That's true. I use RSR (internally it uses some version of FSR) with this game instead of the built-in upscaler and it looks much better and also it runs with higher fps. I recommend this approach for all AMD users instead of the native upscaler until they add true FSR.

I bought a 5700 just before the coof, and i got a specific version of the card, the powercolor red dragon! the reason was because that specific model of the 5700 had the EXACT same pcb as the 5700xt, down to the same ammount of power phases. I immediately flashed the performance bios to the 5700xt bios. And that's how i got a super cheap 5700xt that i'm still rocking to this day. zero crashes, zero instability, auto overclocks to 2074mhz core clock via the adrenalin software. Since I barely play any AAA games, I am still playing everything at high settings with very high framerates. One of the last games I 100%'d was Forza Horizon 4. Medium settings at 1440p while streaming, 144 fps locked. Maybe I'll buy an upgrade on the next gen from AMD. depending on how good the 8700xt is or something.

@oneeasterneuropean9299 14 днів тому
@@TheUltraMinebox Exactly why I upgrade to a 7900gre when my 5700XT bit the dust a few weeks back. *technically* it's like 30% more expensive than what I paid for the 5700XT back in 2019, but that 30% price hike is still lower than that of my grocery list compared to back then as well. A 7800XT or 7900GRE are now well worth the upgrade, *if* you need it. I would have kept my 5700XT for a while yet, as FSR got "good enough" to be worth the visual hit, and I was perfectly fine with getting 80-100FPS in most non-competitive games, or even around 60 if they didn't require any rapid inputs. Hopefully I can get 5 years out of the 7900GRE. We'll see if it gets the same performance bump with time that the 5700XT got since launch.
@vigilant_1934 13 днів тому
It's not stagnation. The 7700XT is a proper uplift over the 6700XT with 54 CUs vs. 40CUs. The 6700XT is a bit better than the 5700XT with the same amount of CUs but the biggest difference is the extra VRAM (12GB vs 8GB). You can't expect a 100% performance increase until 3 generations later. Tim did a whole video on GPUs and price to performance and what average consumers expect before upgrading. 30% increase after 1 gen, 50% increase after 2 gens and 100% price to performance increase after 3 generations and this was based on Hardware Unboxed polls. The 7700XT gives you over 60% improvement in 2 generations which is great at the midrange where performance isn't pushed as hard the high end. Either way, it's only 4.5 years since the 5700XT was released and RDNA 4 isn't out yet. Around the 5 year mark we should have an 8700XT that gives you that double performance. The 5700XT was never really supposed to be $400 (I think AMD was gonna make it $499 until Nvidia announced the Super series with lower prices) and I'm not 100% sure how much the assumed 8700XT will cost but I still expect it to be $450-$500. If it has the performance increase and 16GB of VRAM I might get it to upgrade my placeholder 6700XT. If it is the top die for RDNA 4 (which is rumored to be similar to RDNA 1 meaning no high end GPUs) than it might have an even bigger performance increase if AMD hits their targets.

Cracking job there. Well done. With regards to testing older GPUs, the 1080 Ti has been done elsewhere so don't bother with it; rather, I'd like you to look at the previous generation, the Maxwell Titan, (and not the 980 Ti) because of the extra VRAM (12 GB vs 6 GB). Theoretically it should still be around the level of the RTX 3050 / RX 6600 / A750 - not bad for a nine year old card if it's correct. But is it? We eagerly await your results.

I got the 5700 XT back in late 2019, just a few months before the crypto boom that started in 2020. I kept it until last year when I picked up the 7900XT. I got it for $720 around July. I saw it drop to that point a few months prior, but I didn't have the spare cash at the time. I kept an eye on it so that the next time it was well under $800 I jumped on it. So I ran that card about three and a half years. Not a super long life, but considering I spend $420 on it when the 2070 non super was going for $500 and up, I think I did alright. I also did just enough mining to pay for the card and cover my power bill in the winter. Basically just ran it to help keep my apartment warm but also kinda pay for itself for the winters of '20 and '21. I gave that card and my 3800X to a friend that never got into PC gaming. :)

NOpe ! IM still playing the launch version of alan wake 2 on a 5700xt and it runs just fine. over 30 fps all the time. mostly around 40-50 fps range. CPU is xeon 2699v3 and 96gb ram. it runs smooth.

I upgraded from GTX 1070 to 7900XT . The difference in titles like Alan Wake 2 or Last of us part 1 was tremendous. I actually upgraded my monitor shortly after, because I realized I didn't need to be getting 250 FPS in every game with maxed out settings.

Thanks for this vid. I got my 5700xt Sapphire Pulse back in January 2020, right before GPU prices spiked. I'm still rocking it and it is undoubtedly the best component I purchased for my PC.

