Navi Reviews

Partner boards are due out end of July. They will be the best ones to get tho as they use the AMD reference pcb but with aib cooling. AMD builds its pcb's and vrms really well. Later there will be smaller/shorter pcb made by the partners typically with weaker vrm...

AMD needs to stop with the crappy, loud, hot blower reference coolers already.
 
I hope AMD can appreciate the fact that I just bought the RX 5700XT blower card moments ago, to counteract my desires to buy a well cooled 2070 Super. :lol:

If the card gets too hot I will just get an aftermarket cooler for it. Maybe even a AIO :evil: .

I am fully back in TEAM RED BABY.
 
I will gladly write up an amateur review.

From what I have been reading, the comments about the blower maybe a smidge overblown. Not to mention that Hardware Unboxed just did a great video showing off the card's new sharpness feature that obliterates DLSS. This new feature just plain works and doesn't require anything from developers.

I'll give a real-world layman's description of how I like the card. I think when the AIB's come out, they are going to swing for the fences on prices to probably $450+.

So I got this card now and another $50 to spend after taxes and shipping. So I might pick up a game title or the AV-8B Harrier for DCS World.

I'm wicked excited guys, I haven't picked up a new card since the my 970 came out (except that time I bought the 1080Ti and married it to my Sandy Bridge setup for a week).

Eek. I'd say its a midrange 1440P gaming card. Entry level 4K is a stretch imo.

There's really only one 4K card on the market and it's the 2080TI. Everything else struggles .... hard.
 
If playing ultra sure but high settings lots of cards can do 4k/60 fps on many games.

This is still just a sharpening filter. DLSS can still use and display high resolution textures natively. For example if you use sharpening at at 1440p and the game uses 4k textures, you're going to see more texture detail with 4k DLSS with those 4k textures, especially up close.

It's too bad you didn't get to see Metro Exodus with RTX and 4k DLSS, you might have changed your mind. Hardware Unboxed even stated 4k DLSS looked better than RIS.
 
A sharpening filter that is producing better image results than DLSS without the need of tensor cores and any performance loss.

It's a sharpening filter, same thing you can sharpen your monitor with. Or Reshade. Or Sweetfx. DLSS is something different.

It's also like saying sharpening is better than DSR. You're just sharpening the image. DSR works with an internal higher resolution.

Metro Exodus 4k DLSS is the best example of DLSS so far and produces a much better image than RIS. Because DLSS is used properly in that game. Hardware Unboxed even admitted to this.

It's not the same as pumping up the sharpness on your monitor. That is a far less impressive sharpening filter than what is being implemented by AMD.
 
RIS works well in virtually every game and doesnt need to be implemented by a dev unlike DLSS. Running 1800p and running RIS on a 4k mon with near same image quality gives you ~30% more FPS perf right out of the box.

That makes the 5700 XT a heck of a good buy as an intro 4k gaming card imo.
 
Damn some people are getting 2.3 ghz out of the 5700xt. Its an ocing monster. They UV and then pushed...

They cracked the power tables on the 5700 so it can go past 1850mhz...

Can the boards handle it long term? I saw EK are making a water block - could be fun to play with. I kinda want one.

IMO, that dlss example looks like the result of some bug, that texture isn't fully loaded.

Yeah that 100% looks like a loading error. That aside, it's a welcomed feature and does seem to improve image quality in the videos I've seen. Curious to see it in person for aliasing artifacts or shimmering.


So I had a post deleted and probably rightly so - I was ranting about 5700 locked oc. Not impressed with AMD on that one. That card could've been a sleeper.
 
They've already worked around that 1850 mhz limit on the 5700.

Hitting 2.3 ghz on the XT is a bit extreme but Id have no issues running 1.2 v long term if it gave me 2.1 ghz.

Undervolting and better cooling can get you ~2 ghz easy.
