  • Smooth 1080p gaming without stutter
  • Fits small cases with ease
  • Drinks less power than rivals
Cons
  • No real ray tracing performance
  • Older architecture shows its age
  • Limited to six gigabytes VRAM

Verdict

Our verdict on the RX 5600 OEM

This is a RDNA 1.0 card meant for prebuilt PCs, but its main caveat is a narrow memory bus that hurts it at higher resolutions.

Get it if you need a cheap, decent 1080p card for older games and can handle the OEM-only quirks. Skip it if you want modern features or plan to play newer, demanding titles.

Buy it if…

  • You need a solid 1080p card without spending on ray tracing.
  • You are building a secondary PC with a used or OEM system.
  • You want a low-power upgrade from an older budget GPU.
