Worst One Yet: XFX RX 5700 XT THICC II Ultra Review | Do Not Buy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2019
- The XFX RX 5700 XT THICC's cooling is as much of a meme as its name. We're benchmarking the THICC II Ultra 5700 XT GPU today.
Sponsor: Buy PowerColor's Red Dragon Radeon™ RX 5700 (geni.us/7WSE5 on Amazon)
Article: www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews...
MAIN CARDS TESTED:
XFX RX 5700 XT THICC II Ultra (Amazon): geni.us/ySLN
Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse (Amazon): geni.us/8pcskY
Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ OC (Amazon): geni.us/1kl9Z
Gigabyte RX 5700 XT Gaming OC (Amazon): geni.us/AHum3
MSI RX 5700 XT Evoke (Amazon): geni.us/ZmJEx
The XFX RX 5700 XT THICC II Ultra has become a bit of a meme -- well, actually, it started that way -- but it's still an expensive, theoretically high-end RX 5700 series video card. Unfortunately, the performance ends up low on our charts, so part of this content will look into why that is. The XFX 5700 XT THICC has fierce competition from cheaper alternatives, like the Gigabyte Gaming OC, Sapphire Pulse, and Sapphire Nitro, and needs to deliver competitive cooling and performance to outmatch the alternatives.

Please remember to meme responsibly.
For the record, just because THICC is a meme, doesn't mean this was named for the meme. true story, it was an accident... i posted it on reddit a few months back when I had to let the bosses know, but it was too late, the printing was done and the THICC was unleashed upon the world.

Thank you Steve and GN for pumping out a review for every 5700XT you can get your hands on. As someone who's been waiting for AIBs to be available, it really helped me decide which models were worth spending on. I went with a Gigabyte model based on your review of that card. Keep up the good work.
I also made my decision based on GamersNexus coversge. For me though it was the Sapphire Pulse version :)
I am really happy with the gigabyte model.
I bought a Gigabyte and I am thinking about returning it. I don't know how, but both mine and the one tested by Computerbase.de have pretty stupid junction temperatures. In my case that results in the ventilator spinning up for a second or two when junction gets around or over 100C and then ramping down again, only to do the same a few minutes later. The Gigabyte isn't exactly silent either. It is almost there and most people won't hear it over their speakers. I do but it is not bad. However this constant ramping when I play a game for a good amount of time is starting to drive me nuts...
www.computerbase.de/2019-09/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5700-xt-test/2/#abschnitt_lautstaerke__kuehlung
I went with the Gigabyte too. I wanted that or the pulse, the GB was in stock first. Great card, no complaints.
Same here. Bought the Saphire based on reviews and availability, honestly might have bought the thicc as the asthetics matches my rig a bit better. These reviews are invaluable.
"Before that, This video is brought to you by a superior cooling solution which actually does it's job!"
Kinda suspicious actually.
Guess you should have waited for the reviews before buying it 😉
Don't want one, but I do think the design aesthetic is better than most. I like the matte black with silver accents
Fuck me man
I did. I read reviews from PCWorld, TechPowerUp and Guru3D.com, they all had good experiences with this card and highly recommended it. I bought it and so far so good. Although loud under load, it's a great performing card and never goes past 70c even when benchmarking, Memory Temps according to GPU-Z hit a max of 74c. I can post screenshots or videos if you guys want and I'd recommend looking at other reviews as well, GN isn't the be-all and end-all, maybe he got a bad card, got a beef with XFX or something. Hell if I know.
Golden Maximo wait so i didnt fuck up by buying this card? Thats great news
@@2BsWraith Here's the deal, I also thought about returning this card after seeing GN's review and teardown, I even sent an email to the retailer about it but then I thought to myself "Wait a second, I have this card for over a week now and I've been loving it so far and there's no way those other reviewers were all paid shills"
So I benchmarked the card myself in various games and software, the card hit the temps I said in my other comment and I had no problems whatsoever with anything.
HOWEVER. I had to follow a few steps which I'm sure GN didn't do:
1. I downloaded the latest OC bios @ XFX's website and flashed it using AMD flashing software.
2. I downloaded the latest AMD drivers, NOT THE ONE RECOMMENDED BY XFX
3. I downloaded MSI Afterburner, used the default settings and set my own fan curve, which, like I said before - made the card quite loud but not enough to be noticeable while gaming at low-medium volume (I use m50x's with velour pads for reference). Here's the screenshot of my fan curve:

And that's it, after that all went well and golden.

