XFX RX 5700 XT Triple Dissipation 8GB GDDR6 3xDP HDMI Graphics Card

This review is for the XFX RX 5700 XT Triple Dissipation. I debated for months on upgrading to an RX 5700 XT from my RX 590, or just waiting for Big Navi, but then I came across this card, and couldn't resist pulling the trigger for the price. It performed superbly out of the box. At 100% GPU load, I've seen temps top out at 85C/95C junction and that's just with the stock fan curve being at 35% max fan speed. These are perfectly acceptable temps, but I wanted it to run cooler so I set a more aggressive fan curve through Adrenalin. This card performs absolutely INSANE for the price. I get 100+ FPS on Fortnite @ 1440p Epic settings, 80+ FPS on RDR2 @ 1440p High settings with HDR enabled, 80-90+ FPS on GTA V @ 1440p Ultra settings, and 80-90 FPS on Witcher 3 @ 1440p Ultra settings (hairworks *off*). One feature I was very impressed with was Radeon Image Sharpening. I found that Fallout 4 is apparently poorly optimized to run at 1440p. I ran it on Ultra and only managed around 45 FPS average, and FPS did not go up any when I dialed graphics down. But, when I turned resolution down to 1080p and turned on Radeon Image Sharpening and then maxed out the graphics, I started getting over 100 FPS and the image sharpening made 1080p look just as good as 1440p. Radeon Image Sharpening will definitely give this card great longevity as when more demanding games come out years from now, one can simply turn down the resolution, then use Radeon Image Sharpening to make it look crisp. I've been reading for the past year or so about driver issues for the first several months of this card's release, but I have had zero issues whatsoever so far and I've been putting it through its paces. The fact this card is one sexy looking blacked-out card is just icing on the cake. Cannot recommend this card enough.

I bought this before the pandemic, so it was a great price. The shroud for this card is decent after a while the largest fan in the middle would fall off sometimes and it was kind of hard to notice if you didn’t see the fan fall off.

So since all of these reviews are for the double dissipation, I'll be the first to write one for the triple.Pros:-Runs quiet-Temps are a bit hot out of the box, but easily fixable by tweaking fan curve (mine doesn't hit above 70c under load) By default max fan speed is 34%, I bumped up the curve to hit arounf 50-55% under load and it's still quiet.-Radeon's 2020 software is nice (much better than the one I used to use a couple years back)-Great fps for most titles (125+ for older titles, around 100 for COD: MW at 1440p on ultra) If you're on 1080p still, it will probably be overkill for most games.Cons:My only con is that the card is freakishly long. About 1.5 inches longer than most GPUs with 2 fans. I had to get rid of my front radiator from my AIO cpu cooler on a standard mid tower case. Full tower cases and slightly larger mid tower cases like the Lian Li should be fine. (I have fractal design meshify c for my case).Upgraded from a EVGA GTX 980 which kept giving me black screens when running DX11 software. I tested the 5700XT and no issues whatsoever. So far no driver issues and heat issues, I'm glad I took the chance with AMD regardless of what some other users may have experienced. Definitely was worth the upgrade coming from a 980. But like with any GPU or PC part, ymmv.Side note: I'm still trying to work with Amazon to see if they will honor the AMD "Raise the Game" promotion for this card.

This is my first build and I choose this GPU since it was in a good budget price for me. After using for a month, I only had two black screen crashes and some software problems. Now We know sometimes AMD has always have problems with their Software and Drivers, but Hopefully that they can fix it as their newer gpu is coming out soon. Now With comes to Temps, My highest temps was around 71C to 76C for GPU and My Highest Junction Temp was least above 90C. but of course I had to make sure I had good fans with good airflow (I used noctua fans to get the cooling job done.) Now sometimes the gpu can get little noisy sometimes, but overall, the fans runs quietly when I am playing games like Ark, Call of Duty MW. Overall, I can't much bad about this card, but I still say it is still a powerfull card to play games on with High settings.
