    Great card and very quiet. The only concern was the size. If you have a small computer case you may need to remove the front fans if you have any to install. It runs very quiet and looks beautiful . Does very well on benchmark test.

    Beast for 144p gaming.

    Bought this card for a second gaming rig and I decided to give amd a shot. I debated between this and red devil, they both had great reviews and great feed back from users online but I just liked the way this one looked and went with it. Card arrived in perfect condition and I paired it up with an i5 9600k overclocked to 5ghz and connected to a msi 1440p, 165hz monitor. All I gotta say is the card is running wonderful at that resolution with my games maxed out, but most importantly no driver issues or crashes of any sort for me. I loaded up Resident evil 3 remake that came as a freebie with the card and at 1440p Maxed out I’m getting 140fps average. Yes the card runs a little hot and a little loud (75-80) in intense gaming but that don’t bother me, I’m sure with a little tinkering with the airflow and undervolting everything will be fine. Happy customer here, got a great card at a great price with a few freebies to go along.

    My favorite card I've had. It's really sleek and not very loud considering the monster fans on it. Always keeps cool, and runs most games at ultra 1440p. Mine did arrive with a dent on the aluminum but still worked fine. Not the most satisfied with AMD's updates, however.

    Solid Graphics Cards

    This gpu is a bit bigger and heftier than other 5700 XT variants but provides excellent cooling that is an improvement from the THICC II. Part of the reason I chose this gpu over the 2070 super was that it has similar performance but at a cheaper cost. The THICC III Ultra has a nice black aesthetic that can fit into any build if that build can support the length of the gpu. I have had no issues with this graphics cards (given the driver updates). A minor complaint is the weight of the gpu, as a consequence of it's cooling, you may also experience some gpu sag. Overall, a solid gpu.

    Great hardware, buggy drivers & software

    Like most people will tell you, AMD products offer great value for money. I don't deny it since it's true. The hardware is much more powerful than the competing Nvidia products at the price range. I'd say in some instances AMD gives double digit percentage advantage over the competing RTX 2060. But it comes at a cost... reliability. I believe AMD cards have great potential and raw power, but they just have a hard time executing it. During my time of ownership of the rx5700xt, I had a couple of bad experiences, like occasional crashes and poor game support. Newer games like Control and Horizon zero dawn had trouble playing properly. I don't mean that the GPU was slow. It's the fact that there were so many little annoying bugs which I couldn't handle. So I went with a RTX 2070 super instead. AMD, please hammer out some of these bugs and I'll consider going back when RDNA 2 gets released. I am willing to pay a little bit extra for reliability. Oh and btw, the THICC III variant did a good job with the thermals, so kudos to XFX.

    If you can get your hands on one of these get it for sure this is a great card I’ve had it for months it does great at 1440 P and it does very good at 4K you might have to turn some settings down a little bit but overall it’s a very good car does not run hot at all it is huge keep that in mind Great card for gaming and does really good at mining to 50+Mh/s I regret not buying four or five of these cards when they were $419 8 months ago available at almost every Best Buy around my area

    This card is fast and quiet. Literally double 3dmark score vs my old RX 580 GTS. Very large card and requires 2 8-pin or 2 6+2 or 4 6 pin power. Runs cooler than my 580 did. Gears 5 looks amazing in Ultra settings.

    Been really happy with this card. It was priced well when I got it, runs really cool, over locked out of the box, and looks pretty cool too. It is very large so make sure to measure the space in your case. It’s larger than a reference board due to the extra heat sink hanging off the back. It does have some card sag as well.

    Awesome GPU. Super big but managed to get it fitting in my matx case. AMD driver support isn't as intuitive as what I'm used to but it works. The GPU is seriously awesome performance-wise

    I've only had the card for a day now (installed). and only run a few in game benchmarks (mostly Tom Clancy). With that said, the card is a power house. Rainbow Six Siege averages 144FPS on a 32" 2K monitor with all settings nearly maxxed out. The card is massive. Even in a Antec full tower case, it's merely an inch from the drive caves in the front of the case. Plan accordingly in smaller cases.

    At first I thought I set the card up wrong. The fans weren't moving. Little did I know that the card stays cool until it's really getting used by games or applications. Then the fans kick on. The card is huge in my case and the forefront of everyone that looks at it. "That's a thic card" is what everyone says and I just laugh... Performance is excellent with all games I've bought just to run with this card set to ultra high or very high. I haven't found one application or game yet that this card can't run. Best bang for the buck!

    My old card would easily overheat and the fans would be on max playing world or warcraft on low settings for effects. I decided to upgrade my card since I'm had my MSI 290x for 10 years. Installed new card easily, ran WOW on max settings also Diablo3 on max, card is not even making a noise! Incredible! Card is silent as well. New card verses old card in length is 4 inch difference. I have a full Case not a mid s be careful on case size before you buy!

    The story I was after a 6800 XT, for about a month. I then realized that the future GPUs were about to get a lot more complicated. As scalping and limited releases are here to stay. As such, I decide to offset my upgrade cycle, so that I'm never buying a current gen GPU. But I needed something better to replace my RX 580 now and AMD didn't release a proper flagship to replace Vega since Vega. Since I could get this GPU on a $386.00 deal, using my birthday offer? I'd get this card, to run Cyberpunk and Valhalla and wait for the RX 7000s to be announced before pouncimg on a 6800 / 6900 XT, then not worry about upgrading for another 4 years, as I typically do, and in which case?The next time I upgrade? I'll get a high end last gen again, so that I'm avoiding scalpers and paper releases, regardless of their cost being virtually the same as next gen (it's important you catch the deals while you can, as its a small window, between announcement to last gen deals). Finally, about the card Anyway this card was a pleasant surprise! Running Cyberpunk at 50% high/ ultra settings nets 45 FPS @ 1440p. Shadow of War is maxed(ultra) @ 1440p and averaging a whopping 75 FPS! Also, the action RPG, Wolcen, which uses Cryengine, also nets about 70FPS+ @ 1440p ultra as well! I may keep this card longer!! And, mind you, Cyberpunk isn't even optimized right now ...on any card, so it will only get better! I estimate to be pulling north of 50FPS in the next 6 months in Cyberpunk.

    This card is great for average gaming, you can even get up-to 100 FPS on 1440p in warzone. So yeah overall a good card but it was not cutting it for me because when I start streaming, it starts tearing the game.

    I loved the design of this card, it has 3 vilators that help to cool the card well, I only tested one call of Duty game, even more everything in the ultra, when I test more games I'll be back for more details.
