    That is the price without VAT off the AMD website go further into the process and you will see the real price.

    5700 XT = go custom

    Blower models are simply inferior to a decent axial cooler.

    Seems to be red devil and sapphire nitro se that are coming up as the top recommendations from most users. I'm ordering whichever one of those I decide on. Head wrecking trying to decide but probably only splitting hairs between them.

    When I was looking around most people recommended the nitro and red devil and a few seemed to have issues with the gigabyte version but I can't remember what issues they were now.

    I went with the red devil in the end

    Ended up picking up sapphire nitro + for 412 blips on Amazon warehouse,bit of a gamble,but hopefully it turns out ok

    What swayed you away from the Gigabyte you had decided on? Curious before I purchase Red devil or nitro+ SE

    I was also focused on the 2 you mentioned and the gigabyte card
    I just thought the nitro was a bargain
    at that price and the general consensus is its the best 5700xt
