because is the same silicon chipset just with more compute cores, stream processors enable, high grade chipset become 580/590, low quality chipsets become 570, same as CPUs that low quality chips end being low tier, they are just the same but with some deffective cores that get disabled. In the end is the same Polaris 10 chip.

That wasn't my point..I know what it is. But why it reports all those names..It could surely have the correct name by checking how many stream processors are enabled or whats the powerlimit or whatnot
Or just by reading the device string reported from the host OS.
it reports as a 5700xt, but it's a 5600xt.

No OC on my side.
I read about issues with it's vbios and the journey to flash it here and part two here but I still have to read into the details.
It feels like it's underperforming.
UPDATE:
I checked the bios with amdvbflash and the "latest" I find on techpowerup is XFX.RX5600XT.6144.200327.rom
Product Name is : NAVI10 A1/A2 D1990301 XLE 6GB 300e/875m
Device ID is : 731F
Bios Version : 017.001.000.068.000000
Bios P/N is : 113-170WCNAVIXLE6
Bios SSID : 5710
Bios SVID : 1682
Bios Date is : 03/27/20 21:25
while the vBios I extracted from the GPU is already
Product Name is : NAVI10 A1/A2 D18903 XLE 6GB 300e/875m
Device ID is : 731F
Bios Version : 017.001.000.068.000000
Bios P/N is : 113-160WDNAVIXLE6
Bios SSID : 5710
Bios SVID : 1682
Bios Date is : 05/14/20 02:16
So I guess I'm uptodate as long as I can not find any more recent vBios for this GPU.

Too bad that this cards cannot be bios modded, like polares did, if I understand correctly now you might brick your card if you flash a modded bios.

I researched somewhat and it looks like my precise model is XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT THICC III Pro 14Gbps 6GB GDDR6 and XFX has currently no more recent vBios so I'm good on this.
Interesting is that it has a vBios switch. The switch position closer to the power connector is "performance" mode while there is also a quiet mode. I wonder.. mine is currently on performance and in idle I have 15W consumption and 0 rpm on the fan. That sounds awesome to me :D
can't remember which brand, but there's only 1 model that's was left with the 12Gbps bios. Mine had the old bios at 12Gbps and now it's 14Gbps.
Also just realised that I never added my Vega 7 to it
Edit , Maybe not. Don't have write access to the spreadsheet
Here's mine, its only a year + late
