Seems like a pretty good deal if you were thinking of picking up the REmake at some point anyway (will probably be around $30-20 in a few months like RE2). The 5700 seems to bench in between 2060 and 2060 super depending on the game. All without without the RTX option, of course.
Personally I'm holding out for more price drops on the $299 RTX 2060 KO from EVGA simply due to warranty and step-up with next-gen right around the corner. My GPU died right outside of warranty due to shoddy soldering so I probably value the warranty/step-up a lot more than a few odd FPS.
There it is! Was waiting for this promo to come back, thanks!
I need to replace a glitchy rx480. I plan to see how it runs at 1080 (ultrawide, though, wish I had a 1440 instead), and then maybe try the 5700 XT BIOS if I want a little more punch.

This will be awesome on 1080p, even widescreen. Your CPU will likely be a bottleneck unless it's pretty recent and solid.
Have two of these cards and love them. Both flashed to the XT BIOS saw a 10 percent increase. In a few 3D Mark synthetic benchmarks it's about 15-20 percent slower than my 1080ti. In the 3-4 games I ran benchmarks on it was only about 10-15 percent slower.
This card had some terrible problems when released like 6 months ago. It has been reviewed extensively on YouTube and posted on here plenty. MSI revised the card, was re-reviewed, and did much better. Problem is MSI didn't change the model number. Sooo... no real way to know which version you're gonna get. If this were 6 months from now, I'd feel more confident that old inferior stock would have been burned through.

Wonder if you can tell by manufacturing date. Still want to upgrade my 970 GTX but not sure if this would be the smartest/most cost effective with a re flash.

This card is comparable to 2060 Super/2070
