I absolutely love the rx 5700/ rx 5700xt reference models. Got myself a reference 5700xt and boy does it run hot, but it definitely handles anything I throw at it.
I have a sapphire nitro plus version. I undervolted and overclocked it along with upping the max fan speed ( all in Radeon software). Now with max graphics in games like read dead 2 I get 65-70° c temps after an hour of playing
The GPU crisis wasn't bad if you had certain GPUs. You could free upgrade. I also had a RX 480 since 2017, I paid around 200 when it was new, got 350 on Ebay for it during the mining hype. I never believed someone would just press the immediate buy button and pay, but thats what happened. Insanity!
Nice video, keep the good work, I have the same 5700 for a year, the first time when I bought it for 100 euros it reached 106 degrees in the apex with the fan at 70%-80% (vacuum cleaner sound) after I opened it and saw the abomination of a dust cover covered the radiator (absolutely no air passed through it), I cleaned it and now it is at 80-90 degrees in heavy gaming and the fan stays at 40% With this video card and the rest of the components bought from facebook marketplace and flea market I managed to make a computer for under 400 euros The price of the components b450 mortar max - 15 euro (flea) ryzen 5 5600b- 80 euro (fb) 32gb ram corsair red led 4x8- 50 euro (fb) Some aero cool psu 600w- 3 euro (flea) One m2 ssd 500gb wit dram- 32 euro (new) Case- deepcool macube 110 wh- 75 euro (new) 2 cases fan corsair brush for- 2 euro (flea) And the 5700 for- 100 euro (fb) And all my pc peripheral are from the flea market.

Your english is fine mate. That said yeah I'd fork out for a reputable power supply. Better a £70 loss than a (potentially) £400 one that's my advice from hearing various horror stories. You take care man and i hope you enjoy your gaming rig!!! :-D
Bought a sapphire pulse one in 2019 for 290 euros and it's an absolutely great card, excepts it started giving some problems with the latest drivers, especially on vr, so hopefully they will fix it soon EDIT: they released new drivers 3 days ago 👍
I bought one for 270 euro when they were new, put the XT Bios on it like you. Gamed on it with the memory peaking at 108 degrees sometimes for a year or so! Mined on it running 95w/50 mhs then sold it to another miner at the height of the Etherium boom for 600 euro! Great card that paid for my RTX 3080, X570 Tomahawk, 5800X3D and Silent Base 802. Happy times! I wonder if it's still working because it was heavily abused.
I have no idea which one you got your hands on, because my 5700 xt is the MSI evoke OC edition, and even undervolted it sounds like a 747 taking off under load. Also, the hotspot reaches 112 degrees C, which is scaring me. I've read that this particular card struggles a lot with cooling, having 2 fans and a lack of thermal pads, so that might have something to do with it.
@@SuperSoundtracks that's crazy! Don't get me wrong, mine is still audible, but it's roughly in line with other cards I've owned. Have you tried repasting yours?
Should have bought 5700xt back then! Best bang for buck during last four years and still a decent card. GPU userbenchmark thrashes the card just like they do with every amd product. Paid nvidia shills. Bought a 7900xt to replace my ancient R390 8gb. If I had bought a 5700xt 4 years ago I wouldn't have upgraded yet.
That's totally crazy that you found it for that price during the crypto boom, because the 5700 XT is a very strong crypto mining card (much stronger than the 6700 XT, and I think stronger even than the 6800 XT). If you had known, you could have probably traded that for a 6700 XT last year, or just sold the 5700 XT to the highest bidder and then bought something like a 6700 XT with the money. The crypto boom was definitely on the decline back then, but 5700 XTs could not yet be found for a good price until late 2022.
This GPU is the best card you can get on a budget. In my testing, the XFX rx 5700 DD hitting 1900mhz on default bios setting and in performance, it is almost on par with rx 5700 xt. I hope you can get that variant too and compare it with the vanilla rx 5700.
i snatched one of those aliexpress refurbished ones for around 150k CLP (160 USD with current conversion rates) i'm fairly impressed with it's power per dollar offering, and it's been rock-solid. blew my old 1650S out of the park for like 30% less price
Great video! I've had my 5700 for over 4 years...bought for $300 on BF 4-5 months after release. Initially paired with an old oced 2500k at 70-80% utilization but double the performance of my RX 470 4gb. Now on a 5600x which maxes it out it has been a great card for the money...hope it lasts me another 3-4+ years. :)
To me, this is still a card worth buying. I even called it the "RX580 on steroids" considering that the gpu market in my country has so many of these selling for about 100-200 in US dollars by conversion
@@YigitCanAydinSS FYI the RX 480 is not a refresh of the RX 470. The 480 launched late June 2016, while the 470 launch early August 2016, a little over a month later.
The RX570 still is very interesting on the used market though, you can buy one in my country for 40 to 50 euros most of the time, for still quite a capable card for games up to about 2019.
There's such a lttle difference in the hardware the XT and non-XT versions won't make a huge difference. Especially since you can flash the XT vbios on to the non-xt. Shame it's the last generation of cards you can do that with.
