[@igoresque]

There was a time when people used to ignore Max and Min FPS and just looked at AVG, now I ignore AVG and just look at 0.1% and 1% lows. Because who needs 100 FPS AVG if fluidity is interrupted by drops to 20s.

[@Artcore103]

Yeah, and Vega is actually surprisingly good when it comes to those minimum fps numbers! Often beats nVidia cards with higher avg fps by a substantial margin. not always, but more often than not it's got tighter frame pacing. so far Navi, in this iteration, i don't think is showing those same advantages. it was probably just the brute force overkill design of vega... so many SP's and so much memory bandwidth. couldn't keep them fed fast or efficiently enough to get high maximum fps numbers (and thus averages), but when the lows came it sure chugged through it like a beast.

[@abigailpatridge2948]

@@juniornunez7126 massively disagree. All I even look at are the .1%. Whatever number that is when I benchmark a game on my own systems with my preferred visuals is what I lock the game to. Period. I value fluidity over all else. Then how high a frame rate I can get my maximum fluidity at. Then gameplay. Visuals are somewhere way down at the bottom where nice visuals are nice enough to have but not super important if the game isn't actually going for realism and I tend to avoid games that do because they do not look nearly as good even at the highest visual settings as a game that goes for stylized visuals and fluidity instead.

If they could make a chip with even a 60cu gpu with a 384 bit bus with12gb gddr6 and a die size of 375mm^2, that would increase the core compute unit count and memory bandwidth by 50%, which would on paper increase performance by 50%, but even if theres losses somewhere else, say lower clocks, and lets go with 40%, they would at least have a 2080 super competitor. And then they could have a 52cu card with a 352 bit bus (11gb) or 320 bit bus (10gb) which would help a lot since most of the dies would have imperfections and would help on cost a lot. The only question here would be if 7nm is ready for a 375mm^2 chip or if thats too much atm. One theory I have anyways is that these cards are memory bandwidth starved and that this exact card with say a 320 bit bus would perform better.

From the 5700XT stock all the way to the top it seems to me the only card with a noticeable difference in performance would be the 2080ti, at what, $1200. From the 5700XT stock and 2080 I don't think most would notice much of a difference without an FPS counter. The 2080 maybe in some games it would be noticed by some, but not enough to make a big case to buy the thing at it's price. For up to 1440p gaming the 2060 super, 5700, 2070, 2070 super, 5700XT, what ever, buy what you want you should be good with any one of them. The one you choose will probably make a difference on what graphics settings you use in some games but the cost will be greater for that so pick your poison.

If it's still memory starved then I hope their higher tier cards use HBM, but not stupid amounts of it.

Is it me or your color correction got alot better

[@Jdjsksjdhdj]

i forgot why i stopped watching your videos and now i remember you stack your benchmarks they may be true but they dont show the full picture just the part that favors nvidia. but it just helped me get a 5700 for 280 usd refurbished i got the kraken g12 i have a couple 120mm rads should be great gonna use my stimulus money to buy a 3600 and a custom loop for my $40 thermal take core p5 lol

[@moebius2k103]

I just want a straight clock graph line and as close to silent operation as possible, not single digit FPS increases or necessarily the fastest performance possible.

[@corbinxtitus]

I had that same exact arctic cooler

Currently waiting on the EK water block to drop, gonna see how temps fair with mild tweaking and a HWL 420 keeping it cool.

MORE POWER BABY!

Kraken g10 mount with a corsair 120mm is what i've used on my 970 and 1070

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

Memory overclocking is also greatly limited by how much errors are produced, as AMD cards will simply retry and more retries at a higher clock might lead to lower performance.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

I've ran a modded HD6950 unlocked, overclocked and with increased PowerPlay limits for years before it started artifacting :( Replaced it two years ago.

[@jaylarkin2000]

this GPU is definitely has a memory bottleneck, it will be interesting if amd releases a GPU with 384bit memory bus

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

5700 are mid-end at best. hence the 256 bit. you won't see anything else this year from amd. higher end navi cards are going to fight ampere 7nm, not turing 12nm. won't be an easy task..

[@lorenhusky2717]

The Radeon 7 appears to be the better card, although the 5700XT does have really really good 0.1 and 1% lows compared to pretty much everything else (when modded)

[@ashishm1]

Great video. I have a question. Would this cooler work with a Vega 56 normal version as well?

[@adambelanger3976]

What do you think is the sweet spot for undervolting and overclocking? Not an apple fan seems happy setting the voltage to 959 mV.

[@andljoy]

Paying about 650 GBP for a 1080ti a year or so back is looking like a better and better deal for me! On water mine can do almost 2100mhtz...... yeh , not replacing that badboy.

Is there a navi 5700xt vrm breakdown video on GN or AHOC?.?

[@nindzamaleta3030]

If previous reference AMD cards are anything to go by, it's probably overbuilt.

[@Tallnerdyguy]

@@nindzamaleta3030 especially if you can overvolt by 50%

[@Tallnerdyguy]

@ItsSpeltGoogol yea

[@shaneeslick]

Buildzoid looked at the board, but don't think he has done a breakdown yet

[@shadowjulien5]

There's an old leaked PCB that he broke down that I'm like 99% sure is a 5700xt, it might be slightly different cuz it would be an engineering sample but it should be just about the same.

[@israellewis5484]

If Navi had a bigger memory bus, I would suspect performance from these mods would improve by at least 15% on average

[@itskyleee2081]

Just came to realize that AMD cards are more fun to play with :)
