Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon RX 5600 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon RX 5600 scores 11,753 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) architecture (codename: Navi 10), manufactured on a 7 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2304 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 144 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 5.829 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1265 MHz from a base of 1035 MHz.
