ASUS TUF Gaming X3 Radeon RX 5600 XT Review

We all know and love the ROG or Republic of Gamers brand. However, it comes at a price that some either can’t or just won’t play for. For enthusiasts that love ASUS quality, but not the ROG price tag, there is the ASUS TUF brand. TUF stands for The Ultimate Force. TUF branded products give you the same ASUS quality, at a slightly lower price tag than its ROG counterpart. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the ASUS TUF 5600 XT, the OC version. With 6GB of GDDR6 memory, a base clock speed of 1660 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1770 MHz, the ASUS TUF 5600 XT is a budget-oriented card designed for 1080p gaming. The 2.7 slot design on the ASUS TUF 5600 XT gives the card a massive heat sink to keep the card running cool even under a heavy load. So, we put the ASUS TUF 5600 XT through its paces and our suite of benchmarks to see if AMD is truly the king of budget cards.
