ASRock RX 5700 XT Taichi X Review: Most Money Isn't Most Best
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- The ASRock RX 5700 XT Taichi X OC+ video card is one of the most expensive versions of the Navi GPU. We're testing it vs. Sapphire Nitro, Gigabyte Gaming OC, XFX THICC, & more.
Ad: Buy Thermaltake's C360 Kit on Amazon (geni.us/LWNv5AW)
The ASRock RX 5700 XT Taichi might be listed on Amazon at some point: geni.us/NnBRx
Find the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ on Amazon: geni.us/Wybi
Or Gigabyte's 5700 XT Gaming OC on Amazon (for a lower price): geni.us/4qEqz5r
ASRock's RX 5700 XT Taichi X OC+ uses a triple-fan solution for the GPU, with a price that puts it distant even from the Sapphire Nitro+ OC and MSI Evoke OC. Regardless, the list of tested AMD RX 5700 XT graphics cards is now growing, and we have data for the reference card, Gigabyte Gaming OC, MSI Evoke OC, ASRock Taichi, Sapphire Pulse, and a couple more coming. The battle for best RX 5700 XT is still raging on, and with the prices we're seeing, it's going to boil-down mostly to categories of "good enough" at a given price.

Or watch our XFX THICC fix here: ua-cam.com/video/SF1Zs3unEto/v-deo.html
Yep
lol
All animals are equal, but some animal video cards are more equal than others
I'm waiting for you to do two things:
1) Destroy XFX with a review of the newest THICC card
2) create a standardized TDP Testing system so that we as consumers can goddamn finally figure out which Processors actually use less power and or power more efficiently because it's so bloody annoying that either AMD or Intel use the same standards.
what about MSI Gaming X or Mech series?
Minor correction, Steve:
it's "most bestest", not "most best".
"Mostest Bestest" I imagine you meant to say
Hei, cute himb an brake, he is not bestest on englishing.
@Mac McDonald bestester?
I appreciate it a lot and give huge props for Steve repeating in every. Single. Video. That gaming performance is the same brand to brand and oc only varies bcs of silicon, not pcb.
It is a very important piece of information, but most would likely drop it after the third time. Not GN.
I respect your scientific approach a lot and that is the reason why I use this channels as my main way for tech news.
Thank you.
IF someone is thinking about buying a certain card, they might see the GN review of that card only. Thats why I think Steve says it Every video
No word at all about the 6 display out ports that are only available on the Taichi? I mean its still expensive but at least it has something nobody else has
What if your mobo has 2 ports as well though 🤔
Ain't nobody gonna use an 8 monitor setup right?
@@holo6883 u ignored his comment lol... no one said anything about the mobo.
@@TheRealPunisher I mean. If you have 6 monitors with 4 ports on the GPU and 2 on the mobo you're good right?
@@holo6883 mobo ports are for integrated gpus i think
@@holo6883 Yeah, please try to use the Mobo ports with something like a Ryzen 7, good luck with that.
Should have made the fans look like cogs to match the Taichi board. Right now the LEDs look rather out of place with the Taichi look.
Hey there. I own an AMD RX 5700 XT, the Sapphire Pulse more precisely, my first AMD card after a period of nvidia ownership. However, I've been having a lot of problems with it (BSODs and blackouts mostly), in which i initially thought it was driver related. However, it looks like it was a problem related to the PCI-E riser, which is gen 3.0, but the whole system was running on 4.0. After some research, the riser was indeed a cause of issues, and in order to solve these I simply forced my motherboard to run on PCI 3.0 (Gigabyte X570 ITX here, which has such option). Many other people might be having the same problems, and blaming AMD for it (like i initially did :D), but in fact it's an issue related to outdated PCI-E risers. Im using a compact case (FTZ01-E), so I have to keep using the riser. I was lucky the Gigabyte MB allowed for a PCI Gen change in the bios, otherwise i'd be stuck with this. Maybe you'll find this piece of information useful to use in one of your videos in the future. Or not :D.
