AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 Review: Navi Graphics Tested

[Julio Franco]

AMD's brand new Navi 7nm GPUs are significantly smaller than previous Vega 56 and 64 parts, packing fewer transistors on a much smaller package, so we expect them to be efficient. The Radeon RX 5700 and XT GPUs have also been purposely built for gaming and are set to compete directly against GeForce RTX Super cards.

Great analysis, I do hope Amd will relese higher end navi cards as some leaked linux drivers suggested.

Now this is what I´m talking about. To me this launch is miles ahead of Ryzen 3000. These GPUs are really good for the price with the 5700XT even doing almost as good as 1080ti/Vega VII on a lot of games while using way less power. A 5700XT for 400€ is a good buy imo and completly makes the Nvidia competing offers irrelevant unless you want the Nvenc codec (I see few people metioning this, wich imo is one of the best selling points on RTX series).

I just think 5700 should be priced a bit lower, because it is too close to the 5700XT to justify the 50€/70€ saving.

Great GPUs, AMD finally nailed it on the power consumption too.

... when cheap Navi Cards? ~100~200$

 

[Nobina]

The RX 5700 looks great, has pretty much the same performance as RTX 2060 Super while being cheaper and less power hungry.

 

[Bumborafr]

As it is RX 5700 is 54% faster then RX 590 while they have the same number of CU and SP. It would be interesting to see the comparison of RX 590 and RX 5700 at the same clock.

Wow the 5700/5700XT have better efficiency than I expected. Mighy as well couple the 3900X with my 2080Ti for my primary PC and 8700K with 5700XT for my secondary PC.

 

[Impudicus]

I wonder if these cards perform any differently when matched with a x570 board, new 3000 CPU's, and faster RAM? I know Ryzen likes fast RAM so much.

Interesting that they decided to remove the outlier Forza, but not the outlier Fortnite. Clearly there are some driver issues with Fortnite, as some reviewers were experiencing FPS lows in the single digit mark, and didn't end up including Fortnite in their reviews.

Can I suggest highlighting the GPU's and CPU's in your charts to make them easier to find in each chart. Thank you.

FYI, we have added 4K benchmark graphs to all game tests this morning

These aren't 4K cards though. Where are the 1080p results?

I hope AMD can get some AIB agreements in place because these cards could really benefit from some beefier and quieter cooling solutions.

To me it looks like Raja was a dead weight on AMD. Catching up in performance and wattage at once is not something I thought they could do.

It will be interesting to see after-market designs with that OC headroom.

I know I'm gonna sound like a D for saying this, but:

Why are the 1080p results on a different site and not here?
Why is the TechSpot review not cut into segments instead of being one long page?
Why are the new AMD cards highlighted on only some of the charts on the Patreon site, and not at all here?
Why do the charts on the Patreon page you linked load like I'm on dial up?
Where are the charts with the overclocked results mixed in with other cards?
When will you start giving us frame time results?

It's like you guys are moving backwards, or not moving at all.

DEAD WEIGHT?
hes pinnacle in the transition for AMD to this stage, responsible for Apples Retina displays and hes so good INTEL poached him... anyways.. Intel has him and Jim Keller from AMD and they have 4500 people in their Visual group working on Intels new future Graphics chips - more competition

ehi, Keep the long pages please. They are much better than 1/2/3/4/5/etc pages. Save me from clicking . There isnt really a necessity to put pages, if you can organize the text with titles etc.

Raja has nothing to do with the Retina displays themselves, he just helped program the graphics drivers. Raja lead the Vega team, while another internal AMD team did polaris and Navi. It's easy to see which team did a better job. Mind you, the leader isn't the only important part of the team. AMD has many engineers aside from Raja that do a lot of the work. Intel poaching Raja and Keller say nothing on their own if the team isn't able to execute.

New AMD cards just show me Nvidia's tech is light years ahead. I don't say AMD cards perform badly or they are inefficient ( they have a good price/performance ratio) BUT imagine Nvidia's upcoming 7nm tech now...

I cant believe how close this is to my Radeon VII..… if I wasn't a 4K gamer I would be pissed but 8GB of memory isn't enough for 4K and my card is running at 1000mV 1850Mhz Core 1100 Memory and is whisper quiet so I'm not that bothered but still I paid £680 for is in March, that RX 5700 XT is almost half price...….

 

[darkzelda]

Great review, thanks for the good work. It seems to me that my next build is going to be entirely an AMD build.

 

[Sealgair]

I just bought Radeon VII 3days ago....for 800 USD (I lieve in Japan) and 5700XT is selling for 500USD...
and I don't even play 4K!! I only use 1440p monitor, so basically I paid 300USD more for tip of a FPS and 3D designs that I will never do...

Why didn't I wait for couple of more days...I honestly though 5700XT wouldn't be this close. I mean good for AMD! yay...

Edit: Forgot to mention, good review, thank you for your hard work!

 

[144hzGamer]

Good cards, but am I the only one a bit worried about prices on mid range cards? Still cheaper than nvidia offerings, but 450€ for a GPU is still hard to justify for me. I usually always got the 200€-250€ GPUs and right now the options on that range are gtx1660 and gtx1660 ti.

If you can return the card and you don't think you need the extra vram that might be worth considering.