No Steve, dispiriting is buying the Radeon VII collector's edition just a few months before these cards released.....for 750 dollars!
Oof. Yes, that's definitely true. And a few months before it went EOL!
Oh well the free T-shirt makes it all much better.
If you were to use it for 3D design or with any other compute heavy software, it would be much, much better than the 5700 XT. So maybe its not that bad for you, but if you are only gaming... RIP
Hey that Radeon vii is a dream. I would still but that over the 5700xt now.
Yes it's still smooth as silk in all the games I play, however the price is pretty cringy. They did know a cheaper board that was close to as good was comming and still put it out there at the maximum price they could charge.
My XFX RX 480 has easily changeable fans that just clip on, no screws or wires to unplug. Why don't they do that more often?
dhgodzilla1 because they don’t last long
@@RealPlasmodium depends on the user. I am almost certain my card was a mining card & running a lot before I bought it. I had to replace the thermal paste & pads but after that I haven't had any issues. I also adjusted my Fan curve manually & made it so it doesn't go over a certain RPM, around 905 max speed. Card stays at 74C with Power Limit turned all the Way up. I also added Pads between the top plate & PCB above the Memory Chips to help.
This question shall never go away..."What about OUT OF BOX THERMALS?!?!????"

THICC DEUX: THE THICCENING
Stay tuned for THIC3: Return of the THICCC
Damn, this review/teardown/analysis made me to rethink about XFX. IIRC they used to do better parts. They and MSI have been free falling in my concept.
Thanks a lot for all this work, great video as usual.
You are right, but please watch reviews for the MSI RX 5700 XT Gaming X. MSI build a new cooler for the RX 5700 Models and It performs pretty Solid. It can bei Silent If you adjust the fan curve because the cooler ist so massive.
XFX is shit at the moment. But MSI isn't that Bad with their gaming X Design.
The two other MSI Design do suck (the golden one and the grey Card)
Liked video just for the statement "We don't really care about looks here on this channel"
Yet he has kinda the best hair of all the tech-youtubers ;)
Internet: You were the chosen one!
and a harsh mistress.
I got the RX 5700 xt Gygabyte OC, and I was having a little buyers remorse when the THICC boy was later on stock at newegg. This video is a huge relief.
XFX: Names a GPU THICC
Also XFX: *Doesn't make said "THICC" GPU a full fledged triple slot card like EVGA does with their higher end coolers*
I have seen better built fans attached to $1 candies at the store checkout line.
How mean of GN to "come after" XFX just because their card isn't good!
are you able to get your hands on the strix model? it has a vew interesting features (like fanheaders), which i need. i just wanted to know if the cooling solution is ok
You'd have to be "super high" to download and use that vbios.
When you gonna review the PowerColor Red Devil version?
Thanks a lot for your reviews, especially the teardowns. Lots of useful info and we get to see exactly what we are paying for. Gladly some Sapphire started appearing in my local shops cause just a week ago it was either XFX THICC or MSI Evoke.
Man I almost bought this one I wasn’t sure between this or gigabytes thanks GOD I went with gigabytes
Gigabyte cards die randomly so have fun with that.

Destroy the THICC, sponsored by the Power Color's Red Dragon. It's funny. ^_^
Yeah, next time we need to sponsor our own video... maybe make sure we send him two (one to giveaway!) so atleast he doesnt have any extra spite for having to buy it on his own

