Crypto mining doesn't destroy a card. It can actually be better treated in the hands of a miner than in the hands of a gamer Since miners tend to underclock the cards and run them 24-7, so there's less Contracting and expanding when the card turns on and off like with a normal user

The average crypto bro does not give a damn about the health of their GPU. They buy them up by the pallet, they mine to within a millimeter of electronic death, and then turn around and sell them at a profit, as if they are doing the gamers a favor. It's insulting, it is disgusting. And the sad thing is, even the most common successful repairs are of cards with GDDR5X or 6/x. *NOBODY* has successfully repaired a dead HBM card. So, DO NOT. EVEN.

I snagged a 5700XT (MSI Armor?) from my friend who said it "crashed" all the time. After taking off the heatsink, it was apparent that either MSI or someone else handled this card so poorly, that the thermal pads were not installed on the VRAM in the right spot. After fixing that, I ran the card into the ground. After two applications of Kryonaut, the hotspot on the card still hit over 90C, and it ended up artifacting almost 2 years into it's purchase date. Bought a 3070Ti Refurbished from MicroCenter and have never had to even work the fan speed. Love it to death for the 300USD I paid for it. TLDR The 5700XT was KNOWN to have absolute trash models. If you didn't get a mangled card from the factory, it was great. But in my experience it was about 3 out of every 10 5700XTs I ended up repairing were from terrible heatsink design.

I looted a p620 out of a dell precision i got from one of my dads bids, its a nifty little card. a lil annoying with the mini displayport adapters, but its nifty for what it is.

[@MrCommunistGen]

You gave me a slightly worried flashback. I had to go look at the specs on the P620 and was able to breathe a sigh of relief. I bought a Quadro P400 on eBay during the GPU shortage when I needed a 2nd GPU to tinker with (GPU transcoding IIRC) and was surprised to find out that the P400 underperformed the iGPU from a Ryzen 2400G paired with DDR4-2667. I wouldn't have guessed it was possible for a Pascal generation dGPU with a dedicated framebuffer could be slower than an iGPU. Thankfully, at least on paper, the P620 looks like it's about 2x as fast as a P400. Enjoy! Sometimes simply getting to play games is enough and you don't need to have all the eye candy to have a lot of fun.

[@Leeericos]

The only games I play that it would even break a sweat running at 4K were Genshin Impact and Elden Ring, while it ran everything else I care about without issue at 60+ with a mix of settings and resolutions. It's like a reliable friend; When my other GPU I'd previously upgraded to (a used 3080 Ti prior to the 7800 XT) crapped out on me out of the blue, I popped the 5700 XT out of my Hackintosh, and it had my back until I could get a new card.

[@raresmacovei8382]

Another general tip for RDNA1: DXNAVI (official since 23.7.2 on RDNA1) boosted DX11 (and DX10) performance A LOT on 5700 XT. So if a game is generally CPU bound, like most Unreal Engine 4 games, absolutely use DX12 for best performance. However if a game is generally GPU bound, like Control or Metro Exodus and it has a DX11 option, usually you'll see some ~10 fps more on DX11 than on DX12. Also ReBar increases VRAM usage exponentially and usually performance degrades. Best case scenario, boosts fps by 3-5 fps in very, very few titles. Not worth it given it mostly degrades performance across most other games.

@@kevinerbs2778 I do not like it, coz I do not have it :P I buy only used ones. I stated only facts, SLI is pointless since ages. RTX4060ti 16gb does not have point for gaming, but still better than this SLI of power monstes.8GB should be enough, but then you would complain about less VRAM. In fact even a basic rtx4060 is going to be better than this SLI from time to time (Phatom Liberty DLC with RT)....

@@kevinerbs2778 Sorry mate, but in tests, even 8gb version is better, without these features, most of the time, if not every time, unless vram issue. CP2077 was only an example to show edge case, where even basic rtx4060 without ti is better than this useless SLI.

I'm currently using 5700xt. I bought it a few months ago 120 dollars in Türkiye. It's enough to play warzone, cs2 and rdr2 in 1080p.

