Powercolor Radeon Rx 5700 Xt Dual Fan 8gb Review

Introduction

PowerColor today launched the Radeon RX 5700 XT Ruddy Devil, its flagship custom-pattern graphics card based on the new 7 nm AMD RX 5700 XT Navi graphics processor. This menu arrives hot on the heels of AMD's add together-in lath partners launching custom-pattern Radeon RX 5700-series graphics cards a little over a month following the July 7th launch of Navi. The Red Devil is positioned as an extremely premium offering, right in the middle of NVIDIA's RTX 2060 Super and RX 2070 Super and priced at $440 ($450 for a premium package with more than accessories, which we cover in this review). The PowerColor RX 5700 XT Ruby Devil tops Navi with a manufacturing plant overclock, a gargantuan cooling solution that looks a class above, and has many enthusiast features you lot'd wait from much pricier cards.

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is AMD's offset true performance-segment graphics menu in over ii years since the RX Vega series. It'due south based on the brand new "Navi" architecture that leverages the seven nm silicon fabrication proces and brand new number-crunching mechanism AMD calls RDNA compute units. These plant the biggest update to AMD's GPU design since the very first Graphics CoreNext (GCN) compages circa 2013. Together with clock speeds, RDNA is designed to bring almost massive IPC improvements over GCN. The silicon also has a number of architectural changes. An interesting series of toll adjustments and product launches ensures that even at its starting price of $399, it offers a bit more cost-performance than NVIDIA.

AMD had originally planned to launch the Radeon RX 5700 XT at $449 and the RX 5700 at $399, with the ii cards beating the $499 NVIDIA RTX 2070 and $349 RTX 2060, respectively. This forced NVIDIA to refresh its lineup with the new RTX 2070 Super at $499 and the RTX 2060 Super at $399. The RTX 2060 Super in particular was carefully crafted not to cannibalize the RTX 2070. AMD seeped into this imbroglio of NVIDIA and slotted the RX 5700 XT at $399 and the RX 5700 at $349, at which prices they outclass the RTX 2060 Super and original RTX 2060, respectively. NVIDIA didn't accommodate prices of its RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070 Super any farther, and we hence have a fair bit of headroom between the RTX 2060 Super and the RTX 2070 Super in which AMD's board partners can launch custom-design RX 5700 XT cards with manufactory-overclocked speeds and other goodies, such equally quieter coolers.

At the middle of the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the 7 nm "Navi 10" silicon with an impressive ten.3 billion transistors crammed into a 251 mm² die. Unlike the "Vega 20", Navi is a more traditional GPU in that the packet merely has the GPU dice and is surrounded past retentivity fries. AMD opted for price-effective 256-flake GDDR6 retention over exotic design choices such as HBM2. At a memory frequency of 14 Gbps, Navi enjoys a healthy memory bandwidth of 448 GB/due south. It also features the latest-generation PCI-Express gen 4.0 x16 host interface with full backwards compatibility for older generations of PCIe, and so you can pair it with AMD's new Ryzen 3000 processors on an X570 chipset motherboard. The buzz-words "seven nm" and "PCIe gen four.0" are extensively used in AMD's marketing, as if to advise that Navi is a generation ahead of NVIDIA's Turing, which is built on 12 nm and has PCIe gen 3.0.

The PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT Crimson Devil features a custom-blueprint, triple-slot cooling solution that features a massive chemical compound aluminium fin-stack heatsink that uses several copper heat pipes which pass through multiple fin stacks ventilated by a trio of fans. This overkill cooling solution non only gives you lot idle fan stop, but also supports the card's increased power limits and factory-overclocked speeds of upward to 1905 MHz heave. Yous also get several features, such every bit Dual BIOS, with i of ii BIOSes activating a "Quiet Mode" that significantly reduces fan noise when gaming, and an accompaniment package that includes an RGB mousepad. All this for a $50 premium over the $400 baseline.
