What does this comparison mean?
RX 6800 XT 16GB records 287 FPS compared with 126 for RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS). This RX 5600 XT result belongs specifically to the 14Gbps BIOS configuration; check the card's memory speed before using the 127.8% difference to judge an upgrade.
RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) has 6GB and RX 6800 XT 16GB has 16GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS)
This row represents the RX 5600 XT 6GB at 14 Gbps. Sapphire documented that configuration through a January 2020 BIOS update for specific matching PULSE board part numbers.
RX 6800 XT 16GB
The RX 6800 XT introduced RDNA 2 to this 16GB GDDR6 model in November 2020.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) uses the 27-card Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB family total; GPUsed has not split it by this exact variant. Full benchmark method.
