Great deal for this card as haven't seen a 5700XT this cheap for a while…
:)
Update: Price decreased from 614.20 to $608.29

Out of all the retailers I've had to claim warranty with, Amazon has been really good (both US and AU).
They never ask too many questions and always seem to resolve things quickly.
Nothing worse than having to warranty a product and have to answer 10 silly questions on whether you've damaged it or diagnosed the problem correctly. Many local retailers treat me like a criminal when making warranty claims.
Yeah i've had great experience with Amazon Au & assume US would be same.
Still can't quite understand how the warranty is being processed because from what i can tell if you were to send the product back to the manufacturer they shouldn't honor the warranty since its out of US.
So i guess Amazon gives you a replacement & sends the product to Supplier to claim warranty.
I'm waiting until RDNA2 and Ampere. My GTX 1080 manages just fine since 2018. Can't believe 4 years later and fastest AMD card is only 25-30% faster. Even NVIDIA side doesn't fare that better with the 2080 Super is like 10% on top of RX 5700XT. Yes, Pascal is now 4 years old.
I'm still rocking a 570. The prices of gpus have been nuts for the past half decade.
The higher tiered cards are overpriced but the 1650 super and 1660 super were a large price/perf upgrade over the previous generation.
I bought RX 5700 for $479 and flashed XT BIOS. Amazing performance for price.
2018 is four years ago now?
Edit. I missed the 2018 part. Must mean, that he's had it for 2 years but the architecture is 4.
Sorry, 2016. Don't know why I put 2018 but it was 2016 as in release date. I bought the card in January 2017.
If you bought it in 2017 you would have paid close to $1000 if not over, I bought mine in 2018 and it was retailing around $900. This 5700XT is selling for $623 that's $380 cheaper and 30% faster according to you, I don't know what you're complaining about?
@Deal Or-No Deal: If you bought it in 2018 for $900 you got ripped off big time due to mining. I bought it for $920 in January 2017, and then GTX 1080 Ti release push them down to $800 or even less. If you can't understand what I'm complaining about, then you probably don't understand why it's being sold for $1,000 in 2016. Because it's around 70% faster than GTX 980 that was released in 2014, just 2 years prior. Fast forward 4 years later, you don't even see that kind of performance jump with the GTX 2080 Ti, much less RX 5700XT.
Sure, AMD sell 5700XT for $623 is good and all, but come on it's 4 years. We should have seen 100% increase in performance if not more, even if it cost more than $1,000. The fact that neither of the brand can do that is what I'm complaining about. You know the jump from GTX 780 -> GTX 1080 in 3 years it's already over 100%.
GTX 1080 Release date: May 27, 2016
Ironic how the prices kept flying up even though GPU technology almost reached a physical plateau
(Sure, inflation and crypto mining)
Well that's probably why tbh. If something gets harder and harder to improve on, more and more resources need to be spent for smaller and smaller improvements.
careful ozbargain's AMD fanbois will downvote you
Same, my GTX 1080 still has some life in it. Anything better than this is overpriced.
Only just got a new GPU and when I say new it was a RTX 2060 Super 8gb.. last one I bought was a HD 6950 2gbb in 2012, lol. Admittedly haven't gamed but prob due for a new build. Should have just used my old case and 600w PSU given the current stuff around for stock and high prices.
GPU progress the last few years has been disappointing to say the least, we only got like 50% improvement with 200% price increases.
Have they fixed the overheating issues with the XT version yet?
You can never have too much dissipation
I'm going to avoid this card. Spend a bit more and get the thic iii.
Discussion here: https://amp.reddit.com/r/XFX/comments/gcsvo3/new_xfx_rx_5700…
Better off buying a cheaper card and third party cooler like https://www.arctic.ac/worldwide_en/ax4.html if you can fit it.
Was $99 when I bought it.
Personally I got this: https://play3r.net/reviews/cooling/id-cooling-frostflow-120-…
Bit hard to find, but i got mine of ebay for about $65.
I then attached it to a RX 5700 which i flashed with the XT bios. Performs great, about the same as any other 5700XT. According the AMD's software i am in the 95% for performance for 5700XT's.
Total was about $520-550, this was a few months ago though.
Wouldn't you need cooling for the VRMs? How would that work with this?
@do minator: The kit comes with little aluminium heat sinks you attach to the VRMS and DDR6.
Had to slightly off center the heat sinks on DDR6 due to clearance. But both actually run significantly cooler than the stock blower cooler it had on it.
This reddit post suggested buying smaller heat sinks, but i found the ones that came with the Frostflow 120 to be fine, so I haven't installed the extra cooper ones i got yet. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/dz8wxs/rx_5700_aio_idc…
The GTX 1080 I bought has one of these absolute behemoths on it. Keeps it to under 70c. Very impressed.
