Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Review: In-Depth Thermals, Noise, Overclocking, & Power
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2019
- This Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ OC review benchmarks the thermals, noise, overclocking, and power capabilities of one of the highest-end RX 5700 XT cards that's coming out.
Sponsor: Buy Be Quiet!'s Straight Power 11 PSUs (Amazon - geni.us/YVeZ)
That one chart is obviously supposed to be labeled "Fan RPM" on the left axis -- oops!
The RX 5700 XT Nitro+ should appear on Amazon here: geni.us/ohNpi (the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ OC wasn't listed on Amazon at the time of writing this description, but that'll land you on the search phrase)
Article: we're delaying this one so that the team can get some sleep! You can read about testing methods in our Pulse or Gaming OC reviews.
The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ OC is one of the higher-end cards coming to the Navi lineup. This one is interesting for its cooling solution, clearly opting for a larger, tri-axial cooler with a large heatsink. It's also got triple VBIOS with different power targets, making testing more challenging than typically as each power target will permit different boosting behavior. In this review, we'll look most heavily at thermals versus the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse, the MSI RX 5700 XT Evoke, Gigabyte RX 5700 XT Gaming OC, and AMD RX 5700 XT Reference card.

Oops. That one chart should obviously be labeled "FAN RPM." It doesn't do 2000W! That'd get us a lot more OC! Note also that the leftmost switch is a toggle that allows software management of which VBIOS is active, but itself isn't a third VBIOS.
Steve did you look at Trixx boost?
this is really cool card; I think I will buy Pulse tho once the prices chill down just a touch more ; its manifacturer suggested price is barely just in my price range.
@@userunknown3275 No. Lol.
I'm going for 3440x1440 75Hz, is this the card to get? I play mostly Shadow of War / the Tomb Raider
@@George_K. I think this card would do pretty well with that resolution and refresh rate. In most games you will be able to hit 75 Fps with max quality settings. It's a very good choice!
3 years later and my 5700xt nitro+ is running fantastic.
what's your temps and fan rpm in heavy games + settings? Asking as those reviews with those 1500rpm are open test bench and naturally the fans spins up a lot higher in case with case fans set for lower RPM instead of high noise. Got one second hand and while temps are great (75 edge/100 hotspot in the heaviest scenario with 1.2V, i.e. default) it's ramping up to 1900-1950rpm and quite noisy actually. My case is fractal design meshify 2 with bequiet silent wings 3 fans spinning at 680-700rpm (2 front, 1 back).

Hail to the King, Nitro+ is finally here :)
Awesome review, man!
Saphire yet again proved that they are THE BEST AMD GPU manufacturer
STRIX is no longer the king
Nitro+ is still more imperssive in every aspect and have reasonable price
The real competitor was always the powercolor card, not the strix
ROG STRIX was top in case of performance
Other parameters... not that great especially PRICE that can not even be taken seriously to be honest. Overpriced as fuck
That’s why I got the sapphire 5700 xt ☺️
Strix IS the king of 5700 XT as of now since we don't know what's under the hood of the Nitro+, check out Buildzoid's video about it, Asus went pretty overkill with the 5700 XT. PS: I'm not trash talking the Sapphire Nitro+ brand, since I have a RX 580 Nitro+ card in my system and I'm happy with it, I'm just saying that Asus might have better quality components under the hood that could effect lifespam and overclocking ability of the 5700 XT.
But what we see here are pretty good results
In terms of thermal results Nitro+ shows even better numbers than STRIX which can proof two things: it has good component base or it has very good engineering decisions in its heatsink and overall construction quality
If Saphire did everything that ASUS also managed to do but with some improvements and less painfully fir budget, they are just freakin mages.
Very nice card, aesthetically and technically speaking
I wished the white spots would be dark Grey or just black l, doesn't match my build :(. Powercolor devil it is then...
That top white hexagon panel is unfortunately pretty ugly. But it wont stop me from buyin it.
"Good job"
Equivalent to a golden award by GN ;)
Seriously loving all the AIB 5700 XT reviews! I know it’s pretty repetitive but it’s good content
And very necessary for those who need the information. Genuinely -- thank you, GN.
even though i dont plan on buying a 5700xt, i am using this as a gauge to see which companies to look at by the time big Navi comes. for example, its clear that MSI does not care about making quality AMD products based on steve's testing and i know i will be avoiding them pretty much from here on out.
