I can get a rx 5700 xt and a sapphire pulse 5700 non xt for the same price and i am having trouble choosing between the two Thanks in advance

I am planning an AMD build. I am looking for a mid-range system, built around a Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5700. My budget is around $900 (regional equivalent). I'll be using it for work in Blender 3D (modeling, texturing, animation), Unreal Engine 4, gaming (1080p), video editing, and screen capture. I am not interested in overclocking for the time being. I have some questions: - Contrasting the RX 5700 with the RX 5700 XT, I can see that the XT is the superior card. But where I live, the XT costs 24% more. At that price, it seems like a sub-optimal deal. How much do I miss out by choosing the RX 5700 over the RX 5700 XT? Which one is the better upgrade to the GTX 1060 6GB (my current GPU)? Is there any reason to opt for the Nvidia equivalent (RTX 2060)? - Is the B450 a good motherboard for this system? If not, which one would you recommend? - What kind of RAM is optimal? Is 16GB enough? - Which case and PSU would you recommend, and what are the ideal PSU specs I should be looking for? (I am not interested in RGB, just a stable case with decent cooling) - From what I've seen online, it seems as though the Ryzen 5 3600X is not worth the ~$50 difference over the vanilla 3600. Is it? Tech Deals crowned the 3600X as the "New King", presumably dethroning the i7 9700K. So I can't be too sure if the X is not worth it. This is the cost of the components so far (converted to US Dollars for convenience) - Ryzen 5 3600 -- $239.87 - MSI Radeon RX 5700 -- $430.54 - Ryzen 5 3600X -- $299.65 - Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT -- $536.56 Finally, is there a reason to wait? Is there a reason to believe there will be a price drop within the next month or two, and, conversely, is there a reason to believe that demand will eventually inflate the prices (like it happened with Pascal architecture and Intel's chips two years ago)?

im calling it. the rx 5700 is gonna be 7nm gddr6 oc rx 580 same thing like what they did with radeon vii

Hello all, I've been itching to buy a tower for a while now (been living on laptops for a decade) and decided I'm gonna go for it this time. I'd like your opinions and advice considering the build bellow. My main questions are: * Will the CPU keep up with GPU? * Can I downgrade the MOBO to last gen and still get the most out of the GPU? ( Does GPU actually use the bandwith of PCIe 4?) Thanks! Kind regards Xuseen

Hi All, I've been gaming on a 1050 2gb and I5 7400 for a couple years now and feel that its about darned time for a new build. I live in Canada, and wanted to purchase most of my hardware from either Amazon.ca, or Bestbuy, or newegg. I put together a list of what im interested in building with, but have never pieced together a full system so i'm not exactly sure what is compatible, or if there are better options out there for the same price. I'm hoping to keep the build below 1,300 CAD before shipping and tax. Would like to see at least 1080p gaming in most titles with 60+ fps. I also do a bit of 4k editing, but its not a huge concern for me, the main purpose is for gaming (ie: GRW Breakpoint, Doom, FC 5, Just Cause, Assassins Creed, etc). 1. Ryzen 5 3600 2. Radeon RX 5700 3. Asus Prime X-570 P 4. 16 GB Vengeance 3000mhz 5. EVGA 650 W 6. CoolerMaster MB520 7. HDD (from my old computer, im not really interested in upgrading to a ssd at this time) 8. Have not decided on a screen yet. At this time the build will cost 1,278.71 CAD before shipping and tax. Is this a good idea to proceed with the build? Will all of the hardware be compatible? Or are there better options to go with that may not cost as much? In the past I have only swapped some ram, and a PSU on a computer so this will be my first full build. I've watched a lot of LTT videos on building computers and feel as if I have enough information to build it properly, so all I need is some technical assistance in finding the right parts. Cheers!

