Are the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT ideal GPUs for your gaming PC?

In the battle of graphics cards, AMD and NVIDIA have been duking it out for space in your custom-built gaming tower. With the release of the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, AMD threw down two solid mid-range offerings showcasing its Navi architecture (now known as Radeon DNA or RDNA). Both 7-nanometer cards feature a minimalist design, a blower-style cooler (using a single fan to pull in air) and 8GB of GDDR6 RAM. Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar gave them scores of 85 and 86 respectively, dinging both slightly for their high temperatures and lack of real-time ray tracing.

If you opted to use one of these GPUs in a recent build we’re interested in hearing what you think: Did you also notice the blowers running hot? Were you able to squeeze some 4K performance out of the 5700 XT? Were there enough inputs for you? Did you feel like you missed out because there’s no real-time ray tracing? We want to hear what worked for you (and what didn’t) in a user review on our Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT product pages. After all, no one knows a product better than the people who own it, right? (Especially gamers who’ve run it through the paces on their favorite graphics-intense PC titles.) Keep your fellow readers well informed, and remember your review could be included in an upcoming user review roundup article!

Note: Comments are off for this post, however, we’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on our Radeon RX 5700XT or RX 5700 product pages!

Grab a Radeon RX 5700 graphics card for just $290 right now

AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 is a great graphics card, if you can’t spend a little extra money for the 5700 XT. The card has dropped to $290 a few times, and now one model from XFX has returned to that price. For comparison, most other RX 5700 cards start at $330.

The model on sale uses AMD’s reference design, meaning there is no factory overclock, no custom cooler, and so on. Don’t worry, though—our review of the reference 5700 found that it still out-performed the RTX 2060 and AMD’s own Vega 64. It’s a great graphics card for 1440p and 1080p gaming, though you may have to turn settings a bit on the latter (at least in super-demanding games) to maintain silky-smooth 60 fps.

The exact hardware specifications include a core clock of 1465 MHz, a boost clock of 1725 MHz, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and 2304 Stream Processors. For video output, you get one HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4.
