Good price for best performing RX5600XT according to Hardware Unboxed. Comes with either Godfall or WoW Shadowlands codes.

Suitable for high refresh 1080p gaming at high/ultra and 1440p 30/60fps at optimised settings.

Retails on Amazon for $498.34. Has the best cooling solution out of the premium models and better build quality then price equivalent RTX 2060 cards (EVGA RTX 2060 KO).

Product page

Other models to consider:
Gigabyte gaming oc for $454.42 shipped - Gaming X has better cooling and build.
Sapphire Pulse for $449.50 shipped with Prime - Coin toss between the two. Gaming X has a bit of RGB if that's your thing and slightly better cooling.

If you need a decent GPU now and don't care about the nVidia benefits (DLSS, RTX, machine learning compute) it's a decent buy. Don't forget if you have price protection on your credit card you could claim future price drops which are likely to happen with AMD cards.

Let the Ampere/RDNA2/driver comments roll in. Rajeh vs Jasswolf round 2.

EDIT1: Looks like they've increased the price and its now $521.10 after code. However, the Gigabyte gaming OC version has gone down to $440.10 with code.

  This cooler is already great dare I say it overkill on an RX 5700 XT, I don't think it'll need to spin it's fans for an RX 5600 XT lol.

    It's a three way battle between this, gaming oc and pulse for quietest

      Gaming X > Gaming OC > Pulse. While the Gaming X is short it makes up for it with a very wide heatsink.

  Not sure its good time buy 5600 xt card even for 350-400…and even this good of a card. New gen cards are about to be annouced and current prices will plummit…its just a waiting game now :)

    It'll be interesting to see the resale value of the first gen Navi cards after the RDNA2 announcement.

      Markets won't see the real impact until December at the earliest, likely next year

    current prices will plummit

    Not sure about that, it'll still be a while before the next gen cards are available, and we don't know anything about them yet.

    No waiting if just need a card for a game now. $399-$449 for 5600xt is good for a year, resale for $300 and upgrade it to the new rDNA 2 next black Friday.

  This might be a stupid question but would this allow me to use Solidworks, do some occasional 4K video editing, and play Microsoft's new flight simulator with average graphics settings on a FreeSync UHD 60Hz monitor without any troubles?

  I'm tempted to grab one of these now or in the coming weeks (when/if prices drop) to use while I wait for the more affordable NVIDIA 3000 series cards to become available (or for the higher-end 2000 series cards to drop in price).

    Solidworks is manageable, but it doesn't perform as good on AMD as on Nvidia. It really depends on what workloads you are doing, and getting a better gpu doesn't help with buggy performance. It's good enough for 4K video editing

    You're likely looking at 25-30 FPS on Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 (Medium Graphics) which is enough for most people.
    It really depends on the graphic settings you wish to play it on with it being more playable with lower graphic settings and lower resolutions.
    Most people say 25+ FPS is enough for flight sim and even the best GPUs atm (2080TI) only scores around 40-50FPS on medium 4k

    If you're not running something insane like Blender environmental rendering with lighting etc, I would probably go for the high end 2000 (2070 super, 2080) series cards if you're able to afford them. Budget 3000 series cards will likely take a while before they come out (3060, 3070) since Nvidia always releases high end variants first.

    I'm playing fs2020 now with 5600xt. 4k ultra 15fps. 1080p ultra lock to 30fps GPU usage 20%. I'll try 60hz and let you know. I choose AMD because of hackingtosh. Otherwise I'd go for 2060s 2070s.
    Apple use 5500xt for their new working stations. I guess 5600xt should be fine to cut movies unless every second/minute counts.

  Lower tier 5600xt variants have sold for under $400 recently, I wouldn't be spending $450 on a 5600xt (this triple slot cooler does look very nice though, but overkill)