I've been having issues with my XFX Rx 580 8 GB GTS card. I've already RMA'd it and it seems to be the card cause I can take a Sapphire Rx 580 from another system and not have the issue. I was thinking of gettng a RX 5700 non-XT but I'm not sure if I should get the MSI Gaming or one of PowerColor's. They go best with the build I already have if you go by color aesthetics. Any suggestion why to go with one over another

I am a total noob when it comes to this. Beware. (also, Im not sure if I should post here or in watercooling, so I will do both) Im wanting to build an ITX desktop using a RX 5700 GPU. Im worried that the small fan will be noisy. I mainly do productivity, but also enjoy playing games like Rocket League and Space engineers, so nothing too heavy on the card. If I was to water cool the GPU with a single 120mm radiator with a single Noctua fan, would I be okay? Once again, Im a total noob, go easy on me :)

As I wrote in another thread, I have RX 5700 from Gigabyte for several days. From the very beginning there were problems with the artifacts, but can anyone explain why the artifacts do not appear when loading only the GPU? * 25 minutes OCCT 3D GPU Burner / FurMark - no problems, * CPU Burner on - after 30 sec artefacts as in the pictures, the pattern is always the same. In CS:GO similar, but after a longer time ~5-10 min of gaming. Below photo with long exposure + video. VID_20191020.mp4

So I upgraded my pc today from an i5 6500 and a R9 380X to an Ryzen 5 3600 and a Rx 5700. The pc is booting in to Windows but when i try to install the Driver for the Card the pc will just crash when the installer starts looking for the device. It does show up in the System-Manager but not as a Graphic Card but (i think that it is the Card) as a PCIe device. l searched for the problem but i didn't really found anything. So I thought I might try it here. Any ideas what i could try? Update: So I run ddu and after running it when I tried to install the Drivers again it still crashed. So I guess I will try the Windows reinstall next.

I recently upgraded from my good 'ol 970 to a brand new RX 5700, but whenever I connect my 1440p display via displayport the top part starts flickering like crazy (when connected via HDMI it works fine). I've tried the same cable and the same port with my 970 and it works fine. The weird part is that my second monitor is connected via displayport and it works fine, tried swapping the cables but the result is the same. One works and the other one doesn't. Could this be some weird software glitch or should I send the card back because it may be a hardware defect? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKYqeJpDWIo&feature=youtu.be Here you can see the visual garbage. Thank you for your time, have a lovely day, fellas!

I'm on a budget and I don't know which GPU to pair with my CPU. I'm looking to get the most fps I possibly can on modern titles . I saw a strange benchmark where the 1660 Ti was giving me more fps with the Ryzen 5 1600 than the RX 5700 with the Ryzen 5 1600. I know fps varies when it comes to Nvidia vs AMD and resolution etc. I know there's no way to really avoid bottlenecking but i'm looking for the least bottlenecked option. When it comes to Shadow of the tomb raider (2018) Ultra Graphics 1920x1080 , It says I'm getting 77.4 fps with the RX 5700 with the Ryzen 5 1600 While I'm getting more fps 79.8 fps with the Gtx 1660 Ti ? Is there something I don't understand ? I'm very confused I can get the RX 5700 and Ryzen 5 1600 for the same price as the Gtx 1660 Ti with an i5 9400f In my country !!! I know the i5 9400f will give me slightly better fps boost than the Ryzen 5 1600 What should I do???? https://www.gpucheck.com/gpu/amd-radeon-rx-5700/amd-ryzen-5-1600/

hii just build my new setup and my monitor's screen suddenly tun off says no signal. checked the power option in windows nothing changed. its happening mostly while playing games. i am using the dp cable.AMD driver version :- 20.1.3pc specs.:-CPU:- R5 3600GPU:- MSI RX 5700 MECH EDITIONRAM:- G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZRX (16gb) (3200mhz overclocked)SSD:- Adata XPG Gammix S11 Pro 256GBPSU:- ANTEC NEO ECO MODULAR 650 WATT 80+ BRONZEMONITOR :- ACER NITRO XV272U

Okay so I am looking for an upgrade for my RX 570 4gb and I was looking at the 1660 Super and RX 5700 but I don't really want to spend the price to get a 5700. Would a 1070Ti be a good card for a few years even if bought now in 2019? I using a 1080p display at 60hz. Also long term which would be better. I know the 1070Ti has more VRAM but it is older and I would think the others should be supported for longer. The 1660 Super I am looking at is around $229.99, the 5700 is around $299.99, and the 1070 Ti is somewhere in the ballpark of $220-250.

I'm thinking about getting a new PC build and I wanted to ask you guys which graphics card should I get. I'm planning on getting a Ryzen 5 3600 as well. I've seen some benchmarks and the RX seems to have higher FPS (not many more tbh) and I wonder if Ray Tracing is really worth it.

