AMD might have finally got their mojo back with the RX 6000 series, but that doesn't mean the 5000 series had nothing to offer. Now that used examples of the RX 5700 XT are hitting the market in large quantities post-Ethereum merge, this sub-£200 graphics card offers some of the best price to performance in 2023.

Note to new 5700XT owners: if you find you're getting barely perceptible micro-stutter, go into the
Radeon Adrenalin suite > Settings (gear wheel top right) > Display
and enable GPU Scaling.
Sincerely,
A long-time 5700XT owner
Personally the Radeon software has given me nonstop problems and crashes. Going driver only and just using MSI Afterburner to adjust the 5700 XT performance settings has been flawless so far. Setting the fan curve for silence/not in use at lower temps is also finicky on Radeon software.
Instant replay can have similar issues :)
Thanks! I just picked one up last week for a good deal!
@@jtbryan64 Yeah, they're going for real cheap on the used market rn. Insane amount of performance for the price.
Another note: something else that can help is (in Adrenalin) going to Gaming > Graphics > (scroll down) Advanced, click Tessellation settings, choose "Override application settings", and choose 16x.
In some games that use Nvidia tech the tessellation is super cranked up, tanking performance on Radeon. Personally I can't tell the difference between 16x and 64x, and going with 16x can help smooth out the frame-times.
@@abesmissioncontrol2013picked one up locally for $100. That's a lot of gpu for that price. It's on its way to a friend who is running an rx 580.
Recently upgraded to RX 6600 from my good old GTX 980Ti witch I had since 2015. And not looking back, it is sooo much more power efficient and has good performance!
How bigs the difference at 1080P tho? As Far as i know the 980TI was very close at 1080P but 1440P is where the RX6600 will take the lead.
Using a Sapphire Pulse RX6600 and it's a budget beast. Best 1080p AAA card, 1440p for 2019 AAA games and under.
Bro you are comparing a 2021 card with a 2014 one. U good????
@I Danwich My 4090 is miles better than my old 3dfx Voodoo 3. Not going back.
@I Danwich My dude, my 40000000090 GTRGTRFHXXX is st leat twice as fast as my Turing Machine
The 5700 XT really is a great card and if you bought one back in the day you've certainly got your moneys worth and probably will for a few years yet if you're not fussed about ray tracing.
nobody is focused on ray tracing @ that price point. I have a 3060 TI and ray tracing is out of the question.
@@brokencage9723 i have a 2070 and play with Raytracing sometimes. It's not worth the performance tho
I have a 3080 and the only time i use rtx is with the (stupid) windows store Minecraft
Honestly, my last nvidia card as a 780TI, after i've got a RX 580 and the 5700 XT.
Now i'm back to nvidia with a 3060ti (yet i still own the 5700 XT).
It still is kind of fuzzy with drivers for some DX11 games, plus the card runs way too loud as it junction temp gets too hot and the fan curve uses the junction as the temp base.
i got my 5700xt ultra thic III for $400 2 years ago
I had the Asrock challenger RX5700 that you could bios flash to a 5700XT. I passed it down to my step-son when I upgraded to my 6900XT and he is still using it for 1080, high refresh rate gaming. It really is a bang up card. It out performs my wife's 3060 10GB in a lot of games.
I have this GPU, I got mine for $140. It's a really good GPU that you can easily find for around $150 and has the same performance as a RTX 3060, which costs nearly double the price.
mines? Bro what...
Performance is above 3060
@@zarrar26 no, rtx 3060 is slightly faster.
@@glassofwater7281 its within the 2 percentile across most titles
@Glass of Water Not enough to justify the doubled price. The only reasons you'd avoid it are the fact that it was a mining favorite or you actually do work with your GPU, since ROCm and AMD's encoder suck compared to Nvidia. If I wasn't already set on another card, I'd probably consider it.
Finally! Another video about my GPU, I was thinking that everyone has forgotten about this GPU because most graphs nowadays exclude it.
Great video! It’s impressive how you have your videos match what the majority of gamers/ tech enthusiasts like or want to know. Keep up the great work!