Eitherway, the issues are gone and the whole system is stable now. It's a pitty AMD are lacking on tech support for these kind of diagnostics, as I've only seen one of their tech support personnel answer to a client about this potential riser issue. Their adrenaline website (or the absence of it) could also use an overhaul in which patch and driver updates/news would be more easily communicated with the community, sort of what the Geforce Experience has.
I guess there is something to be said about not being on the bleeding edge of technology. Hence, I went with an X470 motherboard .... at least for now. I have no need for PCI-E 4.0 yet.
Wish mine was that simple but mine keeps crashing.. I went through changed the settings and still crashing.. I'm running a msi gaming edge x570, ryzen 9 3900x, 62gb ram, windows 10 pro, 750w power supply and the ASRock phantom gaming Rx 5700xt. It works fine with davinci resolve and normal use but once it loads a game is quickly over heats and crashes :/
It looks so unbelievably tackey. I just had to drop this before I watch.
I dunno, the style jives with me but than again I've usually liked how ASRock has styled the majority of their products....
Goes in line with their taichi motherboard, I suppose.
It's the single RGB fan mostly, if you get rid of that it has a decent steampunk look to it.
Then I love unbelievable tacky.
My main problems with this are: aesthetics; none of the gears on the backplate mesh with each other, and performance; they could've fit a bigger fan in the middle had they omitted the RGB lights surrounding it.
In the Netherlands, reference 5700xt = $ 471. Asrock taichi 5700xt = $ 621. These prices are converted from euro to dollar
Most of Europe is getting shafted for years now with price conversion for pc parts.
Same in Israel, this is why you need to convert what Steve says about price to percentages and to your currency (explanation for those who don't follow).
E.g if card1 costs $400 (for sake of example) and Steve says card2 costs $440, that's a 10% increase in price - for better or for worse.
If then card1 costs $600 (euro converted) in your country and card2 costs $660, then it is fine - you can't really escape your country's taxes and/or import fees.
BUT if card2 costs $680 then you can say it costs "more than it should".
I have learned long ago that unless you can get a good price suddenly in Amazon or in a local retail, you will HAVE to accept this price % difference, otherwise you will never buy a new card because they will all seem "overpriced".
@Keretizein x Exactly.
The 2070S is ~10% more expensive where I live so might as well go for 5700XT.
Then again, some 1080tis go for same price as 5700XT here so maybe getting that would be smarter, but I really don't want to buy a used card.
@Zwenk Wiel I searched the internet for an average percentage of tax on electronics and goods in the USA and found a list that shows an average of about 7% tax. (normally between 2,9% and 7,25% depending on the state) The price of the taichi 5700xt with 7% tax included is $ 513,- Converted to Euro's: € 465,- The true difference in price between the USA and the Netherlands in this case is $ 108,- and I still think this is quite a lot actually, hahaha ;)
Such a strange dilemma right now, for those of us interested in getting a new GPU.
You can buy a 5700XT card. You can purchase one of those new 20 Series SUPER cards.
But also being mindful, that Nvidia is set to go onto 7nm, and release their new GPUs by the 2nd quarter of next year. Then there's BIG NAVI looming in the distance. While Intel is ALSO about to be venturing into the GPU market as well...
Personally, I went with the cheap but reliable Pulse model and will keep an eye out on the new releases next year, maybe grab an upgrade towards the end of the year once everything has normalized from issues like garbage launch drivers and artifacting high end cards that we see from both companies every now and then
Bought a $280 Reference RX5700 and never looked back. At 4ft away I can't hear it over my headphones anyway under load.
I bought Nitro+ for Pulse price (me delivery got delayed) so im good ;)
There's always better tech just on the horizon. If you need to upgrade, just upgrade.
It is a good time to wait in my opinion, I just sold my 1080ti for a profit and im using a potato 1050 made by dell with a ek vardar 120mm fan strapped to it to get me by till something enticing comes along.
I just got this card for my 3950x builds , it performs well. Its not a budget card but its made well and looks fit the asrock steampunk theme perfectly.
So I don’t really know much, but I am buying this card. Do you need to put thermal paste on it when you get it?
I'm not sure if I haven't been paying attention, or if it just hit me with this review how much testing you guys have been doing. As you continue growing, and potentially gain more staff, it would not surprise me if you guys were the most recognized channel in scientific testing of hardware performance (if you aren't already.) I feel like calling you guys specialists, practitioners or even savants is an understatement.
Though, I don't wish to pressure you guys with such high sounding expectations. If you guys stayed the way you are, I would continue to watch every video you publish.
Most money?
*Laughs in ASUS ROG*
Yep
the rog non oc is only 20$ less than this
Be careful, the Strix fanboys will come after you xD
@@TADP0LE9806 Nah I'll get a pass for it, they don't harm one of their own kind. 😝
My local Micro Center has Strix 5700 xt OC for $20 cheaper than this card. Buildzoid's PCB review of he ASUS card was very positive. I am waiting to see a full and thorough review now. It will most likely run very cool, maybe even the coolest while it maintains the other typical 5700 xt performance levels.
All in all, an ASUS Strix for $20 more than some other cards, having better component parts and running cooler than most cards, that $20 might not matter too much.Though I figure many gamers have a tendency to stick to a build brand that they have or prefer when it comes down to a $20 +/- cost difference. $40 or $60 off of someone's preference can be a deal breaker. To each his own my friend.

On user benchmarks website it has the 5700xt taichi as #4 performance wise. #1 is gigabyte gv gaming oc at 117%; #2 is power cooler red devil at 115%; #3 is XFX Thicc III ultra at 115%; #4 is Asroch Taichi at 114%. the highest benchmark for the 2070 super is 123% with a lot of the non overclocked benchmarks around 114%. These are the only 4 that are high up there in benchmarks are worth it in my eyes as #5 and #6 are both the sapphires at 110% and 107%. I compare benchmarks with some youtubers and in games like rdr2 and gta V i keep up with the 2070 super with the asrock taichi. If you compare this with the thermals it may just be one of the best cards, it was just expensive at release but the price is defiantly going down.
The backplate looks fantastic imo. Very creative from asrock and matches their Taichi series MB'S. I think they dropped the ball on the fan shroud though.
This is the ultimate weapon against Linus

Setting up eyefinity should be much cheaper than Quadro sync.
@@allansh828 You will use a $500 5700XT for that? Don't old cheap quaddros exist or even 5870 Eyefinity editions?
Too bad, I kind of like the whole cog/gear steampunk atheistic besides the goofy looking single RGB fan.
that single fan kills it for me.
@@cancer7636 turning it off would do nothing to improve it, replacing it would, but why spend even more on it.
They really should have stuck to their established aesthetic model, kind of like they did on the backplate. More gears, less RGB.
@White Wolf Haha, ya. I'm an engineer, most of us are horrible at spelling.
Man Steve I really love your analysis. Even when I'm in a season on non gaming I truly enjoy the in depth look you give. Thank you.
thank you ive been waiting for your review on this card
something to have as just a good reference chart for comparisons, here are some examples of sounds and their noise levels:
70 dBA = group conversation, vacuum cleaner, alarm clock
60 dBA = typical conversation, dishwasher, clothes dryer
50 dBA = moderate rainfall
40 dBA = quiet room
30 dBA = whisper, quiet library

Wich one is the best Gamers Nexus? The best 5700 XT?
"plastic battlements" :D
I just ordered that Thermaltake kit literally 10 minute ago. I should have waited and ordered it through your link damn it. But that card looks sick If I didn’t already have the 2080ti ftw3 hybrid I would probably go for that one. I watch all your vids. I also own one of your mod mats.
good news friends, the price dropped to 428.69! it's now a viable purchase! and it comes stock overclocked for that price too, While im personally not a fan of stock overclocked cards, maybe someone would appreciate it
IMO, I think it's great that ASRock somewhat over engineered this thing rather than tried to cut corners to keep pricing and costs down. I do think they over did it a little but better that than a flagship design that performs like an entry level model and ruins their shiny new rep in the GPU market. It's got to be tough breaking into an already saturated market. With the last (and their first) wave of GPUs they were panned for high noise levels and weak/inadequate cooling. I imagine it's a fine line between adequate/profitable and overbuilt/expensive when it comes to cooling solutions. It looks like they have not quite found the sweet spot yet. I do like what I see, learning from feedback and trying to do better. They overshot with the Taichi but given pricing will come down and how well this GPU performs it could still be a great option when priced better.
As it stands it will likely only appeal to people who are willing to pay a premium for the aesthetics. IMO it's not all that unrealistic with the cost of an aftermarket GPU cooler (water or air) costing significantly more than the delta in price between this and more competitively priced GPUs. I am a huge fan of how well the GPU design compliments the X570 Taichi motherboard design. What this GPU does is allow even a relative novice PC builder to put together a system that looks custom built with minimal effort and know how. I would not be surprised to see the likes of newegg and amazon pushing bundles with this and the X570 Taichi.
Great review Steve.
You pay a bit of a price premium for the x570 Taichi, then you pay a bit of a price premium for the 5700 XT Taichi and you have some nice theming.... costing a price premium. Nothing new.
Thanks for this review as always however, I'm still waiting on a strix review from you. I am sure that I am not alone when I say that I value your candid no bs unbiased hairy opinion.
To help drive your point on the Auto controlled temperature tests would be to add dBA as a third bar on the graph. Could be confusing to some, I admit, but would visually illustrate the noise level to those of us paying attention.
Presently the nitro+ is running around $460 on Newegg. The MSI Gaming X is only $450 and is probably the best performer of the lot, also finding its way into my build. Hopefully you guys can get that card to review.
But MSI is slot-ripper (heavy af) and don't have all memory fully covered with thermal pads. How it impact reliability? I don't know, but personally I don't want test it and went into Nitro+.
I know it's a heavy beast, but it's very structurally rigid and sagging isn't particularly bad. It runs cool and quiet even compared to the red devil and has the lowest VRM temperature out of them all according to hardware unboxed. I would argue VRM cooling is more important for longevity over pure memory temperature, which is also fine for the card.
@@mantisman230 But If memory die, card die. Doesn't matters if VRM is still ok :D
Yeah, and the memory temperature is well below maximum and is on par with most of the other cards. It's not going to give out any time soon. Nitro+ stripped down components and is too expensive for what they did to the board.
@@mantisman230 Yes, but how it's measured? I doubt these 2 chips aren't hotter without half pads on them.
I am currently waiting for MSI 5700 XT Gaming X - I wanted Red Devil first, but no distribution in our country. The postage + the Red Devil price together was app. the price of Gaming X here, Nitro+ was more expensive. I was able to buy it on firm, so its like 20% cost reduction (I am building whole new PC)
What about the triple fan red devil? It wasn’t mentioned in comparison when you mentioned the Gigabyte, Nitro, and thic and even the pulse. Is that card not good?
it is probably the best value card. I really would like Steve to test it. Don't get why it is being avoided
First time making a GPU and expects us to pay the highest amount when there are established brands already such as Sapphire for cheaper. SMH
This isn't their first gpu. They had a Terrible 580.
as of today I'm only interested in graphics cards shaped like non-existing animals
Great review Steve. When will you be reviewing the Strix 5700xt.....I believe it's priced around 460.00 compared to the Nitro at 440.00. In consideration of the build quality and thermal overclocking, along with the price and warranty to chart these Navi 5700xt's position.
Personally I‘d say everything more expensive than the Nitro is hardly worth it over a RTX 2070 Super
@@meteormedia7021 Yes that's were I'm at with the price. I really really want to buy an AMD GPU because I think nvidia is price gauging everyone with rtx. Hopefully a new Navi 5800xt will launch soon.
Evga has a 'what' on the "Pin Fin" heatsink, lol, that's a good one. I'm really sure the various round/oval/square/rectangular/teardrop shaped pins arranged in grid/staggard "Pin Fin" heatsink has existed back to around the time of the steam engine, maybe earlier on some wood stoves. Pin Fin heat exchangers are nothing new, the machining process to make them, that manufacturing process may be patented (there is more than one way to forge/cast or extrude&cut a pin-fin, lol).
Great vid Steve and crew. B)
'ornate' is being very kind. The different middle fan treatment gives my brain the willies.