I bought a new RX 6600 late last year for $200 new at a local tech store in Idaho, USA & man idk if I could be happier with any other choice. My i7 4790 had quite a bit more life in it over my prior GTX 970 & I mainly game at 4k. In the vast vast majority of titles it’s 99% usage on RX 6600, almost every game is at or above 60 fps & almost a year later I’m still incredibly happy with my purchase. Likely soon I’ll buy a cheap office PC with high end parts & add my GPU to that. Still however the 4790 goes strong, if a 5700 was available at the time for cheaper I likely would’ve purchased that instead but it has been super cool to turn on RT here or there.
Man, upgrade your CPU now! I went to almost the same with my PC. 4690K is a tad slower than yours, but my R9 280X died and i got an RX 6600 wich ran great. But when i paired it with an "old" i7 8700, the boost was great. not in every Situation. But it made everything work better together. Especially in more modern titles with more CPU load. I never thought this will change so much, but it did. Since an 8700 is around an Ryzen 3600, you could get a used AM4 Platform for really really cheap i would say. Than, you can also put a fast NVMe in your System. My z370 Board even has ReBAR working. An man. DDR4 Ram. make sure you can have fast Ram. Ryzen is a bit better with that as we now in these Generations. Sorry for being so direct. You know all this yourself i guess. It is just amazing to see how many people seem to pair Haswell and RX6000 Cards.
@@mynickisalreadytaken 😂 yo I totally agree, that's my plan atm to buy some office prebuilt full tower featuring at least a 6 core 12 thread CPU & move over my PSU/GPU. Also man if it isn't to much to say, we've got good taste! Until your 8700 we've had the same parts, I used to have a 4690k with a HD 7950! But yeah man that's a great idea, it'll only make me sad the longer I put it off. Some great info, thank you!
Got one of these last December and also did the bios flash trick. I replaced the stock thermal pad with conductonaut and the temps/noise is actually pretty acceptable even with a power limit of 225w. (yeah, when stock it's a pad for some reason. You need to add nylon washers under the mounting bracket when using other TIM though.)
The RX 5700XT is a brilliant little card, had it for around four years and it serves as my backup card which I'm more than sure will still serve fairly well.
I had a 5700xt for about a year, then sold it for almost $1000 usd during the gpu shortage and got myself a 3070ti. Then I bought a non-xt 5700 for my home theater pc for $140 usd once the shortage was over and it served me well for awhile. Ended up putting it in a flip pc when I got a 6800xt for my main build. 5700xt and non-xt were great cards.
Recently sold my low profile Rx 6400 to upgrade to something faster now that I have a full sized case and capable power supply and was planning on upgrading to an RX 6600 but at this point I'm thinking about saving myself a few $ and going for this. They disappeared from the market for a while during the pandemic, I didn't realize they made enough to be seeing them on the resale market. Score!
picked up my 5700xt openbox for $271 in 2019. the driver issues were super annoying but after about a year it was all good and I am still using it to this day. I think I will wait one more generation before upgrading
I had a 5700XT reference model golden sample from ASUS which I got for 330 euros back in late 2019. The original owner was actually a pro overclocker from Belgium and he had tried LN2 overclocking on it but some WD40, liquid metal, new thermal pads and an Accelero Xtreme IV cooler enabled a 2200mhz overclock, which basically made it as fast as a 2080. Scored 8200 in Unigine Superposition, which is only marginally below what my Powercolor RX 6700 10GB does in the exact same system.
I've been running my 5700XT for over two years and it's been pretty good. Surprised at how well it does in VR. Had some early issues with freezing/black screens but has been pretty stable since.
On my 5700 XT i could play Elden Ring at high/1440p/60fps just fine only few areas were problematic while for 98% of the time it was super solid 60fps. For $120 it's a steal.
Got miself an XFX version in early 2020 before the shortage shitshow. Has served me decently well (some early driver issues aside) and have started to think about a replacement only recently. Paired with an unlocked ryzen 3600 it made for a pretty solid desktop PC in these past 3 years and a half.
I built a duel 2080ti system and sold it a few months before the 30 series came out and I needed a cheap 1080p system to build in the mean time. I couldn't believe they were selling 5700's for like £150 not too long after they came out so they definitely were an amazing 1080p bargain for most of their lives. Served me well
bought my 5700 when it was still a new card, right before the prices went crazy. Still use it and haven't felt the need to upgrade. I got the XFX model but always loved the clean blower look of the reference card.
I bought a Sapphire Pulse non XT for £270 from Amazon Warehouse not long after release, after selling my 1070 for £330! I flashed it to an XT bios and it performed pretty close to the CT. No problems with heat and no problems with drivers !! Sold it if £630 to someone for mining and bought a 6700XT for £690. Crazy times.
But unfortunately, GPU prices are still sky high in my country (Vietnam) an RX 5700 here cost around 450 dollars, the RX 7900 XT goes up to 1370 USD as well. For the used market however, RX 5700 cost roughly around 120 - 150 USD.
I had the RX 570, 550, and later the 580 4gb and 8gb models. I know that was 2016, but by 2019 I was in Nvidia-land. Great video.
Рік тому+2
rx5700xt used yeah, one of best cards now Cheap, very good perf for its price(better than rx6600), only takes more power, with rebar enabled it is very similar with performance to 6600xt, but takes like 60-80w more
I bought the RX 5700 XT Gold version durect from AMD when they launched. That was a beast of a card and I sold it for a substantial profit during the mining boom.
I have a XFX RX 5700 XT reference card. I got it right after it's initial release. Let me tell you, that blower style fan can get pretty loud under full load. You would need some decent headphones to drown out most of that noise. I managed to get a full coverage water block for it soon after and I couldn't be happier with that cards performance. I'm still enjoying today.
I bought one of these exact reference cooler cards right at launch! Initial drivers were a bit rough, but once that got sorted out it's been awesome. Ripped through 1080p, and even does a bang-up job on 1440p if you're not playing the latest and most intense titles. Maybe I got lucky or maybe I am just used to blower coolers (had a reference 970 before it), but mine never felt as loud as everyone complained about them being (although I think that might have been more acute on the XT?). Happen to really love the aesthetic too. Really clean, simple card that doesn't protrude above the bracket or extend into the third slot. Throw on a backplate and it would be perfect.
My old Nitro+ is in my 10 year olds rig and I picked up a Mech OC 5700 XT for a $117 for my 8 year olds. Paired with Ryzen 5 2600’s. Solid for their needs at 1080p.
12400F the CPU I´m going to buy in a couple days. Have checked whats all available both new and used and the 12400F and a B760 are by far the best price-performance option available in Germany, already picked which mobo it´s going to be. Got a very weird requirement for a new mobo for most people, I need one with Toslink otherwise it´s a pass, don´t have a digital dolby amp to feed it analog. And I´m going to spend a few € extra for colour theme matching RAM (Fury Renegade 3600 CL16) for the Pro B760-P Wifi and a Pure Rock 2 Black Edition; black with silver accents, that´s going to look great. And RX 5700? Not for like 120-130€, in my case to replace a 480 Red Devil, for 80€ I wouldn´t think twice otherwise RX 6600 aren´t that much more used but I would rather go for a RX 6650XT which is 240€ brand new with two years warrenty, think a new one which in defenite wasn´t mined on is a bit more appealing in the end, also the additional perfomance nothing to be looked over either.
I used the MSI OC "Mech" version for a while and was very pleased with it. When I bought it the 5700XT version just didn't seem worth the extra premium to me. I never regretted it.
I havent used mine in almost 3 years, but i still pull it out and beat off to it, love the look of the blower cards and sadly they don't make em anymore....
I recently repaired a MSI 5700XT X GAMING - coming from a RX 580 4GB to this was a great leap in performance , I use it as me Budget Gaming pc i've built. a Gamble paid off as the GPU was on eBay as a faulty not working and managed to repair it via thermal re-paste and flash VBIOS as it was a custom BIOS (not Minning though) paid £80 with postage-average price of mine is around £170-£220 so absolute bargain i found but was lucky with fixing it
I'm still using my 5700 that I bought back in 2020 for somewhere around $330, it's held up pretty well. I haven't encountered the driver issues that you did, but I guess by then the drivers had probably matured a bit. It was an upgrade for me from an RX 480. Now I'm looking at either picking up a 7800XT or a 4070.... if the price gets pushed down, it's a horrible card at $600
Interesting, nearly identical tiers for my past and future upgrades too lol. RX 5500 when I wasn't gaming, RX 5700 XT/3060 Ti after the mining crash, maybe 7800 XT once it's cheaper. Below 7800 XT isn't compelling for an upgrade imo. I think I'll sell the 3060 Ti and keep 5700 XT for the secondary PC. 3060 Ti is bottlenecked due to the same 8gb of VRAM in some of my games anyway.
Just picked up an Asrock Taichi 5700 XT for $100, perfect for a "budget" build to play when I don't want to sit at my desk. Currently using it to play Forza Horizon 5 @ 4k 60fps with High settings and AMD CAS turned to "Quality". Absolutely boggling what $100 got me!
Just picked up one of these renewed from AliExpress for CAD$190 (about $140 USD) and paired it with a Ryzen 5 5600. It’s an absolute beast for just about any game at 1080p! And the upcoming FSR 3 (which will hopefully get quick support in lots of games) should further improve performance with less visual fidelity loss than FSR 2.
This is the build im currently pitting together. Somewhat on a budget. How's it performing? I mostly play offline single player games. Was considering the 6700xt. But this might just be okay.
I love my Gigabyte 5700xt, got mine with a broken pc, the whole setup cost me $375usd, and all i had to do to fix the pc was replace the cpu, Ryzen 3 3600 replaced with r5 5600. The set up included a asus tuff gaming x570 mother board, 2 sceptre 22' monitors, stand, nice mic, 32 gb of gskill ripjaw ram, 500gb ssd,2tb hdd, cooler master cooler, cheaper antec case, evga 650w gs, and razer mouse and keyboard, plus speakers and mouse pad. Best deal of my life.
Still running my 5700xt Nitro+, it gets up to 2100mhz when OCed. I've never been more satisfied with a GPU. I did buy it when it was first released, right before the shortage for $420. CP2077 is the newest game I play that I can't max out comfortably- mixed medium/high settings and I get 60fps @ 1440p
I bought an RX 5700XT for about $150 earlier this year and I'm pretty happy with it. Then again I don't play the most demanding games, but Elden Ring in 1440p was what prompted the upgrade from my previous RX 480 and that seems to run just fine at high settings.
The driver timeouts on my 5700xt Strix were literally toxic, almost always when I was top 10/5 in Warzone then BOOM 💥 strait to desktop no passing go and restart pc to re-initialize drivers.. Almost felt bad selling it.
I'm just waiting for mine in the post, awesome! Funny synchronicity, got it for space engine as my gaming is not particularly demanding.....I'll let you know....;D
I absolutely love this card. Bought one earlier this year, replacing an rx 580. It is a cool card, silent as can be ( XFX 2-fans model) and goes nicely with my r5 5600. With a 75 hz monitor and playing 1080p I couldn't ask more from it. The difference in price between this and the XT is significant where I live, around 60 dollars, and when compared to the rx6600 it is literally half its price. Love it to bits!
March 2011 is when 1080P became the standard gaming resolution (via Steam survey). And today, in 2023, you're using Dynamic Resolution to run 1080P. That's great? I purchased a 120Hz 1080P monitor back in 2012. I didn't buy it to run at 60Hz. That would be dumb. Now it's 2023 and I've got a much faster modern GPU and Nvidia want to me to use fake frames to even reach 60fps at 1080P. We're being lied to.
Excelent card, i had a Power Color Red Dragon early this year and with MPT and RBE i manage to increase the clock to 1900Mhz, nice bump in performance, can't go higher bc of insufficient cooling but a really good card for the price, had a rx 6600 too and i felt the 5700 with more fps at high resolution, ie 1440 uw in my case
My 5700xt died in a thunderstorm at the weekend. Im gutted as it has been a brilliant card. I have put my noisy old R9 390 back in until Scan get a restock of 7800xt's, and i am surprised how well it performs with the '22 drivers.
Dropped this in my son’s PC, and for his games (Roblox, Minecraft, and stuff like citIes skylines), it works well on 1440p. Paired with a 5600 non x and he loves it. Probably going to drop a 7700 or 7800 in for a solid upgrade for a few years.
I'm rocking the 5700xt as the last reference style blower card ever for my mini itx to keep hot air out. Also heaps dissipate hot air in the case out lol. I wish it was more efficient like the nvidia cards or 6000 series amd, but it does its job for now still
I finally got the rx5700 Sapphire finally and tbh I just hate how over glorified the rx5700xt and it just keeps bugging me and tbh thanks a lot for being so unbiased it was only because of you I was able to judge comfortably what I needed, I got my rx5700 Sapphire for 162 dollars and I think it is a good bargain, I wont be overclocking or flashing this at all and tbh I thought I would ask you, So yeah I hope you are able to respond and man I love u so much you might just be my all most favorite tech youtuber
the 5700xt is a 1080p powerhouse but struggles at 1440p in heavier scenarios i kinda wish I didn't get a 1440p monitor with my recent build but also that will be useful when i upgrade to a card that can easily handle it. And my overclocked ryzen 5 3600 sits below 60% use in most cases too so there's surely headroom
I have a RX 5700 bios flashed to RX 5700XT paired with R5 3600/16GB 3200mhz RAM. It's a great budget gaming combo if you don't care about RT. Runs 95-99% games at Ultra/1080p/60fps. You can even go for 1440p, if you use FSR 2. Overall a great GPU. Also, it'll have FSR 3 support too which is great.
I just got 5700XT OC edition for 150$. Paired it with my Ryzen 5 3600. It's still a very good card. I only play in 1080p, so this one is still more than enough for that.
I wonder how it would stack up with the Pro Variant I have coming in soon. AMD Radeon Pro W5700 shares the core with the 5700 XT but with lower TDP and Pro drivers I suspect it will perform closer to the non-XT in games
It's one of the graphics cards of all time, that's for sure. Jokes aside, I was kind of considering it (the XT one I mean), for the price it's a nice card, but the 8GB or ram was a no go in 2023. Ended up getting the 6700 XT which is a considerable upgrade.
I got the 5700 Red Devil version back in late 2019. Really liked the card and would have been perfect for me but I could not get it to stop crashing in MW2019 and WZ no matter what drivers or updates I tried. Gave it away for practically a song in 2020
There's something about those beautifully simple cooling shrouds that appeal to me more than the ones trying so hard to scream "look at how GAMER I am."
I literally just took mine out of my system and upgraded to a 4060 today! This thing caused so many headaches with awful drivers and finally basically died on me after years of driver related issues and crashes, with artifacts and crashing.
One main advantage to point out that the 5700 has over the 6600 is that it has a full 16 lanes of PCIE Gen 4. That could come in VERY handy if you ever go over that 8 GB VRAM buffer.
I bought the same rx 5700 blower style for 90 euros. Pair it with a ryzen 5 3600 and you have a very solid budget gaming pc.

This GPU is the best card you can get on a budget. In my testing, the XFX rx 5700 DD hitting 1900mhz on default bios setting and in performance, it is almost on par with rx 5700 xt. I hope you can get that variant too and compare it with the vanilla rx 5700.
I had the DD ultra model too loved that card so much when I upgraded I went with XFX’s 6900xt
i snatched one of those aliexpress refurbished ones for around 150k CLP (160 USD with current conversion rates) i'm fairly impressed with it's power per dollar offering, and it's been rock-solid. blew my old 1650S out of the park for like 30% less price
*Same here, made some videos on them*
Got an Dell OEM 5700XT for 90USD, paired with an i5 11400F, absolutely love the performance it gives
One of my PCs is the exact same but an Asus dual 5700 XT. Quite smooth for 1080p ultrawide and undervolts easily.
Great video! I've had my 5700 for over 4 years...bought for $300 on BF 4-5 months after release. Initially paired with an old oced 2500k at 70-80% utilization but double the performance of my RX 470 4gb. Now on a 5600x which maxes it out it has been a great card for the money...hope it lasts me another 3-4+ years. :)
To me, this is still a card worth buying. I even called it the "RX580 on steroids" considering that the gpu market in my country has so many of these selling for about 100-200 in US dollars by conversion
RX 580 is a PoS.
Refresh of 480. Which was refresh of 470. Which runs like R9 390X.
@@YigitCanAydinSS FYI the RX 480 is not a refresh of the RX 470. The 480 launched late June 2016, while the 470 launch early August 2016, a little over a month later.
The RX570 still is very interesting on the used market though, you can buy one in my country for 40 to 50 euros most of the time, for still quite a capable card for games up to about 2019.
@@jtenorj It was released to the public a month later. Not to AMD like Gamers Nexus said. It's a refresh of 470
Still a great card these days for 1080p.
But as you mentioned the XT version should hold up a little longer in some games. 🙂
There's such a lttle difference in the hardware the XT and non-XT versions won't make a huge difference. Especially since you can flash the XT vbios on to the non-xt. Shame it's the last generation of cards you can do that with.
I bought a new RX 6600 late last year for $200 new at a local tech store in Idaho, USA & man idk if I could be happier with any other choice.
My i7 4790 had quite a bit more life in it over my prior GTX 970 & I mainly game at 4k. In the vast vast majority of titles it’s 99% usage on RX 6600, almost every game is at or above 60 fps & almost a year later I’m still incredibly happy with my purchase.
Likely soon I’ll buy a cheap office PC with high end parts & add my GPU to that. Still however the 4790 goes strong, if a 5700 was available at the time for cheaper I likely would’ve purchased that instead but it has been super cool to turn on RT here or there.
Man, upgrade your CPU now! I went to almost the same with my PC. 4690K is a tad slower than yours, but my R9 280X died and i got an RX 6600 wich ran great. But when i paired it with an "old" i7 8700, the boost was great. not in every Situation. But it made everything work better together. Especially in more modern titles with more CPU load. I never thought this will change so much, but it did.
Since an 8700 is around an Ryzen 3600, you could get a used AM4 Platform for really really cheap i would say. Than, you can also put a fast NVMe in your System. My z370 Board even has ReBAR working. An man. DDR4 Ram. make sure you can have fast Ram. Ryzen is a bit better with that as we now in these Generations.
Sorry for being so direct. You know all this yourself i guess. It is just amazing to see how many people seem to pair Haswell and RX6000 Cards.
@@mynickisalreadytaken 😂 yo I totally agree, that's my plan atm to buy some office prebuilt full tower featuring at least a 6 core 12 thread CPU & move over my PSU/GPU.
Also man if it isn't to much to say, we've got good taste! Until your 8700 we've had the same parts, I used to have a 4690k with a HD 7950!
But yeah man that's a great idea, it'll only make me sad the longer I put it off.
Some great info, thank you!
Got one of these last December and also did the bios flash trick. I replaced the stock thermal pad with conductonaut and the temps/noise is actually pretty acceptable even with a power limit of 225w. (yeah, when stock it's a pad for some reason. You need to add nylon washers under the mounting bracket when using other TIM though.)
The RX 5700XT is a brilliant little card, had it for around four years and it serves as my backup card which I'm more than sure will still serve fairly well.
I had a 5700xt for about a year, then sold it for almost $1000 usd during the gpu shortage and got myself a 3070ti. Then I bought a non-xt 5700 for my home theater pc for $140 usd once the shortage was over and it served me well for awhile. Ended up putting it in a flip pc when I got a 6800xt for my main build. 5700xt and non-xt were great cards.
Recently sold my low profile Rx 6400 to upgrade to something faster now that I have a full sized case and capable power supply and was planning on upgrading to an RX 6600 but at this point I'm thinking about saving myself a few $ and going for this. They disappeared from the market for a while during the pandemic, I didn't realize they made enough to be seeing them on the resale market. Score!
picked up my 5700xt openbox for $271 in 2019. the driver issues were super annoying but after about a year it was all good and I am still using it to this day. I think I will wait one more generation before upgrading
been looking at this card for a while, nice to see some benchmarks!
I had a 5700XT reference model golden sample from ASUS which I got for 330 euros back in late 2019. The original owner was actually a pro overclocker from Belgium and he had tried LN2 overclocking on it but some WD40, liquid metal, new thermal pads and an Accelero Xtreme IV cooler enabled a 2200mhz overclock, which basically made it as fast as a 2080. Scored 8200 in Unigine Superposition, which is only marginally below what my Powercolor RX 6700 10GB does in the exact same system.
🤡🤡🤡 350watts on that clocks. It’s impossible to run 5700xt on that clock and powers with accelero cooler, it’s pretty bad for memory thermals.
I just picked one of these up for my brother who's looking to get into PC gaming. Building him a budget rig with a Ryzen 5 2600.
Just got a 5700xt for my brother for christmas as he's still on a 580, tested it out myself and christ it holds up extremely well its ridiculous.
