The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

Blayern · 11 Nov 2019 at 12:49

I run an rx 5700 xt on water and cant get it stable @ 2.1GHz. Every time it hits 21xx MHz it crashes.
I got it running at a stable 2070 - 2090 with an 915Mhz on the VRAM. Core and Memory Hot spots get to low 80s C.

The 80's red and black plastic striping, the 90's fake brushed metal and the 2000's random RBG piece at a guess. That thing is a Frankensteins monster of a card.

There are some really nice looking 5700XT cards from XFX and MSI.

@Kaapstad can you take me off the roll of honour, please. There's no honour in owning this Powercolor Red Devil 5700XT. I've had more communication from dead relatives through a medium than I have gotten from Powercolor. A disgraceful company that is not fit to operate in 2019. Or maybe they prefer communication by carrier pigeon, my bad if so.

I'd have had a better ownership experience if I had just burnt my money to keep my hands warm for a few minutes. I've had no card now for over a month. RDR2 is ruined, God knows when I will be able to play it.

from ocuk? That’s really **********. I was so close to getting one after I read gibbons post when the 290 came out.

Take out your frustration on their Facebook page, they were quick to reply to me full three days before sapphire

Gave me a refund in the end, trouble is I need a new card now, dunno if sapphire nitro + is right choice, should prolly go nvidia and evga but the cost difference is significant. I don't know what to do

I would not be overly concerned with RDR2. Game still broke. Save yourself another headache.

Perhaps I should have made myself clear, it seems as though every forum or YouTube video I read/watch there is a constant mention of driver issues, instability etc.

This is putting me off from ordering the Nitro+ even though it gets high praise. I'm considering a 2070S now and this will be the first Nvidia card I've bought in 15+ years!

I have not really followed the pattern of which AIB causing all the headaches. You just have to avoid those that do. My Navis are trouble free so far but they are reference.

I see many complaints over drivers mainly causing BSODs, black screens during games and the likes. The Nitro+ seems a quality card, but don't want to splash out £400+ to face months of instability.

Have not experienced any of that on both my navis but i do not oc. Just undervolt. Got my first one after a month from launch and i guess was pretty lucky by that time the driver got straightened out.

Also, i do not use DDU, MSI AB or Trixx. Just Wattman and HWINFO64.

I'm very much the same. New hardware = A fresh install of Windows and drivers.

I believe 95% of the issues are created by cheapo power units and splitter cables.

I've not seen a recent driver complaint yet but noticed in the newest driver notes it is a known issue?

Threepwood · 16 Nov 2019 at 17:21

Had a nitro+ for a couple of months now, zero complaint, no problem with drivers... with 3700x... dunno what the fuss is about... I only wish I had of waited for thr nitro+ special edition, and it is cheaper, darn it.

The red devil, nitro + and the gaming x where my three choices. I was dead set on getting the devil but I sent a webnote to confirm if I still have warranty if I remove the cooler, then it was nitro they don’t allow cooler removal so I went with the gaming x. Sure half of one ram chip is not cooled it’s cuased any issues it doesn’t matter as I plan to waterblock.

The 5700xt is not a bad card don’t let Powercolor poor customer service put you off.
