Power Color RX 5700 XT?

    Anyone have much info on this card?

    I know their Red Dragon variant is well regarded, but this is a basically unnamed dual fan non-red dragon variant?

    Seems a very good price for a non-blower model of the 5700 XT?

    Info on that model is hard to come by, it might be alright though - PowerColor's other models (Red Dragon & Red Devil) are great.

    A number of reviews and YouTube videos I read/saw over the last two weeks while I was trying to narrow down the 5700xt I want , generally suggested spending to get the version up as this model can get loud and hot fast

    So I get what you're saying, but this 5700xt is only £4 more expensive than the Red Dragon non-XT card.

    The red dragon XT is substantially more, but comes with something like 2.3% performance uplift from the factory overclock.

    I have no intention of overclocking or playing with power tables, and I don't mind it being a little Louder than the best partner cards, once it's not like a leaf blower.

    I just don't see any other card being as good in terms of value for money?

    It's only £35 more than the cheapest partner model of the non-XT on the market!

    It will be fine. I have a reference model XT and find it grand. I wear headphones while gaming so can't hear it but sometimes I play through speakers and you only hear it when the game is silent while gaming with decent sound it is fine.

    I have this exact model. Nothing wrong with it. It's not loud or hot tbh, at least in my case (mATX one)
