GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G Video Card Review

Verdict and Conclusion

The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G graphics card establishes GIGABYTE’s commitment to bring to market the best version this segment of graphics cards. This card is very competitive with the RTX 2070 or RTX 2060 Super and is plenty of reason for any fan of Team Red to upgrade. The card comes with GIGABYTE’s signature Windforce 3X cooling, and boy does the cooler do its job well. The noise levels in relationship to the card’s thermals are perfect!

I am pleased to see the inclusion of a metal backplate rather than a plastic (gasp!) backplate. The metal backplate really does add to the overall aesthetics of the graphics card as well as help to dissipate the heat. The RGB is also nicely done and the performance is awesome!, more importantly, which is why this card is still an absolute winner. Well done GIGABYTE!

For those ready to pull the trigger, you can buy the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G graphics card for around USD $420 available at Amazon 

 

Pros:

  • Fan Noise to Temperature Ratio is spot-on
  • Fan off function in idle and low power modes
  • Great performance for the price with competition
  • Great card for 1080/1440p 100+ FPS competitive gaming
  • Metal Backplate included
  • Customizable RGB Lighting

Cons:

  • No ray-tracing support

 

Final Thoughts:

The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G graphics is a great new video card from AMD. This is a great graphics card to own if you game at 1080p or 1440p and need 100+ in modern games or 4K/60 if that is what you prefer. This is definitely one of the quietest and coolest (literally) 5700 XTs that we have tested in our lab and is the all-around winner thus far. As such we can definitely recommend the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G graphics card! Thanks and have a Funky Day!
