AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT now on sale, supported with latest driver update

Following its debut at CES 2020 AMD’s new Radeon RX 5600 XT is now on sale. Coinciding with the graphics card’s launch, AMD has also rolled out a fresh software update for its driver suite. Coming in at version 20.1.3, the latest update adds support for the new card, along with a bevy of bug fixes and a healthy list of known issues.

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is meant to bring plenty of horsepower for 1080p gaming, sitting just below the current RX 5700 in AMD’s roster. The card is packed with 36 compute units, a 1375Mhz base clock with a 1560Mhz boos clock, and 6GB of GDDR6 memory. The card is built on AMD’s 7nm process using its latest RDNA architecture, much like the rest of the RX 5000 series.

Here’s a look at the release notes for the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.1.3 update:
