  • This AMD RX 5700 XT round-up looks at the best RX 5700 XT video cards out of those we've reviewed, evaluating performance, value, and if it's worth it to buy higher-end.
    Sponsor: Buy Thermaltake's C360 Kit on Amazon (geni.us/LWNv5AW)
    For those who've been trying to figure out the best RX 5700 XT, this benchmark recaps our reviews of several partner model options (and AMD's reference) to condense all the information into one spot.

    OK. THAT'S THE LAST ONE. We're taking a break from 5700 XTs for a little bit to get back on other stuff. Thanks for your patience. We haven't done a massive suite of partner models like this since probably the GTX 1080 Ti, and we needed a recap then too. This should help people who don't want to watch 10 other reviews.

      Gigabyte 5700 xt is priced the same as a used 1080 ti. Which one would you all go for as a temporary card until the high end GPU come out next year

    • @mattsmechanicalssi5833
      @mattsmechanicalssi5833 Před 4 lety +5

      @@iiiEazyiii TechPowerUp shows the 1080Ti being about 7% better in relative performance. And those numbers are based on reference model cards, so AIB partner cards may have varying degrees of performance differences. But it really depends what you want out of a video card. Both are very capable cards. From what I can see, the 5700XT's all seem to perform very close to each other (Except for thermals and noise), but I would trust Steve's recommendation for which one to get if you go that route. The Radeon cards do come with a warranty, so there's that to consider as well. But the 1080Ti has a lot of headroom for overclocking. I thought about going AMD myself. But I'm not one to adopt brand new technology right away. I like to wait and see what it is capable of (or isn't) as the node matures, before I buy it. I was contemplating buying an RTX card, but I decided to hold off on that too. So instead I bought a Titan Xp, and should have another in a week or two. But I'm an enthusiast, and I have 40 PCI-e lanes that need something to do!
      Here's a link to the TechPowerUp page with the 5700XT. Just scroll down till you see the "Relative Performance" chart. There you can scroll through and look at the average differences between most of the GPU's out there.

      @williamwilliams6677 Před 4 lety +10

      Yeah, the Red Dragon would have been nice to see. It's one of the only true 2 slot designs in this generation. It would be nice to see what you're giving up if you have a small case, or just a small budget. I think the Mech and the Challenger were also 2 slot, but it's hard to tell from most listings. I know he did the regular 5700, but I haven't seen much info on how the cooling scales. Fitment might be another aspect to add to reviews in the future.

    • @Ephem13
      @Ephem13 Před 4 lety +4

      @Hose2wAcKiEr Everything I have read to date shows it's peak sound is around 40-41 db, same as the Pulse. Temps are also comparable to the Pulse as all are within 5-6c of it. The difference in core and boost clock is 20mhz, not something you would ever be able to show real world performance with. They are within $5 USD of each other right now so that's unimportant, all you are really left with to split the two is availability and size. I know that the current AMD SFF case I am working on only fits up to a 2 slot card, anything larger simply starts choking out the GPU fans. Means the 2.5 slot size of the Pulse simply wouldn't work.
      TL;DR No one would be able to note any real world difference between these two cards, buy what is available. For SFF builds the Red Dragon will fit better.

    There is one thing that I did not miss.
    One company, when faced with a bad (but fair) review, went full agro publicly stating that GN is biased against them. I wont state the name, because they've been Thicc shamed enough.
    MSI, when faced with the same criticism, decided to fix what was broken. And when "made fun of" because of the name, took it in stride and also joked about it (with a reference, showing that they did saw the review).
    Shows the maturity of both companies.
    But I might be biased here. And I know that. I had a MSI 750ti that still works after at least 6 years of mostly 24\7 usage with little maintenance (mostly just clearing dust from fans). I bought two Optix AG32CQ (within 4 months of each other) because it was the best value for money with that specs. Had one of them DOA that was RMA'd and fixed within a month (travel time is a bitch, still think they should have just shipped another, but heh). Still plan to buy a 3rd one, eventually, when I can say I can afford it, for that 3 monitor display with almost no bezel. I say almost because, sadly, the image coverage isnt perfect.
    They won tons of brownie points for me when a gamer had a lost bullet fly into his home and lodge itself behind the monitor... and MSI connected with him, lowkey, sending him a replacement monitor for free. They didnt made a fuss about it. That got even more brownie points for me.
    The only reason I didnt made my new build MSI focused was that their product line for the 3rd generation ryzen wasnt the best value for money regarding performance. But I tried (and tried hard) to get their Alchemy 700X as a case (the curved case they showed at Computex 2019). Even thought I knew it would probably would be very bad with air flow for the components, I knew it would look nice with the monitor setup I have now. Had to "settle" for a Lian Li Air. As it was reviewed well by GN, and I do take their reviews as time well spent before buying anything. Still, if given the chance, and if the price was right, I'd totally would have got the MSI case.
    So yes, I understand my possible bias, but in the end I'm a consumer. I dont buy because of brand loyalty. I buy with value for money and my usage in mind. But I do know when to look at a company and recognize they have real humans behind them. That, in a way, can sway consumers to purchase their product, when everything else is equal.
    Regardless, thank you GN (and buildzoid) for all your hard work. Not only on the GPU side of things, but on the CPU's and Mobos. Watching your videos (and that I did religiously) made my new build decisions much easier. Spent around 2k euros on the new rig, that I do not cry about one bit. It was a well overdue upgrade, and without your feedback, I'm sure I wouldnt have been as informed as I am on each and every component that I got.

    Loved these reviews, really fun to watch and helpful in deciding upon which card to get... Firstly, I didn't know anything about the ASUS Strix, and how it has a great PCB, but GN haven't reviewed it. I'm almost totally going to just buy that one, so it never dies, and lasts forever, just like my current reference R9 290X!

      They have more 'neutral' reviews.
      Short version:
      The card actually is great for what it is. If you want a 5700XT and really can spend the money, go ASUS.
      I was planning on the RTX 2080. But after I saw the 5700XT, my view changed.
      See, 10 FPS for such a huge price increase?
      And you can OC the card a bit manually and get closer to that.
      This is coming from someone who has really researched this and asked people who own that card.
      Don't let haters tell you otherwise. If you can afford them, ASUS provides what you pay for.

      @@keithberwanger6595 Power to your choice, but AMD is a lot more open than they used to be, and comparing your R9 experience to the 5700 series experience is apples to oranges. Navi is an order of magnitude ahead of Polaris in both power, and capabilities. And if you arent building just for gaming, why would you pinhole yourself by not diving deep into the pros and cons of each architecture. AMD is productivity king right now with the strides they've taken in just the last two years, both in graphics and general purpose processing. Mindshare is almost the only thing that Intel and Nvidia have left to keep making money.
      Last thing, its important to keep in mind that the RTX products have much more maturity in their driver development at present than Navi; they need time to add in all the QoL features that you are probably accustomed to having in Nvidia's ecosystem, especially on this new GPU architecture.
      AMD almost could/should have gone the way of Cyrix decades ago. They're still here for a reason.

      If you really need it just for image processing, vega 64 crushes Navi for compute.
