Guys. Asus recently released bios update for this card. and it fixed the problem.
i had the same overheating and loud fan noise problem. after updating the bios. everything is fixed now. bump my comment up so that people will notice this news.
Its been pretty mixed. A lot of others havent had this issue. Hardware Canucks for instance. I suspect earlier versions of the card were not as bumped up for power draw and clocks, and Asus made a last minute decision to add extra power. Either case, bios update fixes. Shame HU got the bad card.
Are you working for Asus, or they really Fixed the problem with this long and heavy video card
@@mountanarivera4450 They fixed it. You can see it on their website if you go under support / drivers / bios. Read the description on the bios.
@@masterchief2739 still the problem with Asus ROG Strix RX 5700XT is their Dimension, it's long, and heavy and for sure it's going to Sag, I hope Asus will release the Asus RX 5700XT Dual Fan EVO
How do i get that bios update?
so to summarize - to achieve same gaming performance as any other 5700 XT card Strix is:
pulling more power
therefore is getting hotter
therefore fans are louder
and on top of all that it's the most expensive 5700 XT
what a deal...
Ah yes, the ASUS tax.
Nitro does the same when it comes to power consumptions but Nitro temps are much much better than strix lol
ASRock taichi is more at $480
@@coap819 at least with Apple tax you get something special, but this? Isn't worth it. Other cards like MSI Gaming have excellent RGB too, so the RGB feature the Strixx has isn't standing out anymore.
@@eazen you expect something special from Apple? Wow lol
Got this for about €100 off now on an early black Friday sale, with 2 €60 games. It runs significantly cooler than your tests. Never gotten it over 70°C and I've not heard the fans all that much. Usually around 65°C in regular gaming, and got it to exactly 70°C in stress tests.
Asus can never seem to get their AMD cards right. I have a friend who had endless headaches with his Vega 64 Strix.
My brother has one and had no problems so far
True... I returned my Vega 56 last week because the VRMs temp got over 110°! A well known problem since day 1, but they did nothing to fix it. Asus is just selling overpriced crap these days.
Vega 56 Strix. No problem
Tristan Zipp I am glad to see the back of my ASUS vega 56. Got the gigabyte gaming oc rx5700xt. Massive quality and quality of life improvement.
SubZero8007 This is precisely my vega 56 strix experience. Gigabyte rx5700xt oc now and I don’t miss the ASUS card one bit.
75% more metal in heat sink and running hotter than Nitro+ ?
that is a massive fail
I read it as: this card is so poorly designed it needs 75% metal and still runs hotter than the card with lightest h/sink
Because the Nitro+ is from a brand that has the highest experience with designing and optimizing AMD GPUs. Sapphire does care, Asus doesn't.
I will be buying the Nitro as the Sapphire Cards I have bought have always performed well for their price!
Asus in going down hill.
I think AMD's latest silicon really likes to be close to this sweet spot from the factory. Adding more voltage doesn't scale performance, it just makes more heat.
Big brands like msi and Asus have become complacent bc of how big they're "gaming" branding has become, just look at the price premiums for these cards, sapphire/ASRock/powercolor for me Everytime
Steve, you've got my life in your hands.
waiting on that round up video before buying my 5700/5700xt.
hands down best overall coverage on youtube, keep it up.
No one's gonna mention the fact that Steve had a graphics box on his lap the whole time haha.
is this a graphics box in your pants..or...you just happy to see me *-*)
Maybe 5500x
It's better than the gaming X reveal where he pulled 1 middle sized and 3 quite massive cards
Steve has endless amount of everything on his lap. Have you seen "best B450 mobos" video? Like 10 of them ;-) When he runs out of storage space in the house, he always offers free space on his lap ha ha ha
3:39 shoutout to that one upside-down choke
quality Asus
thanks i hate it
Some people see absolutely meaningless things 😂 I like it
Someday Mr. Hardware Unboxed will run out of new Rx 5700XT & 5700's to review. That day is not today!
In my country is waaay too expensive vs other brands like sapphire or xfx...
odakle ste gospon
no shit
pinas?