This is a long one but any help is greatly appreciated. So my pc started crashing last night while gaming. I have 1 month old Rx5700 gaming oc and the rest of my build is 2.5 years old. I reinstalled windows 10 in late december around 28th or so. Installed new drivers for parts and had no major problems while gaming. Last night in a match of csgo my pc froze completely and I had to restart it. Thought it was nothing major so I started it back up and continued the match. Well my pc crashed 5 more times in a span of 10minutes and at the end I didn't get any kind of output since my rx5700 drivers were either uninstalled or damaged. Installed older ones and tried to game today. Still same problem. Pc crashes pretty much immediately in game and if it doesn't completely crash it makes my pc really slow and my pc refuses to open up anything. I have my system on samsung 970 evo. All of my parts and cables are connected properly. Double checked most of them. What could be the cause and what should I do? Thanks for anyone who can help me out.

Do the Z390 chipset and motherboards support PCI Express 4.0? If they don't, then building a rig with RX 5700 will be a waste of the graphics board's power, it will be under-utilized.

Goodmorning guys, I'm not completely sure where to put my question so if the topic is in the wrong section my apologies. Since the release of the RX 5700 I've been interested in purchasing one. Currently running a RX 570 MSI 8GB and my current PSU is a Cooler Master MWE 450W Bronze. If I calculate the wattage with pcpartpicker it does say the PSU would be enough and I wouldn't run into problems however I wanted to ask you guys as a second opinion. What are your thoughts on this combination? Do I need to upgrade my PSU? Kind regards, Total PC specs: - Asrock B450M Pro4 - Ryzen 5 2600 - G.Skill Aegis 2x8GB - RX 570 8GB - Cooler Master MWE 450w Bronze - 2x Sata SSD

PLS HELP :))

Wow, I just bought a Rx 5700 a month ago It cost me around 450$ and you want to tell me that I don't get DirectX 12_2 Features? not to mention Nvidia is going released turning updates!!! Microsoft Adds DirectX 12 Feature-level 12_2, and Turing, Ampere and RDNA2 Support it I am so disappointed from AMD RED TEAM... You guys screwing us again and again, and for what, for money? You developed RDNA1 With Xbox and PS5 and left Ray Tracing out So that you could charge us again after 1 year on gen2!! at least learn from Nvidia if u want consumer to pay prices that high out of respect for your business give us support for two years for New Features like "Hardware Scheduling Ray Tracing and Direct12_x" !!! You are the One's that killing the Pc Hardware Industry and gaming Industry and I am in my late 30's... It is a shame that every time the community needs to get evolve and beg for updates... I will give you a reminder next year is 2021 and new player comes to town and it's name is "Intel". The way it looks right now even RDNA2 will fall behind Nvidia and Intel in 2021!!! https://www.guru3d.com/news_story/microsoft_adds_directx_12_feature_level_12_2and_turingampere_and_rdna2_support_it.html

I got a Deal for Acer Predator XB270HU for Half the price but I wondering if it would benefit me as I'm gonna use AMD RX 5700 (Flash with RX 5700 XT Bios). I know that this monitor has G-Sync but is there any difference if i use G-sync or Free-sync with AMD graphic Card?

