Two generations old but in mint condition, for a bit more than a Benjamin.

so you don't have to worry whether it was crunching away on Ethereum mining for a few years.

I've ordered cards from Ebay before that I know had been used for mining (because of the custom BIOS that ws present once received) or it was honestly/explicitly stated in the listings.

Never had a problem with any of the former mining cards. They all played games just fine despite having been worked hard. For those cards with a custom BIOS, it was just one flash away from stock and again, the cards functioned as expected.

My old video card was a 5700 XT and it ran 1440p fine at 60 or so on most older games. I had to set some settings lower to handle it but it worked out and looked good. A 5600XT should be ok at 1440p 60 if you set everything to low.
Also for such a low cost card you can try mega-overclocking it and see if it might just do a little more.

It's (probably) not really an RX 5600 XT. It's another of the RX 5600 OEM (non-XT) models. The product title:

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 5600 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 Video Card RX5600 CLD 6G

Note that it doesn't say XT in there. So, if I'm right, then the specs are partly wrong. It does not have 2304 Stream Processors, and is not a 150W card, despite what NewEgg says, but instead 2048 Stream Processors, and about 125W.

A similar thing happened with both the 2-fan and 3-fan Phantom Gaming variants of this, which I went into for a bit in this thread.

I mean, is it POSSIBLE that it's actually a 5600 XT? Maybe. But, judging by the other two where the product description does not include "XT", this is probably also the OEM version, and the Stream Processors spec is wrong.

BUT . . absolutely, still the best performing card you can get new with a full 3-year warranty at this price point. It's cheaper than any new GTX 1660Ti, 1660 super, 1660, or 1650, or than any RX 5500 XT, 6400 or 6500 XT, and outperforms them all.

If it’s the 5600xt, I had one of those for a bit last year before picking up a 6800xt on a sale. Not a bad card at all for a budget. For that money I’d say if someone is running an old or low end gpu, get it for that money.

For $110 bucks that level of power with 6GB on a 192 bit bus is an absolutely smoking deal. That’s about 15-20% better performance than a 3050 8GB at half the price. Or it’s like 30-40% faster than a 3050 6GB for only 60% of the price. Then, even compared to a rx6600/xt, it’s still more performance per dollar.

Only way to know for sure would be to buy it, but ASRock doesn't list any RX 5600 cards on its site. That doesn't prove it's an XT, but the specs on Newegg are also identical to the ASRock 5600 XT specs. Then again, we also have this whopper of a product image:

RX 6000 series! Amazing. 😀

Welp, I posted this card in Reddit under r/buildapcsales, with the thread being here.

While this would easily be worth it even if it had the cut-down RX 5600 OEM chip, if you scroll down and look for posts by a user called Cap-_-merica, they've posted screenshots, as well as some info from the box, that seem to indicate that this is a full blown 5600 XT. I'm hoping that was the case for the whole batch, rather than just a few people getting lucky.

Edit: to clarify, the box info suggests 5600 OEM, but the GPU-Z shows 5600 XT.
