AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT — Benchmarks & Specs

6 GB VRAM

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT generates 22.4 tokens/sec on Qwen3 1.7B (q8_0) under vllm in a single cited run, per vllm GitHub; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 6 GB of VRAM holds up to Mistral 7B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (3 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 5600 XT?

At 1440p Medium, the Radeon RX 5600 XT averages 70 fps in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, per Tom's Hardware. In a batched serving run it reaches 22.4 tokens/sec aggregate throughput (many concurrent requests, not one user's generation speed) running Qwen3 1.7B at q8_0 under vllm, per vllm GitHub. In 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics Score) it scores 20,764 points, per PCTestBench. It has 6 GB of VRAM, and the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is Phi-3.5 mini (3.8B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 14.2 tokens/sec under Ollama, per LocalLLaMA Reddit. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Radeon RX 5600 XT, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from. Batched serving runs are listed separately below.
Model Quantization Relative Tokens/sec VRAM used Source
Llama 3.2 3B q4_K_M llama.cpp 18.7 tok/s 2.1 GB llama.cpp GitHub 2024-01-12
Phi-3.5 mini q4_K_M Ollama 14.2 tok/s 1.9 GB LocalLLaMA Reddit 2024-02-17

Batched serving throughput

Aggregate output tokens per second on the Radeon RX 5600 XT summed across many concurrent requests (serving runtimes such as vLLM). This is total server throughput, not one user's generation speed — each request generates far slower — so these rows are not comparable with the single-stream table above.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the Radeon RX 5600 XT — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
