In this review, we’ll focus on the little brother of the Radeon RX 5700 XT, the RX 5700. Featuring a reduced feature set, this card targets a larger 1080p performance market. A market that heavily focus on more FPS given the large selection of 144hz to 240hz monitor coming out of this range.
The Radeon RX 5700 Series graphics cards is a major leap forward for the company as it is heavily touted to compete with NVIDIA’s mainstream offering but this time come in at a more efficient power envelope than before. Fabbed in 7nm and features AMD’s brand new RDNA architecture as well some driver-level features, AMD is positioning this card in the mainstream, filling in the confusing price point that sees the NVIDIA GeForce 1660 Ti, NVIDIA RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 compete with their older part options, the GTX 1080 Ti and also the Radeon Vega cards.
AMD is focusing on performance foremost and does not introduce any new features and foregoes attempts at real-raytracing whatsoever. Even at its best, NVIDIA has not had any game changing title to champion as its RTX flagbearer and development has just recently picked up. With the larger portion of the market after more FPS above all, it is a smart move from AMD to focus on what’s needed rather than what’s nice. With that said, the Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700 target both the RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 at their respective price point. AMD, made an announcement earlier that the previously announced prices of the Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700 of $450 and $380, respectively, are now at a lower $400 and $350. This is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA’s release of the RTX Super lineup replacing the RTX 2070 with a more-CUDA core endowed RTX 2070 Super sharing the same TU104 die as the RTX 2080 versus the older RTX 2070 on a TU106 silicon. The RTX 2060 will now live on side-by-side with an RTX 2060 Super that features more CUDA cores and a larger 8GB VRAM on a wider memory bus.
These changes has made the NVIDIA RTX line-up a bit more competitive but from a price-point perspective, AMD has the advantage coming in. Still, what matters is performance and that’s we’re about to look at today. Featuring our new batch of gameplay test suite, we put the Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700 to the test in some of the most popular games today.
In this review, we’ll focus on the AMD Radeon RX 5700 . This card goes against the RTX 2060 from NVIDIA. Please see our review of the Radeon RX 5700 XT here.
Unboxing
About the Radeon RX 5700 XT
I got the gigabyte RX 5700 8gb it’s true its hot but can fixed by simply enabling fan curve in the MS Afterburner does not go beyond 68 degrees no matter what game I play on 68% fan speed noise not an issue since my electricfan is louder & I use heaphone anyways very happy with my purchase. I find it weird though your using a 9900k your hitting 88 fps while im getting 92 fps on shadow of the tomb raider but im only using a ryzen 5 1600 only with the same settings you have on the graphs on 1080p, does SOTR favor amd instead of intel ? Can some other R5 1600 + Rx 5700 user here confirm my findings?
