Amd rx 5600 xt, well scale performance with memory @ 14gbps

When AMD announced its Radeon RX 5600 XT, our initial thoughts were that this graphics card could be having a good margin of overclocking for both GPU and memory.

AMD RX 5600 XT uses 12 Gbps memory in reference model

Today, new 3DMark Fire Strike scores have been leaked through _rogame, revealing a correlation between the performance of the Radeon RX 5600 XT reference model and the overclocking we can get for memory, which shows that the GPU has memory limitations in certain applications and that you could get more out of faster memory.

What is worth noting here is that these are the results of 3DMark Fire Strike; This tool is a benchmark designed for 1080p in DirectX 11. Since 3DMark Fire Strike is an older 1080p benchmark, memory bandwidth should not be a significant constraint on the performance of the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which means that the Higher resolutions, such as 1440p, may be more limited by the memory configuration chosen by AMD. The latest games would also be more limited by the 12 Gbps memory and the Radeon RX 5600 XT's 192-bit memory bus.

If we look at the scores of the 3DMark Fire Strike graphics of the Radeon RX 5600 XT, we can see that the use of GDDR6 memory speeds of 14 Gbps produces a 6.72% increase in performance, while the use of memory speeds 14.4 Gbps offers a 7.5% increase in graphics performance. These results are obtained through increases of 16.7% and 20% in total memory clock bandwidth speeds, respectively.

As we see, the performance gain can be considered as very respectable with a memory of 14 Gbps instead of 12 Gbps of the reference model.
