Planning to buy RX 5700 XT but...

[KayX291]

I am currently planning to buy a Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse for my PC which has:
 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (Wraith Prism cooler)

ASRock AB350 Pro4 (B350 chipset, updated to P6.00)

2 sticks of HyperX Predator 8GB DDR4 3200 MHz

XFX Black Edition XTR 550W Gold+ Modular

Dual booted (Windows 10 and Linux)

 

Now my question is, will I have any kind of issues on it once i install it in terms of performance, compatibility, temperature etc. especially in other hardware?

 

I am well aware that the upcoming Mesa 19.2 driver library and Linux kernel 5.3 will have a support for this graphics card.

The 5700 XT is a good card performance wise, but in my opinion the drivers needs some work as I have had some issues with it black screening otherwise a really good choice for a graphics card for today

You're fine.

Welcome to the forum.

You won't have any big issues. You might need to give it a month or 2 for better drivers to come out for new games. The 5700 is a new type of card and all these big new cards always have some minor issues in the beginning. 

 

I would buy it.

Interesting...

I have almost the same build (older CPU). But I decided to get the 2070s since it would cost me about the same where I'm from. Plus I won't deal with the horrible AMD drivers.

 

I think the only problem you will have is just that - finding the correct driver for your system. Latest is not always the best. From personal experience I would say the AMD driver are like Windows releases: 1 good, 1 bad.

 

Also, I'm curious: What memory does the card have? I saw that some are with GDDR5 and some with GDDR6.

Thanks for the welcome and some answers. I have another question though and forgot to mention that important piece, will it work on my monitor which is Samsung LT24C300?

 

EDIT: Also do i need to buy a new PSU or is it enough for it? Least according to PSU Calculator, on 24/7 it would use 477W.

What is your psu

Usually the 5700 xt eats way more of your psu compared to something like a rtx 2070/2080 it's a demanding card

Utter nonsense. It uses slightly more than a 2070 Super but not as much as a 2080 Super or ti.

Yeah but still it uses a quite significant amount that's why I'm asking what psu because if he has 400w that's a big no no in this system especially under load

It is mentioned in the 1st post, XFX Black Edition XTR 550W Gold+.

It should work just fine with that monitor, though that monitor is significantly underpowered for the entire rest of the system. It's doubtful that you will ever drop below the maximum refresh rate of the monitor in any game, even if you tried. I'd say that should be your next point of upgrade. 144Hz VA panel or better.

 

That PSU will be enough. My similar system pulls less than 450W from the wall including monitor, all peripherals, and a few LED light strips for nighttime illumination.