Thanks mate 😀
Been watching your video's lately and they are amazing ! lately upgraded from GTX 970 to RX 5600 XT and it's wow !
Why are you putting spaces before exclamation marks?
@@bofasofa9399 It's what they do in france.
I went from GTX 980 to RX 5600 XT and it's also a big difference. Mine was unstable due to the second/overclock BIOS amd made for it at 1750mhz vram so I had to flash the original 1500mhz vram bios and works as new now. And cooler.
@cosminmilitaru9920 how do you do that? I recently built a pc with a used 5700xt and am wondering if I need to do the same as you.
@@Dapplicationthose french guys it's like they have a whole another language
When the gpu prices went down again after the etheruim merge i bought a rx 5700 xt and have been very happy with it at 1440p, I mostly play older games but it's a huge upgrade from my r9 390
Just upgraded my 5700xt to a 4070ti. I can't say the experience was always smooth, but the card was a beast over the past 3 years. It enabled me to play so many games over the pandemic time, mostly at high 1080p. Anyone looking for a decent budget card doesn't have to look far here.
ik your comment is 9 months ago but the 4070 ti is terrible card for price i would have gotten the 7800xtx its cheapers is around the same performance
@@Myguy-ky8yg What is a 7800xtx? Do you mean a 7900xtx, which is not in any way the same price or performance level as the 4070ti, or the 7800xt? Assuming you mean the 7800xt, then yes, today if I were to buy a new GPU, I'd probably buy the 7800xt. 9 months ago, however, the 7800xt in my country was the same price as a 4070ti due to the fact they need to be imported and the demand for AMD here is lower. It was a no brainer going for the faster Nvidia card due to the pricing.
As I had said, I've been using AMD cards since the Radeon 9800XT in 2003 replaced my Voodoo 3, but at the given price point a year ago, the 4070ti was a great purchase. DLSS3 has been incredible at letting me play cyberpunk at 1440p with everything at max, and Nvidia Broadcast I've found invaluable in my professional life.
I picked up a 5700 XT back about 6 months ago from CEX for £220. Been a decent card. Definitely worth the money.
same. very good price for performance, especially with 2yr warranty from cex.
What version did you get? The reference card or smth else?
@@razvanalecu1851 I got the reference model. no visible damage or scratch and still performs great after a few weeks
@@razvanalecu1851 Asus ROG Strix
same and I got the Red devil one. 215usd
I've had this card since 2019. Been using it almost exclusively for 1440p 60. Still going strong and FSR has helped significantly.
Plus fsr 3 will Come this card will bé crazy
I just honestly couldn't imagine being happy with 60fps in 2023... maybe 2015?
@@bofasofa9399 Never had a faster monitor. Does everything as I'd expect. Got no complaints at 60fps.
U think u could use it on 4k fsr performance? Or 50% render resolution
@@rileyxbell I don't think it has ever been a 4K card. One reason I never got a 4K monitor. That and the fact that the 1440p one I chose is very colour accurate and easy to calibrate.
Those aliexpress ones are the same price as a 1650 in Brazil, making it one of the best deals for gamers on a limited budget. Completly different tier of performance for the same price
That's quite a great deal considering everything's so expensive in Brazil.
The RX 5700xt really did me well. I managed to snag one for like $400 during the times they were going for $1,200. I recently upgraded to an RX 6950xt and said goodbye to my 5700xt and sold it to a friend, legendary card for me.
Still run my Red Devil since 2019, such a good card still, no bugs, runs cool, Powercolor did a great job with the cooler on it.
Got the same one!
Got that card aswell it’s amazing I got the 6800xt version too it just stays quiet never had driver problems with them cards
I love Red Devil cards. Got a 580 before 2020 and just got a 6700xt.
Powercolor is one of the better (imo one of the best) manufacturer for AMD gpus
Mine can run 110°c when on assetto
I would like to suggest 2 simple things for Msi afterburner . I think that if you keep Gpu % numbers under Cpu % numbers it will is a lot easier for the viewer to spot the figure that he wants (same goes with Celsius numbers).Also keep the UI of afterburner at lets say 1080p size when you change the resolution. When benchmarking at 4k the UI is tiny and hard to 'read'. You can change it from Riva Tuners menu. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work.
