Introduction
RX 5600 XT is a fantastic GPU for playing games at 1440p as well as 1080p and there are dozens of editions for this GPU you can buy right now. XFX has been recently releasing unique designs for their graphics cards which although doesn’t include RGB lights or some fancy shrouds but they look much better than the standard GPU designs from different vendors.
XFX currently has Pro and Ultra editions and they are very much close to each other except for the game clocks. So, comparing the two having the same design is unnecessary. However, there are more differences in their lower and higher models such as THICC II and THICC III. So, this post is a comparison between the RX 5600 XT THICC II PRO vs THICC III PRO to find out what would be suitable for you if you are going for this GPU in your next build.

Conclusion
The Thicc II Pro has a faster memory which should make it faster than the Thicc III Pro but due to slower clock speeds in Game and OC modes, the Thicc III Pro is a winner in performance theoretically. Also, the Thicc III Pro has more headroom for overclocking due to better cooling and an extra 6 pin power connector which will result in higher performance. Both of them are good if the gap between the two is $20-$30 in price.
