MSi Gaming X 5700 vs 5700 XT for 1440p gaming rig

[natsukirei]

Hey guys

Okay so, the Gaming X MSi's are the most affordable decent 5700's available from my local store, the sapphires are more funnily enough, so im looking to grab one for my Ryzen 5 3600 build and new rig.
 

I plan to game on a 1440P 144hertz monitor, now, i picked this monitor up cheap and i see alot of people complain about gaming at 60 fps on 144hertz, i dont care about that, 60 fps with vsync is what im used to and im happy with that so 60 fps is my goal.
 

5700 699$ AUD
5700 XT 799$
 

699 is pushing my budget, so is 799 but i can do it if its going to be a better choice

but from what ive read, it seems alot of people just picked up the 5700 and OC it to match the 5700 XT and performance is pretty much the same and temps. or would it better just to pony up for the XT and go over budget for future proofing
 

i do like the fact that the 5700 normal would run cooler in australia summers, i could undervolt/downclock and still get decent 1440p performance i hope

 

Also a note, i have a 650W Toughpower Thermaltake PSU in the build, ive already paid for that, but AMD suggest a 750W PSU, so i hope thats enough to run these cards

 

As for games i mostly play

Div 2
Destiny 2
ffxiv
a few single player ones nothing heavy and little indie games

I have a 2080, a card which outperforms the 5700 xt by a solid amount, it does 1440p at around 100-120fps.

 

Also I cannot read your message because of the color you set the font at.

i get this message about my text every time i post, i'm using the default settings from when i signed up? how do i fix this?

That colour is horrible for everyone using dark mode (most of us).
Youtube comparisons put the 5700 at roughly 80-100 FPS at 1440 with a R5 3600, should be fine.

When you write a post, there’s the letter “A” with a bar underneath above where you write your message, it’s not an account setting, it’s an html text setting.

i changed my settings to dark mode to see what you guys see and changed the text color, should be better now

Thank you very much, it’s much easier to read now.

 

back to the topic of what gpu you should get, how comfortable are you with used, nvidia 2080 should easily be in your budget if you look used, and nvidia should be releasing some new cards soon, so the used market is slowly becoming more and more saturated. Or maybe get a next gen nvidia card, will be better for higher resolutions.

He's talking AUD, our used prices are crazy bad, and our dollar is much worse than the US dollar. Not a chance he's getting a 2080.

I prefer new because the store I buy from has a warehouse five minutes from me, so warranty is nice

 

Also what sloth said, AUD prices are insane

Like I said before,
Youtube comparisons put the 5700 at roughly 80-100 FPS at 1440 Ultra in most modern games with a R5 3600, provided you have a reasonably powerful CPU and 16 gigs ram you should be fine.
