AMD released their 5600 XT in the 1080p gaming range to compete with the Nividia gtx 1660ti in the 300$ range. But just before the release Nvidia lowered the price of their Rtx 2060(6gb) model to 300$ making AMD to release a new bios increasing the performance of the 5600xt to compete with the rtx 2060. With the bios coming late some cards may come with old bios so you may wanna upgrade.
ASRock ASRock has a Windows based 1-click updater, released yesterday, that delivers “enhanced performance” while weighing in at only 1.11MB. Like many other vendors, as you will find below, “ASRock assumes no responsibility for any damages caused by improper operations of downloading or updating the vBIOS,” which isn’t nice. As always, please read through the install guide carefully before commencing. Links: ASRock RX 5600 XT Phantom Gaming D3 | ASRock RX 5600 XT Phantom Gaming D2 | ASRock RX 5600 XT Challenger D
ASUS
At the time of writing Asus doesn’t appear to have any BIOS updates for its AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT based graphics cards. This might be because it held back on shipping them as day one reviews of its new products were rare. At the time of writing the ‘ROG-STRIX-RX5600XT-O6G-GAMING’ card downloads / utility section of the Asus support website was empty, for example. On its official product pages the new uplifted GPU speeds seem to have been applied.
Gigabyte Gigabyte provides a Windows-based tool for updating its Radeon 5600x gaming graphics card(GV-R56XTGAMING OC-6GD). You have a choice of two BIOS files to apply, and one pumps up the TGP to 180W and boosts GPU clocks as high as 1750MHz, and memory speeds up to 14Gbps. The other BIOS sticks at 150W and includes some fixes to “improve stability”. Gigabyte’s other RX 5600 XT, a Windforce OC model, hasn’t got a new BIOS at the time of writing.
MSI
If you bought an MSI branded RX 5600 XT card for using in Windows, please use the Dragon Centre app to find and update the graphics card BIOS. As an MSI card owner you likely already use this app as it covers Afterburner tuning and Mystic Light configurations, as well as this BIOS updater tool.
PowerColor Owners of RX 5600 XT series graphics cards from PowerColor can find two BIOS files here. If you have a RedDragon or RedDevil you are asked to download the appropriate sub-1MB DOS-based updater to apply the latest BIOS update. The archive you download includes instructions of how to prepare a DOS bootable USB drive (using Rufus), to get your update applied to your system
Sapphire
Last but not least, if you have acquired one of Sapphire’s Pulse Radeon RX 5600 XT OC Edition GPUs, you can easily find the dual-BIOS update by visiting the official product page. Scroll down a little and you will find a v1.01 BIOS file which enables the following two modes:
- Performance Mode BIOS auto-executable file: BIOS_update_SW_right.bat
TGP: 160W, Memory Clock 14 GBPS, Boost Clock 1750 MHz, Game Clock 1615 MHz. - Silent Mode BIOS auto-executable file: BIOS_update_SW_left.bat
TGP: 135W, Memory Clock 12 GBPS, Boost Clock 1620 MHz, Game Clock 1460 MHz.