You should do a video on the card right above it on the hardware survey, the 1080 Ti. I have one in my system and I’m amazed at how much potential this thing still has
I'd love to! I don't own one right now, but maybe soon?
It and the 5700xt have historically been really close in performance. I'd be curious to see how they compare these days!
@@jasonandrews7355 The 5700xt and 1080ti are less than half as powerful as the 4070ti
@@bofasofa9399 But the 4070ti is twice, thrice or even quadruple the price of those two cards depending on your region and where you get one.
@@bofasofa9399 rice is less than half the size of a nickel. Wait, what were we talking about?
I have one in my PC and it runs anything I want. No plans on switching it out anytime soon.
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 No it's not, nobody plays at max graphics with these cards. 8 GB is still reliable and isn't going anywhere soon.
Picked up an Asrock 5700xt for 99$ a few weeks ago and a new 5700x for 160$ to go with it. Amazing the value that can be had recently.
great video. I just picked up a used 5700 reference on ebay for $100 and flashed the bios to 5700xt. I then undervolted down to 1100mv and bumped fan up a little. it is running flawless. comparable to my son's more expensive 3060 we bought for him during the pandemic for $650
I had this card for a year in 2019. I hated how many driver issues it had in the start, but looking back on it, it was completely fine. I got my use out of it. Would recommend.
I had it from release and have no idea what you talk about. I updated my drivers regularly.
@jakejoyride Sometimes my screen would go black on displayport for no reason especially on higher resolutions. At the time, it soured how I thought about the card, so.
@@jakejoyride It was also a pile of shit for me when i had it, its a common issue, 5700xt is notorious for its awful drivers
@@finnsstuffs "Was". Its rock solid now and faster than the 2070 Super due to Smart Access Memory and other driver maturity.
@@forog1 I owned it between november and january 22-23, and my experiences with it have been only bad, lots of driver bugs the worst ones are in VR and the others are just nuisances, in VR it would have a constant flashing in my eyes when the game would lag, (this doesn’t happen with my new nvidia card) which was extremely painful and the other issue i encountered a lot was chrome crashing when playing back youtube videos, and there is a fix for it but it involves disabling hardware acceleration which sucks if you use chrome for tasks that require some hardware acceleration, which i do, a lot, and while yes the performance in games is amazing and the value is definitely there, it isn’t a great recommendation unless your an enthusiast who can look past it’s current flaws.
I got a 5700 for 150 and a friend got a 5700xt for 150 also, unbeatable price performance
Same here. Undervolting is critical tho.
And in my experience the card also comes with unbeatable bad drivers. Though yes, amazing price/perf
@@mastroitek That was mostly just an issue at launch. The only crashes I've ever had with my bios modded 5700 have been related to unstable overclocks, never the drivers.
@@Dango-God Fortunately I don't have crashes, just a bunch of annoying other problems that completely ruin the experience. I love the card but hate the overall experience.
I was actually thinking to sell it (goes for 200$+ where Ilive) and get a 750 for something more
Why? Radeon drivers are excellent. Radeon-profiler does a good job. Are you running some outdated is or something? (Linux user here)
I have this exact Pulse model and it's great 🙂. Got it about 3 years ago (new), before prices went crazy.
I got an RX 5700 and did the ever popular bios flash to get overclocking limits from the 5700 XT, and I think the only thing that would bring me to replace it would be VRAM capacity not keeping up on future games, since that's been a growing problem already for some games.
I just got a hell of a deal. Just picked up 3 rx5700xt for $280. The previous owner was honest and said they were for mining. So I reapplied the thermal paste and benchmarked everything to make sure they were good. All of them perform great!
Very good video...I have most of the same specs but 16 gigs ram but my card is the non XT but afterburner seems to overclock it nicely (so about 10% slower) but bought over 3.5 years ago for $300 it has been a great card and runs my games on Ultra or very high. Either card is still a great card to have and I have a large backlog of games so I'm good. I only upgrade when either the cpu or gpu is 2x in performance.