Darko Kutleša it’s not just your country, Strix cards are overpriced
Opposite for me. Sapphire and xfx has to be imported, and the strix is the same price as the reference card.
Randomly click on UA-cam, see HWUB 5700XT review...get excited. See "Posted 44 seconds ago"...well hot damn! Speaking of Hot Damn...wow, that card runs obnoxiously hot. Is there any chance of Asus fixing that with a BIOS update in future? Or is it STRIXtly FUBAR?
a dutch website reviewed this about a month ago with much different results, it was the quietest after the Gaming X from MSI but has highest speeds and lowest temps. (VRM not tested) makes me wonder what the difference is in testing!
After seeing how bad the Strix Vega 64/56 have been i guess they cant, they just did slap the cooler on there too and did not care about the Temps the cards will reach, especialy the memory got like 115C° on them.
@@legarambor I am willing to bet they tested in an open test bench, with direct airflow. Common among many reviews, sadly.
@@DasRauchendeGnu as a Vega 56 owner (Arez Crew, may the NVidia GPP never be forgotten!), you're not wrong. Had to buy some Thermal Grizzly pads and "fix" it. Dropped about 5c from that.
@@bigbuckoramma tell me about it. Reference model here and needed water cooling mine. Too damn loud and hot. Love amd and I'm glad they finally made an efficient cards with Navi.
Bought a red devil, 140 bucks cheaper then this card 👍
and much cooler
And much more original.
holy shit, 140 bucks??? Red Devil (€ 500,-) atm is more expensive in my country (NL) than the ROG strix (€ 475,-)
@@legarambor In my country (SVK), Red Devil is not sold. Strix goes for 564€ (with 20% VAT), Nitro+ for 513€, MSI Gaming X for 499€ and cheapest Pulse is 470€. Insanity. So I just bought reference card for 410€ and use headphones 😂
@@michaltkac2046 Use the 1$ dollar fix from Gamer Nexus ! Or buy an aftermarket cooler
In the deep darkness of the 41st millennium it is said that that almost half of all 5700xt's have now been reviewed.
god, they are REALLY milking that design
Doubles as a diving board as long as you have enough flex in your mobo!
If you ever get an opportunity to review the Red Dragon - the smallest of the 5700XT cards, I'd be interested.
I appreciate all the reviews of all the different 5700XT cards! The ROG Strix seems like overkill and perhaps more appropriate for a 5800 or 5800XT.
for my 2080 strix during the 20 year anniversary of Asus paid 2070 price for it so happy with it. never hits above 65c even when overclocked to the limit
Just got my 5700xt tuf from Asus. Really build well. Maybe it would be cool to check it out and compair it directly to the Strix
Bear's Blend oof
Please review the asus tuf model. There is literally no review of that one..
ua-cam.com/video/OJU8jKIYtS4/v-deo.html
It was reviewed already... And it is not "good" to say it kindly
I think they're using high leakage binned chips that use more power but can scale better with temperature and voltage.
You guys make some of the best gpu reviews! I can always be assured that they will be very thorough, unbiased, and fair. As well as covering everything like noise and temps not just the rgb or fps etc like some UA-camrs. I am really looking forward to the AMD RX 5500 cards if they will make any affordable ITX units. I have a used RX 580 8gb but its a bit tight in the silverstone sg13 itx case so if the 5500 is itx and not too expensive I might sell my rx 580 and get the rx 5500. If it's a good upgrade of course. Might be better to just wait a few years now that I finally have a good gaming PC.
I bought it. Where I live the price of this was only ~$40 more than the other models. But I’ve been having disappointing thermal results too and trying to figure out why. Now I know
Simply undervolt the card, reduce everything a bit, and get a actually efficient GPU. Gamers Nexus does a series for fixing GPUs as they lately did for the Thicc, this one deserves one too. It is a failed design more or less. Ultra heavy cooler but worse than a 75% lighter cooler? Okay.
Another day, another top notch rx5700xt review, keep up the great work!
