MSI Radeon RX 5700 Gaming X review

We check out the Gaming X revision of MSI's Radeon RX 5700. The little brother of the XT comes with that updated look and low noise levels. Fabricated at a 7nm node and capable of battling with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 and 2070 we'll check out how well it holds against the reference card as well.

This is the first non-XT review I've seen of MSI's Gaming X, and just like the XT version, it performs all around as the best in the cooling & noise department; but ofc at a $50 price premium (for both models). ...For that extra $50, you might as well get an XT card such as the $409 Sapphire Pulse which has extremely competitive cooling performance both for the GFX chip and the DDR6 VRAM at an astonishingly low price.

The XT AIB cards have come down a bit in the UK but the 5700 standard AIB not really, so agree with the comments above. One AIB card with twin fan setup is only £10 more than the reference XT card. Rather odd.

At first I was going to say "wtf is up with the excessive heatsink" until I saw the temperature and noise level. I still think it's overkill, and I personally would not be fond of a 3-slot mid-range GPU, but, it proved it's effectiveness.

Just flash it to an XT...apparently the new rage in the months to come...
At $399, it would compete with reference XT. Quite a dilemma for buyers.