For me it still Sapphire Pulse or GB OC. Just waiting for better availability and hopefully a bit cheaper pricing. Sadly I need to upgrade the display also because my old ASUS works on 120Hz only via DualDVI and these RX5700 cards dont have it...
In my Country (Germany) even the Taichi X is still 71€ cheaper and the cheapest 2070S and the first one with 2 x HDMI is 171€ more expensive. (yes I need 2 x HDMI)
i don't regret my decision to go for a used GTX 1080 Ti instead and i only payed tha plazin' amount of exactly $420 for it :P
Looking forward to the review of Gaming X, I think the best of the 5700xt
8:58 What if you had a "noise vs temperature" XY graph, one axis beeing noise level in dB and the other beeing temperature?
I got my reference 5700 xt for 279..slapped a EK block on it for 130...and done. Yeah a bit more but its running as cool as it can get with no noise.
bought one, on Doom Eternal, 300 FPS, steady, everything on Ultra settings, on Titan Fall, you'd not believe the FPS it reaches! Insane, without OCing the card or touching the oc bios!
that and a ASUS 27'' 280Hz, shocked both my sons, with Nvidia cards, that are suppose to be far faster...
In my country, it is the cheapest model right after the base model with blower cooler. 400€, other brands range from 420€ to 500€.
Rating of Cards by VRM as per Buildzoid is 5700XT Strix, Red Devil, Reference, Nitro+. Im unsure where the others are.
I hope Buildzoid reviews them all
I hope asrock will respond properly to this. I really want this card, but only if it's on the $440-$450ish price :(
What's funny in today's prices in my country are 1660 Super and RX 5600 xt are almost priced the same as this expensive RX 5700 XT. There's about $30-$40 difference only and cheaper than 2070 super as well. That's the only reason why I'm going with this Taichi card. I hope it's still available 😂
I really like the new controlled ambient results. Really great and impressive work.
the best "5700" was the radeon VII :P trolling apart the MSI gaming X has basically the same bench results than the taichi so check out the price maybe it'll be a better option for you
I'd love to see a 5700 XT with binned, OC'd, heavily cooled memory. Dreaming of HBM2, but the fact that the architecture design has compatibility for it doesn't mean it could be implemented on a non-silicon level, which means Navi could never run on HBM. Future RDNA cards - who knows, probably ones more compute-oriented. Either way, this kind of customization is nowhere to be found on today's market. And to think we used to have custom memory configs, custom dual-GPU solutions, etc., all from card vendors. The word "card" means less and less in this industry, it's all about the GPU these days.
"Look at it" in Gordon Ramsay's voice...
Mike Gleason jr Couturier It’s Raaaaaw!!!
Would be nice to have a comparative video for all the 5700XT's after all of those get released.
With a bit tweaking with the fan curve it's actually a good option.
I got this card for my first build, on sale in newegg a few days ago for $430. Love the looks, works great. I do agree that I wouldn't pay $480 though.
Lol I sold mine for $800 a few weeks ago 😂
Paid about the same price a year ago
@@reddyuda I don't know where you sold it, but I also did about a month ago for 980 in ebay. Altogether I got little over 800 also for it. Man, what great purchase it was for me 🤣
Weird question: Why are your graphs and numbers a bit smudgy looking? Almost painterly. Always wondered that.
Nice detailed review, excited to see how the strix performs regardless of price, I am a strix fanboy
@mjv I can't help it I just love the way it looks and their stuff is always in the top best performance, my wallet says no but my heart says yes
when you doing the red devil and msi gaming X?
I want to buy this card simply to fit the scheme of my build.
The point of the 5700XT was performance to value, the higher it goes then the 2070 super (espeically OC'd to near 2080 levels) is the better choice. 550 CAD (or less) is the most anyone should pay for a 5700 XT.
BUT I ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY AFTER MY WIFE SAW THE RX 580 CUTE PET!
Removing the sticker on the back, than the Backplate looks damn sexy :S
I think, Asrock just testing their Brand power, especially Taichi sub-brand
If this, somehow, sell well they will mark Taichi as their "premium" product. LOL
Even though Asrock GPU quality is mediocre
I'm not gonna lie. Taichi motherboards are pretty nice.