Another great video! Can’t believe this channel is not more popular, you put more work into these videos being entertaining than any other tech channel in my opinion.
i was still using mine until a few weeks ago! Picked it up on the first week of release for £370. It was running a 4k monitor on new games, but in low setting. I upgraded to the 16gb Intel Ark, which runs most stuff at very decent FPS in 4k.
I have an 5700 XT 16GB that came with the iMac I purchased back in 2020. To this day it blows my mind how capable the GPU is. It’s turned my iMac into a proper gaming PC through Bootcamp, and it will probably serve me as such for the next 2-3 years
Great video, I look up to you! I tested a Gigabyte triple fan model for a video and it blew my mind. Near RTX 2070/super performance for like 70% of the price back then. My rig had a Ryzen 5 2600x which bottlenecked the GPU, but it was still a beast even when the full potential of it wasn't unleashed. Will you start to review some budget offerings that are newer sometime in the future? I am in the process of testing an i3 10105f that I got for 70 euros. Will you review these kinds of cpus?
Why bother with that? Thats not an upgrade over 2600x, 12100f is better
@@NamTran-xc2ip Sorry for the late reply, I am not talking about personal builds. I am building PC's for customers and I do reviews of products on RUclips, I hope everything is clear now 😁
I did what i don't recommend anyone did, and bought a version without fans just a heatsink. It said it was a gigabyte version but there's no branding on the PCB, the bios was messed with so the aib code was messed with. I put the fans of a zotac 1060 amp! and it's working great. I still have no ideia what it is tho
I got a red devil 5700XT at launch and as a 1080p gamer it's still running strong and I have no complaints. I don't plan on upgrading for a few more years yet since it runs great at 1080p.
Hello Iceberg Tech, love your video! mayby You can help me, have the same card but can see some differences in voltage/frequency figures, would You mind just checking whether your Pulse has samsung or micron memory modules. Regards!
Any chance you would do a video on how to setup afterburner to get the same on screen metrics that you are running in this video?
I bought the 5700xt for £300 brand new back in 2020 after my rx 470 died, the card was amazing value after the driver issues were fixed, the performance of the card skyrocketed to the point where it was no longer competing with the 2060 but was slightly worse than a 2070 super. All of this for only £300. I upgraded my monitor to 1440p at the beginning of 2023, and the card was still fine. It wasn't perfect, but lowering some settings from ultra to high or medium, and it was easily getting 60fps and above or just enabling FSR was enough in a lot of modern games. I upgraded last month and gave the card to my younger brother. Had he not been using a 4gb gtx 960, I probably still would be using the 5700xt now since I had no reason to really upgrade.
Man, I don't know how you haven't got way more subs than you currently have. Really good content and production values, seems like you're on the up and up though! Keep doing what you do :-)
I have a Asus rog rx 5700xt. Got it at the end of 2019 on sale for 450$ when all gpu prices were pretty high. Absolutely love that card and I have not still considered changing it. I did some undervolting + overclocking and I am very happy with its performance
i am glad i found this channel , fantastic video.
Great video with a lot of great info! Thanks for sharing.
Good video. I have a Strix model of the 5700 XT and it seems to be holding up well enough for my needs (1080p60). I don't do a lot of big-budget AAA releases, but I binged Elden Ring last year for more hours than I'd like to admit, and the card did quite well with it on the highest settings.
I was strongly considering a 5700 XT for the PC I build my dad for christmas 2022. I ended up going for a new RX 6600 Pulse instead becauase it was on sale though.
I’ve been waiting for this video, nobody talks about this card it’s so underrated
I bought my MSI mech 5700XT in October 2019 second hand but sealed for $304. I still use it to this day and it still serves me well. I was too lazy to trade up during the crypto craze as I didn't have a backup GPU.
Yeah im well impressed with my 5700xt. It's hard to justify upgrading when the performance is often 60 fps even at 1440p for all my games
Been running a sapphire pulse 5700xt since 2019. Thinking of upgrading later this year for a 4k build. I'm thinking 6950xt or 7900xt.
