In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB.
The RX 5600 XT has a 17 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 570. This results in the RX 5600 XT providing 21.1 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5600 XT has a 17 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the RX 570. This results in the RX 5600 XT providing 38.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5600 XT was released over a year more recently than the RX 570, and so the RX 5600 XT is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RX 570.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RX 5600 XT has 2048 MB more video memory than the RX 570, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 5600 XT also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 5600 XT has 64 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 570, which means that the memory performance of the RX 5600 XT is much better than the RX 570.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5600 XT is 2396 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2548. The RX 570 having 152 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX 5600 XT performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 5600 XT transistor size technology is 7 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RX 570. This means that the RX 5600 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RX 570.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB requires 150 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 570 4GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RX 5600 XT and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX 5600 XT requires 30 Watts more than the RX 570 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the RX 5600 XT to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RX 570.

| Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB is an mid-tier gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture. Architecture The Navi 10 XL GPU offers support for GDDR6 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenGL 4.5. GPU This variant of the Navi 10 XL GPU features 36 Compute Units activated, offering 2304 Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GPU features a 1375 MHz base clock speed and up to 1560 MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated 20% slower than a Radeon RX 5700 8GB. This puts its predicted performance at roughly 20% faster than a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with 6GB high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 192-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 6GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 1080p Gaming. In some limited scenarios at 1440p resolution, 6GB video memory might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 150W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with available 8+8-pin connector. Performance AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB competes with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti which is available for $329. System Suggestions The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2650 x 1480 but is ideally suited for 1920 x 1080. For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 1080p. We recommend a mid-tier CPU and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. These new AMD Radeon RX 500 series cards are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This RX 570 graphics card is one of the higher performance models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series. The AMD RX 570 4GB graphics card released in April 2017 as an AMD performance gaming graphics card. This card competes against Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti and replaces the older Radeon RX 470. As a Polaris refresh, the RX 570 runs at a slightly faster clock speed than the RX 470. Architecture It is powered by the 14nm Pollaris 20 GPU, which has 2048 shader processing units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1168MHz and goes up to 1244MHz, when the boost mode is triggered. Memory The RX570 comes with a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 400W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance The AMD RX 570 has been built as a Mid/High performance graphics card for 2017. It will run most triple AAA titles released during 2017 on medium to high graphics at 1080p screen resolution. With adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX570 4GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The RX 570 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range R5 Ryzen processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 570. | |||