@@CaveyMoth yep, it sure is
But not this. Not this
I don't know what they were thinking here. Its not bad, but they charge as if its the best 5700xt on the market. They go oddly half way on the gamer look, then make only one of the fans have lights on it instead of all 3. ASrock needs to fire someone, because everyone over there had different things in mind when making this GPU. Could have been a solid choice if it were cheaper, or they had gone for a higher quality build. Then just pick an aesthetic and stick with it. Go gamer look or don't. Go RGB or don't.
Looks like a GPU that Willy Wonka would have in his office.
When will you review the MSI RX 5700 XT GAMING X ??
It's potentially a card that will take the crown from Nitro+ as a 5700xt best card (thermals and performance)
the cogwheel on the back is worth 80 bucks
are you guys planing to review the asus strix 5700 XT at some point?
I am waiting for your Asus TUF & ROG RX 5700 XT reviews/tear down.
Considering that it's too big for the average case I don't understand what they were trying to achieve here
I got one for $430 including next day shipping and I love it
Please test the Asus Strix 5700XT is the only GPU ive yet to see much of any reviews I saw your PCB review of it which makes me even more interested to know the performance and cooling.
i do like the brass cogs on the backplate, but not worth the bucks. And wow you could see the tracer imprints in the thermal paste contact was most certainly being made.
I hate the front plate..... absolutely LOVE the backplate
Would love to see a review of the 5700XT Strix when you have a chance
Sapphire should consider making motherboards too... or at least design them. (Sapphire Nitro+ X670 sounds cool :D )
Love how in some charts the only card beating the Nitro+ is the Nitro+ itself
Can you review the MSI gaming x 5700 xt? I want to know if thermalpadgate is over.
Most expensive one i can find today (Dec 2019) is the PowerColor Liquid Devil Radeon RX 5700XT ($600 on Newegg.com)
Where I live, this card is 25 bucks less expensive than what I paid for my MSI RTX 2070S Gaming X Trio. ASrock got real cocky with that pricing
I had same situation but with Nitro+, went Gaming X Trio
@@SourNote93 no regrets, with adjusted fan curve temps rarely excel 60 C with +100/+1200 OC applied. Couldn't get more than +100 on core but damn that memory makes a huge difference.

@@SourNote93 yeah that cooler is a chonky one
probably should have mentioned that it is one of the only cards with 6 video outputs in existence.
I would love to sit down and just chat with Steve about computer hardware.
Still waiting for the MSI 5700 XT gaming x review.
Rocking it as always!
This card is listed on Amazon UK at £505 😳
Hell nah
That's not the point.
How much is the reference card being price there and at your country?
If it is listed in MSRP then your point stands.
If it is listed higher than MSRP then...you have no choice and these are the prices set in your country.
For context, reference is £350 and you can get the Red Dragon for £390. £505 is a 44% markup. You would have to be mad to pay a premium that high over reference for a 5700XT, no matter how much better the cooler is, because that 44% is going to translate, as Steve has continually stated, to no more than a 2~2.5% increase in frames. Add to that the fact that the 2070 super starts at around £490 and that's just another nail in the coffin. And stock is not an issue for the 5700 series over here, so it is just hilariously overpriced.
@@evilSapphie If EVERYTHING is overpriced where you live then it is another issue.
In Israel, a custom cooled 5700xt goes for £512, and a 2070 super goes for £606.
Israel has a 17% tax and some import fees, so it is not like the specific retail I chose has an insane markup - this is just how it is here.
So I compare in this example the 5700xt vs the 2070s and in my case, it is better to buy the 5700xt.
This is why I mentioned you should go for the % difference in price and not necessarily in performance - the moment you factor in each country's tax and import fees, the % in price to performance argument goes out the window and you will be stuck buying low-med cards that might seem cheap but are priced as high-end cards.
Bottom line - where I live, EVERYTHING has some markup because of tax and import fees - it is inescapable.
