Waiting for 5700XT Sapphire Aftermarket

[caliberlife]

Hello guys.

Current specs

4670k @4GHz
Z97 Sabertooth TUF Mark II
8gb ram (can upgrade)
GTX 970 galax infnini (will sell it in UK as I live in UK)
1080p (usually play on one screen but I do have 3 of these and a 4K TV)

Looking to upgrade to an aftermarket 5700xt
I’m willing to spoon out £420 max.

Anyone got any advice, opinion or support on my decision. Thanks guys

Also I’m looking fo future proof for another 4 years even if it’s just at 1080p

Well taking that there aren't any yet, and we don't know what models they'll be, and that they're probably about a month away there's not much advise people can give.

 

[caliberlife]

Yeah that’s very true.

I hope the £420 mark will be enough to get a decent 5700xt aftermarket model

Hmm wonder who is generally better XFX or Sappire

 

[HeX]

For AMD cards generally Sapphire have the best models. Though Powercolor have had some solid models lately too.

Sapphire & Powercolor. XFX usually is standard, and Asrock is new to the market, barely started selling in Europe. (I do not know anyone got one).
The big 3 (MSI, Gigabyte, Asus) were up to now hit and miss with AMD cards. Some even had design flaws for 2 years (Asus V64 Strix).
Saying that, MSI has announced 7 5700/XT models already, so it might spice up a bit the market.

Okay so will keep an eye out next month at

Sapphire
Powercolour
MSI

I will post the card I get and post images and overclocks but might need some of your help for that. I hope to get 2070super-2080 performance that would be really nice.

I'm waiting for one too, 3 fan powercolour hopefully, though sapphire is ok

I’ve looked at Sapphire Nirto+ on their site... this cooling model any good and if so I hope it will be for 5700XT?

More likely as is the top of the coolers that one. Out of the box over 10% faster than the reference model!!! with tweaking unbeatable.

Hopefully they launch that, I’ll just go for the best I can. I hope £420 will be enough