I've been running my 5700XT for over two years and it's been pretty good. Surprised at how well it does in VR. Had some early issues with freezing/black screens but has been pretty stable since.
This probably the next fine wine after RX580
Yeah 😁
Game developers will fix this nonsense
Rx 5700 reference + ryzen 5600x in Full HD (my experience):
- Cyberpunk 2077 (fsr off, ultra presets) 45-90 fps, avg fps 70;
- RDR 2 (ultra presets) avg fps 68;
- CS 2 (fsr off, ultra presets) 170-360 fps, avg fps 200;
- Doom Eternal (nightmare presets) avg fps. 220;
- Hogwarts Legacy (ultra/high presets) avg fps 70;
- God of war (fsr of, ultra presets) avg fps 80;
- Witcher 3: Wild hunt next gen (fsr on, nvidia hair off, ultra presets) avg fps 80.
Very good card!
On my 5700 XT i could play Elden Ring at high/1440p/60fps just fine only few areas were problematic while for 98% of the time it was super solid 60fps. For $120 it's a steal.
Got one for 80$, very happy with it
Got miself an XFX version in early 2020 before the shortage shitshow. Has served me decently well (some early driver issues aside) and have started to think about a replacement only recently. Paired with an unlocked ryzen 3600 it made for a pretty solid desktop PC in these past 3 years and a half.
I built a duel 2080ti system and sold it a few months before the 30 series came out and I needed a cheap 1080p system to build in the mean time. I couldn't believe they were selling 5700's for like £150 not too long after they came out so they definitely were an amazing 1080p bargain for most of their lives. Served me well
bought my 5700 when it was still a new card, right before the prices went crazy. Still use it and haven't felt the need to upgrade. I got the XFX model but always loved the clean blower look of the reference card.
I bought a Sapphire Pulse non XT for £270 from Amazon Warehouse not long after release, after selling my 1070 for £330!
I flashed it to an XT bios and it performed pretty close to the CT. No problems with heat and no problems with drivers !!
Sold it if £630 to someone for mining and bought a 6700XT for £690. Crazy times.
But unfortunately, GPU prices are still sky high in my country (Vietnam) an RX 5700 here cost around 450 dollars, the RX 7900 XT goes up to 1370 USD as well.
For the used market however, RX 5700 cost roughly around 120 - 150 USD.
Currently I'm looking exactly for a 5700 myself.. Will suit my needs perfectly, just need to get lucky with taxes and I'll get one
Had a 5700xt before the 6700xt. Cracking budget 1080p card so not surprised this one delivers as well. Good video matey.
My son has this card, was my old one. Still a 1080p beast for most games.
Bought it Nov '19 @ at 312 shipped being 50$ off in 2019 flashed the XT bios and now it's my backup GPU . Solid card no issues whatsoever
I had the RX 570, 550, and later the 580 4gb and 8gb models. I know that was 2016, but by 2019 I was in Nvidia-land. Great video.
rx5700xt used yeah, one of best cards now
Cheap, very good perf for its price(better than rx6600), only takes more power, with rebar enabled it is very similar with performance to 6600xt, but takes like 60-80w more
I bought one in very early 2020 for £260 brand new. Served me well over the years, its still in my PC now.
I bought the RX 5700 XT Gold version durect from AMD when they launched. That was a beast of a card and I sold it for a substantial profit during the mining boom.
I have a XFX RX 5700 XT reference card. I got it right after it's initial release. Let me tell you, that blower style fan can get pretty loud under full load. You would need some decent headphones to drown out most of that noise. I managed to get a full coverage water block for it soon after and I couldn't be happier with that cards performance. I'm still enjoying today.
I scored a 5700xt msi model on ebay for $100 usd a few months ago and put it into the wifes pc, it has been a solid card and I couldn't be happier.
I bought one of these exact reference cooler cards right at launch! Initial drivers were a bit rough, but once that got sorted out it's been awesome. Ripped through 1080p, and even does a bang-up job on 1440p if you're not playing the latest and most intense titles.
Maybe I got lucky or maybe I am just used to blower coolers (had a reference 970 before it), but mine never felt as loud as everyone complained about them being (although I think that might have been more acute on the XT?). Happen to really love the aesthetic too. Really clean, simple card that doesn't protrude above the bracket or extend into the third slot. Throw on a backplate and it would be perfect.
My old Nitro+ is in my 10 year olds rig and I picked up a Mech OC 5700 XT for a $117 for my 8 year olds. Paired with Ryzen 5 2600’s. Solid for their needs at 1080p.
12400F the CPU I´m going to buy in a couple days. Have checked whats all available both new and used and the 12400F and a B760 are by far the best price-performance option available in Germany, already picked which mobo it´s going to be. Got a very weird requirement for a new mobo for most people, I need one with Toslink otherwise it´s a pass, don´t have a digital dolby amp to feed it analog. And I´m going to spend a few € extra for colour theme matching RAM (Fury Renegade 3600 CL16) for the Pro B760-P Wifi and a Pure Rock 2 Black Edition; black with silver accents, that´s going to look great. And RX 5700? Not for like 120-130€, in my case to replace a 480 Red Devil, for 80€ I wouldn´t think twice otherwise RX 6600 aren´t that much more used but I would rather go for a RX 6650XT which is 240€ brand new with two years warrenty, think a new one which in defenite wasn´t mined on is a bit more appealing in the end, also the additional perfomance nothing to be looked over either.
