The Radeon RX 5700 XT holds up as one of the best graphics cards in the sub-$500 tier, and there are a handful of custom-cooled models that sell for below $400. Gigabyte’s Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC is not typically one of them, though it’s on sale right now for $369.99 on eBay (via Newegg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This card is normally priced at $409.99. Newegg is selling it for $40 below that price through its eBay account, and in the process is even undercutting its own store listing\u2014you can save $10 on the same card on Newegg’s website by applying coupon code VGAPCRW4742 at checkout, but that only brings the price down to $399.99. So, you still come out ahead by going through eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My only reservation about buying a graphics card right now is that both AMD and Nvidia are expected to launch new models later this year\u2014RDNA 2 and Ampere, respectively. You will have to weigh the pros and cons of playing the waiting game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you need an upgrade right now, however, this sale price can help stave off buyer’s remorse when the newer and shinier stuff arrives. The 5700 XT is a good choice for 1440p and 1080p gaming. It’s generally faster than a GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and if you’re okay with dipping below 60fps, it can drive a 4K resolution in some games as well (it average around 50fps in the 11 games we used to test the card in our review).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This card comes with a mild factory overclock\u2014Gigabyte goosed base clock to 1,650MHz (up from 1,605MHz) and reports the ‘game’ clock at 1,795MHz (up from 1,755MHz). It also wields a custom triple-fan cooling solution to keep temps in check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