Bought a this card at a bargain at 120 usd, knowing it can match rtx 3060. Honestly I felt like I stole something
Ive been using this card for about 2 years now and i came across one big issue, I keep getting these green screen crashes and i cant find any solucion. I tried the Overclocking methods and almost everything i could find, but it just keeps crashing my pc.
Still rocking my XFX Thicc II
Got a 5600xt during the GPU shortage for 160. Great GPU, quick suggestion when using it tho. Don't use the gaming profile in the adrenaline software, it is the only thing that causes crashes. Other than that no issues.
A lot of these cards come overvolted apparently so check into that if you get one. I was having problems with overheating, i thought it was fans or my case but turns out i bumped the voltage down a little bit and now i have cool temps and no impact on performance!
How is gpu game recording on this card? Is the quality decent or is it not worth it?
I bought a 5700XT in March 2020, just before the pandemic made graphics cards scarce and expensive. $300 for an open box card, still complete with warranty and the free games from AMD. Got the market timing on that purchase right! It's still serving me well now in 2023.
It’s so nice to see a small tech RUclipsr, but seeing one who’s British is even better than that. Love the channel, subbed.
Nice video. For people who are on a hard budget but want something modern, Ive been recommending that if you're going used, do the 5700xt, and if you're going new, do something in the 6600 series.
True. I'm also partial to AMD cards. Much better value. Got the 5700xt for my daughter last year and this year my son got the 6700 10gb. Both should be good for 1080p for quite a while.
@@QueertyUCR amd cards specialize in 1440p gaming so youre more than fine at 1080p
Thinking of building my very first PC and this card has stood out to me quite a bit.
Insane value card. Definitely should get more attention
Would love to see Counter Strike 2 results when it releases. Mine is achieving about 200ish fps with high settings in 1080p on the overpass limited test. The well implemented lighting and shaders in the source 2 engine maps feels like ray tracing, yet there is actually no real time ray tracing at all. If you need a cheap upgrade just to be able to run CS2, maybe a 5700XT can get you started.
bought mine new. PowerColor Red Devil. sitting in my semi truck right now (it's my entertainment center and mobile office). it's backed by a r5 3600 and plays everything I throw at it.
Fantastic card. I recently replaced my Sapphire Nitro + RX 5700 XT for RX 7900 XTX. Big upgrade as well.
I got an XFX 5700xt off ebay for $100, I spent $25 on new thermal pads and $8 on a fan because 1 was noisy, put it back together, temps were amazing and runs great in the kids PC. Runs every game she wants to play, mainly Fortnite, but it is really impressive.
Tempted to get one of these for my spare rig to upgrade the GTX 960 that is sorely holding my R5 2600 back lol
Well the R5 2600 will hold back the RX 5700XT...I had that CPU, upgraded to 5600x.
@@takehirolol5962 yeah maybe a bit but this rig is gonna be used as a Steam streaming machine and won't be going higher than 1080p 60fps
Do you have a video of the MPG pc build?
I have the exact same card from new in 2019. It’s on my spare PC and still runs great.
Anyway to disable raytracing in UE5? I just tried two new demos, Torque Drift 2 and Japanese Drift Master, both use UE5 and have horrible performance on my current PC with 570XT 4GB. I wanted to get a 5700xt as an upgrade to 8 GB, but not sure how it will handle the next wave of UE5 titles in the future. 5700xt is the only sub $200 card around, everything else is closer to $300. I only play at 1080p and I am happy with Medium-High, I don't need Ultra to enjoy a game.
Do you recommend pairing RX 5700xt with Ryzen 5 2600?
I want to know if this card is good for decent to high quality video editing and rendering projects from blender etc?
I have a 5700 xt right now and i love it. I got mine used for 169 dollars online and its works just fine for 1080p games. GTA V, Warzone 2.0 and everyone is on maxed out and you could upscale to 4k if you had a 4k monitor or TV.
I bought one of these when they came out for my partner's art computer, and it has been a pleasure to live with since day one.
I was tempted to sell it at the beginning of the scalppocalypse but I knew it might take years to get another card as good for the money, so I held on to it.