DobrieNIN that’s an excellent point. MSI has proven to be lacking in design and the THICC card has some weird issues that should be fixable by XFX, but that doesn’t instill confidence
@World Channel AIB = "Add In Board" - search "All graphics cards are AIB" for more details
Which card is that on the lower left side of the screen?
Also, are you ever going to dive into undervolting with any of the Navi cards?
It's a Sapphire. You won't remember the price in five or six years and this card is still plugging away. What else is there to say.
My Sapphire R9 390 Nitro is still running. This is going to be its replacement when it comes to the market, debated Radeon VII but I dont need that much power.
This.
That's why I don't really pay too much attention to price in reviews. If you care that much, make coffee at home instead of Starbucks for a month and you'll have the price difference.
@@fuzzfire I have an r9 290 vapor-x, still flawless all these years later
@@tron121 That was the carb I wanted when I had my black and blue build, but couldnt afford it, so waited a year and when all Black White and Gray with my Nitro, Asus z170-a board combo
@@TheVillainOfTheYear Who would even drink anything from Starbucks...Im not a student with lots of dept using even more of someone elses money to drink from overpriced coffee "shop"... :D
Thanks for the review. I have a reference XT already been waiting pick up an AIB model to add to the collection - this is the card I'm going to pop on.
I actually like that it has a main, backup and a still a third bios to use with their software suite. Not that I would but heck yeah, its there if you do. The thermals and the noise also very nice. That separate cooler plate/fin stack just for the GDDR6 - nice touch same with user replaceable fans, nice. And It looks good too. Take my money Saphire...
Thank you for featuring 5700 cards! I think I'll buy this one when it become locally available to me.
This card has some really great 1% and 0.1% lows though... Worth considering for that also.
It's mostly within error of the others.
Great card, thanks for the review GN, interesting stuff!
If Steve has hard time recommending one card over another you know both are really good :)
Sapphire have never let me down, great performance that lasts a very long time. My HD5850 still works.
It took a really long time for them to get there though. Unfortunately they used to be a budget bran back in the days. I remember my 9800gt dying on me
They were great!! It took a fanless 7000 series card to retire my 5800 board, I cannot remember the exact numbers.
I had a Sapphire 5850 and it was a bag of shit.
@@MikehMike01 Depends on what year you got them and used them. It was released 2009, of course it's shit now.
This is definitely a fake account 😂
Comparison with 5700 XT Red Devil would be interesting. Nitro + is smaller, I'm curious how would its cooler do against the thicker and taller Red Devil one...
Just go watching "Hardware Unboxed" review, they provided the required data. Spoiler alert, Red Devil is a very little bit better but both cards are on the top of the 5700XT's game, only issue is they are hard to get...
Have you even done your research? One would wonder whether that's the case. Go have a look at the video from HU @02:10. Spoiler: the Nitro+ is larger.
@@CHRoOMAX larger but lighter
I managed to snag an rx5700xt red devil on day one launch in the UK and I'm thoroughly impressed so far.
Cool quiet and powerfull enough to max out everything I throw at it so far.
Per HU the Nitro+ is slightly quieter. Red Devil has very slight advantage in 1% lows. I can't remember which won in Temps.
The quieter and replaceable fans (as well as it being Sapphire) makes the Nitro+ a winner for me.
Great doing, love your reviews. Whats about undervolting?
Excellent review Steve!
I don't usually make any comments at your reviews Steve because I can rarely find anything bad to complain about !!!
Big thanks for your reviews Steve/ @Gamers Nexus !!!!
Best nitro plus review yet. Thanks Steve.
We really need a comparison with the Cowerpolor Red Devil now. I don't know which one to buy. :O
Bro that fucked me up lol
Whichever one you can find in stock, although I would go with the sapphire one
Purchased this model on eBay for $170. I think I got a pretty good deal. Can’t wait to get it! :)
Just picked one up thanks for all the information. 👍
Damnit I just got the pulse 3 days ago, now I'm jealous of this
The same review, at the exact same time, from the two Steves I like. Time to put that dual monitor setup to good use.
