What does this comparison mean?
The RX 7800 XT raises capacity from the RX 5600 XT's 6GB to 16GB and records a much higher average. The starting card is specifically the 14Gbps configuration, not the separate 12Gbps BIOS result.
RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) has 6GB and RX 7800 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 7800 XT 16GB
The RX 7800 XT combines RDNA 3 with 16GB of GDDR6. It became available in September 2023 alongside the 12GB RX 7700 XT.
Release and feature sources: RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) source · RX 7800 XT 16GB source.
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.
