The new AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards are built upon the company's new RDNA graphics architecture, which is codenamed Navi. They employ a new 7nm manufacturing process, which is touted to improve performance while drawing less power. The two cards support interfacing with X570 chipset-based motherboard, on the PCIe 4.0 interface with compatible Ryzen 3000-series CPUs. The Radeon RX 5700 XT features 40 compute streams and comes with 2,560 stream processors.
As we noted in our review, “The new architecture is not only performing better than competing solutions but is also better priced and thus offering better value for money in the Indian market.” You can read our full review of the Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU here. As for the RX 5700, it features 36 compute units with 2,304 stream processors. Both the GPUs feature 8GB GDDR6 memory.
