Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 5700 XT
A mid-range 2019 card that runs hot and loud while trying to compete with Nvidia's offerings from that year.
Get it if you want solid 1440p gaming for cheap and don’t mind older hardware. Skip it if you need ray tracing or modern features; newer cards handle that way better.
Buy it if…
- You want a fast 1440p card without spending current-gen prices.
- You're building a budget gaming PC and don't need ray tracing.
- You need a reliable used upgrade from an older GTX 900 or RX 500 series card.
