bit lower also performance wise whereas the 1660 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:26.479 ti is clearly the head-to-head competitor here this one is priced 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:31.759 exactly the same has a little bit less raw performance but if you care about 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:37.440 some of NVIDIA's well NVIDIA specific features not rtx mind you this is a gtx 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.479 but things like NVIDIA's touring and vent encoder which does offer better 00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:47.600 quality even if AMD does have some sort of counter punches like the fact that 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.200 theirs supports 16 streams yeah it's 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.279 it's a little bit strange considering they're otherwise very focused on gamers 00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:56.880 and gaming performance which i mean to me a higher quality 00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:02.560 encoder would make more sense than faster encoder but 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:04.800 okay oh hold on guys literally the day 00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:10.240 after we shot this video NVIDIA dropped the rtx 2060's price to 299 completely 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:14.399 invalidating our comparison against the gtx 1660 ti 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:21.279 that's a good thing for you guys but it did mean more work for us here's how the rtx 2060 00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:25.839 looks next to the rx 5600 xt as you can see AMD is still in the lead 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:30.720 here but NVIDIA's now within striking distance with a price difference of just 00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:35.839 20 dollars AMD is slightly undercutting NVIDIA with better performance but 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:40.240 if you're like me you might consider paying the extra twenty dollars and 00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:45.600 overclocking the rtx yourself to get that rtx support and the new end bank 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.600 encoder regardless that's great news for 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.760 everyone because not only is there a new card on the block but at least it's 00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:56.399 competitive in this price range bringing other more expensive hardware down in 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:59.839 price so yeah that's great just too bad it couldn't have got here sooner 00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:03.680 see ya that's just me not everyone cares about 00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:08.800 the encoder that's built into their GPU anyway though not everybody streams on 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:13.120 twitch tv for example so when it comes time to choose your next upgrade the 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:19.760 only thing we really know for sure here is that you probably shouldn't pick up a 00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:22.079 gtx 1060 at 289 dollars but either team 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:26.160 red or team green has a legitimate offering especially once you factor in 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.560 the generous head room for overclocking on the 5600 xt another interesting point 00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:34.560 is that we don't actually know that that's the limit for these things that 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:39.040 was the end of the slider and Anthony was trying to use a soft power play 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:43.040 table in order to increase it but that seems to be locked down now AMD has 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:47.040 hinted that they might unlock more capabilities in the future yeah they 00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:50.240 didn't say anything substantial about it they just said that well we'll look at 00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:54.399 it when we know more about the reliability figures we just don't want 00:10:51.839 --> 00:11:00.000 boards to go up and smoke so that makes sense it does make sense 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:02.320 speaking of going up in smoke my 00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:07.200 attempts to pretend that i care about the quality of
