In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB are marginally better than the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB.
The RX 5700 XT has a 165 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the RX 5700 XT. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 26.4 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 165 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5700 XT and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 10.6 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 less than a year after the RX 5700 XT, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 MSI Mech 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 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 MSI Mech 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB are the same, which means the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 XT have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB and the Radeon RX 5700 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB have 2560 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the RX 5700 XT has 26.4 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate and 10.6 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate, but the has GB/sec greater memory bandwidth. Overall, the RX 5700 XT has slightly better performance.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 5700 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB requires 225 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the RX 5700 XT and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX 5700 XT. The two GPUs require the same amount of wattage to run. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.

Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 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 750W PSU with one available 8+6-pin connector. Performance The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 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 XT Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture.