No spite at all.
An honest review for a product that doesn't perform as well as the competition.
What did you expect?
Damn, this makes me sad.
I really liked the output design and as a 14 year old boy at heart, it would have been fun to own something called "THICC" but I won't give up performance.
Don't actually lose performance, just loud
I think the regular non Ultra version of this card is actually okay, but I still wouldn't buy it with the problems HWUnboxed had with the card. XFX afterwards blamed AMD for it instead of taking responsibility, and went on to say they're working on a better bios. Seems that after weeks nothing improved
Wow
Be a great boy and buy nvidia
@@silure9502 be a troll and say something like that
@@Tallnerdyguy Would you pay 50$ less for a gpu that eats 2x the wattage and runs at 85 degrees minimum? Do you remember what happened to GPUs used for mining? I never bought and will never buy any AMD gpu. When i spend money on a graphic card i expect it to stay with me for a few years, not burn and die in 6 months. What you saved by going with AMD, you can be sure that you'll pay the double after a year in electricity bills. :))
Was just about to pull the trigger on this, thanks for this review!!!
I don't know crap about video cards and need an upgrade for video editing from my 1060 3gb for smooth 4k editing!
@Gamers Nexus Hello, I’m going to be getting into pc gaming for the first time really soon and I need help on picking the best high end gaming motherboard and best cpu money can buy. And also Graphics Card. I was looking at building it with origin pc online but I see that they only have two motherboards, the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E Gaming and the ASUS ROG X299 Rampage VI Extreme Omega. Are there any others that you would recommend that’s top of the line? Thanks
Gone are the days when XFX mattered and they made decent stuff though the coolers for their cards were always wanting forcing users to purchase after market coolers.
Me watching the Switch Lite teardown: "hmm, those screws might get mixed up."
Steve: *blinking*
Thank you guys for reviewing so many 5700 XT cards, it's really helpful. If at all possible, a review of the MSI Radeon RX 5700 TX MECH OC would be great, it's one of the few ones in my region that is available.
BTW gratz on the 666 k subs. \m/
15:15 having the same trouble with my GBT model as well. I see fanstop running when I want it to spin (I like keeping it at a decent rpm). Is there anyway I can disable it or I just have to go into control panel or task panel?
You need to adjust the fan curve with Wattman or MSI Afterburner.
@@Tahutify Well that is the thing. I have tried to use wattman. I might get afterburner but last time I did so it conflicted with wattman and bricked my pc to where I had to wipe my drive.
Please review the RAW II, I only found one review and I might consider it for my next PC
the raw II is worse im betting...
Dennis Rigdon after what I saw, it was pretty ok. With those 2 100mm fans
@Mr Singo I had the XFX RX 5700 XT RAW 2 and It was quite Bad. The cooling Design performs the Same Like the Thicc. The Fans are noisy, my card had a noisy coilwhine too and it runs pretty hot (over 95 degree celsius on VRAM in Furmark). Overall the Card feels fragile and is made with a lot cheap thin plastic. I Would Not recommend the Thicc 2 or RAW 2 even If the price is good.
Their are German reviews that confirm my experience with the Card.

