In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 8GB are noticeably better than the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB.
The RX 5700 XT has a 150 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX Vega, but the RX Vega has 64 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 5700 XT. As a result, the RX Vega exhibits a 72 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RX 5700 XT. 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 150 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Render Output Units than the RX Vega. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 21.6 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 5700 XT was released over a year more recently than the RX Vega, and so the RX 5700 XT is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RX Vega.
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 Dual Fan 8GB and the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The RX 5700 XT has 192 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX Vega, which means that the memory performance of the RX 5700 XT is massively better than the RX Vega.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 8GB has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB has 3584. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5700 XT is 3170 and the actual shader performance of the RX Vega is 3494. The RX Vega having 324 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX 5700 XT performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 5700 XT transistor size technology is 7 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RX Vega. This means that the RX 5700 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RX Vega.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB requires 300 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX 5700 XT and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX Vega. The RX Vega requires 75 Watts more than the RX 5700 XT to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX Vega may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 5700 XT.

Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 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 1650 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 Dual Fan 8GB competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Kuroutoshikou Dual Fan 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 Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the Fourth (4.0) Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture The Vega 10 XL GPU offers support for HBM-2 Memory, DirectX 12.0 and Open GL 4.5. While the Radeon RX Vega Eclipse uses the same Vega 10 XT GPU as the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB, it is slightly down. This variant of the Vega 10 XL GPU with 56 Compute Units activated, offering 3584 Shader Processing Units, 224 TMUs and 56 ROPs, making it an estimated 12.5% slower than the Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce GTX 1070. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1500MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with stacked HBM-2 Memory and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 2048-bit memory interface. 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 300W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with two available 8-pin connectors. Performance Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB competes with GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, which is available for $399. Specs currently available suggest the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce GTX 1070. However, the ultra-wide HBM2 memory may offer the Radeon RX Vega an advantage at higher resolutions. System Suggestions Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB HBM2 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance.is |
