yeah you're probably right. has there been any leaked designs for the AIB cards?

Not that I am aware of but I have read that they should be available mid-August. Hopefully that wasn't complete garbage and we see aftermarket cards boosting to 2Ghz+ regularly.

Will be interesting to see these 5700s run with proper RDNA instructions rather than GCN legacy mode.

I am hoping for a '5800' that finally gives me a reason to upgrade from my 1080Ti.

ASRock showed a bunch of concepts for Navi cards at Computex.

I just need a bit more oomph at 1440p, i think the 5700 can do that without breaking the bank. I just need to get my 1070 and V56 sold.

I just watched that Jay2cents vid and whilst the 5700XT beat the 2060 S in most games, you have other things like Raytracing, DXR, Ansel but if it is sheer performance you want at that price range, the 5700XT wins IMO.

I would rather take features that are going to help my gaming experience become better than features that hurt performance and what you really need to look for.
Am not saying ray tracing is bad far from it but I am with AMD on thus one. They will release ray tracing when the time is ready and by that they mean world wide adoption.

I also like the approach amd will be going with ray tracing I.e not having core that just sit there doing nothing when tracing isn't required.

The features what amd are releasing make more sense more responsive gameplay Anti lag and it does work and Radeon image sharpening to make games more sharp.

Ansel is cool and all its a good feature but it's not something I would personally use much.

Let us know your boost clocks should be rapid under water!

bro306 · 9 Jul 2019 at 14:19

Heard people getting 2200mhzBoost clocks under water.

Harlequin · 9 Jul 2019 at 14:28

£390 (RX5700XT) vs £599 (Asus 2070S Strix)

As much as I feel the 5700XT is better value for money, why did you mention it compared to probably the most expensive 2070S you can find?

was a surprise (or shouldnt have been) with the Asus Strix tax - likely then the RX 5700XT Strix would be £499

Yes silly move, 2070 Super is £475 including the Asus EVO which is very fast!

He is probably referring the German guy who watercooled the 5700XT with the EK block.
Personally I wouldn't take that review seriously because he just used MSI AB and PL power slider. MSI AB as per Hilbert (guru3d) said, is flaky at best with Navi as it doesn't have official support for proper overclocking from the developer, this will come with the new version some time soon. So all things can go wrong hence while clocks and power consumption are high, performance isn't.

I am surprised that there are many called themselves "tech reviewers", people take their word as a gospel, companies support them with hardware, when using in year 2019 still MSI AB on AMD GPUs and not Wattman.
And that goes also for Nvidia overclocking also, not using the MSI AB boost curve points which improves overclocking, clock stability and power consumption.
Instead they result to the brute force of the mouse click to move sliders to the right

there is a 2070S EVGA blower card up for £539.99. Sapphire 5700XT is up for £395. In both examples the gap is far wider than many expected.

Still unbelievably overpriced for a mid range card

Not in comparison to the competition, which is all that people will see if they aren't "savvy" and (pointlessly) expecting either company to reduce prices again.
