AORUS RX 5700XT - review and unboxing

[orbitalwalsh]

so, aorus heatsink is 5mm taller but red devil is 10mm longer - to much maths to work out surface area

believe aorus will be 5/6 heatpipes vs red devils 5 . Gaming OC was 5 heat pipes... going to be interesting

Yea I think Aorus will be my next graphics card, I have a blower 5700xt at the moment and it does run hot.

Internal testing against the ROG Strix OC (this is what Gigabyte compared against), the Aorus was 1c cooler, marginally quieter and even though it shares identical clock speeds to the Asus Rog Strix OC (2010MHz Boost) it won every benchmark by a few points, so upto 1%, so its better than the Strix OC which is good, has longer warranty and cost less.

Judging by the Gaming OC this should be a top pick, might be swayed to get this instead of all the other options.

Get the Aorus then, should be here in about a weeks or so time.

was wondering why prices of Gaming OC had started to drop or stay on Sale Mode for a while

you'll have to keep tabs on stock amount and orders from ocuk, sure gibbo or CS would help out

Nothing to do with this card, Gaming OC cost less in USD than this, but the cost of Gaming OC in USD is unchanged, its got cheaper because stronger pound and shall run alongside the Aorus card.

its surprising they haven't fielded a Windforce (dual/triple) 2 slot version to take aim at MSI Mech

Nitro, Red Devil, Gaming OC or Aorus?

when Navi 5500/XT comes out - nvidia best start getting a move on with 7nm cards haha

June 2020 apparently? A tad late to the party! My only concern is driver states? The card isn't my worry as I don't mind paying a premium for silence and cooling.

Basically a fan upgrade with a small bump on the clocks. RGB looks clean, this or a 2070S that's on sale?

should have been frosted transparent plastic . 100% translucent looks like it just doen't diffuse or spread the RGB glow much

Spoiler: its a shame Aorus didn't included the ARGB led tip on each fan, even though now the stack fan concept has been dropped , the lighting should have been kept

I just love the way Gigabyte has implemented that RGB, if only this was a feature on the new 5700XT. Teasing me again!

The sapphire's build quality is really good imo, I remmeber having a Nitro+ RX 580 felt amazing to hold and touch.

The nitro+ standard edition was on offer on overclockers afew days ago looks as if its gone back to normal price.
