Cliffs:
Over 2000Mhz out the box gaming boost clock
Higher then normal temps (reviewer didn't advise of fan speed).
High power consumption
Voltage is at 1.200V+
Undervolting drop temps immensely with on average 1-3 fps drop in performance (Mem OC 930)
UV dropped power consumption immensly
It beat the Pulse by a long shot.
Looks like card was reviewed on a Riser Card.

Still awaiting more reviews on this one to compare to the nitro +.

This has 4 DP (1.4a) and 2 (2.0b)HDMI ports

Already spoken to our UK Asrock contact as to why our cost seems so much higher than competing Nitro and Devil cards and suggested they get this to around £449 to be more competitive.

It is fascinating to see how nvidia's FE editions are with the higher power consumption, while their partners' cards go with lower.
While with AMD it's the opposite - the reference cards go with lower power consumption, while their partners' are with the higher power consumption.

This is a slightly different from the Nitro.
Nitro is the best Manual Overclocker.
Tiachi is the best out the box OC'd card. For those that don't want to OC manually. At the cost of heat, power consumption, etc.

To note though this Tiachi is a 10-1 phase power. While the Nitro is 8-1 power phase. I need to see the cooler though and how well it does. Steve at Gamer Nexus states he has the Tiachi on the way. Can't wait to see a full comparison between all the AIB 5700xt cards when it arrives.

Hey guys this is the highest clocked 5700xt out there to date Averaging 2033Mhz according to the review. But at 1.204V.
Thoughts?

Watercool or custom aircool a reference and use MorePowerTool. Even better get an AE or an AIB one.
I am not saying this Taichi is a bad card, but £150 over reference model covers the cost of a big cooler or the other AIB ones.

Yeah, I cannot explain why it's so high. But if Steve from Gamer Nexus confirms what I think is the case, the Tiachi should be the best OC'd card out the box regardless of thermals and power consumption.
Which would explain the price. But I will await his review in the next week or so. I hope that cooler can deal with the thermals. That's my concern right now. I can easily manually under volt it and get thermals and power consumption back in line.

If the Heatsink and fan can't deal with the thermals with manual fan speeds then it's the Nitro for me.

Edit:
You won't get the same performacne results with a OEM card WC do to power limitations. Unless you got better then average GPU die. The only AIB card I know that actually has consistently got waterblocks made for it in the past are the Nitro's.

Those have 50% higher performance and support ray-tracing.

Meanwhile, AMD is ignorant and doesn't care to prepare any form of ray-tracing.

LOL

I love how you constantly make these things sound so simple like 3/4 way through a product development they can suddenly add new design elements to support a feature that's barely used. You do realise these gpu's are generally designed several years before they hit the market?

No 5700XT is worth more than £349.99 ;) anything more is laughable its just a GTX2060 level GPU barely 4K capable but overkill for 1080 or 1440 gaming!

lol, it is not as if AMD didn't know that Microsoft and nvidia are pulling the implementation and support of DXR forward.
AMD ignored it and pushed the development of their support back.

Or on planet earth (a place you might want to visit once in a while) the designs for the 5 series were already done and there was no way they could implement ray tracing support until further down the line on another product.

You make all this sound so simple, most of your posts come off like amd should be able to pull titan rtx killers out of their ass on a whim. If it was so simple I'm pretty sure they would have done it by now.

nvidia's RTX series are already a year-old. Their development started several years prior to that. Microsoft knew.... Don't tell me that AMD didn't know that nvidia was working on RTX.

Makes no difference if they knew or not, it's not a deal breaker for most people considering the tech is in its infancy and on a game by game basis has varying results in regards to how noticeable it is. Even if amd did know it's not as if they were going to scrap whatever plans they had on the table for the 5 series and then slap in dedicated ray tracing cores. Reaction to rtx has been varied to say the least, it's not like it's got glowing praise across the board. It has its place in gaming obviously, but right now the performance hit vs the visual change to many isn't worth it.
