His I'm looking at buying this
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/Giga...DDR6-PCI-Express-Graphics-Card-GX-1B9-GI.html
Can you tell me is it good or are there problems with it just upgraded a pc to a ryzen 3700x and gigabyte x570 elite gameing at 1080 p but going to upgrade to a 1440p monitor also have the driver issues been sorted now thanks

Good, solid card with positive reviews.

Don't be tempted to spend £20 more on the Asus Rog Strix - thermal contact problems.

Just installed my sapphire without any driver problems ( on a fresh windows install )

Well that kinda sucks, as I've not long bought this very same card. Am I right in thinking that I'll now be needing to return it to an Asus service centre or @OCUK to get the hardware upgrade done?

I thought Asus was offering some sort of fix it kit?

Yes, I believe they are having looked into this a bit more after my OP. But it does require sending the card back to an Asus service centre or Asus agent for the fix...it's not a self fix kit or it voids the warranty. I think some have done they're own take on the fix by simply tightening the screws up or adding washers, then tightening the screws...but again a warranty breach.

I've dropped the tech support guys here (OCUK) a message for some more info :)

I picked up the MSI Evoke 5700XT OC the other day. Must say I am very impressed, nice and quiet and not the factory design which was important to be able to fit in my case.

I must say though I have had 2 instances of the black screen issue people have been reporting so far, some people are saying it was fixed in the latest drivers release but that doesn't seem to be the case for me. Both times it has happened has been when I have been watching youtube, no gaming. I think someone mentioned something about low idle voltages potentially causing this issue. I'll mess with the voltages to see if that helps but it shouldn't really be something I should have to do, that said I have found the card overclocks pretty well.

i have the same issues in gaming with no browser up. can crash multiple times.

is there an issue, i have thought about returning it and going back to my TI since my case isn't an issue now - 2.5 slot card didn't fit the evolve shift x itx.

Haha indeed!!! I picked up a little bargain from LtMatt from the MM, a nice 5700XT AE which I am really liking I must admit. I was worried with all the horror stories about the drivers but I must say I am seriously impressed with it. I installed the latest drivers and it has been superb!

Currently running it using LtMatts's recommended settings of : 2044mhz @ 1.125Mv @ 46% Fan Speed +50% Power Limit and it has been flawless so far. The only slight issue I had was when installing the drivers, it asked whether I wanted a profile applying, Esports, Gaming or Standard. First time around I chose Gaming and the performance was very stuttery. I then reset it to defaults and chose standard, changed to LtMatts settings and it's been perfect since!

I'd attach a picture but I can never remember how to! (Edit, managed it).

Hey guys, new here. I recently left WOW so i find myself in need of a better GPU to do some gaming. Today i got a new 32inch 4k HDR Freesync monitor and was thinking of the 5700XT, it should be able to handle most of the games above 40fps in 4k and i don't play fps or fast paced games. What's your thought on the Sapphire 5700XT Pulse? I'm interested especially because of the Trixx software so i can get even more fps at 4k (any feedback on this software?). I also like the MSI Mech but looks like thermal and noise are much worse than the sapphire. I'm limited to 26.5/27cm lenght gpu because of my itx build, hence why i didn't put more cards in the game! The game bundle with RE3 (which i'm going to buy anyway) and Monster Hunter makes it way cheaper than the 2070S

Also, when i built this pc i didn't think i would need more than 450w psu, i have a corsair SF450 gold, do you think is going to be enough with the rig in the signature plus 1M.2 ssd, 1 ssd, 1 wd blue 2.5
