Earlier this year AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 5500 XT and 5600 XT, which were targeted towards the more budget-conscious gamers. We’ve reviewed both GPUs individually recently, but now it’s time to see which one provides the better value against each other. So there you have it. As you can see from the results, the Radeon RX 5600 XT wins as expected, but that wasn’t the point of comparing the two. What matters is whether the price difference makes sense in performance and whether you’re getting a comfortable gaming experience with the Navi cards.

In their recent GDC presentation, Intel claimed that its iGPUs present in its processors can accelerate gaming performance in discrete graphics cards. This is all thanks to the updated DirectX 12 API. According to the presentation, the DX12 API can now individually recognize the iGPU in the presence of a discrete graphics card. Using the Multi-Adapter Support found in the API, the integrated graphics core can be used to boost the dGPUs performance, by offloading certain functions directly onto the integrated processor.