Ordered mine today. Had to return an XFX Raw II today at Best buy. Just way to damn hot, and even with fan manually set to 50 percent. Paid extra $20 for next day delivery on my new Nitro plus. Im upgrading from a Strix RX 580 8 gig card. Cant friggin wait!!!
Now THAT is the card i was looking for. :-)
Can't wait for the teardown video of that beastly cooler!
Waiting for Sapphire RX 5700 XT Toxic review. Its watercooled they say...!
toxic is coming... but on higher tier 5800xt or 5900xt
Thanks for the video it helped me out!
Finally this is the card I have been waiting for
The evoke had a mounting pressure issue that prevented "getting junction temperature back to where it started", does this sapphire card have that issue or everything ok post teardown?
So sad you guys never did anything with the nitro plus Vega cards. They were so well built I would have e loved to hear you guys thoughts on them.
I would like to see in Video Card reviews 100% fan speed results at given wattage to find out "maximum cooling potential". Sometimes cards behave similar at 40 db but differ a lot when fans are maxed out. I hope that makes sense. Overall amazing review, i think i see 1st time any reviewer paying attention to exact wattage of tested card. 10/10.
This card also looks to be using better capacitors, so that's a huge plus.
Good honest review 😎👍
Thanks for the great review it is between this and the Red Devil 5700 xt for my new build...
Would love to see the strix next!
Great review on the card, waiting for the teardown to see the goodies inside. Too bad this card is 100% a paper launch since you can't find it anywhere despite all the reviews being released. Waiting to update my RX 570 to a RX 5700XT
Powercolor red devil 5700xt is the only one i have seen that is both design and price comparable be interesting to see how it compares over all
Add XFX thicc2 Ultra to your list. Are the main top 3 5700xt cards
@@BetoMelancia did you watch the review of the card ?
I'm willing to pay a premium for a Sapphire card. I've owned two of them and always been impressed with the quality. I hate "cheap" components. It's probably almost all subjective on my part but there is a certain satisfaction I get when I feel like my components are high quality or top of the line.
Agreed! It's just normal to have peace of mind at those prices.
that sapphire is much worse than rog in components.
Been waiting for a review for this card it the one I want to get so bad 😎
I'm on my Second Sapphire Nitro card (R9 390 NITRO and Nitro+ Vega64) they do such a good job! I don't know if I like the look of this one? but the results are consistent with my experience. Love to see some undervolt OC action, I reckon you could get this near silent
I personally wish all GPUs would be stylized to look slim, flat, and clean rather than bulky.
I mean the styles are changing. It's kind of like gaming keyboards where the font on each key came from a 90s movie's hacking scene but now the font's slimmer and cleaner
I have the Sapphire Radeon Nitro 5700XT plus, it's a beast I will definitely say that. I'm not familiar with overclocking, still learning it. My brother in law is teaching me here and there. But he said my pc is pretty bad ass, and it handles all my games and streaming just fine.
Pretty impressive to see the Sapphire running much cooler while using 25w more. The ability to get down to 200w and do even better is well, better.
Great review as always. 5700 XT will be my next card and you're so helpful.
I'd pay 20 $ more for this model, no doubt.
Alber $40*
I wish there had been enough room in those charts to include Sapphire's preceding enthusiast card, the Nitro+ Vega 64. After watching, I'm still left wondering how much of a step they've taken with this launch.
This video really helped narrow down my decision between the 5700 xt and the 2070 Super. Much appreciated.
HalfChopped which one choosed?
@@omrkad I went with the Sapphire Pulse 5700xt as it was on discount where I live. A low end 2070 super was over 25% more and doesn't give enough of a performance gain for the price difference.
Thanks a lot. I also decided for Team Red. Saphire nitro+ 5700 xt se
Stephen, Happy New Year. Excellent video as always. Quick question I can get the nitro+ special edition at 440 including tax and only 10 bucks more than standard nitro+ or msi gaming x. My main priority is quite operation, 40db for 60 fps, is the max I would like to have. Would you suggest to go for the special edition or stick to the the standard or MSI? Thanks in advance . Best
I'm curious on which card is right for me when i plan to water cool everything. do the reference card vs the partner cards make a difference when you water cool them???
3:22 "Triple Axial Fan TARD?" XD
Well I'm convinced, Just ordered mine, as I cannot stand noise- This'll be perfect for gaming while my family is in the room :)
Ferdinand Heiselberg where did you order it?