As Aqua from Konosuba would say:
"Eris pads her chest."
lmao good meme
quite accurate
Pads are fine too, you know?!
Flat girls are statistically less effective than big breasts, specifically, 272% worse in performance, not to mention thermals.... Geez
@@nemtudom5074 It a matter of fat that having big breast help with passive cooling, with larger contact surface with ambient air, therefore, for improved thermal, all flat girl should get breast cooling pad.
**Sees date**
Nope, the only joke here is the card itself.
Do you have plans to review the Thicc III to see if they've resolved issues? Thanks!
Which Adrenalin driver did you use? XFX website specifically state to use the older 19.8.2. I have been using this Driver with my thick ii ultra and have not seen anything higher than 65° under load
Why on earth would I buy this over the Sapphire Pulse?
Like there’s literally no reason at all. I just don’t get what XFXs sale pitch is. What exactly justifies the absurdly high price? It’s worse than the Pulse in any measurable way and yet it’s 50$ more
Just ordered your modmat and gpu teardown tool kit :D
I just want mugs!!!
@@Wootguy238 i drink from dead GPU coolers
Reminds me of the MSI Armor GTX 1080 Ti...except that at least fell on the lower end of pricing for AIB 1080 Ti models, and the PCB was great if you were gonna water cool it.
ahhhh. The look was what caught my attention and made me come up with some build ideas. That would be a straight show peice if I was to use that card. Thanks for the review!
Man, I was so hype for this card... What a let down.
Then again, if I recall the card it was a throwback too didn't have an outstanding cooler either performance wise
Thicc: thinks that it's better just because because it looks good
Hi Steve, still looking forward to the Red Dragon cooler teardown!
Any chance you can get the new THICC III Ultra and compare it to this card and let us know if they fixed the issues?
...and it's such a good looking card too. Much sadness.. :(
That's a cursed GPU. Put it under custom loop cooling using holy water and pray.
Hey GN Steve, just curious. Did powercolor really sponsor this graphics card review of another company?
No. Reviews are done prior to any ad spots being placed in videos.
What do you think about the asrock challenger 5700xt? I bought it a week ago so far it seems to be on the better side of cooling solutions
Surprising - other reviewers found it works amazingly
I like my Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT. Works rather well. Wasn't overly expensive.
Do you folks have plans to review the Asrock Chanllenger ? Would like to see what you say about it. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the info, I own one too. What review did you watch, can you give me link so I can watch it ? Thanks in advance.
I'm strongly considering buying a 5700 XT but I'm limited with regards to card length because I have an AIO in the front of my case. Would the Sapphire Pulse be my best option giving this constraint?
It really does look like a damn car.
No wonder it runs hot then, it's missing its radiator.
I just wanna buy it for the name, put it up on display as a talking piece.
Point to it when people ask you why you won't buy stuff until Steve reviews it.
I bought one of these cards and memory temps were topping 101C with simply gaming on it for a couple of hours. I returned the card the very next day. Now from seeing the teardown, I can clearly see why memory temperatures were so bad. That masterful combination of covering the memory with a cheap bit of metal and attaching that to the heatpipes with a little heat pad. I wonder whether XFX engineers muttered the words, "there I fixed it" when thought of this ingenious design.
Nice review but at the same time it blows my mind. I have the same exact card that is the most stable card I have ever owned and I cannot get it to go hotter than 71c. Did you reach out to XFX to see what they could do for you? With mass production things can happen. Anyways with a 3 year warranty I'd reach out to them and then do a follow up. Just a suggestion.
They should name the lower end model "thin boy" xD
I think you've found the graphics card for this years Disappointment PC
Hi Steve, ive found a xfx thicc for closer to the reference price (389). At this price do you think it's acceptable? I'm worried about the strange fan curve and don't know whether it's worth paying a bit more for the powercolor (non red dragon twin fan) at 400
Got my MacBook Pro coming next week or so was going to buy this gpu. But won't now what's the best egpu to use with a MacBook Pro and will fit in the razor core x case plz?
If i were XFX I'd release a version with a waterblock on it and call it STICC xD
Why am I watching this? I already bought the Gigabyte after you reviewed it.
Watching because title says "DO NOT BUY" and my Red Devil came yesterday. That's one thicc card.
Samira Peri god I wanted the red devil so bad but in the end my wallet wanted the gigabyte
@@bb2ridder757 Here the price difference is roughly a tenner. :P
will you guys be reviewing the phanteks luxe 2?
Hey I was thinking you could do a video about air-coolers again but this time show how upgradable they are.
I mean, we know that AIO's don't always come with the greatest stock fans and noctua demonstrated that you can meet performance with a better fan design by putting a prototype fan on their U14 and it matched a retail D15. So something to explore could be the best bang for your buck, which coolers benefit the most from an improved fan, how do standard radiator fans match up against fans made with CPU coolers in mind. Might be interesting to also try mounting CPU fans to a radiator and seeing how they perform.
Isn't it unfair that this card gets a "do not buy" rating despite cooling extremely close to the MSI Evoke which didn't get reviewed nearly as badly?
