Looking for some insight. I just basically built a new PC but still had the GTX 970, I know this is an upgrade, and I'm wondering if I should hold out for something better on sale or get this? This is about the budget i was looking for, I just remember when I got my 970 NVIDIA released their new line and I kinda got screwed.

I would get it. 5700 is good.

Just google a benchmark for a game in a review and look at the fps difference and calculate if the 5 10 15 20 30 40 50 fps gain is worth the cost minus you selling yours (if you can)

Don't listen to some dude on SD who says "yes". Numbers don't lie

Well. Numbers aren't ignorant. Hahahahaaha

This seems to hover somewhere between 2060 super and 2070 super. The 2070 super is $500 though retail but not uncommon if it costs more than that.

If you want full details type in 5700 vs gtx 970 and it'll pop up with a link giving you comparisons.

Haha yeah, I've looked at the bench marks and compared them and I know it's a lot better than mine currently, and I want AMD to use freesync, but I guess what I was wondering if I should hold out for another possible deal, or just be happy with this. This kinda summed it up for me, so thanks though 😅

Oh, I didn't know it was comparable to those cards, that's really good to know. Thanks for the tip! And yeah, I did the comparison benchmark a minute before my OP.

If you just search on SD... Lowest 5700 goes for is 280 for blower. So. There you go but you already said you know so you're Gucci. I bought the sapphire one. It's RIPPING 4k, I had a rx 480 lmao

New cards supposedly come out in June. I'd wait myself but your call. With the new consoles supposedly supporting AMD ray-tracing, it might be wise to wait.

My personal rule of thumb is I only upgrade if I can get 100% better performance, the 5700 is ~70% faster than 970.

I have a Ryzen 5 1600. If I get this, would by processor be horribly bottlenecked. I have the rx580 right now

I'm in about the same boat (AMD 290X, basically on par with your 970.) The real question is whether jumping on this gen of GPU is the right move or not.

Ray tracing is pretty good to have for a GPU that will be around 2-3 years (for me at least), and AMD's next GPU will supposedly have it, but will probably run $450-500 (but come with a perf boost over the 5700 XT.) That's also the optimal price entry point for Nvidia's current crop if you want decent performance with RT (the 2600 is too weak, the 2600 Super is decent but still a bit underpowered IMO, the 2700 Super is the sweet spot).

I'm on the fence and so far have not been able to make a purchase, as I'm also shooting for ~$300-350 price range.

I'm still running Asus GTX970. I recently upgraded (from Intel 4790K on Z97 to AMD 3600 on X570) and have been eyeing the RX5700 cards. Rumors are GDDR6 prices will go up in 2020 but since my GTX970 does what I need, I can wait.

I'm going to wait for reviews before getting another AMD card (even then, I probably won't get an AMD). This isn't a critique of this particular card but of a 5700XT I had briefly. I bought a reference 5700XT recently but it's been a nightmare to try and get stable. Crashes, driver issues, hot, loud, etc. It never worked in two different computers so it just went back. The problem was not only did it not work (complete crash of computer with GPU use or a lot of screen artifact and no crashing), it resulted in visual artifacts when I went back to my 480 (even after DDU removal of drivers). Then only thing that fixed my computer was a fresh install of Windows on a new drive. This was likely a one off event but it is enough to steer me away from AMD in the future. My 480 will have to last for another year and then I'll probably go with an nvidia card.

I have to say that the 5700 series cards offer serious performance for the money (at least relative to Nvidia) but many of the 5700 series cards have issues. They are better now with newer drivers but often require adjusting settings in Wattman to get them running quieter and more stable. If you want a plug and play card, consider something else. This might be a plug and play or it might take a lot of fiddling around with settings to get stable.

I couldn't find a pro review for it, but from what I gathered from a few users on Reddit, it seems that the cooling setup on these Asus cards isn't great. Not atrocious and still better than blower, but hardly great. So it's a good deal at this price but keep that in mind.

If only some of the Sapphire cards went on sale at around this price... maybe that'll convince me to make the jump.
