I'm going to assume you already know how a 5700 XT performs. I did not have an issues with the drivers as of this writing. The initial version of this card did have problems, but I got the one with the new copper baseplate, which fixed the issues. This card cools as well as any of the other 2 fan cards (see attached image). It's a good value at it's current price and has a 3 year warranty. Overall, one of the best 5700 XT's you can buy, taking all things into consideration. Just make sure you have room for it. It is a large card. It is thicc enough though that I see very little (if any) sag.

I have run the XFX R9 290 for the past 5+ years and received way more value out of that card than I had expected. It lives on now in a pc for a new gamer, still without any issues. With that experience in mind, I was happy to see a great deal on this card here. This card is a big upgrade in more than just performance. The thing is physically massive, to the point of excess. When I pushed the GPU down to lock it into place into the PCI-E slot, I did not expect the shroud to cover the lock release completely. This has effectively locked the card onto my motherboard. Fortunately, I did not receive a defective card and have not continued to try and take it out without a reason as I am worried that I may damage the motherboard. Let me say that while this card has some pretty rough reviews for its cooler, it can often be found for $50-75 less than the 5700 XT's with "top tier" coolers. That puts it really near the 5700 pricing range. By default, my card runs at 1.2V and sits around 75C (95C Junction) and constantly boosting around 1920-1940mhz under full load. I've found that this card performs better with less voltage. By setting it to 1.1V, it now sits around 75C (94C Junction) with sustained boosting around 1990-2010mhz under full load. You can increase the power limit once you have found the lowest voltage with the best performance as cooling allows.

If you check this card out on line it got a bad rap XFX redesigned the cooler Offered people who already purchased it a fix not many companies would do this I called them personally and they answered the phone and ask them about the cooler and then purchase the cards I'm glad I did fans run about 2000 to 2400 RPMS and stays very cool the edge temperature between 70 and 74 Celsius that junction temperature between 90 and 93 Celsius and I keep my house at 70°which is 23 Celsius I have no complaints The performance at 1440 is excellent