Hello there! I would like some advice about an upgrade I'm going to do soon. I mainly use my PC for gaming. TL;DR - Any feedback on my current upgrade plans? I am upgrading from: i5-4590 GTX 970 2x4 GB RAM MSI H97 PC Mate To: Ryzen 5 3600 MSI RX 5700 MECH GP OC (possibly another brand) 2x8 GB RAM (Not sure which DIMMs yet tho) ASRock B450M Steel Legend Stuff I'll keep: 1 TB HDD 250 & 120 GB SSD's Hyper 212 EVO (Black) NZXT S340 Corsair CS550M PSU 2x Corsair AF120 fans + 2 stock case fans Asus VG248QE Monitor (1080p & 144Hz) Oculus Rift S I hope to play: Alyx, RDR2 & Cyberpunk 2077 (and some other games but I'm quite sure I can run them) More info & further questions I've been wanting to upgrade for a while now, but I held off. First because I wanted to focus on my studies, second because I hoped there would be some new stuff once my first year was done, and finally because of the whole COVID thing. Unfortunately there have been no new CPUs or GPUs released while I was patiently waiting to upgrade, but I'm done waiting and have decided to upgrade nonetheless. I know it's not the best time and I will not have ray-tracing and DLSS, but I can live with that. So I put together the above mentioned parts to upgrade my PC. I do still have a bunch of questions though. I should mention that I live in The Netherlands, so prices are probably very different from other parts of the world. I will leave some links below where you can see the price in my area for parts, if you want to recommend different ones. The questions: GPU I picked the MSI MECH GP OC because it's one of the cheapest RX 5700's in my area, and it's also black-white (I know...) I'm hoping to be able to flash the XT bios to it, but I find it hard to predict how the temps and noise will be impacted. Other cheap cards in my area are the ASRock Challenger and the ASUS Dual EVO. Of course I'm willing to sacrifice my coherent colour scheme if any of these cards is better, so should I? Mobo For the motherboard I chose mATX B450 because I don't really need the extra features of other chipsets and ATX, and it's just cheaper. I did want a decent one though, so at first I settled on the ASRock B450M Pro4. Then I noticed that for only €10 more I could get the Steel Legend. Now I don't really care about the RGB (especially since I heard the software is rubbish), but overall it seemed like a better board and worth the extra money. Also, it has 5x4 pins fan headers, instead of 3 for the Pro4. Now I'm not sure if that even matters, as I still have 2 stock fans which are 3 pins. But I might switch those fans out in the future anyway. So my questions here is: is it worth the extra money? RAM I decided on 2x8 GB 3200 MT/s CL16 RAM, as that's a pretty good speed with Ryzen (I think) for a very affordable price. However, none of the modules with those specs that are affordable in my area are on the QVL's of the Mobo's I mentioned here above. I know that doesn't mean they won't work at all, but should I take the risk? My choice is one of the following: HyperX (HX432C16FB3K2/16) These are the cheapest and I think they look pretty cool, so these have my preference. Corsair (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 or CMK16GX4M2D3200C16) Reviews say these don't always play nice on B450 G.Skill (F4-3200C16D-16GVGB or F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) Any other feedback is always appreciated of course Part Prices - My budget for this upgrade is around €700 RAM GPU Mobo Other (Price comparison site) And then there's the CPU of course, but I'm pretty much definite that I want the R5 3600. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I manually undervolted to have a cooler experience, can you tell me if this is going to be stable or if I should bump the voltage a bit more? I played rdr2 max settings for around 20 mins and it was stable, and had cooler temps (80 tj) so idk I've never undervolted before, also would you suggest downclocking just a bit for even lower temps? I'm gaming in 1080p so I think ill be good, are there any dangers in downclocking too much? As in stability wise, anyway thanks in advance.

Hello all, I recently built a fairly high specification Win10 desktop PC to handle certain tasks such as radiation transport modeling and video rendering. Unfortunately, it has been extremely unstable, exhibiting numerous crashes, BSoDs, and subsequent refusals to boot Windows. I'd be very interested if other people using similar hardware have had similar problems, or if any super-sleuths can look at the attachments and point me in the direction of a fix. The oddest thing about my problem seems to be its correlation with lightly-loaded operation; it runs just fine under moderate to heavy CPU / GPU loads, but is really unhappy with unloaded operation. One naive guess is that there may be a voltage regulation issue on the mainboard. Anyway, I am open to suggestions and further questions and I hope to get this PC in better health. Pointers toward differentiating the diagnosis between mainboard, CPU, memory, and GPU would be particularly helpful! The PC will run fine IF the CPU is heavily loaded. My usual workload on this machine in its short and tumultuous life has involved parallel MCNP simulations that run for a week or so and keep the processor running at ~90% load with 24 threads. It just runs and the CPU temps hover near 73 deg. C. HOWEVER: if it's unloaded, it is highly liable to throw display driver resets and BSoDs. This build really seems to hate AMD graphics cards, throwing regular GPU driver restart errors with both the R9 390X (a fairly old card) and an RX 5700 (new) using the most recent graphics drivers from AMD. A frequent occurrence are LiveKernelEvent errors referencing LKD_0x141_Tdr:6_IMAGE_amdkmdag.sys and LKD_0x117_Tdr:9_IMAGE_atikmpag.sys. Runs Furmark without problems so far. Again, the machine is most error-prone when it is just idling! Currently running with the memory D.O.C.P. profile enabled, but it's hard to tell if this makes any difference in the bad behavior (have tried with this on and off). Memtest runs 4+ passes with 0 errors on the currently installed DIMMs I have swapped the OS SSD with another of the same model and this did not fix the issue No history of overclocking (with exception of D.O.C.P.)