Hardware Canucks, Techtesters, Vortez - all said it runs great and temps in the 60's. Also, Buildzoid broke down this card and showed it has tough VRMs. This is an overclockers card and it will out clock any other air cooled card, something not talked about here. Also, Asus release a bios update to address the power efficiency complaints.
I have MSI RX 5700 XT Gaming X and undervolted the Card to 1050mV. I changed Powerlimit from 219 W to 185. The Card is now near silent with 35 dB and clocks between 1880 and 1980 MHz when gaming.
So it's Quiet, cool, strong performing and still only draws 185 W.
Got the Card on Black Friday with an Amazon Coupon for 370€. To be honest it looks a lot better than the Strix.
Good review and good job as usual from you all. Hope you get to review the Red Dragon 5700 XT , would be nice to see how much difference there is between a low and high end AIB. The Red Dragon is only 10€ over reference around here.
Hope you add PowerColor vanilla 5700XT to roundup. Everyone seems to ignore the vanilla 5700XT 2fan design from PowerColor and it's the cheapest 2fan 5700XT in Europe. So that would be interesting. Sadly everyone reviews their higher end 5700XT products: Red Dragon and Red Devil but skips vanilla one : x
just picked one up at a micro center parking lot deal for $150 it is a problem one. i managed to fix it at home with what i had. card working great.
Have you tried Undervolting?
I got a Vega 64 RedDevil and undervolt plus higher power target is the best way to increase perfomnace significantly.
Powercolor card quality was poor. I had 2 the Red Devil RX 5700 XT and returned it and had another one and also returned that one. Always green screen when playing GPU heavy games and the computer restarts. Then I switched it to Asus ROG Strix RX 5700 XT and it works like a charm. And I can run this with 1900mhz, 1000mv stable while using the only 184w in a full load. Tested in 3Dmark Spy and OCCT 6.1.0 and monitored with HWINFO64. Highest temp 60c.
(Stock card 2050, 1200mv)
Re: the high temps in this test. This was done in OCT, and I have since learned, there was a problem with how ASUS put the 5700 heatsinks together. Now apparently, all models of 5700 shipped around Jan 2020, have rectified this problem, so, in principle, this should result in lower temps. This matters to me since I am beginning to think about upgrading my R9 390 with a 5700...something. Not decided.

“The most expensive 5700XT”
PowerColor: Hold my water
This is a great card with enormous unvervolting potential. As it is with AMD. Hope we see your hands on it Steve. Make it nice and smooth.
So, the Strix has the most efficient pcb according to AHOC, but according to you it's a power hog? I have this card. Runs in the 60c sometimes hitting 70c at 2055 mhz oc mode while being fairly quite. I havent tried manually over clocking it with powerplay tablets. Now wondering if I should of held out for the Red Devil. Here in the U.S. these sell out in the matter of a day sometimes hours and no clue if I will be able to buy a Red Devil at regular prices anytime soon. I'm happy with my Strix though I would think all Strix cards are binned.
My Asus ROG Strix RX 5700 XT is literally the best card I've ever got. The temps don't go over 65c ever. I've only seen it hit 67 like once or twice while stress testing it. I guess I got a good card.
Funny enough, the strix costs about the same as the Red Devil in my country (if you buy it online). I think imma go with it since it looks much nicer than the Red Devil and of course, RGB.
Nick Ericson I’ve had the strix for a while now. Temps are fine after fan curve adjustment, there’s an efficiency bios available to replace the quiet bios as well, which is also good.
It's the exact same with my Asus Arez Vega 56. Impressive and massive looking cooler, heavy, expensive (got a really good deal so that didn't matter for me) but it's loud and runs extremely hot.
Waiting for the ASUS TUF 5700XT review of yours.
More shittier than this.
@@turkepic3637 Much cheaper much shittier
@@turkepic3637 I have it so i agree.But still a review on that could give me closure.