I really wanted to get an XFX THICC III RX 5700 XT but seeing the initial performance of Alan Wake II on it made me spend a bit more and choose an XFX RX 6650 XT instead.

genuinely love the 2080ti , but its so hard to find used versions of them in my country.

ReBar seems to alleviate the 0.1% lows on RDNA and its successor in RDR2 somehow. Maybe something timing related that certain assets end up way behind without.

[@ronjatter]

The 2080ti was a bit of a monster. It had a die size of 754 mm². Unfortunately the 250w Nvidia allowed it was far too low for it to really stretch its legs. With an increased power limit they could provide significantly more performance. Of course when it came to the 30 series, Nvidia increased the power limits significantly

[@50H3i1]

I wish you included 2070/2070super/2060super to see how 5700xt's real competition does

Still rocking my 2080ti but it's starting to show its age with newer AAA's. With Intel's issues and the 9000 series AM5 coming in kind of mid lately I don't know when my next PC build will be

Im your honest opinion iceburg tech whats faster rx 5700xt or gtx 1080 ti as both gpus can be had for a similar price now thanks? In the uk i nought a 5700 xt for £60 but sold it to cex as was overheating but bought another one for £80 were as i have a gtx 1080 ti to pick up for £110 which do u think is better thanks

[@anasevi9456]

5700XT is the perfect single monitor e-sports gaming cafe card, more so given how their prices bombed on the used market. But what a PoS. The QoL for multimonitor productivity setups dropped off a cliff with the RDNA series cards, even to this day; so I just went back to Nvidia. Loved my Vega 64 and it's HBM made it the most efficient 2d workload card I've ever owned, but new Radeon just doesnt seem to care about anything much beyond having the highest FPS in the latest CoD.

[@tasotokat]

I always look for value/performance. I bought red devil 5700xt almost two years ago around 150$. Can't complain. I had RX470 nitro+ 4gb mining edition before that works still and give it to my cousin. He have a free upgrade over rx 560 4gb. 5700xt still rocks FHD.

[@BREEZYM6015]

Should I get the 5700 XT to pair with my i7 8700k?

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

I had both cards, 2080ti in my main desktop, and a 5700 (that you could flash to a near 5700xt) that I used in a secondary media center pc. The series wasn't bad, but it's like AMD just gave up and didn't want to try to compete with nvidia. Also the card wasn't 1000 bucks, it was 1200.

[@AvroBellow]

There's no question that both the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT were the best GPUs of that generation. Sure, they couldn't do ray-tracing but RT is still irrelevant for the most part even today. The RX 5700 XT cost the same as an RTX 2060 but performed like an RTX 2070. I personally know how great this card is because I still own an XFX THICC-III version of it. The first card I bought was an XFX Triple-Dissipation (because I don't see the point in paying more for the "top-level" version of ANY card) and there were hardware issues with it. It caused power-off resets (something that drivers can't do) and so I RMA'd the card. To their credit, XFX replaced it with a THICC-III (the high-end model) and I noticed that instead of an 8+6-pin connector, it had the full 8+8. My guess is that the 8+6 wasn't enough. I knew for sure that it wasn't drivers because when I popped out my first RX 5700 XT to send to XFX for RMA, I popped in my old Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro without re-installing the drivers and all instability immediately ceased. Again, without changing the drivers, I popped in the replacement 5700 XT and everything was fine. All of the people whining about drivers just didn't know what they were doing. That's why no reviewers were able to duplicate the problems that people were claiming. Either they had a hardware problem like I did or they don't know the proper way to install a new video card (especially when changing brands). It's not as simple as a lot of people think, this is high-end tech after all and while it's not rocket science, it's also not playing with lego.

[@tyler6602]

The only time I had issues with drivers was on a rx580 around 2020, if I overclocked it too much and it crashed it would screw the drivers and I'd have to reinstall them lol, I still have the GPU and it doesn't happen anymore on the newest drivers

5700xt goes down in history as one of those legendary GPUs, like the 1080ti The 2080ti will never be that.

[@Dragonlord826]

The 2080ti isn't a legend in the same way. It was the last GPU to support SLI, first to introduce RTX, DLSS, and a few other tech. It was truly a marvel of technology.