@CaptainKenway 14 днів тому
That isn't true at all. Whether something is a fully-enabled chip or not doesn't dictate its place in the product stack. A 4060 Ti uses a fully-enabled GPU, whereas the 3060 Ti didn't, yet that doesn't make it the successor to the 3070 Ti (which did). A fairer way to look at things is die size, ROPs and CUs, and the 5700 XT only has 64 ROPs and 40 CUs on a 251mm2 die, versus the 96 ROPs and 54 CUs of the 7700 XT and its 346mm2 die. They're simply not in the same class, despite the product naming. The 7600 XT would be closest to a 5700 XT in the current stack, since it also has 64 ROPs, although only 32CUs on a 204mm2 die. It's also a fully-enabled Navi 33 chip, so would meet your criteria too, though the reality is that the 5700 XT doesn't quite match anything in the current stack because there's no 40 CU equivalent. RDNA 1 was a weird generation where AMD abandoned the high end entirely, so it doesn't mesh well with the RDNA 3 stack that competes all the way up to the 4080 (Super).

@@CaptainKenway The 4060Ti(188mm^2) is the successor to the rtx 3050(198mm^2 cut down from 276mm^2). Hell you could say it's the successor to the RTX 3050 6GB which is 200mm^2. The RX 5700 XT has 251mm^2 die size as a monolith on 7nm, but the RX 7800 XT has 200mm^2 die size on 5nm at 151 Million transistors per mm^2, while the cache 4x 36mm^2 is at 50 Mt/mm^2 on 6nm, if it was all on 5nm it would be 4x 12mm^2 = 48mm^2 + 200mm^2 = 248mm^2.

@@badass6300 You know just enough to argue a solid case for a wrong conclusion :P Navi1 is on the last DUV node, which made the wafer cost manageable. EUV is expensive, and that has translated to such elevated wafer prices that the per-transistor cost went UP despite it being a full 70% density shrink for 5nm. It's not until 4nm that the transistor count reached parity with 7nm. So expecting to get the same die size for the same money, with a wafer cost increase and an inflation spike, pretty much translates to saying "I expect AMD to be a charity and not a company".

My friend finally put his 5700 onto "backup card" status a while back, grabbing one of the last of the 6750XT's. A good cleanout and some new thermal pads and it will go in his backup pc/server system eventually. Sure it would have been better if he held on a bit longer for a 7700XT, but he was having a lot of thermal throttling issues. These ended up being mostly due to the poor thing being full of dust and dog hair. The initial driver issues and blue screen problems are long forgotten which is a great thing for those Arc buyers who have had to recently endure the same dramas. Stay the course and it should be resolved, guys. Suffice to say the new card and the extra 4gb of ram is a great help at 1440.

"Obviously this was a valid RMA" so they sent me all three new fans free of charge. Did take ages with shipping though.

Yes the 7700xt was poorly priced at launch but when I got it is was £390 for the sapph pure edition and came with game coupons for steam. The 5700xt is tired and a year off being unsupported. Also I have had heating and power drain issues with our 5700xt since buying it so I wont revel in the marvel of it saying it has been amazing, I have had to repad/paste & under volt it along with all kinds of tuning to make it great. The 1080Ti has been stellar for the 7 years we've had it. We have given Nvidia a complete swerve for the 40 series, what a busted overpriced mess and no need to bring up RT, it is shit useless below the £1000 mark and no average gamer has any clue what it is or that is drops fps tremendously but fight on fanboys.

Still rocking that 57xt you're presenting in this video. If I knew it was the golden shit during the mining boom then I defo would have sold it for that upgrade. Problem with that being that I got laid off and without a means of securing cashflow and the ongoing gpu shortage, I didn't want to risk ending up cardless at the time. Somewhat kicking myself as I'll likely be selling it for under $150 (purchased for $380 used w/ box+accessories) by the time I hit my 5 year upgrade cycle next year compared to maybe $250 for a 67xt. Getting my build finished only a couple months before lockdown felt absolutely clutch back then. Now it's looking like I'll upgrade to either the 77/78xt (78 mainly for the 16gb vram), although considering I'm looking into AI creation I'm thinking about biting the bullet and paying the yucky green tax and picking up the 4060 (16gb) or seeing what the 4070 looks like since I'm hoping by then the 5 series will have started putting some downward pressure by then. Then there's also the power savings which will always be appreciated alongside the additional features and stuff. We'll see, got another year and my 57xt has been great to me. A great upgrade off the 390x 8gb I got in 2015. Thanks for helping with the upgrade decision, though maybe we could revisit this again come next year and see how things really compare? :P

I bought the 5700XT reference when it first came out, and ended up selling it during the crazy mining period where people were paying silly money for them. It was a hybrid between GCN and RDNA, which is why it was preferred over the 6000 series.