What he said ^
Where did you buy it from?
I went ahead and bought it. I can't wait around for the 5800s or 5900s (if there will be?) to come out.
There will be but it's coming this summer so yeah no reason to wait. I will however sell my Nitro+ 5700 XT when they drop so I can uograde. This model has amazing resale value, it'll be sold pretty fast.
I guess you could consider a relative temperature normalized with power for the 40dB chart
Planning a build that uses Sapphires 5700 XT, and it's already max budget.
So with the Nitro+ and hearing of the Toxic, it's hard to limit myself!
Is there a plan for acquiring, testing, and comparing Strix AIBs?
"exiting the point of necessity" I'm gonna have to remember that
This is the card review I was waiting for, love the design so much more then the pulse. It realy seems like sapphire made this to be improved in the future. Maybe unlocked via bios update for more performance.... like the know something and are predicting a future event.
Why is this the card review you were waiting for?
@@DeltreeZero sapphire makes the best cards imo, and in general if it's something that can be done for the card sapphire will do it on the nitro. Like I said before seems engineered for more then is currently available so we might see improved performance via bios in the future that this card can take advantage of
Just purchased the Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT 8GB OC!
Can't wait to run The Division on it.
How did you get it, it’s sold out everywhere? I have been looking all over the place for it.

@@xIndicaxHigh Oh cool, I just hope I can get my hands on one. I have been sitting on Newegg just refreshing the page endlessly till it goes back in stock. This is my first pc and I have all the parts other than a gpu and it’s driving me nuts that the one I want is so high in demand right now.
I picked up the Special Edition this week for $449, and I chose it over the 2070 Super because of price and stocking issues. There wasn't much choice where to buy a super at the time and prices were $100 more. Feels like a win.
how it performing ? im planning to buy it but im too confuse between red devil or nitro+se or msi gaming x
Great card and great review,i hope the price goes down some soon .
Nice sponsor, my PSU.
Im still torn between 2070S and 5700XT, this one again is performance wise really on par, only the AMD driver pushes me a bit away.
Still on my 1070 i just cant decide.
You are spot on with the issue of AMD drivers, I am on a 1070 and now looking at options for a new build. A 5700XT is gonna run 480€-ish and a 2070 S is 600€+.
Can you review the XFX 5700 XT THICC 2 Ultra. It is supposed to have a slight factory overclock.
Every one of those cards overclock themselves while youre using it...its automatic and can be higher than listed frequencies many times..
Just undervolted and over clocked ram
It's been just brilliant for my VR rig
Will be available also 3xDisplay port / 1hdmi port version? I am quite disappointed with this output layout.
Why are the radiator fins faced sideways? Pulse does it along the card, to direct the hot air out of the case. Isn't that better?
Well, after almost 4 months of having bought this GPU (following Steve's advice) I will tell you my experience:
At first I had A LOT of troubles with the card, which mostly consisted in stuttering and complete system crash in several games. After doing some really heavy searching, and having tried every possible software-wise solution whithin the scope of my knowdlege, I came to the conclussion that there had to be something wrong in my hardware. Having gone through the (damn long) warranty process, it turned out to be a GPU failure, so they replaced the faulty piece with a brand new one. Guess I had bad luck to begin with...
So, now with all those troubles having gone, I still found myself having to touch drivers several times because black screen happened randomly, even while idle. Finally, after reading some forums, I learned that 19.12.2/3 drivers were the good ones (do NOT install the ones from 2020 edition), and HELL THIS GPU ROCKS HARD, BOY!
Simply put, you can run ANYTHING at Ultra at 1080p with more than 60fps (I use a 75hz monitor btw). To my surprise, RDR2 which is a damn resource hungry buggy game, reaches 80fps with everything between high and Ultra. Tried RE2 remake also, with same results.
The card remains fresh, between 70-80°C (junction goes around 90°C) while playing AAA games, even when it does consume over 220/230W under load. Oh, and it is absolutely silent. I don't even have to reach 60% of fans speed to keep it within those thermal values.
So, in conclution, it is a GREAT GPU for the money. The only downside are the drivers, which doesn't work as well as NVIDIA ones, but that can be solved by fresh installing the 19.12 versions.
