ASUS Radeon RX 5700 XT

With the exception of maybe the reference design that is pretty much end-of-life, the ASUS RX 5700 XT TUF EVO is the most affordable RX 5700 XT in the ASUS lineup. The original TUF without the "EVO" was released shortly after the RX 5700 XT launch in August 2019. Initial reviews were not favorable, with reviewers mostly complaining about high memory temperatures and other sub-optimal design choices in the cooler's engineering.

Die RX 5700 XT bietet im Vergleich zur RX 5600 XT eine um bis zu 23% gesteigerte Leistung und ist somit perfekt für das Zocken in 1.440p Auflösung mit hohen Details geeignet. Das Custom-Design von ASUS bietet einen leistungsstarken Kühler, einen lautlosen Modus für geringe Last und eine insgesamt angenehme Geräuschkulisse – auch unter Last.

Insgesamt konnte uns die ASUS DUAL RX 5700XT OC EVO überzeugen. Besonders gefallen haben das Design und Kühlleistung. Vorteilhaft ist, dass die Backplate den Grafikkartenspeicher kühlt. Allerdings konnte uns die Lautstärke nicht überzeugen. Der aufgerufene Preis von 380€ ist in unseren Augen mehr als überzeugend und somit können wir der DUAL RX 5700XT OC EVO eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen.

If you like to save a few tenners over the more expensive STRIX models, we can undoubtedly recommend the dual EVO. We doubt you'd notice a performance difference. And other than that it's a solid performing product that runs at pleasant temperatures and only has a slightly higher acoustic eleven compared to the premium products. The advantage here is that the card sticks at the official MSRP, which still a lot of money of course. Should you buy a 5700 XT right now? Well, that is difficult to answer, yes NVIDIA will release their Ampere GPUs soon, but they'll start with the expensive high-end products. The roadmap for AMD isn't any different; we expect Big NAVI to be a premium card at a high cost. The card comes with good looks and not soo much flashy RGB, we see a nice metal backplate, and yeah, this was a regular performing 5700 XT card. There is a bit of tweaking left, you can gain another ~5% extra performance out of the card. If you need a new GPU right now, we can recommend it. However, common sense would be to see how things develop GPU wise in the coming months. But hardware and design-wise, hey a thumb up, this is fine.

The ASUS Radeon RX 5700 XT STRIX OC is the first custom-design Navi card we're reviewing. It comes with a completely reworked PCB design, better cooler and is overclocked out of the box. Thanks to the factory overclock, the card achieves a 5% performance improvement over the AMD reference design, which is quite solid and helps make up ground against the Radeon VII and RTX 2070 Super. The former is 3% faster and the latter 6% ahead.