So how does it perform? It has higher clocks than any other 5700 XT. Would've been nice to know how it performs compared to a cheap 2070 Super for example. Also, it apparently has six display out ports. Could've been mentioned, since you are actually getting something extra for the extra money. I know you're sick and tired of reviewing 5700 XTs, but this seemed a bit on the lazier side compared to your other reviews.
He addresses this at the end of this video. The reason why he's not showing any performance benchmarks compared to other cards is because all 5700 XT models are pretty much identical, performance-wise. This particular card may have the highest clock speed out of all of them, but going above 2GHz yields pretty much no benefit for the Navi cards.
If you want a comparison to the 2070 Super, just find a different 5700 XT on any other review site, and look at the comparison there. Then buy whichever 5700 XT has the best cooling and simply overclock/undervolt to your heart's content.
I'm also really disappointed that the six display outputs wasn't mentioned. This is one of the few (only?) mid to high end cards on the market with 6 display outputs, it is a real point of difference. Sapphire used to have "Flex" model cards with extra display outputs which were significantly more expensive than their other models but it has been a long time since I've seen a graphics card with 6 display outputs. Also none of the current NVIDIA line up even counting customer boards seems to have more than 4 display outputs. Finally the Asrock page for this card it's listed in third place as one the features after "Taichi Triple Fans" and "3D Metal Backplate" so I don't know how it was missed because it is plain to see on the card.
I'd like to see a review of the Asus ROG Strix rx 5700 xt oc. Looking to maybe buy it and would like a review from gamers nexus. I wonder if it's worth the price. So far I've had great experiancess with the few rog things i've used.
I was wondering if GN and HUB are trying to make nVidia mad by testing every single 5700 XT there is available.
Please test the Gigabyte Windforce. Also, what do you have to set the power target to make the fans on the best 5700 XT cards stop spinning entirely? 🤓
I see only 1 extremely theoretical advantage to the Taichi X, and that is if someone absolutely NEEDED 4 Display-port outputs on a video card.
Well, I need 6 so it fits the bill for me. LOL
When your graphics card is so expensive to build that you can only afford one RGB fan.
This thing really looks like those weird Intel concept graphics cards.
Good to see ASRock is staying up to date since they first launched their Phantom Gaming line of parts. I'm an ASRock fan so this makes me happy.
Is there going to be a review for the Strix 5700 XT?
Glad I bought the pulse
I'm building my first PC at the moment. As much as I've researched and found the 5700xt to be a really good card, I'm just really nervous making a purchase with a lot of unstable drivers half of the time. Are the drivers as bad as they say? Would saving up for a 2070 super be better?
EVGA doesn't sell any AMD cards, ASRock doesn't sell any Nvidia-cards. Even if EVGA has a patent on those fins, wouldn't that allow ASRock to use it given that it doesn't compete with EVGA? I am curious about that. Also, should you be able to patent something as simple as fins for cooling memory? Maximizing surface area is not that complicated and there aren't many ways to do it. I don't have the answers, it would be interesting to look into it.
Personally i like the backside of the card, the front, not so much, but the price makes it a no-go for me.80$ above msrp is ridiculous.
480 USD...Is Asrock the new Asus or Razor?
“Mostest awesomest” at looking sooo good...inside a black box under my desk. For more money. Nope.
Looks good minus the middle fan
So put in Glas case!!! But just with RGB!!! Brings the most performance!
Kiki No thanks!!! I don’t want to!!! Bye bye!!!!!!!!
@@georgemorley1029 Dude i said R G B!!!!!!!!
which one is better this one or Gigabyte 5700xt OC?
Trying hard to hold out for 5800 XT
There is an article from wccftech of rtx 30 series on 7nm in half 2020 as well..sigh...
Mate it’s most likely not going to happen before Q3 of 2020. If you need a new GPU now, it’s probably not worth the wait
@@meteormedia7021 Well my RX480 is still rocking so I'm not really in need but I am interested in some of the features that come with new tech. Also, I want to get as many frames as possible on my 144Hz freesync panel.
They seem to be going odd numbers...probably 5900 is next, higher card
@@Tallnerdyguy Maybe. They may not even do a higher end card but I feel like they might be willing to take the leap since they went out on the limb of creating the Radeon VII.