I know it's not really affordable to test multiple of each model, but I have seen mixed reviews for some models and feel that perhaps Navi has quite a wide silicon quality variance. Vendors should be binning but you can only bin so much. It would be good to see somebody try to get a few of the same model, probably one of the ones that looks like an overall winner like the GB Gaming OC, to see if they are all similar in overall performance.
Nice video👍but personally after putting a g12 and 280 mm aio cooler on my 1080ti i can't see the point of air cooled graphics cards anymore.My cards runs much smoother and stable on water,best upgrade i made in the last year.
Looking forward to your opinion on the challenger. There's not that many real 2-slot 5700xt cards. I haven't found any decent reviews of the 5700xt red dragon either. All reviewers seem to have gotten the 5700 red dragon and 5700xt red devil
bought a Nitro+ than this card since Asus brands here are overpriced, and Im so glad I made the right choice to go with Sapphire, this card looks beautiful as well as its ARGB
I wanted the nitro+ aswell cuz I've always had the rx580 nitro+ and i loved it but the thing is, the strix is 40 euros cheaper here so it might actually be the better pick :/
@@jelleposthuma8786 i mean its your choice man but if I we're you I'll wait for it to be cheaper since as you can see on the reviews the temps on this card is not that good compared with Nitro+/Red devil and Gaming X,
sure its an "aSuS rOg" brand but you need to consider the performance and quality of the product
@@jelleposthuma8786 Sapphire Pulse and Gigabyte OC are both good cards. Similar, but I like the OC because it's completely black
@@xerix7772 I always watch the cards performance before I buy, but different sources say different things about the strix. I'm probably just going to wait until black friday and see how the prices change!
@@jelleposthuma8786 also, if you want the best 5700 XT, buy the MSI Gaming X. It is hands down the best of them all.
Got a Strix RX 5700 XT myself and happy with the card, apart from some bugs on AMD part (you don't mention in your review), the card runs great and hits 85 celsius under load in a midi case. One of the top performance cards on the market and able to match a 2070 Super, for still less money than a 2070 Super in my country.
I’ve had a strix for about two months now. I will say, the default fan curve is really conservative. If you adjust it to a more agrresive curve, the card runs peak temps 81 degrees under full load and 95 junction temp, which is fine. The new efficiency bios is also pretty decent. Power draw is less but at the cost of like 1 or 2 frames max.
Those problems were not amd's fault, asus just blamed them, the problem is a pressure issue that they solve through a software "fix"
Nice review on those XT cards Steve
Maybe after finish all of the XT model, can you look into Gigabyte RX 5700 gaming OC?
Because that model use only a single 8 pin, so I'd like to know how it perform and potential OC by power mod like other non XT model
what I would like to see on these triple fan cards is the heatsink fans on the rear end of the card turned 90 degrees to then vent the gpu head out the back of the case or at least aiding the vented heat while the rest of the heatsink in its normal orientation.
great review steve ! wonderfully done.
it's really a shame that Navi doesn't scale with better designs.
At this rate, it's going to be a tight one between the Pulse, Red dragon and the Gamig Oc.
Where I live, the Power color red dragon is the cheapest.
I'm really not understanding why this review claims this card runs hot? I just installed this card the other day and without under volting or doing anything whatsoever I'm getting max temps of 68 degrees F with extreme benching. I'm sure once I do under volt the card these temps will drop by another 5-10 degrees... Yes this card is huge and has an over built power deliver system but I believe based on my own testing the high temps are quite simply due to inadequate case room and ventilation. I have an EVGA DG-86 K boost case (which as you know is huge) and with the included 140mm fans I am having zero high temp issues... This card performs and does so well. I have had zero crashes or driver issues...
It's a quality control issue that we will expose in a few days.
@@Hardwareunboxed Can you go into more detail on this? Should I keep my eyes peeled for a video on your channel?
@@MrCykko ua-cam.com/video/H7lnBCFnBok/v-deo.html
@@Hardwareunboxed LOL talk about perfect timing! Thanks mate
If I had to buy a RX 5700XT, I would either go with the PowerColor Red Devil or Sapphire Nitro+.
