Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Special Edition

Not really GCN arch is being phased out.

The architecture itself maybe, but performance wise:

101% and its 16GB. Not enough justification for a card that needs washer mods.

Tbf Id Grab a 5600XT/5700 for now and then look at RDNA 2.

I agree overall with you, and for that reason I purchased the Sapphire 5700XT SE. I’m pairing it with the 3950X, so I don’t plan to upgrade for probably 5 years. My FX 8350 is throttling my Vega 64, and it’s becoming increasingly bad.

Have you tried getting that memory to 1600-1866?

I haven't played around with my memory much.

I plan to bench my FX 8350/990 FX, and replace it with an entry x570/3600x paired with the VEGA 64 as a computer for my 7 year old son to play with.

Give him the fx rig

And you can typically find memory timings and volts required to run 1600/1866 on the rams website, thats what I did on my gskill set to get from 2133 to 2400 (anything Higher I need a FSB OC lol 200x25 would be more like 230x12.5 lol)

Too late on the first part I'm wanting to build it with him as well as an introduction to a hobby a picked up many years ago. He may not be interested, but we will see.

I haven't historically played with ram too much expect on vendor cards, the benefits weren't what I was looking for in terms of performance.

It's pretty easy with the Asus boards you and I have, there are secondary timings i adjusted even.

I think it did great in the review, It's got a cooler to handle the extra heat & it just about manages to beat out the 1080ti, The icing on the cake is that here we are a year later & I just managed to get one secondhand for a song, I was going to hold out for a 6800 but instead I'm teaming the Nitro+ SE up with a new 144hz Freesync 2 monitor instead, basically I'm all set for the Christmas lockdown. Keep safe.

Just sold this card for $935 versus $439 MSRP 1 year ago. The market...
