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.
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.
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.
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.
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be having the same problems, and blaming AMD for it (like i initially did :D), but in fact it's an issue related to outdated PCI-E risers.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 :/
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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/ioJHGyivLpQ/видео.html
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)
J.A PCMR I am actually planning to monitor surveillance cams. I can view 24 way 1080p feed at once. Setting up eyefinity should be much cheaper than Quadro sync.
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?
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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 🤣
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 😂
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
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 from www.asha.org/public/hearing/Loud-Noise-Dangers/
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
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)
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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
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.
@@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.

Would be nice to have a comparative video for all the 5700XT's after all of those get released.
Nearly $500 is just kind of nuts. Looks good, though...
the target audience is people who plan to drive 6X 4K displays.
Allan Sh but then you should get a better graphics card then this, I mean you should have the money
@@allansh828 It barely could handle 1 in gaming atleast. Not even enough VRAM for animation
J.A PCMR
I am actually planning to monitor surveillance cams. I can view 24 way 1080p feed at once.
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.
@@Amaboutowin 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.
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
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...
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.
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 🤣
Rocking it as always!
I got one for $430 including next day shipping and I love it
With a bit tweaking with the fan curve it's actually a good option.
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
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 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.
8:58 What if you had a "noise vs temperature" XY graph, one axis beeing noise level in dB and the other beeing temperature?
"plastic battlements" :D
Removing the sticker on the back, than the Backplate looks damn sexy :S
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.
Glad I bought the pulse
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.
In my country, it is the cheapest model right after the base model with blower cooler. 400€, other brands range from 420€ to 500€.
Would love to see a review of the 5700XT Strix when you have a chance
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
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...
I am waiting for your Asus TUF & ROG RX 5700 XT reviews/tear down.
as of today I'm only interested in graphics cards shaped like non-existing animals
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 😂
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 :(
Looking at it a phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
I want to buy this card simply to fit the scheme of my build.
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

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.
Impressive to see it push over 2000mhz constantly.
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.
Love how in some charts the only card beating the Nitro+ is the Nitro+ itself
when you doing the red devil and msi gaming X?
I would love to sit down and just chat with Steve about computer hardware.
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.
I hate the front plate..... absolutely LOVE the backplate
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
looks perfect for my hex 4K TV wall
Sapphire should consider making motherboards too... or at least design them. (Sapphire Nitro+ X670 sounds cool :D )
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.
"Look at it" in Gordon Ramsay's voice...
Mike Gleason jr Couturier It’s Raaaaaw!!!
probably should have mentioned that it is one of the only cards with 6 video outputs in existence.
are you guys planing to review the asus strix 5700 XT at some point?
Bought one today 199$ putting it in a budget build for looks
Weird question: Why are your graphs and numbers a bit smudgy looking? Almost painterly. Always wondered that.
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)
Can't wait for all the 2070 super cards to be benchmarked 😉
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)
I wonder if XFX took your advice to heart for the Thicc III ultra
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.
Gotta review em all! Gamer's Nexus (Pokemon style)
Next video:
Which graphics card it is? Pokemon
The XFX Thicc III, he's out to get them after all.
newegg now offers this at 400 dollars. worth it now? love ur vids steve
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.
Is there going to be a review for the Strix 5700 XT?
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.
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? 🤓
that is an epic GPU... I still want an arctic full white mother board. x570 motherboard.
Still waiting for the MSI 5700 XT gaming x review.
undervolting makes this card the most efficient at no cost !!! pls review with undervolting
Most efficient at what? Being too expensive?
You literally don't state what "more efficient" even means. More efficient at what? It still does not justify the 480 USD price tag for the card.
You still have to pay the more money to try a modification on it. Also, you can undervolt the competing cards.
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.
Waiting for XFX RX 5700XT THICC III
Thicc ultra 3
hi thx review, in malaysia this cost 525USD!! (MYR 2200)
Considering that it's too big for the average case I don't understand what they were trying to achieve here
I don't have much interest in the card but those gears do look pretty damn sweet
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.
Can you review the MSI gaming x 5700 xt? I want to know if thermalpadgate is over.
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?
BUT I ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY AFTER MY WIFE SAW THE RX 580 CUTE PET!
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
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.
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.
@@budgetbajur I left it on stock for now, under full load never goes over 65 C and its dead silent. Card is thicc tho, unlike xfx :D
@@SourNote93 yeah that cooler is a chonky one