I mean look at the sponsor for the video... it just screams BUY POWERCOLOR!!!!
No because the Evoke is cheaper.
You now have a THICC III (3) to review.
There still is no ASRock Challenger 5700 XT review anywhere. Is the card that bad that ASRock doesn't even send it to any reviewer? I am interested in that review. Good work from Gamers Nexus on using the powerplay table for the THICC and arranging that Challenger.
Quick question. Why not keep all cards at 200w to have fair cooling...
Reviews XFX RX 5700 XT card
Sponsor: "This video is brought to you by the Powercolor 5700 XT"
*non XT
Don't buy the xfx one 🤣
So, my old adage of "Only buy Sapphire for AMD" still holds true.
Ryan N I have had both powercolor and sapphire with no problems except for amd’s shit drivers
MSI are good too. but yeah Sapphire makes the best Radeon cards hands down
@@hircine92h Sure, other brands make good cards as well. I can't I wouldn't give MSI or Powercolor a shot if the price was right.
Whatever happened to the '$450' anniversary edition? Has anyone tried to see if a swapping of the cooler to a 'standard' cooler do see if it performs better than everything else?
Great Video Tech Jesus, hopefully, XFX will reconsider their price level. I am looking forward to your review of the Asrock Cards. Thanks again for an unbias, in depth review. That is why I like your videos.
After making my own fan curve using MSI Afterburner I haven't had a single problem with this card. It's great actually. Only downside is the fact that it's very loud while gaming (slightly noticeable using m50x's at medium volume). But quiet during desktop use since the fans are always off.
I really recommend this card for anyone looking for a 5700 XT.
Powercolor is the sponsor for a XFX review. Is that ok?
What about sharing loud sound as well on different RPM? The noise level mentioned in Db is useless.
@GamersNexus did you guys use the newest BIOS? Maybe the card I got was cherry picked because I was able to achieve 2100 core and stayed around 80c T.Junction. I thought it was a great card from my benchmarks I ran.
Does Powercolor's sponsorship of this video make it a conflict of interest, or did it affect the review content? Asking out of curiosity.
Everything he says is backed by verifiable evidence that he got through many hours of testing so what difference does it make.
I have the non ultra version of this card, and I can confirm everything said on this review. I only bought it because I got it for about 25% cheaper than normal price here where I live, as it was a returned card. I flashed the BIOS as it had the issue of the fans not spinning until it reached 100 degrees, etc.. That solved it, but the fans just spin too high, very loud, no good temps, specially memory. I ended up taking it apart, put thermal paste and pads between the plate(that one that makes contact with the memory) and the cooler, I also applied thermal pads between, the back plate and the PCB. In the end, I saw indeed some thermal improvements, specially after undervolting. I have it now at 1045mV, core frequency target at 2020mhz and memory at 950mhz, runs at quite good performance and not too loud, fans between 2100 and 2400rpm max.
I also have the non ultra version of this card. Here's what I had to do to make it run nice and smooth:
1. I downloaded the latest OC bios @ XFX's website and flashed it using AMD flashing software.
2. I downloaded the latest AMD drivers, NOT THE ONE RECOMMENDED BY XFX
.
3. I downloaded MSI Afterburner, used the default settings and set my own fan curve, which made the card quite loud but not enough to be noticeable while gaming at low-medium volume (I use m50x's with velour pads for reference). Here's the screenshot of my fan curve:
prntscr.com/pc0g0i
And that's it. I might try messing with the voltage, clocks and apply thermal paste eventually but for now I'm pretty satisfied, the card runs everything I want without hiccups, without ever going past 70°C and without being too loud so whatever, not worth the effort right now in my case scenario.
12:22 Why are all the card's frequencies around 1900MHz?
AMD lists the 5700 XT's "game frequency" as 1755MHz (which I thought meant the sustained frequency over a long period of stress) and a boost frequency of 1905 MHz. So I don't understand why the cards boost all the time?
I'm confused between nitro + or powercooler any recommendations from you guys
I see DO NOT BUY, I listen.
Still waiting for ASUS to send you guys 5700/5700XT's for review. They're the only ones that have been slacking with this and the ROG Strix is the one I've been looking at to see if it could beat the Red Devil or not. 🤷

Thank you for the honest review. I was SERIOUSLY considering the XFX THICC II or the MSi Mech OC. Apparently both are not great. All I care about is a decent temp under load @ 1440p.
XFX 5700 XT review brought to you by the PowerColor 5700, no way that was done intentionally.
Best looking rx5700 out there but rubbish, that's life.
Hey Steve. So I just bought a PC with the DD Ultra 8gb version of this card and the gpu is not working. The blue power leds light up but I have no fan spin and no video output whatsoever. Tried swapping the gpu into my own gaming PC and same result. I've seen multiple forum comments about this card having issues with the fans not running and causing the gpu to overheat. I believe that has happened with this particular gpu. I tried reaching out to XFX , but cannot even get them to answer the phone.
Is there any advice you could offer that would help me to get this card running again?? ( Bought the PC used from an individual.)
Hey Steve? What happened to the graphics card we saw a year ago, at Computex I think? It literally had an aio cooler on it!! I think that was an interesting idea, but never heard anything from it since then... :(
Do you know anything?
You mean shit like EVGA's Kingpin Cards? Hybrid cards have existed for some time now it's nothing new.
