Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 5700 Xt 8GB GDDR6 HDMI/ TRIPLE DP OC w/ Backplate (UEFI) PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card

This card is awesome. Have some issues overclocking the memory but I probably just didnt get lucky with my particular card. Handles 1440p like a champ. Games like Doom 2016 gets me a solid 200 fps at Ultra settings in the Vulcan API. (At 1440p). Considering my monitor is 144hz it's more than enough. Get a free sync panel and enjoy the performance. I play everything at the highest setting because I can but this look just as good at high settings and ot performs even better on other games. Borderlands 3 benchmark at Ultra Settings gets over 65ish fps with my card undervolted. Obviously high settings is reasonably comparable and looks just as good at 1440p but it's just for benchmarking to give an idea of what the thing is capable of. I'm running a r5 1600 AF for my cpu so obviously an upgrade to a r5 3600 would net me some gains in fps but it handles very well with that cpu. I'd reccomend this card to anyone not looking to spend 500+ on a RTX 2700 super. Obviously if you need Nvidias encoder for video than that's a different story. But at right around 400 this card is definitely a better option if all you do is game and are on a budget but still want 1440p performance. The new drivers as of last month solved alot of the issues people were having (I wasnt having any). Check out gamers nexus 5700xt rundown on the different models if you are thinking of a different model. They are not all created equally. Overall very happy with this card. Would definitely reccomend.

Performs great thermally. Lots of power for the price. AMD software is nice. Weight is surprisingly light. Very well balanced.I know there is quite the crowd that has had issues with Navi. The truth is most of these are newer pc builders and got into the hobby when AMD made it affordable. It seems Navi was the first upgrade for a lot of these people.Personally I have no issues with this card, its fantastic. I picked up a new boot drive, plugged it in, plugged this in, installed windows clean, installed drivers, and everything is right as rain.Not that I should have been forced to go through all that just to ensure a smooth experience. I shouldn't have. Just been doing my whole life out of practice but now that I think on it AMD really could improve the upgrading process. Too many had issues.At any rate, I can't find any problems at this date. It does everything I ask of it and never complains, runs cool compared to my past AMD cards. And quite too. For me this card is perfect, will power my 144Hz 1080p monitor for years to come for a price that is fair.

Upgraded from a 1060 6gb Superclocked. At stock settings it runs quiet and cool. Looking at Globalwattman does have me concerned about the junction temp , which NVIDIA never shows on their monitoring software. I figured all of the youtubers say its fine so it is. AMD is not famous for its drivers though and it shows. The drivers , even the latest driver as of today 19.2.3, is buggy. At least over time there will be performance gains, unlike NVIDIA where they seemingly gimp their older hardware.This card easily beats a 1080. Matches a 2070 /super in some titles. Im still messing around with clocking and undervolting it so it runs cooler but again the drivers are wonky and the thing wont boost to the clocks I set it to boost to. Its easier to just leave that on auto and ramp up some fan curve for better cooling. I do recommend maxing out the memory clock If you can. It makes all the difference. Also don't operate in hot rooms. Seems like there is an exponential increase in temps if your room isn't in standard room temperature , 69f-77f.Update! In order for this GPU to work properly you will have to have it operate at 1440p or higher resolutions. The card simply wont boost at 1080p. Also sometimes the card will drop boost even at stock settings , which is when you go into your Wattman and change your clocks to your stable undervolt settings or back up to stock. It seems as when you run into a frame drop that stays low you need to go in Wattman and change the profile to another setting for it to fix the boost malfunction. Always run the latest driver. Always use Enhanced Sync and do not use freesync. Freesync causes latency and you don't want that in competitive games.When you buy AMD it is because you know what you are doing and know how to tinker with hardware. If you buy Nvidia you pretty much just stick it into your motherboard and play.I like this GPU. It runs quiet. It runs fairly cool at a standard ambient temp room. It undervolts easily(anyone can do it without worrying about messing something up) for further cooling. Tons of guides online to help you out with any problems.Buying this GPU right now is a good choice compared to other competitors around this price point. No raytracing? that's ok. There is no game out there today or in the near future that is going to require it. Nvidia and AMD are nowhere near capable of actually being able to harness full Ray tracing in their cards. Simply, there is no game out there that has the whole game ray traced. Maybe water reflection or certain shadows for a tree may be ray traced but nothing else in the game is for example.

I've owned this thing for over a month now, and I must say: flawless performance @1440p 60 Hz on everything I currently own. I give this 4 stars however due to the apparent and frequent issues I have bumped into with stuttering, freezing and sometimes display going black with no warning, error message or anything of the sort.I blame driver instability, as I have overclocked it to a safe and recommended level of performance, and yet it always gets temperamental with me in a game, and usually will just crash. In comparison, I owned a Vega 56 prior to this from Sapphire Pulse and I was able to overclock that card with complete ease (and no crashing). This doesn't have the same methods of overclocking in the drivers' current state for this card.But out of the box, on default settings, the card truly gets a run for its money, and then some.Without any major tweaks, your games will run crash-free, quiet, and top notch at Max-Very High settings at 1080-1440p, 60+FPS.I couldn't recommend it more at this current price performance. Keep in mind, you may win or lose the silicon lottery too, on top of unstable drivers.
