Ah, man just in time. This review is Thicc as Nicky Minaj's retirement announcement.

Seems like a decent option if you intend to OC without liquid cooling. Otherwise, I'd rather opt for something thinner.

Yeah, I've been on the fence between this and a 2070 Super. I had hoped this big cooler would keep the noise and temperatures under control. I'm disappointed to see it's as noisy as it is.

So... 3 slots cooler more expensive than reference (I assume) louder than reference What a disaster. Why would anyone buy it?

Load temps lower Factory overclock Better built PCB(while AMD builds their reference PCB very well, this has a better VRM And better chokes) Better cooling solution for higher overclocks and power play table mods XFX Warranty

Take a look at Sapphire, Gigabyte or Asus cards. All should be cool and quiet.

Not impressed, the main reason to get a 3rd party card is improved noise levels, better temperatures and a little more performance - this card is super loud though, that's a deal breaker in my eyes because the supposed improved noise levels of 3rd party cards is I think the most important reason for their existence, as the increased performance is only slight and therefore more inconsequential.

The fact that rgb is missing is a big plus but if i had to go with a 5700xt i would go with the sapphire one or strix because of the acoustics. But that's a darn sexy card !

Disappointed by the non-thicc pics.

XFX need to go back to their perverted innuendo ads. Everyone loved those. Seriously.

Update: please revisit the noise levels as we redid the tests. The BIOS and driver updates and possibly a defective card resulted in a too-high fan RPM. I am still investigating to what exactly is/was the cause.

Does it have bios switch? Have they actually released an updated bios? yup , bios updates on the website.

Yes it does, for both questions.