Paired with a ryzen 7 3700x it's got loads of performance and I don't want to upgrade for at least another year, that is unless something drastically more power efficient and sub £300 comes out
i have the anniversary edition of it. i have downclocked it to 1700mhz with an undervolt to 889mV and +50% powertarget. stays around 74C with very quiet fancurve. and consumption is around 120watts.
It had some teething issues on release, but they were quickly ironed out. I got one before the scalper/mining market blew the prices for them up, and it probably was one of my favorite GPUs of all time. It ran pretty hot, but it ran VR titles with high scaling like a champ
Maybe i should try an upgrade? I have the 5600xt, for 2 years now and I've been plagued with driver crashes since installed. Crashes are probably averaging to around 7-8 times a week.
Would this card be fine for 1440p with fsr?
I have the 5700 and OCd it on the 5700 XT Bios since. Still going strong!
I have a Gigabyte 5700 xt OC, and I love it! I’m getting great frame rates in all my games with either max or almost max settings. I’m switching to a 1440p monitor and I know it’ll handle it, but I also know I’ll eventually have to upgrade and lately I’ve been thinking 6800 xt but I’m not sure. Oh Iceberg, please give me your knowledge and reason!
What a video! Got a sapphire nitro for $175, I've always wanted one.
had it after launch, only problems for two years with bad interlacing and stutter.
You have a way to send old CPUs? I have a 2200g, though I imagine international shipping might be a pain
I appreciate the offer, but I've looked into it in the past and costs are just too high for it to be worthwhile. Thanks though!
I've just bought a 1440p monitor and you just convinced me to go team red. I currently have a gtx970 in my setup and I was planning to upgrade to a 2070 super, but the value of this card seems INSANE. Thank you.
Navi 1 has honestly aged very well. From my experience, for 1080 and 1440, a 5700 XT is great. Navi 2 is also wonderful if you can get a good price.
Been using the 5700xt since 2019 and its been freaking great very excited to see someone actually giving it its due
I got mine for 115 which was a HUGE steal and it was a great upgrade from a 1650 super
Still rocking my 5700XT. GPU's have been insanely priced since its release. Need more VRAM now, but otherwise it's been a great performer.
Been running mine since launch day, sadly it will be retired this year when the 7800XT comes out, it cant quite feed my full 165hz at 1080p in *SOME* games. But it does run everything maxed out 1080p at or slightly above 100 fps ie Destiny 2 at 100 locked, ff 14 at locked 120, eso at 144, ME remasters at locked 165 etc etc.
It should be noted this GPU is 5 to 10 percent faster than a PS5, it just lacks RT (which the ps5 just tacked onto RDNA Gen 1 anyways so no big loss)
I bought one when it launched, and the first 6 months were terrible because of the drivers, but after the drivers stabilized it's been a great card. I only just recently replaced it, and it moved on to my gaming PC by my TV where it's still doing its thing, and is still a pretty great card.
i am looking at some on used market they can be bought anywhere from 150-200€ which seem to be really god value i would have to spend almost double for new 6650xt or even regular 6600 is just bellow 300 brand new where i live
Guess I'm gonna eat breakfast with my coffee while I'm watching Iceberg Tech new video.
Good timing mate.
I was planning on going with a used 5700xt but I found a deal on a 1070 ti I couldn't turn down
Just got one aor £130 , nice little upgrade from the 1050ti I had previously
Bought mine over 2 years ago, when people were lining up every morning at MicroCenter to (hopefully) buy a graphics card. I used the crazy market to my advantage by selling off 3 of my old cards and the one in my rig on eBay and it paid for this card plus put a few extra dollars in my pocket. I am still using it to this day, and it runs all my games at 1440 with no issues. Will replace it with a RX 6900 XT when I find the right deal, but this card is worth it if you can find a good used one especially for gaming at 1080p.
I build myself last year a 5700XT LAN Party PC. Because my main PC is too big and heavy to carry around everywhere. And at a LAN Party you don't really need the most high end performance. Really happy with it.