Sorry if I overextended, but I hope this to be useful for people trying to decide wether to buy this or another model.
Is it still that bad to this date? I mean the drivers
@@blattlaus7382 I'm currently using the recommended 2020 version, and so far no problems registered. I can even smoothly play RDR2, which is hell of a buggy one.
Julian Gomez Cool thanks for the info.. my older amd cards also had issues with the 2020 release.. theyve gotten better. I just ordered this 5700xt.. glad the drivers are better for it as well..
Just fyi.. If you ever can, consider a 144hz monitor.. 75hz is limiting this card at 1080p... I see noticeable differences every ~20fps.. worth it imo. My vega 56 can push over 100fps on many newer games/high settings
@@juliangomez716 How is the card doing chief Is it still good?
@@coconutoil1614 Right now I'm having no trouble running some January 2020 release drivers, since I had some issues with newer ones with games like COD Warzone (graphics looked aweful). The only thing that bugs me is a very occasionally and random black scren while gaming, but I solve it reconnecting the HDMI cable to the card and signal instantly returns.
I should try the latest drivers, but so far I'm good with this ones.
So if you're wondering if this is a goos buy, I'd say it actually is, considering the money. It's a great card, apart from the sofware that runs it. Still, if you have the money to go for a 2070 super, then go for that one, which has slightly better performance and drivers. For me that was not an option, since in my country costs almost double.
mines on order from scan cant wait to use it. just hope it fits into my meshify C case
Ayeee, i also have this card and the meshify c case. Barely fits with the 2 fans upfront 😂 couldn't front mount my aio so i had to put it up top. You like your pc?
I've got this card in a Define C (same chassis) and it has less than 10mm clearance to the front fans.

I recently purchased a reference Sapphire RX5700 XT and it has awful coil whine.
If you are talking about noise could you please mention coil whine also?
One question, what is better this or the red devil 5700xt? If you can't say without hands on a follow up question would be, do you plan on reviewing the red devil 5700xt?
Great video as always
I got super lucky with the vram on my card too. I’ve got the Strix model though. Also hit 950MHz without a sweat
Is +75Mem/2120-2140MHx something that can be run safely daily/long term? Thanks.
Nice build. A reference type gpu would have been ideal for this type of case.
I have the Nitro+ RX580 now and was considering either this card or a step-up in monitor to a 35" 2K. What to buy first?
Oh I hope that you also will take a look at the ASRock Taichi 5700 XT!
Thomas Jonson yeah I’m hoping for a lower price point to match my Taichi mobo, but we’ll see I guess!
@Thomas Jonson 500€ for a 2080 Super? Where?
I think that is the same card underneat.
ASrock and Sapphire are the same company from a while, i think the taichi has more led illumination, the rest i think is the same
I love my sapohjre nitro+ vega 64. In similar fashion my hbm (samsung modules) clocks to 1050 while remaining at 70c under full load after 2 hours of heatsoak. The coolers are so strong and they're super gorgeous cards.
Edit: very curious to see how the red devil compares to this (and in the future, how this cooler applied to higher end navi cards with larger dies will perform vs rtx cards)
After undervolting that GPU to about 1050mv, you should get at least 1150mhz on the memory. Without undervolting i get crashes on the memory above 1050mhz on my Vega 64 Strix. My memory is fully stable with no artifacting ever at 1155mhz+ memory. All Vega 64's are very similar in overclocking numbers except temps/noise only.
AMD software retaining settings or even applying the same always is another very long and broken story. The good part about having the memory at 1050mhz allows for things to not apply and still never crash. Which i have seen happen to every type of wattman setting there is. Or just simply behaving differently with volts and watts used after simple things like turning the PC on and off or creating the exact same profiles repeatedly. The 1050mv, 1150mhz memory in 1 game takes my FPS from 124 to 171. While in Tomb Raider it goes from 47 to 52 usign a triple screen setup. After 1050mv is entered in to the last few states. A 5 to 10mv smoothing out of the load line may be needed for some games for full stability always.
@@MJ-cf3qm I found afterburner to be more stable for fan curve and gpu frequency. So I dont even use wattman. but afterburner doesnt allow seperate mem voltage so that remains stock in my situation. i did apply a 1050mhz clock which has been 100% stable. Running a 1050mv gpu voltage and getting sustained boost of between 1615-1685mhz gpu (application dependent) with temps in the low 60s and noise under 42 dba @1m.
