In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB are very slightly better than the AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB.
The RX 5700 XT has a 140 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 5700. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 45.8 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 5700 XT has a 140 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5700 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 8.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
Both the Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 8GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.
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 Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 8GB are the same, which means the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 5700 8GB has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5700 XT is 3170 and the actual shader performance of the RX 5700 is 2583. The RX 5700 XT having 587 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 5700 XT delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 5700.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 5700 8GB requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX 5700 XT and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the RX 5700. The RX 5700 XT requires 45 Watts more than the RX 5700 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 5700 XT may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 5700.

| Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB is an Enthusiast 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. This variant of the Navi 10 XL GPU features 40 Compute Units activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GPU features a 1605 MHz base clock speed and up to 1905 MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated 15% faster than a Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce RTX 2080. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1605 MHz, rising to 1905 MHz with boost clock enabled. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 8GB. 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 4K Gaming, In some limited scenarios, 8GB 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 225W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with one available 8+6-pin connector. Performance The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 4K. We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture.
