MSI Gaming Radeon Rx 5700 Xt 256-bit 8GB GDDR6 HDMI/DP Dual Fans Crossfire Freesync Navi Architecture Graphics Card

I have had this GPU for 3 weeks now and wanted to write a fair review. I have to say I am super please with my purchase. Great card running titles in either 1440p ultra detail or 2160p med or high detail, and getting stable high framerates. I did have GPU crashing issues the first few days. I ran AMD's clean uninstall tool, it clears out all remnants of previous drivers. Installed clean drivers and uninstalled MSI afterburner. I have thrown every game title I have at this thing and if has been rock steady, no crashes for more than 2 weeks. Hefty, good looking card, I hit MSI for not providing a GPU support bracket. I bought one a week later, as insurance because this card is big and heavy. It oozes quality! To me I saved a nice chunk of dough over the 2070 super. Which are fantastic GPUs. I just did not want to give Nvidia what they want for one. Glad to see some competition from AMD, better for all us gamers!

The card doesn't run very hot at all really. Ive had no issues with it at all. Drivers installed perfectly, Radeon adrenaline software works great, and I can run most games on high quality with 60 GPS. I average 40-60 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 with Ultra (paired with a Ryzen 5 2600 and 32 gb of G.Skill Aegis RAM). This is an amazing upgrade from an RX 580. Love the card!

I'm using 20.4.2 drivers as they are the most stable ones (at least for me.)I'm still getting some crashes on specific games like CSGO, Jedi Fallen Order. Other than that, the GPU works like a charm. Can easily push higher frames on 1440p or 1080p 144hz.If you don't mind having to tweak it a bit, as the stock settings are trash, you are good to go. On 20.4.2 I'm missing my saved profile every now and then, that is the only issue that drives me crazy.It is reported to have issues depending on the system you are building, every case is different. Some do not have any issues with it, others like me, have. Keep that in mind as it is a risky buy if you want to leave everything at stock settings. 20.7.2 brokes freesync for me, there is no point for me going to those drivers.

Couldn't be happier, the most taxing games I've got is Metro Exodus, COD Warzone, and Beam NG, all on ultra settings I can hold a solid 100fps on a 1080p@65HZ monitor with V sync off. Turning it on gives a great game play and yes with some work you can in fact Ray Trace within the software but it takes a lot of FPS to achieve it. I wanted a 1440P@120hz card for the future and testing that on my tv with high graphic settings will hold about 85-100 in most areas of the games. Depending on what settings are on you can get it higher but this meets my goals personally as ill be stuck with 1080 for at least the next year. Either way very happy, this 5700XT equates my buddy's 1080TI in the games we play together. I haven't tried overclocking above MSI's settings yet but I'm sure it can be improved even more. This card will get warm, I suggestion changing the fan control settings to keep the fans on and moving air constantly so you don't get a stagnant air pocket around the card or worse...heat-soak. If its hot and you get a sudden demand you can thermal throttle quickly but also shorten the component life. Eventually I may water cool it but top temps I've seen with a custom fan control us like 68*C under load and 34*C at idle, where stock I noticed 80* and idle would hang around 60*. Take some time to adjust and performance will be better. I couldn't imagine the AMD stock blower cooler on this... the dual fan and shroud MSI built is a great design overall, very impressed but make sure you measure your case!!! This is a big boy card!!! Your not gonna fit this in your MATX HP pavilion without hacking the case.
