Haha, that was my first thought when i saw it. It looks ridiculous.
It seems to run hot, so maybe they are pre-empting the melting

Navi disappoints on many fronts performance wise, its a mid range card at best. price point is ok but it gets beaten by the 2070s in most but a few games. the VII remains AMD's top card to date. this can be seen as a vega 56 vega 64 replacement with quite a small considering 2 years later performance hike.
over all its no NV killer.

One thing is for certain, there are a LOT better Navi cards to come. It'll be much better later, just like Vega.
i dont know what they are trying pull with the prices.
This should be a £300 card at this stage.

Guru's review also has it throttling.
Ouch.
5700XT is about what I expected.
Thermal/Acoustic side a bit poor though.
The 1080Ti is two years, and 4 months old!

5700 XT seems good so far over VEGA 64 tbh. It wins and looses some against the Super 2070 and even at times comes close to the 2080 and beating Vega 7.

Techpowerup always seem to show AMD cards in the worst light. The Guru3d review probably has the 5700xt on par looking at just the dx12 games at 1440p. DX11 especially on some of the older titles swings it back to the 2070 super. What people need to realise though is the actual competing card is the 2060 super which gets thrashed. 5700xt is $400 and the 2060 super is $399. Any how with a blower cooler this is as bad as it gets for the 5700 series and it will put up a better showing with a decent cooler and better drivers. As usual launch drivers appear to be unfinished.

It's certainly better than a Vega 64.
But it has caveats as well.
Still leaning towards a 2070 Super for just overall better everything lol.

Can really see just how much Nvidia have been `f You` to the consumer with the entire RTX range originally launching at £460 for RTX 2070, a card which this £300 gpu beats in a number of tests! Hot and loud is how i would call the Nvidia RTX FE range, just as this is.

That's very true.
Vega is a lot better with a simple under volt, hopefully the same will apply. If not, then, custom cards will be the only option unless you are water cooling. Also, there doesn't seem to be much overclocking headroom.
The 2070 Super is definitely the way to go.

Ay? You not read it correctly?
The XT is reporting its correct clocks.
The XT version is 1850x~1900 Mhz and also actively throttling based on limiters."

Can't see why AIB's will go crazy with the 5700XT, given it's a mid range GPU.
Caporegime
So you'll have to make the card even louder to keep its clocks stable. That's not really great lol.
If it was a 175W part my opinion would be different.
Soldato
Techpowerup is an Intel/Nvidia shill.
Soldato
Based on their review the XT is actually boosting over the spec sheet. Guru get the XT boosting over 1800

100% shocking tbh it just makes them look stupid when all other sites are reporting very different results.
They don't have to go crazy, all they have to do it put a better cooler on the cards. That will improve both cards and shouldn't make much difference to the price.
