Power color Radeon 5700 XT

Alhoule92

I’m starting to build my first gaming pc with about a 800 to 1000 USD budget and I was recommended the powercolor 5700 Radeon  XT. I’ve looked at reviews and it seems like it has a overheating problem. Should i still get it or look at a different graphics card? It will be paring up with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

Powercolor is a brand not a model, be more specific.

 

Where are you buying from? USA?

Never heard such a thing. But those reviewers are just a minority out there that have encountered that problem. The PowerColor RedDevil 5700XT is one the best RX 5700 XT GPU's. Others I recommend the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700XT and Sapphire 5700XT Pulse.

I never knew such a model existed. I recommend these models PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT or Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT or Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT .

I bought this exact card for my VR build and temps max out at 76c under load so not ice cold but not too hot.