Didn't expect RX 5700 delivers a quite smooth experience at medium settings, eventhough dynamic scaling is needed.
I used the MSI OC "Mech" version for a while and was very pleased with it. When I bought it the 5700XT version just didn't seem worth the extra premium to me. I never regretted it.
I havent used mine in almost 3 years, but i still pull it out and beat off to it, love the look of the blower cards and sadly they don't make em anymore....
I bought a reference one as well recently for $100. It has been great for 1080p
I just got a 2 fan 5700 xt for 100 off Facebook marketplace and I gotta say I’m pretty happy with it
I recently repaired a MSI 5700XT X GAMING - coming from a RX 580 4GB to this was a great leap in performance , I use it as me Budget Gaming pc i've built.
a Gamble paid off as the GPU was on eBay as a faulty not working and managed to repair it via thermal re-paste and flash VBIOS as it was a custom BIOS (not Minning though)
paid £80 with postage-average price of mine is around £170-£220 so absolute bargain i found but was lucky with fixing it
I'm still using my 5700 that I bought back in 2020 for somewhere around $330, it's held up pretty well. I haven't encountered the driver issues that you did, but I guess by then the drivers had probably matured a bit. It was an upgrade for me from an RX 480. Now I'm looking at either picking up a 7800XT or a 4070.... if the price gets pushed down, it's a horrible card at $600
Interesting, nearly identical tiers for my past and future upgrades too lol. RX 5500 when I wasn't gaming, RX 5700 XT/3060 Ti after the mining crash, maybe 7800 XT once it's cheaper. Below 7800 XT isn't compelling for an upgrade imo.
I think I'll sell the 3060 Ti and keep 5700 XT for the secondary PC. 3060 Ti is bottlenecked due to the same 8gb of VRAM in some of my games anyway.
I know performance is more important but I love the looks of this card. My backup rig has this RX5700 blower card in the MSI variant.
This GPU is the current price/performance sweet spot. Bought used that is.
I used the Kraken G12 bracket to mount an AIO to my 5700xt and went from mid 80’s to 60’s under heavy work loads. Amazing cards
Just picked up an Asrock Taichi 5700 XT for $100, perfect for a "budget" build to play when I don't want to sit at my desk. Currently using it to play Forza Horizon 5 @ 4k 60fps with High settings and AMD CAS turned to "Quality". Absolutely boggling what $100 got me!
Not a 5700 but I was able to snag a Asrock Challenger Rx6600 for $140USD open box. And it was a brilliant upgrade from my Rx580 Red Devil!
Just picked up one of these renewed from AliExpress for CAD$190 (about $140 USD) and paired it with a Ryzen 5 5600. It’s an absolute beast for just about any game at 1080p!
And the upcoming FSR 3 (which will hopefully get quick support in lots of games) should further improve performance with less visual fidelity loss than FSR 2.
This is the build im currently pitting together. Somewhat on a budget. How's it performing?
I mostly play offline single player games. Was considering the 6700xt. But this might just be okay.
I love my Gigabyte 5700xt, got mine with a broken pc, the whole setup cost me $375usd, and all i had to do to fix the pc was replace the cpu, Ryzen 3 3600 replaced with r5 5600. The set up included a asus tuff gaming x570 mother board, 2 sceptre 22' monitors, stand, nice mic, 32 gb of gskill ripjaw ram, 500gb ssd,2tb hdd, cooler master cooler, cheaper antec case, evga 650w gs, and razer mouse and keyboard, plus speakers and mouse pad. Best deal of my life.
Still running my 5700xt Nitro+, it gets up to 2100mhz when OCed. I've never been more satisfied with a GPU. I did buy it when it was first released, right before the shortage for $420. CP2077 is the newest game I play that I can't max out comfortably- mixed medium/high settings and I get 60fps @ 1440p
Got the 50th Anniversary Evoke edition of the 5700XT and i love it, getting held back by my i7-2600 tho 😬
Overclock it the CPU (K prefix?)
I bought an RX 5700XT for about $150 earlier this year and I'm pretty happy with it. Then again I don't play the most demanding games, but Elden Ring in 1440p was what prompted the upgrade from my previous RX 480 and that seems to run just fine at high settings.
The driver timeouts on my 5700xt Strix were literally toxic, almost always when I was top 10/5 in Warzone then BOOM 💥 strait to desktop no passing go and restart pc to re-initialize drivers.. Almost felt bad selling it.
I'm just waiting for mine in the post, awesome! Funny synchronicity, got it for space engine as my gaming is not particularly demanding.....I'll let you know....;D
I absolutely love this card. Bought one earlier this year, replacing an rx 580. It is a cool card, silent as can be ( XFX 2-fans model) and goes nicely with my r5 5600. With a 75 hz monitor and playing 1080p I couldn't ask more from it. The difference in price between this and the XT is significant where I live, around 60 dollars, and when compared to the rx6600 it is literally half its price. Love it to bits!
I have rx 5700 flashed with xt bios i still get great performance.
