Finally a slightly better price for a well cooled 5700. Thanks for posting! Many other 5700s posted have some drawbacks bit this one seems solid. I've researched the crap out of 5700 cards and ultimately decided to keep my 570 until the first new cards come out after the new consoles next year. That will ensure better future proofing.

Agreed. A solid deal for one of the better cooler card with dual bios switch. Was about to pull the trigger on MSI evoke 300$ AR deal. Was planning to buy additional thermal pads and thermal paste and do a mod but held off due to my laziness. Is this it? Or we can expect some Rebate offers additionally for this card making the deal even sweeter?

Not sure, but gamers Nexus said you can flash the BIOS and have it perform identical to the XT model

Not exactly but they say there's at least 10% gain in flashing XT BIOS...

New consoles will come out in November/December of 2020. That is quite a wait.

Would you agree that RX 580 for $150 provides a great value? Considering that 5700 XT (or 5700 with XT mod) is almost twice the performance of RX 580, doubling of price would also provide a great value. At the end, it depends on your resolution and games you play.

Yup I know it's a wait. The rx580 is good but not future proof. I'm currently on a rx570 that plays any game still at 1080p (not maxes out of course) and I think it will get me until New consoles.

What I'm worried about are all the crappy pc ports of console based games that a card from this year might not handle a couple years down the road. Also don't want to fork out the money for a 2080 to get that piece of mind. Cheap ass team red guy here

I was hoping for a $300 - $350 2060 super on BF... but that fleeting 20% discount on rakuten evaporated as soon as it was posted here.. the zotac cards cheap enough got sold out fast.

Don't flash it! Use the morepowertool it will accomplish the exact same thing without risking bricking your card. I bought the $300 xfx 5700 card deal two weeks ago and I have that running so smooth at above 5700xt clocks. It just unlocks the ability to OC higher.

Bricking is not really a concern on this card as it has dual bios. If you already have a GPU, booting into the system using that card would let you flash the "bricked" one. Also the clock gains from flashing are fairly significant and is immediate.

I agree, for the average gamer, flashing is the easiest way to go. Take a backup beforehand and risk is minimal. I got in on the xfx 5700 dd ultra the other week. Just through it in yesterday and did some base benches. Really impressed with the performance over my old r9 fury nitro. Temps were actually cooler and got double the performance. No issues with sound that I saw reported by some also. Going to flash to xt and play around with to see what I can get out of it. As long as temps stay in check, the extra 10%+ should be well worth it.
