OcUK RX5700 and RX5700XT review thread

No I'm not.
I've consistently said everything on offer is pretty poor price/performance.

The 2070S also has higher performance.

The 2070S is a great card. But it does not compute, when you have been complaining about performance/$ this whole time and been berating AMD for it.
 
:confused:

What a bizarre thing to say.

I wouldn't have gone so far as to say 'panic mode' but they were certainly interested enough to take notice and throw out the caper crusader that is the 'super' series.

Tbh the supers had a dual function, response to Navi and address the constant negativity around their pricing.

I'd say that, regardless of which side of the GPU fence you're on, Navi has shaken things up a bit and given shoppers some much needed options.
 
I just can't see it being ignorance when people post such rubbish. It's like they have literally entered the computing market and are making random guesses.

vega 64 with blower on this very site 299 nitro plus version 389 for some more clock speed and super cooler, so 90 quid difference. so not far off the 100 quid.

Lol. Is that your proof. Find that one exception and ignore the hundreds of non EoL cards which show nothing of the sort.

I can find much larger differences than £90 if I tried btw. However, they don't represent the market.

so the web site lies to me. AMD I was looking at. not NV cards. who cares anyway, no matter the extra cooler costs the 2070s will be the better card over all. NV knew that and that's why they launched it. wish it wasn't, but NV must have a spy in the amd camp to go just enough to spoil AMD thunder.

Here you go. You were wrong with £100. The difference from blower cards and AIB cards are actually £160. £400 and £560 respectively.

Is this how you come up with your logic?

Maybe we need to add £160 for nvidia cards for AIB models.

edit:

Obviously I don't believe this. I know nvidia AIB markup is minimal apart from the halo models.

Vega 64 cards were a bit weird in pricing. There was only really 2 models from Sapphire with a stock and high end cooler. Sapphire were talking about bringing a Toxic model to the table. In theory they could be bringing a Nitro,Vapour-x and Toxic this round. Hopefully this is the case and remember Vega cards with HBM are not making to much money. The 5700 card should be making money so more to play with. Look at the Polaris cards for this which don't use HBM. The Nitro cards were only around £30 on top of the Blower card.
 
When RTX matures, sure ill jump. . but looking at these reviews i think id opt for saving £100 and grabbing the 5700xt over the 2070s personally. Wouldnt blame anybody for wanting to spend the extra though, the S cards look good.

So you think AMD ones will be 25 quid, ok I hope so for the AMD die hards.

Hmmm apparantly the £330 RX 5700 is faster than that £560 RTX 2070 gigabyte card:
