AMD unveils Radeon RX 5300 graphics card
AMD has launched the Radeon RX 5300, a budget graphics card aimed at 1080p gaming. It features 3GB of VRAM, a 100W TDP, and is positioned against NVIDIA's GTX 1650.
Given NVIDIA's rapid announcement of its RTX 3000 series graphics cards, AMD should ideally be focusing all its energy on the upcoming RX 6000 series and its flagship "Big Navi" chip. However, it seems the red team has other plans:
Yesterday, AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 5300, an entry-level product designed for budget gaming systems.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИThe AMD Radeon RX 5300 is built on the Navi 14 graphics processor. This is the same GPU found in the Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card lineup, featuring the same 22 compute units, or 1408 stream processors. The primary difference between the RX 5300 and RX 5500 lies in the GPU clock speed and VRAM configuration.
The Radeon RX 5300 GPU has a "game clock" of 1448 MHz and a "boost clock" of 1645 MHz. These speeds are 18% and 12% lower, respectively, than those of the RX 5500 XT GPU.
Additionally, the Radeon RX 5300 graphics card comes with less video memory: 3GB compared to the RX 5500's 4GB. Consequently, the RX 5300's memory bus is also narrower at just 96-bit, which, thanks to the use of GDDR6 VRAM, delivers 168 GB/s of bandwidth.
As for power consumption, the Radeon RX 5300's peak TGP is just 100W, which is 30W lower than the RX 5500 XT, for example. The card only requires a single 8-pin connector for auxiliary power.
