The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

[Bounce]

A Proud owner of a Powercolor Red Dragon 5700 XT.
I took £319 punt when i saw it appeared last Wednesday morning in the clearance section. "B Grade" - which could mean anything really.
But £319! There where a few others available at that point a nitro but that was nearer 400 and a red dragon which was 350-360 i think.

Anyway, I have been testing the card all week and its perfect. No issues I have seen at this point.
Its quiet, temps are good just like the reviews.
Its certainly and improvement over my previous Sapphire Pulse Vega 56.

I will join the club once I get pictures sorted.

Here hope for some more improvements and features in the December driver release

Good choice iv heard the red dragon is a good card for its price.

Do you still get the warranty as its b grade?

 

[Gibbo]

Am I likely to see any power or bottleneck issues running one of these with a Superflower 650w, 4790K, 16gb ram & a few ssd's?

I suspect 650W will be on the limit to be honest, especially if your overclocking anything, be sure to undervolt the GPU and maybe even the CPU as will no doubt help.

Cheers, what PSU wattage would you recommend?

Cheers, what PSU wattage would you recommend?

AMD recommend 600w as minimum, 700w is recommended.

I suspect if you have a high quality 650w psu it will be fine.

Managed to grab an EVGA 650 P2 for £69.99 new not so long ago.

Superflower Leadex Gold, might take a punt with it.

So is the 5700 stable now in terms of drivers? I've seen conflicting thoughts over the web.

I'm thinking of replacing my Vega 56 Pulse because the coil whine still drives me mad, even after 18 months (can even be heard at 60fps with my headset on). I've seen a few references in this thread to whine on the Nitro and Powercolor models which is sort of holding me back at the moment... Is whine wide spread like it seems to have been on the Vega Pulse?

Well for me at least the situation has improved greatly since I first got my Nitro+.
No more stuttering in games and the stability seems ok with the Wattman auto-undervolt. If I try to auto-overclock using Wattman though games (and Timespy) crash. I'm not that bothered about this though since I'm getting a pretty big improvement from an old GTX 950!

I can't hear any whine and I'm certainly very sensitive to that type of noise, but I do have mine connected to an 850w PSU so that may help.

You might get some sort of warranty from the manufacturer, which you honestly should, but you might not.
@Gibbo might be able to tell you more.
Apart from that it's 90days from OCUK

 

[Kevin Matthews]

Trying to undervolt my reference card, have memory set to 900 but might decrease that to 890. and power limit to +10 clock is 1920/1031.straight line also as @Panos suggested.

Benchmark in Red Dead highest temp was 83c. But in graph still showing odd gpu spikes all over the place.

Seem to have bit of issue with like texture pop in or something in certain parts. Any Recommendations how get maximum performance.

This is nothing short of an incredible deal, even though you gotta put a little effort in the end result is a hugely powerful 1080P/1440P graphics card that are even 4k capable at a totally insane bargain price, remember the AMD games offer to make the value even better and Asus 3yr warranty which OcUK deal with.

I've not experienced any issues using a splitter cable on my reference 5700XT. I do have a modular PSU, so can use separate cables, but the extra cable for me just starts to make things look untidy.
I do get the occasional coil whine, but it is generally only on boot-up if me PC hasn't been on for a day. I know, shock horror, a PC not being on 24/7 lol.

From what i understand its better to have dedicated Power supply for each connection, its best not to daisy chain.

Thanks for the thoughts. Still undecided though! Read a lot about poor performance in older games which is still putting me off... Probably driver problems, but still, you don't buy a new card for lower FPS

 

[Kevin Matthews]

Currently have Sapphire Stock Reference with quite annoying coil whine. Just placed an order for the Sapphire Nitro Special Edition would it be straight swap when installing?

Also any one recommend where I could sell my reference as only purchased from overclockers in July.
