The 5700XT is 40-60% faster depending on game. The main problem with the 1070ti is the minimum frame rates are low and so the overall experience with a 5700 series card will be much smoother.

Any news on AIB cards?

Power Color runs a 10 day campaign atm for a "new upcoming Devil". So I guess maybe end of next week we might start having some news about AIB cards.

I was watching Gamers Nexus video this morning. On F1 2018 there is over 20fps difference on the low 1% and 0.1% in favour to 5700XT.
Because I play this game from time to time, 20fps drop is the difference between turn a corner, or stutter and hit the wall.

Which is why I stick to consoles when playing racing games online, because they stick to fixed FPS and there are no "surprises"

Or you know you could limit it yourself, because 1034323492098328409 fps is utterly bourgeoisie.

True, I have everything capped at 143fps to make sure Freesync is working
But also I game at 2560x1440 so there is performance gap until getting over 143fps there on heavy games

Being MSI they will be the ones to avoid - The recommendation has to be wait for the sapphire cards right?

 

[JediFragger]

Yeah MSI are pretty rubbish on AMD, Sapphire and Powercolor are usually strongest in AiB cooling.

So the 5700xt seems almost as quick as a 1080ti?

Seems pretty good considering the price..

mech OC looks like the old armor card which has a **** poor cooler on it. Air boost is the blower card

really - the gaming series of cards have pretty decent coolers on them.

Yea they are total junk - I sent back like at least 8x MSI Gaming cards from the 200/300 series. All factory overclocked and none, and I mean none, could hit that OC. Memory corruption fresh from the box. Niiiiiccceee

There MSI AMD cards and all their laptops are totally sub standard junk imo.

They are OK, what people mean is Sapphire and Powercolor solutions are simply superior.

TBF my gaming X is water cooled so couldn't tell you what its like. I know the armor cooler is awful though, would't touch that with a match.
