So people were telling me the 5760 was beating the RTX 27 super. Yeah 1080p sometimes. How is that even relevant at that price point? And who knows why it does very good in just a few of the games? Maybe the CPU is doing more work who knows. at 1440p and 4K and see where the difference is. And don't tell me that all of a sudden 10-25 fps difference is not important. It's always been important. people can't change it just because they're raving over AMD. Especially when you play it 4K 10 frames per second makes a big difference in smoothness.
My rant: And I am just looking at things objectively here from my own perspective.
Anyone who doesn't have an RTX card will never understand how good they are.
The Navi craze is here I understand but the 5700 cards at their price point fall in a weird spot between 1080P and 1440p.
if I want a solid experience at 1440p with some decent 4K results I would definitely go with the 2070 Super hands down even for the extra hundred dollars which really isn't going to be an extra $100 when you factor in the third party Navi cards are going to have extra fans on and probably be more money than MSRP.
Regarding the 5700 at $350 I would personally go with the RTX 2060 super with the extra features. but if I was to get the RX 5700 I would definitely choose that one over the XT version and hope that AMD unlocks the card. I assume that they locked it in the first place because they can't really push much more out of it.
Lastly I wouldn't by either the 5700 or the 5700 XT if I just wanted to do 1080p gaming. $350 is just not worth 1080p gaming.
AMD needs to drop their prices even more. But that's my opinion. Then I might even consider buying one. For now though I'm happy with my RTX cards.
Not sure if I can follow your argument. Wouldn't fan-stop increase the lifespan of any fan?
why would a stopped a fan be a selling point for a video card at this price range? I have rarely had fans fail on me. and with the RTX cards if you overclock them you have to have a minimum fan speed to avoid it overheating and causing anomalies. and there's nothing wrong with that because that's what you would normally do when you overclock. This is been shown time and time again on many tech YouTube sites. The RTX cards are very overclockable but it's always recommended to adjust the fan curve according to how you overclock it. All my RTX cards at idle or about 25c-33c. And if I turn the fan curve down all three of them we'll have no spinning fans at idle when running at stock.
Maybe I'm missing something about the stopped fan issue. If I am I am happy to learn.
I'm glad I never bought a RTX 2xxx card considering they have done this... But at least they have kept the prices the the same as before. If they'd increased them because of them being Super, I think people would have been even more so unhappy...
