So Brand New, the XFX RADEON VII on amazon is only $500, and it in most uses performs on par or better than the 5700xt, especially with the new drivers that aren't complete garbage, and with that 16gb of ram, what do you guys think about it? Worth it or Not?

Worth it for some, but FineWine™ won't work on the VII since it's already being killed, and power draw is pretty thicc

Wasn't there an issue with the cooler on this card having poor contact with the chip/vrms?  Even if there wasn't, I wouldn't buy this over a 5700xt which in the USA is around 400-450.

I think it was just not the most effect, because it wasnt like defective but not the best, and also I think the money is worth it because, the VII can almost always out performs the 5700xt with the new drivers and such, or so Ive been told, I did post this because I think my friends bought one for me for Christmas.