But right now, I have to be content with a RX 5700, with SPPT mod.
it should do better in terms of temperatures and performances
if they didn't find a solution, I expect a price cut from them
Anyone else getting sick of all ROG cards looking the exact same? Or is that just me?
Yeah I would like them to change it up a bit. I know they've changed the fans from the older models but you don't even notice them that much.
so to sum up, dont buy the overpriced strix card.
I thought people should have known this by now. Gaming X or Aorus was always cheaper and quite similar.
@@turkepic3637 there's no Aorus card atm, but it will be pretty expensive if it's released sometime.
@@eazen ik
Most Asus are or overpriced (highends) or not a good performance/price ratio (mids)
Maybe, but it is one of the best looking, and most reliable 5700 XT
So, the top 3 most powerful AND balanced (power draw, silent, temps) XT so far are (in order): MSI Gaming X, PowerColor Red Devil and Sapphire Nitro+
On Newegg. The Strix card is only 10-20Euros higher then the Gaming X and Red Devil and the Nitro+ costs 10 Euro more then it.
review AOC 24G2 and the Acer 23.8" 1080p 144hz IPS. Both are IPS
This card would likely perform much better and offer higher clocks when water cooled.
Actually looks like ASUS gave a damn about AMD cards this time round and designed a very well thought out cooler. But that huge power increase over stock murders all of that design. The higher power draw offers no performance increase so is completely detrimental to its value. It's as if they never tested different wattage at all and someone just said "more watts = more fps duhh"
Sapphire has been making custom AMD GPUs and that's the only AIB model I'd buy. They know their way around them and there isn't a model they made that truly sucks. 5700XT Pulse is really good seeing GN tests
Learnt today my ab350 bios has added 3950x to the approved cpu list, looking forward to some interesting videos (ab350m-hdv)
I can't wait for the Sapphire Pulse! I think that card is going to kill it at costing a constant $209 US via NewEgg since launch.
Sapphire Pulse and MSI Mech will be an interesting comparison. Nice price and smaller coolers, both with a little bit of an exhaust effect with their horizontal fins.
More 5700 XT benchmarks! Moore!
I somewhat think your card is broken, if I'm not mistaken the memory clock should be around 1750 MHz whilst temperature "should" not surpass 70°C (at least it does not for said reviewer).
Source: Review of the same card, done by "Vortez": /watch?v=_5WkzpxdQNg
lol the chart says that the AMD REFERENCE DESIGN is better than the AIB only 2 - 5 % addition to performance
Weird these results... The Strix cards are amazing from start to finish but you pay the premium for it... I have a RTX 2070 super strix vertically mounted with an adaptor and it doesn't go over 60 degrees, it holds a 2050 mhz OC all the time and it's very quiet. Plus, it looks great vertically mounted.
They've been consistently good on the nvidia side, but a bit more hit and miss on AMD's GPU's. The Vega Strix cards were pretty bad for example.
Yeah Asus just messed up the power target, the cooler is solid but it consumes way more power than necessary
@@isakh8565 I had a Vega 56 Strix and I thought that it was amazing
I have gtx 1080ti oc, temp never goes above 63c while gaming in 23c room temperature.
That’s weird, I have the same card, vertically mounted too, but in quiet 0db mode it goes up to 70c, 80+c in stress tests like Furmark. Oh and also it died afrer 2 weeks :(
Like I said, I won't be upgrading my hardware (Got Asus Strix 1080ti =/ ) but I love these 'Hardware Unboxed 5700XT reviews!
Nice to see where the usual beefy Strix cards sit in these rankings.
And can't wait for the overall 'face off' of the 5700XT cards if you're not continuing your overall reviews =[
Keep it up, Hardware Unboxed! All your content is fun!
After watching this and read the comments below, I will buy sapphire nitro+ for my next gpu after 2 years with my RX 570 Red Devil
Ohh, that's too bad, I was expecting this review, thinking of getting this card.
