What type of 5600xt should I get?

[Mark_C]

Im on a budget build right now and i found an 5600 xt from sapphire pulse, xfx, gigabyte, and power color. i was wondering what company it would be best to get the card from.

Sapphire Pulse or PowerColor Red Dragon - whichever is cheaper. Both are good. Avoid XFX and Gigabyte models

yeah but the power color isnt red dragon, does that change the response?

Not really - if it's the Red Devil, then that means it's got the upgraded cooler

[Jurrunio]

Which models of these? Brand itself only affect customer service, and honestly no one is better than others

cough* MSI sucks cough*

If you want a long lasting GPU, MSI surely gives you the smallest chances.

PREACH ON BROTHER

Saphire pulse. Cheap and cools well. I even had a good experience with customer service.

But sure PowerColor is equally great. Just dont get ASUS or something like that. You pay for the brand...

Why avoid Gigabyte? Their Gaming OC doesn't seem to be much worse than the Pulse, and XFX doesn't seem that bad too as long the price isn't too high.

Also the cheapest PowerColor is likely their dual fan model with 90mm fans and worse heatsink than the Red Dragon, so it would likely be better to avoid it unless it's much cheaper, it's likely worse than the Gigabyte 5600XT Gaming OC that is the cheapest model on PCPP in the US right now.

I have a sapphire pulse 5700xt and it’s been great. 
 

I’ll never buy an xfx product again after dealing with their customer service with the rx5700 DD Ultra I had. 

[ketchupspill]

i mean if theyre all the same card, and they just come from different brands, pick the one with the best customer service.

yeah i bought an xfx rx 590 and the coolers are crap and that goes for most  of their cards. Some times I would idle at 70 degrees and it was only 4 months old. just never go xfx I learned that the hard way. So I got an evga rtx 2070 super

[Gohardgrandpa]

Evga is awesome customer service wise. I always suggest them for nvidia cards 

[Mark_C]

can we all just agree msi is absolute shit at not only making cards with heat sinks but customer service too.

Truth. But sadly they dont make AMD. But Saphire is the "EVGA of AMD" in my book.

I've used sapphire in the past and that's why I bought the pulse for my 5700xt. They make good stuff

Nitro+? I got that one on a custom block

i know the fat cooler is a bit of a waste but I wanted to have the PCB/ powerdelivery. I can push ~2.15-2.2GHz with RTG more power tool.

Sapphire pulse 5700xt I can run it at 2150mhz and it's stable for hours of gaming

Yeha to be honest the pulse is also fine.
