Customers value the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT RAW II 8GB GDDR6 graphics card for its excellent performance and competitive price, frequently citing high frame rates in popular games. However, some users report issues with high temperatures, noisy fans, and occasional driver problems. The size of the card and software experience were also mentioned as potential drawbacks by some customers.
Great card, bought this a bit over a year ago and it’s still going as strong as ever. 1440p games run at 60fps easily aside from not so great optimized games like cyberjunk. The recent updates to the Radeon software used to control everything about this card is why I’m writing this review I feel it’s finally made the card something recommendable. With the right voltage and frequencies this thing runs at a more respectable temperature than out of the box whilst being overclocked, and the newly added stress test feature will help you to find what gets you the most out of your card, Wish they had that when I was first setting mine up. If you want it to run cool and quiet you can set it to easily, if you want to eek out every ounce of performance you can do that too (there’s a lot of room for overclocking it I might add) The card is definitely massive but whether you like how it looks or not is obviously a person by person basis, do know it’s great if you want to have something sitting on top of it like a figure. There can be some moderate sagging as it is so big and it did concern me a bit in the beginning but now that it’s been almost a year I don’t lose sleep over it as everything’s still perfectly fine (I need to upgrade my motherboard anyways) All in all with how customizable everything about how it runs and the amount of ports it has I think it’s truly great for anybody looking for a decent card. Granted I picked it up for 379.99 so I’d understand some moderate frustration if you were paying over 600 for it. So take a lot of the reviews with a grain of salt, they probably paid a hefty price for it while a lot of its drivers and software weren’t really too great yet. Nowadays though if you see this thicc boy at a decent price I couldn’t recommend it more.

I got this card to replace a 1650. Clearly this was a better fit for my new build using Ryzen 3700x. The card is a monster in thickness and sags slightly. (I used a small GPU brace to prevent this.) After playing around benchmarking and some games, it's impressive but loud. The comments regarding driver issues, black screens, hot junction temps - all true. Any time I overclock this even if it's 1%, it WILL crash my system at some point. Seems to have a lot of issues changing from one game to another or from gaming back to windows. So leave the card alone! Don't OC. ***The best experience for me? Leave the Radeon settings at standard for the least bugs and absolutely bump up the fan curve. It's made a world of difference. As has adding a small fan to focus on the junction point (ugly but effective). Keeping it cooler will prove vital to your sanity.*** FPS: 145fps in Apex at high/max settings, >200 in Fortnite and well over 100 in CoD.

You honestly can not beat this for the price. And depending on how you look at it you cant beat it at all. You can spend $400 on this card or $700 on a 2080 Super, and for the extra $300 you will only get about a 10% boost in performance. Is 10% really worth $300? NOT TO ME! I play all my games at 1440p high settings. Apex legends sits at 140-144fps. Fortnite steady at atleast 120fps, Doom Eternal sees atleast 90-100fps all the time and this is with a ryzen 7 3700x. Highly recommend this product! Just wish it wasnt so big and had a better design. But the massive heatsink keeps it nice and cool so cant complain too much.
