Nowadays, we have started to witness that graphics cards with low VRAM are modified with higher memory. As you may remember, we mentioned to you that the RTX 3060 6GB model was successfully renewed with 12GB VRAM. Now, the new guest of YouTuber and graphics card modder Paulo Gomes is the Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB, introduced in 2020.Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB modded with 12GB VRAM
If we recall, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, introduced in 2020 with a price tag of $ 279, appeared with a 7nm process node, 2304 stream processors, 36 CUs (processing units), 6GB GDDR6 memory and a clock speed of 1560 Mhz. When we look at the shared video, we see that the Power Color Radeon RX 5600 XT Red Dragon 6GB model is preferred for memory upgrade.
However, the modder, which replaces the memory modules on the PCB of the card with 16Gbps 12GB memories, manages to make the card fully usable after a few changes on the BIOS. However, it should be noted that this process is more complicated compared to the RTX 3060 12GB mode. As a matter of fact, a 12 GB variant of the Radeon RX 5600 XT is not available.
As for the results, the Radeon RX 5600 XT, modified with 12GB GDDR6 memory, provides a 116 percent performance increase in the Unigine Superposition test compared to the 6GB base model. At this point, the basic version has 191 points and the version with 12GB memory has 412 points. However, let us remind you that such modifications can be made by professionals and with professional equipment.
