PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB AXRX 5700XT 8GBD6-3DHE/OC

Let me start by saying this do not pay attention to people saying that the card has problems with the drivers, before I bought this card I read a ton of reviews here saying that the drivers were unstable and the card crashed and a lot of bad things and I said well lets take that risk, and boy it was worth it. This card is a monster literally it will crush every game you throw at it, I haven't tested the card to it's full potential but I've been playing Assassins Creed Syndicate, World War Z, Fortnite and Watch Dogs in 1080p 60ghz everything ultra details witch is like a walk in the park for this card, always pushing past 100 fps.I installed my last drivers and I had no problems, the only thing I can say about this card is that it is powerful man. I upgraded from a RX 580 8GB and I can feel the difference.Physically this card is so big and it looks aggressive, I feel like if I throw it at somebody I might cause serious injuries you can use this thing as a weapon. It has RGB lights and those are bright, look really nice. The backplate is awesome it has a bull craved on it and it lights up, also the back ports are lit in red. There is a software Powercolor devilzone that let's you configure the lightning of the card, you can configure the lights to do all sorts of things like pulse, flash, blink but the coolest in my opinion is smart, this lightning mode varies it's intensity depending on the load or temperature of your CPU or GPU. You get 1 hdmi port and 3 DP.This card has a switch that let's you configure the card in two modes: overclocking and silent, of course I have mine in overclocking.Also the card makes no noise and it runs cool the most hot it gets is 70c under load.I'll continue to update this review as time passes and I have the chance to push this bad boy to it's limit to see how much performance I can get out of it. I'll buy a 1440p monitor soon and then I'll be able to test 1440p resolution and see if I can play everything on ultra and keep at least 60 fps.Prosperformanceoverclocking/silent switchRGB Lightsruns coolMy PCAMD Ryzen 7 1700 3.0 mhz (overclocked to 3.7 mhz) stock cooler.(want to upgrade to a Ryzen 9 3900x).Asus Rog Strix 450-f Gaming motherboard32GB corsair vengeance lpxSamsung 970 pro ssd 512GBNZXT 510 case750w modular power supplyPowercolor RX 5700 XT 8GBwindows 10Update 5 month later:Amazing card, I play resident evil 3 this is 2020 game and the graphics are something like you've never seen before in 1080p 60fps everything in ultra this games pushes the card to 100% 😧 this game is really demanding and it looks like a movie, I think this is the most demanding game I've ever played AAA Game.I also play Detroit become human everything ultra, graphics on this game are incredible.I dont think there is a game I can't play on ultra 1080 60fps. If a games comes out that I can't play I'll let you know but until 2023 or 2024 maybe there will be one.If I could buy the ryzen 9 3900x CPU that I want I would have a monster PC, I thing I have a bottleneck on my CPU but I can't afford the ryzen 9 beast.

my current system is AMD Ryzen 3900X with Asus crosshair VI hero MB. I have the older VI hero as the system was originally built with a Ryzen 1800X. I have 32gb of corsair dominator 3200 ddr3 ram.I had 2 290X MSI cards in crossfire from my original AMD system that was built in 2013. these cards performed well for many years. I upgraded to the power color 5700XT as the 290X cards were 7yrs old and I could use more video 3d power. I was close to going with an Nvidia 2070 or 2080 but I wanted to support AMD as they have really turned the company around from the bulldozer type cpu 8150/8350 as that was my original system. I currently am running the corsair 1200AX power supply in a Obsidian 800D case. this makes space not an issue as this 5700XT is a large card. gaming performance I was able to turn everything on max detail on Dues Ex mankind dived and not only did the game run exceptionally well and frames looked amazing. I could visually see the difference in drawings and shadows. the noise level computer is way more silent and cooler. I saw some reviews where drivers were an issue. I just got the card on the 7th of july and using latest drivers from AMD. they installed without issue. I played 9 games for over 30 mins each without game crash or artifacts showing. my last Nvidia card was a 7800GTX SLI I have been using AMD GPU from 6970's X2 thee 290X X2 this is my 1st single GPU setup in a long time and I was shocked by how much faster a single 5700XT was then 2 290 cards. not only faster but visually better looking as well.

The first thing I want to mention is the look of this card. It is absolutely stunning! Something you need to keep in mind is the fact that, in online pictures and videos, the card looks like it has a dark and light grey colour scheme. However, in person, it actually has a black and dark grey colour scheme. In my opinion, pictures and videos of this card simply don't do it justice. It is a stunning and stealthy card that has quite the presence about it. If you are concerned that this card has a 'plastic' look to it, don't worry, in person it looks more like metal and immediately gives you the impression of quality. The RGB is a great touch and brings a lot of extra style to this card. The LED's are a very nice brightness and their colour accuracy is spot on. One thing I will make note of are the RGB animations. Some of these animations are not quite as smooth as they could be, however, I think this might be a software issue and will possibly get smoother out in the future.Performance is phenomenal! I can throw any triple-A title at it and it remains cool and virtually silent, all the while cranking out frames like nobody's business. I won't say too much more about performance as you can find many tech YouTubers who will give you all the stats and graphs you will need. I will say, however, that coming from a laptop that would practically have a stroke if I opened anything beyond MS Paint, the 5700 XT Red Devil is an amazing experience and has been well worth every cent.I also want to make a quick note of PowerColor. You see, because of the high demand for these cards, as well as other circumstances, PowerColor was not able to keep up with all of the orders being place (particularly in the US). So, like many others, I had to wait over a month to get my card. However, during this time I came in contact with three PowerColor representatives (one on Twitter, one on Reddit, and one via email), and they were all fantastic with keeping myself and the whole community (especially those on Reddit) up to date and informed about the situation. I'm going to be honest here, I had several opportunities to order a few different 5700 XT's and have them at my front door within a couple of days, all the while I waited for the Red Devil with no word. But it was because of the openness, honesty, and sincerity of PowerColor and its representatives that I stuck with my order and waited it out. One thing is for sure, PowerColor has made me a very loyal customer.