Other components i use in there
My old Ryzen 5 3600
16 GB 3200 Mhz RAM
Asus Prime B450MK 2 (not a good MB, but it does the job)
Kolink Citadel RGB Mesh (Very happy with that case)
Upgraded from an RX 460 to a RX 5700 XT a couple of months ago. So glad i chose to wait for more than a year for something affordable. Man, prices were so crazy... I'm pretty sure this card will be fine for the foreseeable future.
What a leap! I myself went from an RX 460 4 GB to a friend’s secondhand GTX 1060 6 GB before giving that to a friend when building them a new system last year, to an R7 250 (merely for video output at that point, no way I was gaming on that lol). But then the same friend who gave me their 1060 got me an RX 6600 for my birthday.
But that RX 460 was the best card I ever bought, I wish I still had it for some of my older backup systems.
@@TH3C001 Yeah, that RX 460 was epic value. Don't remember exactly when I bought it, but I bought it new. It is still working perfectly and now sits in my backup system. I love it when good cards just refuse to die. I also considered getting an RX 6600, but the prices were pretty crazy when I was looking. I remembered getting the RX 460 for around €100, and the RX 6600 was around €500 when I looked... The RX 5700 XT that I ended up getting cost me less than half that. And yeah, It is a serious upgrade ^^. I do notice it on my electricity bill though...
I bought one of these on release, all was good till last summer, I was getting driver crashes, green lines across my screen, drivers randomly uninstalling, I blamed Windows 11 initally but got the same issues on 10 (did a full wipe & reinstall), the weirdest part? I put it in my cousins PC 2 months ago, hes had no issues, so im currently using his 1660 (temprorarily)
I've noticed that system ram instabilities can affect radeon cards more than nvidia cards. I had a 1070 ti that managed to handle my dirty ddr4 OC pretty well, but when I switched to a 6700xt I had to dial back some overly aggressive ram timings to stabilize the driver. I guess nvidia's driver is less sensitive to these issues. I now use 3 different tools to test memory (HCI, Testmem5, Karhu) and run them for 24 hours~ish or 10,000% each. Best of luck.
I absolutely loved my 5700XT, no driver issues either. The only reason I upgraded is I’m getting deeply into MSFS in VR which is VERY hungry!
I've been using the 5700XT since I bought it in 2019. It has been a solid card for me. It still runs everything at respectable levels, as shown in the video. It is beginning to show its age and I'm considering an upgrade this year.
Ive had the 5700xt since 2020. Great card for value especially in Europe. Dunno if in going to upgrade since there haven't been any games too demanding for me so far, and the gpu market still kinda sucks.
did you get the CEX idea from my comment the other day? probably not but just asking.
A happy coincidence, I'm afraid!
The best review ever about this card. Exactly what i think. I've got mine Asus Strix RX 5700 XT 3 years ago and damned....still rocks. It's a piece of perfection technology. I play all these games in almost full with no any issues. Smooth like silk 😎
I just upgraded from to an rx 6800 from a 2070 on my steam machine and if you havent tested a 2070 yet id be cool with letting you borrow the card to do a video on it if youd like
I bought the 5700xt a couple months after launch for its launch price and it has been great for me. Sapphire Nitro+. basically silent and does well in the games I play, which is mostly rocket league anyway and it does that absolutely fine at 4k 120hz (lg c1 77").
I do play cities skylines with tons of mods, so the 8gb is a bit small. 32 GB ram is also just enough to load cities. r5-3600 still going strong :)
Should i go for this one or the 6600? I have a 500w psu so i might have to undervolt it slightly, but afaik that doesnt hit performance too hard...a 6600 is about 30-40 usd more expensive on my used market
6600 xt is good for +40$, no xt is not worth this much overspending imo. Also mine 5700xt is consuming 145 w after UV, more than 6600xt,but not by much
My heart is slightly bleeding because i had a driver related hdmi problem preventing me to use it for VR any longer. I now switched to a 3070 but could tell you that this is otherwise a dream of a performer, i had on my rog, 10160 Timespyscore, matched the 2080 and at times outperformed the 3060 slightly.
When's my boy gonna hit the Radeon VII sleeper.
Love that thing. May not be super powerful but I have to ever worry about texture resolutions in my game
