SAPPHIRE RX 5600 XT Pulse Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an action role-playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to 2014’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 10, 2017. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Ultra preset, DX11 API.

Moving onto Middle Earth Shadow of War, here we see one of the biggest performance wins for the RTX 2060 – before updating the 5600 XT BIOS, the Nvidia card was 12% faster at 1080p. While updating the BIOS brought about an 11% improvement for the 5600 XT, it still couldn't match the 2060.

At 1440p, the 5600 XT falls further behind – not by much, but there's now a 4% gap between it and the RTX 2060. Before updating the BIOS, however, that gap was 15%, so again we can see just how much difference that extra GPU and memory frequency makes.