The bios flash tweak is so cool 😁
@@RandomGaminginHD i have tripple fan model so no issue with temps
March 2011 is when 1080P became the standard gaming resolution (via Steam survey). And today, in 2023, you're using Dynamic Resolution to run 1080P. That's great? I purchased a 120Hz 1080P monitor back in 2012. I didn't buy it to run at 60Hz. That would be dumb. Now it's 2023 and I've got a much faster modern GPU and Nvidia want to me to use fake frames to even reach 60fps at 1080P. We're being lied to.
The 5700s and XT GPU's were the last time i remember you could get a higher end GPU for less then £400 new
"its time to upgrade your pc" -Todd Shill Howard.
Excelent card, i had a Power Color Red Dragon early this year and with MPT and RBE i manage to increase the clock to 1900Mhz, nice bump in performance, can't go higher bc of insufficient cooling but a really good card for the price, had a rx 6600 too and i felt the 5700 with more fps at high resolution, ie 1440 uw in my case
I used this exact GPU to build my step son his first rig paired really good with a i7 6700 great 1080p system total build cost was under 400 bucks
My 5700xt died in a thunderstorm at the weekend. Im gutted as it has been a brilliant card. I have put my noisy old R9 390 back in until Scan get a restock of 7800xt's, and i am surprised how well it performs with the '22 drivers.
Dropped this in my son’s PC, and for his games (Roblox, Minecraft, and stuff like citIes skylines), it works well on 1440p. Paired with a 5600 non x and he loves it. Probably going to drop a 7700 or 7800 in for a solid upgrade for a few years.
I'm rocking the 5700xt as the last reference style blower card ever for my mini itx to keep hot air out. Also heaps dissipate hot air in the case out lol. I wish it was more efficient like the nvidia cards or 6000 series amd, but it does its job for now still
i bought a SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 5700 XT Special Edition for 120 usd 3 months and i'm very happy with my decision.
your videos are always so relaxing idk why... thank you :D have a wonderful day
Still rocking this card today! Well the MSI model.
I finally got the rx5700 Sapphire finally and tbh I just hate how over glorified the rx5700xt and it just keeps bugging me and tbh thanks a lot for being so unbiased it was only because of you I was able to judge comfortably what I needed, I got my rx5700 Sapphire for 162 dollars and I think it is a good bargain, I wont be overclocking or flashing this at all and tbh I thought I would ask you, So yeah I hope you are able to respond and man I love u so much you might just be my all most favorite tech youtuber
got a red devil 5700xt 2 weeks ago for 105 gbp. what an absolute steal. nice card .
the 5700xt is a 1080p powerhouse but struggles at 1440p in heavier scenarios
i kinda wish I didn't get a 1440p monitor with my recent build but also that will be useful when i upgrade to a card that can easily handle it. And my overclocked ryzen 5 3600 sits below 60% use in most cases too so there's surely headroom
In Cyberpunk turn down the volumetric fog things, you’ll get a nice +10 to +30% performance bump.
I have a RX 5700 bios flashed to RX 5700XT paired with R5 3600/16GB 3200mhz RAM. It's a great budget gaming combo if you don't care about RT. Runs 95-99% games at Ultra/1080p/60fps. You can even go for 1440p, if you use FSR 2. Overall a great GPU. Also, it'll have FSR 3 support too which is great.
I just got 5700XT OC edition for 150$. Paired it with my Ryzen 5 3600. It's still a very good card. I only play in 1080p, so this one is still more than enough for that.
Great card with a Ryzen and 16gb of ram, 1444p is just about available 🎉
Everyone should flash the XT bios on the 5700 using more power tool. Literal free performance on the table
I wonder how it would stack up with the Pro Variant I have coming in soon. AMD Radeon Pro W5700 shares the core with the 5700 XT but with lower TDP and Pro drivers I suspect it will perform closer to the non-XT in games
Great timing just snagged one for $107 / $85.25 plus tax and shipping haha planning to flash to xt
I got one for $110CAD and i'm super happy with it, paired with a ryzen 5 3600 that I got for $80CAD and it makes for a great budget gaming pc.
It's one of the graphics cards of all time, that's for sure.
Jokes aside, I was kind of considering it (the XT one I mean), for the price it's a nice card, but the 8GB or ram was a no go in 2023. Ended up getting the 6700 XT which is a considerable upgrade.
Have a sapphire pulse 5700 with the XT bios. Absolutely brilliant card.
I paid 120 with shipping for my 5700XT. This was a year ago and the card works perfectly fine.
That cooler model is so clean
Looks a great upgrade to replace my dters RX570 4gb! Thanks for reviewing👍
I got the 5700 Red Devil version back in late 2019. Really liked the card and would have been perfect for me but I could not get it to stop crashing in MW2019 and WZ no matter what drivers or updates I tried. Gave it away for practically a song in 2020
There's something about those beautifully simple cooling shrouds that appeal to me more than the ones trying so hard to scream "look at how GAMER I am."
I literally just took mine out of my system and upgraded to a 4060 today! This thing caused so many headaches with awful drivers and finally basically died on me after years of driver related issues and crashes, with artifacts and crashing.
One main advantage to point out that the 5700 has over the 6600 is that it has a full 16 lanes of PCIE Gen 4. That could come in VERY handy if you ever go over that 8 GB VRAM buffer.
Nice vid. I just bought the 5700XT for a 100 usd. I planned to pair it with a 12400F.
