  Good price for the particular Pulse model, but similarly good 5700XT cards, such as the Gigabyte GAMING OC and PowerColor Red Dragon can be found to be listed at cheaper price, $594 and $570 respectively.

  Different card, but Umart has Asus Radeon RX 5700 Dual EVO OC 8G for $515. that's the cheapest I've ever seen for a RX5700

    This is not the XT version

    Worth going the xt if you can afford, also worth waiting if you can.

    At that point you might as well spend $400 on the 5600XT, very little performance difference between the 5600XT and 5700.

    The 5700 was just end of life'd while the 5700XT will be discontinued early 2021. The 6000 cards are imminent, but I would say the EOL's timing was a more due to the lower end card completely cannibalising the 5700.

      Thanks for the insight,
      I had totally dropped 5600 out of consideration but if they're that closely matched then i need to watch the price of these.too

  Great card i bought at $640 couple months ago - never had any of the issue people report with AMD cards and get a steady 165fps on 1440p (high-ultra settings). However with the imminent release of 6000 series cards, I'd say this should be priced around $550 or less to be a good deal - especially with the 2xxx series NVIDIA cards taking a nose dive in prices.

  considering the new AMD graphic cards, I would strongly suggest waiting to see how those turn out, or for a bit extra money, get a 3070.

    Shame it's only a cheap SATA drive, they've done better in the past. My Gigabyte 5700XT OC had a redeemable 512GB NVMe SSD.

  That GPU is not going to compliment that screen, believe me I have one and I had a 2070s. It's going to struggle.

    Ouch, that’s not good. I couldn’t find a better AMD free sync 2 support. This is the best money could buy…
    Maybe once the 6000 series come out I’ll have to flip this one and get a 6000.

      2080ti struggles with these screens mate, I'm waiting on a 3080 which will do the job otherwise wait on the new AMD offerings.

        I have 2 x 1440 27” 144hz monitors and they run fine with the 1080 I have. But I guess that’s because I game on one monitor at a time rather than both combined.

        I haven’t been gaming lately, this is going to be 95% for work so I hope it will suffice to give me clear text at 1440 and 125hz refresh. Otherwise I’ll have some explanation to do with my wife LOL

          @ItsGod: For work loads you'll be fine yes, it's just high end gaming where it'll struggle.

      I'm using a Samsung 49" LC49HG90DMEXXY with my RTX2080, my monitor works fine with FreeSync "Standard Engine" mode and the Nvidia driver allows me to turn on "Adaptive-Sync" on this monitor just fine.

      But I share the same sentiment as other people on this. No way the RX5700 XT will be able to drive your monitor (it's LC49RG90SSEXXY I am guessing?) at 120 at the highest settings on current gen games :/.

      I know HZD is poorly optimised and not the best to compare, but it's the game I am playing the most at the moment and I am getting FPS around 60-80 with the RTX2080 on that at the 3840x1080 resolution my screen is at, I imagine your screen with 5120x1440 will be a struggle to run AAA games on ultra settings and max resolution. Maybe DLSS up-scaling is the best bet for you to get decent gaming performance - but you'd need to get on a RTX30 series card for that, and I don't know how well games really support that in practice!!

      Edit: Oh I just read your post about 95% for work use lol, well if purely on that front then the RX5700 XT will do the job. Even my old-ass work laptop with built in Quadro P1000 GPU works fine via HDMI on my screen.

        Thanks for the explanation.
        Yes, I used to play often, but I've been stuck working instead… not as much fun :)
        I have a PS5 on order, I try to limit play time to the lounge room so I can still be around the kids when I play (once or twice a month albeit).

        I guess this GPU will do me fine and if/when I go back to PC gaming I will invest into the RTX3000 or RX 6000.

  A bad time to be buying these cards with RDNA2 being only days away and 3070/3080 on the market and $600 isnt special, its been this much on amazon all the time. used on facebook marketplace your looking at $500 or a 2070super for the same used price but this will drop with AMDs launch

    You are confusing the Sapphire with the PowerColor.
    And comparing used to new is oranges… I’d pay an extra 20% for new over used any day of the week.
