A GPU is a separate bank of ALUs and FPUs, designed to offload heavily parallelizable calculations from the main CPU onto a dedicated chip. The Graphics Card refers to the entire sub-system, containing the PCB, Memory, and Cooling solution.

I had the same experience with this card. I now have gone through the 6950xt to the 7900xtx and I just have a soft spot for the 5700xt . The small form factor and the unreal stability and performance with not alot of heat like the other two cards and massive power draw.. I too had some kinks at first with this card but may it be driver updates or user error after i got used to it i was just blown away. 1080p to 2k this card is a awesome choice still imo. I recently gave it to a friend for her build and she has no idea how awesome this card is. she is going to pair it with a ryzen 5700xt cpu that i will build for her. 650 watt psu because thats all this card needs and 3600mhz ram with m.2 and ssd drives shes in for a real treat. I also had the gigabyte version and added thermal paste and it just loved it. My 7900xtx heats my living room, takes up my whole case and drives up already expensive energy bill paired with a 1200 watt psu. I will miss this treasure of a gpu 5700xt.

I had it new, then sold it to some miner for 3x MSRP and now bought it back for $130. Best card ever.

this is my first card ever since pandemic 2020 until now, and since i only play indie and old games and old esports titles like cs2 or csgo back then this is heaven to me just on 165hz 1080p monitor

[TheBigern]

Bought my rx5700 xt for $120..slapped it into a Dell 7050 along with a i7 7700 32 gb ddr4, 1tb nvme and for 380 I can game no issue all the way up to 4k..

[hiimdrewdlr]

just got a 5700xt a few months ago, absolutely no problems other than OW2 starting stuttery for around a minute, then being totally fine after

hope it lasts a good amount of time, as its just a price to performance killer. amd software also seems to be quite mature, rate it after having been on team green for 5 years

[robertblemings]

Great budget card, got the exact same model a couple of days ago for 145$

[Egggcorn]

Built my first pc with this bad boy just upgraded to the 7900xt will always have this as my favorite

[brettmacahilos]

Got this one too, the variant is yeston game master white and pink fan edition

[dabbzgaming]

Actually picked up a ROG STRIX 5600xt for my 12700kf build for only $110 and it works perfectly, gonna upgrade to maybe a 6700xt come Christmas time!

[ElevatedMtbAvion]

had his card for 4 years great card out performed he 2070 super a the time ran well just played 1440 p alot and with star field didnt like that the game ran at 30 fps high 50 got a 7800xt and hope it last just as long

For UE4 games, always play them in DX12 if possible and if they're UE 4.19+, you can enable TAAU (or TSR in 4.26+) and set 67% resolution scale for a DLSS2/FSR2 like Quality preset.

Better TAA, better performance and close to identical image quality.

Some additional sharpening from ini set to 1.0-2.0 also helps.

Don't use RIS + ReBar on 5700 XT, it breaks performance and has a VRAM leak, generating VRAM overhead.

[Константин-чек]

Ты прав, чел. В качестве временной затычки до покупки чего-то мощного - идеальный варик цена-производительность. Единственный момент по цене - 160евро+термопрокладки для обслуживания. Итого +- 180.

[kellenbrown]

Coming from consoles, this card would be ideal if I was aiming for 2k 100+fps right?

[FilthyCasualGamingwDan]

I have one. Can't get it to work though. Hard crashes everytime. Going to try to start from scratch and see where that gets me.

[ohorta]

My first ever GPU was an ATI x1900 xtx, grabbed a 9500gt after it died. Nowadays I’m running a rx5700 non xt. Works good enough.

[oliverbrueckner]

nice i bought a amd card this year first time its an rx 6600 i really like the low power consuption only 100 watt max and the driver menue i like more than nvidias and i can play all games decent at 1080p

[splashboi]

Got one few months ago for 120 and another now for 80, prices dropping like crazy

[Radek]

My GPU for over 3 years. Hoping it can provide me with 1080p 60 fps in GTA VI

[markhovscrch]

Recently I brough RX 5700XT Gigabyte from Facebook marketplace all I need is to replace the paste, pads and clean board

[louieestrivo]

I was wondering if I should upgrade my 600W PSU to 750W for RX 5700 xt then you said 550W recommendation by AMD is enough. Thank you for the overall review!