Except 95% of people don't want to do that.
Hang on, is the thic iii the one that all the tech reviewers said was a terrible card? I'm pretty sure it was a 5700 XT. This is probably a fair deal here but, just not sure about XFX and 5700XTs for cooling performance, do research before pulling the trigger I'd say
Was the 1st gen thicc ii ultras that had heating issues. XFX have revised their heatsink design since then I think and it's okay now.
Seems the Xbox series X is 15% more powerful then this.
The Xbox Series X will be using a GPU with 3,328 Stream Processors spread across 52 compute units. This might not mean a lot to many folks, but to put it in perspective, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT – the current AMD RDNA flagship – is rocking 2,560 Stream Processors across 40 compute
wish someone to extract the GPU on Xbox SX, and put it on a graphic card, maybe cheaper than buy a similiar graphic card.
Unless all you'll be doing is gaming, I mean no Photoshop, no editing, no nothing just streaming and recording, and browser logins then the series X is a pc like no other pc you can add a mouse and keyboard or controller, it's a pc just with a UI type system like steam.
If you can picture logging into steam all day, and nothing else then the Xbox series X isn't a bad deal (if the price is right,) with gamepass, and xcloud streaming, and rewards for gaming.
(similar to the 10 cents bottle recycling collection but for playing games. I know wtf)
However if Microsoft allows a feature on the Xbox series X to operate like windows 10 (since nothing is even revealed what the Xbox sex box will be like UI wise, meaning you can have it in a variety of modes it would be interesting) definitely interesting.
Your statement is correct, but your explanation is not very good. Just because it has a lot of stream processors and compute units doesn't exactly mean it is more powerful. The 2080 Super has 3072 stream processors while the Radeon VII has 3840 yet it still manages to crush the VII.
Never said it was powerful then those gpu's that's what your stating, it's all in the silicon baby.
Such a non pragmatic way of looking at things.
I'm just saying CUs and stream processors ≠ performance.
Edit: Oh you mean because they are both RDNA (ish) then it does in this instance?
@Void: Microsoft custom architecture built purely from direct X 12 extreme will (just like Sony's prirpriatery ssd)push amd silicon to what's not capable on a normal system built by amd.
Yea the 3080 rtx will decimate the sex box, but its going to have driver issues, and suffer a hit on Microsofts pipeline while also beyond the point of Nvidia lineup.
But remember amd and Nvidia are not in the business towards making games, they sell condoms to the public, and silicon to the rich.
Was this the misleading card Hardware unboxed did a video on and basically it had one of the least weight in heat sink and it was just the shroud making it look big?
You tell us😉
any feed back on this card?
wait for ampere?
One can only hope that the new consoles will finally cause inflated GPU prices to drop. A$623 for a GPU hat the SLOWER than the upcoming Xbox Series X doesn't make much sense to me.
Yes but most consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox’s
are sold at loss. They try to make money from the games you will eventually buy.
Havnt had a suss of any xbox or ps5 stuff. Are their gpus better than a 5700 xt?
wiki says that the gpu on the ps5 is going to be a custom but the compute units line up with a 5600xt/5700.
the only issue regarding the OP question is that I dont think new consoles reduce prices of gfx cards.
I dont remember the ps4 doing any favours for gpus prices on PC.
No I expect console prices to go up, PS3 launched here at $1000, I expect PS5/XSX to be around the $800 mark. There is a reason both sides have avoided announcing any pricing so far, it's not going to be cheap especially with this pricey fast SSDs onboard.
Never heard of this. Is it the same as the THICC III or different?
Different… not as good in terms of quality if u scroll up I put a link to the thic iii it’s about $30 more
Gee I hope it is better than the THICC III, THICC III is awful
Thicc III - Do not buy

Alternative press
All the videos you've linked are THICC ll. THICC lll is completely different.
@Deal Or-No Deal: Thank you for pointing that out! Appreciate that, I hope this is a great card then
this or 2060 super
If you are a gamer then this, if you want CUDA cores for TensorFlow then 2060.
I have a MSI ,2070 gaming z at the moment, should I switch to this one?
No. You have a better card.
it's on par for gaming - better for other tasks.
hmm need a media pc for the tv just good enough for 4k video, would a cheap second hand office computer for $100-200 be better and would they be good enough (4-8gb ram, i5 3570 or something)
How many display ports does this have?
Good price personally waiting for corona time to die down or whenever prices drop.
Would prefer to avoid the hassle of warranty returns & don't even know how its handled unless if its international warranty… Assume amazon would handle it i guess which they probably shouldn't lol.
