RMA SWAP: 5700 XT to GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

metachi · 4 Sep 2020 at 11:02

My founder edition 5700 xt have died, so I've RMA the card and they couldn't fix it. They says will give me this card instead “GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X TRIO” is this a good idea?

The 2070 Super is generally slightly faster than the 5700 XT, plus it has more features such as ray tracing and DLSS support. Very good deal IMO. The Trio is also MSI's top of the line model.

If you have no issues with it fitting into your case then go for it! (it's a large card)

Overall the 2070 Super is a faster card, there are some titles where the 5700XT is a bit faster but if you average everything, the 2070 Super is faster. It also costs more. So overall, very good deal for you.

thanks, guys, I'll take their offer.
i have an NZXT H510 Elite case, should fit no problem i think.

Nice one.

opethdisciple · 4 Sep 2020 at 12:06

Yes. I'd take that as an RMA.

yea that deal is a no brainer.

Martini1991 · 4 Sep 2020 at 12:33

Better card and more features, yes.

LoadsaMoney · 4 Sep 2020 at 12:36

As above, its a cracking card the Gaming X Trio.

I'd be tempted to ask if I could pay the difference and upgrade to a 3070.

Assuming you're not desperate for a card and can wait for awhile.

It's a good deal regardless.

Yeah go for it!! It's a really good deal. Better card, more features, more future proof.

Hell yes! Great swap! That's a better chip & the cooler is insane.

aoaaron · 4 Sep 2020 at 13:25

Awesome deal wow.

+1, that's really the optimal result although I guess they'd prefer to get rid of the 2070S stock.

yep, MSI directly. i bought the card from the rainforest place last year. i had to pay £16 to send the card to MSI Poland.

damn. i didn't think about this, i thought it might be too cheeky and no the card isn't urgent.

Solid card and you could probably put 1k on the memory straight out the box.

The worst they can say is no.

A 2070S from a 5700XT is a solid RMA result either way.