When is the round up video coming? Want to get a 1440p monitor and a 5700XT for back Friday... Hope you guys are updating the monitor recommendations before black Friday too, would be helpful
I have this card, out of the box experince is exactly like in the video. But if you can spend some time tweaking it, its not that bad. I had mine running at 2150mhz target clock@1100mv with 1300rpm fan. The temperature hover in the upper 70s, but i live in Malaysia so the ambient temp is hotter and humid.
I just noticed that Asus isn't using the Arez brand for their Radeon cards any more. Good for them.
just waiting for gigabyte to drop in my country ill be getting that one
At this point, I think most of us can agree that the Gigabyte version is one of if not the best AIB 5700 XT. It's a $400 card that performs among the quietest and coolest of all the 5700 XT variants. There are very few arguments to go for a more expensive $440 card due it being virtually on the same level as Gigabyte's version, imo.
Gigabyte card costs €440. I'm thinking about getting the sapphire nitro since it's €25 more. Longevity is an important factor as well I'd say
@Stasss Powercolor only has one year of warranty so that's a big nope from me
@Stasss Still overpriced on Amazon sadly
All I see on my youtube feed is custom cooled RX 5700 XTs and I ain't complaining!
The cheapest Super, at least here, costs 520 Euro, without a comparable cooler to this one. A comparable design costs 580 Euro currently. 460-480 Euro for a highend 5700 XT here, vs 580 for a comparable 2070 Super. So that's what you got wrong in this review, unless prices in Australia are widely different. Other than that I enjoyed it.
GIVE US VIDEOS ON THE NON XT VERSIONS TOO!!! id rather get non Xt version than 2060 super but it seems 2070 super is better than Xt version. The majority of XT aftermarkets are too heavily overtuned
I have this card. Bought it with a coupon which made it 15 dollars more than the ref version, so i had a good deal.
Also have none of these problems you have with thermals and sound. Might be a faulty one.
How's the card running right now?
@@kasukahei working wonderfully. Playing Jedi Fallen Order 1440p around 100fps as i type this :)
It's decided... I am getting this card.
First system :)
Did you hook any fans to the PWM headers?
I bought the GT501 case for the build and I plan on mounting 7 fans.
3 in the front with AIO 360mm Rad as intake.
3 directly on the top as exhaust.
And one 140mm PWM on the back connected to GPU.
So if its flaw is so obviously the powerdraw, would it not have been a good addition for this review to turn the power budget down to, to be more in line with other 5700xt's and then compare thermals and noise? 🤔
He does mention later in the video that he tried it again with a 20% lower power limit and gave the temps, volume and performance. It's just not part of the chart.
the card is great now sorry to anyone who bought it when cooler design had issues got mine and overcl;ocked even more avg game temp 72c 68c good thing they fixed the screws and other stuff
I saw brand new Red Devils on Newegg for $390 USD that comes with Borderlands 3 and gamepass for pc like 2 days ago but it was/is a timed deal. Limit 1 per customer
I haven't been this early since I was born!
Please do a review of the Gigabyte 5700 XT Aorus when/if it eventually comes out.
Looking forward to seeing more about the Sapphire Pulse as that's they card I have my eye on.
The Red Devil, Dragon, Sapphire Nitro+, Pulse and MSI gaming X are the best. Thermals, power consumption, frames.
Oh and the gigabyte gaming OC.
So get a reference card the get a Arctic aftermarket cooler (if it fits don't know if it does) and save a bit of money while keeping temps good
@hardware unboxed Yeah, the card is expensive, no doubt about that BUT - as for the noise and temperature, I found a pretty easy "fix." It seems that the GPU Tweak II software rules out default BIOS settings with that very high power input etc. So far, even the OC setting runs much more quiet and cooler than before. Fans are barely audible and temperature doesn ´t exceed 68-71 °C (Tested on GTA V, ultra settings, Frame scaling at 1,500x, Hi-Res shadows and so on...). I don´t observe any noticeable performance drop (of course, GTA V isn´t the best game to measure that). Before, temperatures went always up to 75 °C and fans were pretty loud. PS: Powers were, mostly, below 205 W)
Point is: you can have quiet and cool card, it only needs few tweaks... Moreover, with silent or gaming mode on (or manual voltage/frequency/power choke) I think you won´t even recognize the card running (mostly - depeneds on how loud your other fans are)
After approx. 1 hour, peak temp was 73 and peak fan speed
So I did a clean install of the drivers and my fan speed dropped from 45 percent to 27 percent.
hello thank-you for your work , but please can you make one more spreadsheet where you will put all compared video cards with : Clock speed , Voltage , power consumption ,RPM , temperature , noise level , and price . from all this we can make a true decision what is the best cooling system and bios optimization of manufacture.
