How much cheaper is a non XT card?

Because you can always overclock it or flash the XT bios onto it for like 90-95% the same performance.

Under the same logic. Why not just suggest the V56?

The Gigabyte Gaming OC is a good pick, if you need to cheap up and don't mind the extra noise the reference does work.

They are all within spec for the reference card, if your case has good airflow and ambient temperatures aren't very high you should be fine.

I have been considering the same thing... I have a pretty big case without much impeding airflow and I really do dig how the XT reference card looks

There's no real drawbacks performance wise, the only thing you're missing out is the more silent operation for the most part:

The top of the chart is a manually overclocked high end expensive aftermarket card, the bottom you have the reference card running stock.

 

That's 4 frames per second of difference... literally nothing any one should lose their sleep over.

 

So like stated where does it matter paying for the premium cards? on operation volume at full load:

As you can see the reference is indeed the loudest but if noise is not an issue because you only game with headphones, by all means do consider it.

the fps isn't the problem, its not like after market will put some kind of magic in performance even noise isn't a big issue since you wont be always playing games but the temperature is what i'm most concerned about. since gamer nexus showed how hot reference cards run. its really scary. you cant risk your card failing because of temps and with time this problem is going to be worse.

You can improve the blower cooler a bit

 

The card won't fail because of the reference cooler, otherwise they'd make something a bit better.

If Vega if like half the price for the RX 5700 it might be worth it actually...

Its worth flashing the Bios, and/or powerplay table overclocking it to the limit? Unless you know what you are doing and is very willing to go through the effort, its not something to suggest to builders.

 

Same applies to people buying Navi GPUs.
