The testing methodology we're using comes from PresentMon: Performance In DirectX, OpenGL, And Vulkan. A 185W board power rating justifies eight- and six-pin auxiliary connectors up top, along with the same 70mm blower-style fan and vapor chamber cooler found on Radeon RX 5700 XT. Chips with impurities or errors don't fully work, so modern processors build in redundancies and some portions of the chip can be disabled to produce a working chip—but one that's not as fast as a fully enabled chip. Ultimately, today’s launch isn’t a case of a next-generation card coming in and wiping the floor with its last-generation competition; like the RTX 20 series launch last year, the RX 5700 launch is a more gradual shift in pricing and performance. I've already covered AMD's new Navi / RDNA architecture in detail, and the companion Radeon RX 5700 XT review largely overlaps this one. Around back, an aluminum plate covers most of the PCA, protecting it from accidental drops. @nerdtechgasm @BitsAndChipsEng Yeah, I've addressed why it was changed in the first place in the article I've got coming up.

Will polish it off for tomorrow, @Locuza_ Note that these figures come directly from Intel.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT review. The good news is that unlike the reference Vega cards, the RX 5700 has a much lower TBP (Typical Board Power) of just 175W, which in turn means the fan won't need to spin nearly as fast. It's easily one of the best graphics cards today. @fun_taril They're just names, not indicative of a family of microarch generations.

An aluminum shroud does wrap around the cooler, including its back edge. Aimed at what these days is the midrange segment of the video card market, AMD is looking to carve out a new place for the company in the hearts of gamers who are looking for high performance video cards that won’t break the bank. For the moment then, the RX 5700 series can largely be considered to be part of the same generation of GPUs as the RTX 20/GTX 16 series, for all of the benefits and downsides that entails. © This library of effects is open-sourced, which means that developers can include them without having to pay royalties – which should lead to much wider adoption than something like Nvidia GameWorks.