So this card as a air cooler card isn't that great. But since it draws so many watts and has a powerful pcb. Would it be the best card to be water-cooled?
Hardware Canucks, Techtesters, Vortez - all said it runs great and temps in the 60's. Also, Buildzoid broke down this card and showed it has tough VRMs. This is an overclockers card and it will out clock any other air cooled card, something not talked about here. Also, Asus release a bios update to address the power efficiency complaints.
Red devil 5700 xt where i live (FIN) is 469,90€ normal price & Pulse xt is just 10€ more than Red Devil xt , Msi xt gaming x 469,90€ normal price is 514,90€.
I think il buy the top red devil.
Great stuff. When you are done with all the 5700xt content it will be just in time for the 5800xt launch.
Just purchased a Red Dragon Rx 590 from microcenter for $179.99 and it comes with Borderlands 3 for free with 3 months of Xbox Game pass. That's a hell of a deal for a new card.
my sapphire pulse RX 5700 : 1700Mhz, 1200RPM, 63C° max.
I am on the verge of getting a regular 5700 Asus Strix. Should I worry about the reviews on it too or did they update the BIOS on the card as well?
5600XT is within spitting distance of the 5700 and could be cheaper, may be a consideration.
Hopefully by the time you get finished with all the different 5700XT variants there will be a 5800XT, and the cycle continues :D
Love that you mentioned the brand of gddr6.
I feel that extra OC on these, expensive third-party cards it aimed at people who are splitting hairs over performance differences and probably don't realise the actual difference between each one isn't really significant. Unless you're doing XOC-ing then a VRM that draws this much extra power doesn't seem to make sense. When Steve was going over the cooler I thought it would end up running with low-noise and at a reasonable temperature but was disappointed after watching the review. I'd rather take a card that runs a couple of degrees warmer, but noticeably quieter over something like this which might give a single-digit FPS boost in most games but run louder. I bought my PC in late 2014 and had the attitude of more FPS over anything else but slowly began to become annoyed at how loud my PC was. My next build later this year is absolutely going to be focused on being quiet at the expense of SOME performance and temperature.
Asus ROG Strix RX 5700 XT Graphics card...
When your name is a whole sentence.
Asus Republic of Gamers AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Graphics Card.
Good detailed review 👍
A new bios is available to program the quiet mode. Can you take a look at it and share your results? I bought this card after returning the msi 5700xt mech oc...that card was a disaster, extremely loud and hot. The Asus card instantly was a different story... cool and quiet, even with standard settings ( when compared to the Msi that is )
I always have it at performance setting...
I wanted to buy the msi gaming X or the Nitro+... but it was hard to get here in Belgium at that time. Anyway, I am very happy with this Asus ( however slightly overpriced, it was cheaper than the Nitro+ and the gaming X here in Belgium)
Are you planning on doing a review on the Asrock RX 5700 XT Phantom Gaming D?
I have one (bec nitro is always sold out in my country) and I don't regret getting it.. but if I could turn back time I will still settle for the nitro+..
How are the Temps?
I'm looking forward to that roundup video
Just comes to show that having a 3 fan over a two fan cooling shround does not give any significant cooling advantage, I mean, the way cheaper Power Color Red Dragon 5700XT has way better cooling performance and it only has two fans, not to mention the smaller size of the PCB which apparently has a negative impact on heat dissipation compared to a longer PCB, guess that isn't always the case.
Nice 5700 XT reviews. Can't wait for your view of Pulse vs Gigabyte.
