PC Drivers & Software

I have a Sapphire Pulse Rx 5600 XT ( 299-5E411-202SA ) but it is worse than my previous card Rx 580. When i see some performance videos on youtube i can't believe it. Because of my card running bad.. fps drops, low fps and something like that. My build ; Gigabyte b450 gaming x / Ryzen 5 3600 / Rx 5600 xt / 2*8 2665mhz ram / 600W 80+ PSU. #rx 5600xt #huge fps drop #lowfps

I have the same problem, fps is very low on most games when compared to RX 580 or 590.

I also just got the 5600 XT 299-5E411-202SA  and I'm wondering what is going on with it. It seems to be under performing.

I think there is a problem with this series i hope it is about software if it's hardware problem, sapphire must do something about it

I think Sapphire is not a good brand compared to Gigabyte/ASUS/MSI.

I think Sapphire is a good option for AMD cards my previous cards was sapphire too but there is a problem with '202SA' i don't know why.

Have a Gigabyte RX590 REV 2.0 (bought REV 1.0 - got scammed).
Very flimsy construction.
Sidewall of GPU cooler flexes.
 
However it seems to perform quite well according to some tests.
I think it is underreporting GPU Power consumption in Wattman by ~ a factor of 2 though.
I am sure that is just an innocent bug in Wattman.

However if you can still get an RX590 8GB I would try it a non Gigabyte version.
They seem much more stable than Fiji or Vega GPUs at least.
Guess that is what happens since RX590 is third attempt at RX480 and Polaris is AMD only real GPU with some market share, even if it is still tiny.

I'm having the same issue. Had RX580 and upgraded to 5600XT and I'm getting very similar results in Call of Duty Warzone and Fortnite. Did you get any solution?

My specs - MSI 5600 XT Gaming X, Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2, i7 4790, 16gb 1600mhz DDR3 Corsair Dominator, Asus Maximus VII Ranger, Samsung 850 evo 500gb SSD, Crucial MX500 500gb SSD, Corsair RM750 power supply

did you manage to solve this problem ?

I think I did, I updated the bios on the card which helped but a fresh install of windows really helped.

I also switched from a 4790 to 4790k and got a massive performance improvement. Looking at benchmarks of people with the 4790k and rx580 it was similar to what I had with rx580 and 4790 non-k which means the CPU wasn't bottlenecking the GPU which seemed to be my issue in warzone.
