Review: AMD Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT

Cooling is weak, but may have some uses. On other hand, this time around, AIBs will have opportunity to deliver wide range of OC cards. And competing while doing so... better prices, higher performance.

Yeah, since all the mouth-runners are gone before they even had opportunity to touch Navi...
Surely, nobody important who worked on Navi is missing.

But maybe you have list of people and proof of their contribution.

 

2070S now looks overpriced compared to the 5700xt by about £100 as they are going for about £490 and 5700xt at about £390, or so. However we don't know how much aib coolers will add.

I will wait to see how those are priced, plus driver releases, overclocking /bios details and finally price changes from Nvidia side before making a decision.

 

Glad to see that the "double post" infraction rule has been lifted as of this thread... One less thing to worry about...!

 

Thanks for all these reviews lately! I
actually sold my RTX 2080 Ti right before the launch of Navi and RTX Super. Bought it on launch for 1300$ and sold it now for 1000$.

Those dollars just got me an 3800x, 32GB 3200Mhz, ASUS ROG Strix X570-E and an Corsair H115i Pro AIO.

Now I just need a new GPU, and I really like what AMD is doing here. Just have to wait for all the reviews of the AIBs for both RTX 2070 Super and RX 5700 XT before I decide. Would be nice with a full AMD rig.

 

The RTX 2070 Super and RX 5700 XT The DX12: 3DMark Time Spy shows quite a big gap, considering they are quite equal I not understand , can someone explain

 

The way TimeSpy uses the DX12 API favors Nvida. Nothing more to it.

 

haha^....you do realize it's gonna take another $1000 to get 2080ti performance "The King"

but yea....you still done good!

 

You didnt pick up how 5700xt is faster than 2070S in firestrike but only how its slower in timespy?

 

I don't know if i am allowed to share this link
Image sharpening testing

https://hothardware.com/news/amd-radeon-rx-5700-image-sharpening-comparison

 

That's like 10 times better and more accurate than sharpening done by my gaming monitor. It feels like bit of overkill when comparing those 2 images.
But here comes real test:
1080p screen with RIS ON vs 1440p with RIS OFF. Screen next to each other. And see if added details would actually be present on 1440p or even 4K.
Because while those details look like they came from almost nowhere, they came from something...

Is that like 32x AF? or 64x AF? Or high precision downsampling? Either way, I see great potential.

 

Its a night and day difference. It looks like it adds even more detail not only sharpen. Cant wait to see more comparisons.

 

Wow massive improvement. Between this and gaming lag reduction, amd might have a mega gpu on their hands - and this is only mid tier!

 

Impressive, I wonder how much fps hit it will take on RX580

 

It's only available on the 5000 series for whatever reason.

 

Maybe its heavy on the framerate but then again Vega should be capable. 5700 series needs a selling feature so who knows...

 

AMD is clearly changing something in TMUs to achieve this. And it may require more/change cache too to minimize performance impact. (As they stated it costs 1~2% only on 5700.)

 

That I know, but it's gonna be added to other cards too, soon or later.

 

So you excuse a feature lock when it comes to AMD but don't let go when it comes to Nvidia. Good to know.

 

Please elaborate.

 

Nvidia have blurring feature and amd have sharpening. They both have something