@@dmtphone Nice. keep pushing that memory now until you see artifacting. Not being able to do 1150MHZ would be very unlucky and rare. Even reference cards. 1160 to 1175 MHZ is where mine runs but artifacts. The settings applying bugs happen on all software. An interface issue is probs a better way to word it. It mostly is just good to know since that can be the reason for crashes during the life of the card and often makes it look like memory does not go above 1050MHZ without crashing. I expect no fix as it has now been about 2 or 3 years of people reporting this issue of 101 bugs. Seeing the many issues requires many PC restarts or shutdowns and also monitoring the watts and volts to see them behave differently some times. Literally even applying settings once may not be the same as the next time. usually about 20w or 40w difference. As well as the VDDC is often changed usign the same settings re applied or still left the same. Many crashes are confusing until the frustration is seen. Same thing Steve deals with in OC streams of both Vega and also the 5700 XT how he constantly does fresh settings and even multiple driver installs during a single stream. Wattman is a bit better since it has game profiles. No less problematic but the endless fine tuning adjustment and allowing for zero rpm mode outside of games while using custom per game basis i find to be great. Totally for preference reasons but i just say that since after getting heat soaked. The GPU frequency only drops around 25MHZ. My case has lots of fans but also has lots of ventilation which makes sound travel well. I barely change the default fan curve. Apart from the undervolting/overclocking applying rubbish that applies to all AMD cards for many years now. High end custom vega 64 cards are awesome. Underrated since we can get over 20% performance often and literally have lower temps, power, noise.
Could you try benchmarking the AMD cards with GNU+Linux on the Mesa open source drivers?
Also, we need a review for the upcoming Asrock Tai-chi Radeon 5700 XT
Still have a sapphire radeon x850 xt kickin around somewhere, lmao. This is my fav card for sure if i ever get the 5700 xt. 👍
Got mine today!
You guys still have yet to review the PC Red Devil, guess you are saving the best for last.
Just got my card, and running the default VBIOS. Using the new Radeon 2020 software (good ui) but some absolutely annoying "features". What would you recommend for a custom fan curve to achieve your temp levels @ 40dBA Normalized (7:06 mark). I have been playing around with it. But would just like to see what you were running.
I have been debating on getting this or the Gigabyte RX 5700 XT. What do you guys think yields better overall performance for the price?
If someone knows this, please answer. So what he is basically saying, the middle bios is more power efficient with minimal loss in fps. So it is basically an underclock?
does the gigabyte model not have a bios switch, if so thats a bummer i was really gunnin for it
Damn that is a good looking card!
Sapphire really knocking it out of the park here! Hope this is kind of a live test for the cooler design before "Big Navi" comes around.
Although, it does make me sad that XFX has just been relying on f*cking memes for marketing and not actually producing all that great of products.
My old 7950, (in the style of that one that's been on the shelf behind you for years) lasted me a LONG time and when finally died got replaced for free with their lifetime warranty.
Their customer service has been great to me in the past, but their recent products are little more than a joke.
what happend to Vapor-x coolers ? I used r9 280x vapor-x model and i loved it then i changed my card with 1080ti FE but my vapor-x wasvery good card in that time.
Soooo - How to set a custom fan profile on this card? Afterburner doesn't seem to be able to force the fans to start earlier...
Just bought this card and will have some hell getting it in my case/ my custom loop blocks everything lol. Hopefully I can find a waterblock for this card.
Great video very in depth. I like the board but the 2070 super is almost the same price...
So whats the point of the 3rd bios switch? Just a "why not, itll help justify the price"? Seems like the Left and Right are basically identical
The intermittent stutter you'd notice in gaming would be those 1% and .1% lows...the dips in frame rate (spikes in frame time)
I noticed the AMD cards have much higher lows than do the NV cards...any comments on that???
can you try to get your hands on an Asrock model? challenger or tai chi, im just really curious to see how asrock is doing with their first high end gpu.
The latest update gave Radeon Image Sharpening to lower end GPUs, but I don't see Vega listed... lol?
le NDA lifteroo 👍
#AskGN is the Red Dragon *XT* on your agenda or not really?
When does this become publicly available for purchase?
