Will you buy a RX 5700 Or RX 5700 XT?

Had my ref v56 nearly two years.. it's been a great card tbh. If I do buy Navi I think I'll wait for aib cards this time.. I really don't need an upgrade as it's fine for 1440p 60hz but I'm drawn to getting a higher res and or Hz monitor. Also my current panel doesn't support freesync.

I will let you know when the product,reviews and prices come out.
Possibly. If all goes smoothly, I'll make the transition to an all red team build in the coming months, though the GPU (and even the monitor) may come along a little later. It's not like I really need the extra performance right now anyway. When I do place my order I may get it built for me, though I'm in two minds about that. On the one hand, I'll get more practice/to learn more if I do it myself, but on the other, I'd like to have it looking a bit more professional, a little like in the website pictures.

No, its a console GPU, im on a PC.
Why do you have to be jelly just because the ps5 and Xbox 2 is using a 5700xt level card?
Not that this will be final release anyway. The actual shipping gpu will be the 6700 or 6700xt and developers have been told to expect up to another 20% extra performance over what the 5700xt has if it all goes to plan, plus rayvtracing.

That does not even reach 2080Ti speeds and that was on 12nm with a bunch of extra stuff like RT and Tensor cores. Lol.
Now I would not mind if AMD was late to the party but came in with competitive prices, but all they do is come 1-2 years late and match or price it above Nvidia. What’s the point of that? Keep in mind I am speaking from the point of view of a high-end enthusiast gaming on 4K.
What I want to see AMD do is what they have done with Ryzen, but in the GPU space. My next 2-3 builds will be Ryzen for sure.

AMD doesn't want anyone buying them, thats why they've priced them high, like the RTXs, as with those being priced high as well, they wan't people to start buying consoles, and go streaming instead (Stadia), as whos in those markets ?

Sounds like a plan!! It might work better than anything else they have tried for the last 10 years.

Yes, I am ! (readers read on first, before posting any angry replies) 
Currently I'm considering buying the 5700 as an upgrade for my RX580 8Gb Sapphire Nitro+ (which I got at launch for MSRP £249).
The money is literally sitting there, just waiting for this care to become available.
However, I won't buy blindly into it, will wait for reviews and if I see a better perf for my money elsewhere (like a decent Vega 64), then I'll just go with that.
I cannot justify only upgrading to a Vega 56 from my RX580, it just doesn't seem worth spending the 200-300 for such a relatively small increase in perf.
Will have to wait for those benchmarks to come out.
If I do choose the blower style 5700, it will be with the goal to eventually strip it down for full watercooling.

Who cares about people's anger as it's your money
I think it is too high in price but might come down if units don't sell as desired but the choice is totally yours so you justify it to yourself
Remember crazy people frequent forums all of the time trying to pass Thier opinions as gospel to everyone
Infact you may be reading stuff from one right now!

I'd buy a 5700 if AMD price it appropriately, but it's unlikely they will for some time.
There's not going to be much benefit buying these at launch I don't think.

Assuming of course you can actually buy a £475 RTX 2070 Super. Which you won't. Nvidia will wave that price on their direct store for all to see, but it will never have any stock, which means then customers can only get AIB versions which are already £500+. Exactly the same story as the 10 series.
So if the 5700XT comes in at RRP converted (like Ryzen 3000 is doing), it'll be £429.99 and is matched against the 2070 Founders Edition, i.e. the better-binned and overclocked TU106 also used in the higher-tier AIB versions sold for £480+. So already you're getting better performance than a card £50+ more expensive.
Near 2080 performance and £100 more expensive puts the 2070 Super a different market tier than the 5700XT is aimed at; how exactly does being £100 more expensive make the 5700XT DOA? It doesn't. It would literally take a £100 price drop in existing 2070s to render the 5700XT DOA.

So ... not at all like the Vega 64 launch when AMD only allowed a very strict quantity to be sold at a 'discount' of the advertised price, then immediately hiked it by £100 because their costs were huge?
That sort of thing?

Wasn't that also right around the time the mining craze hit?
Soldato
That was some dubious shenanigans, wasn't it.
Mining didn't influence the price at launch it was a bit later. Launch was also the time Amd had hbm2 supply constraints and hbm modules weren't up to spec as didn't meet speed requirements, also problems in different package heights with temperature issues on the first batch, tried to sell Vega on the Freesync monitor/Ryzen/game bundle to justify it costing more than Gp104.
Then people who cheaped out on their psu found out if they had to spend even more.
Also coil buzz, coil whine and hotspot and black screens were widely reported.
And the delay and reluctance of aibs to introduce custom coolers.
Amen to that.
Thanks for reply - yes indeed it is a little too high..but considering what options exist (and that I'm not really willing to wait, to push my 2k 144Hz monitor), not really giving myself much of a choice..I would be lying, though, if I said I wasn't at least a little excited/apprehensive.
Cheers
