Review: ASUS Radeon RX 5700 ROG STRIX
After reviewing the XT model, it is time to check out the ASUS Radeon RX 5700 ROG STRIX (non-XT) today. The beefy card comes with increased clocks, spiffy looks and can be called silent, and I mean really impressively silent.

Good card but as others said stupid price.
You can pretty much buy a reference XT with an aftermarket cooler for about the same price ...

No one talks about these non-xt variants. Such an underrated card, it beats 2060 super and regular 2070, vega 64 in most benchmarks.
If this was 300$ product it would be a killer.
And I expected that reviewers will use MorePowerTool always for RX5700 and bummer ... nothing
Even though it can be all set under one minute
Some tests were done here (not in English, but pictures shows the difference)

I always liked Asus products, specially their MBs, but in the last years they have lost it when it comes to pricing. First their ROG products were gaming oriented with a decent premium over non ROG products then they became super expensive. To fill the gap between the normal stuff and ROG stuff, they create the Strix line, a "poor" mans ROG line, but now Strix products are becoming also expensive as hell...
I wonder if this is working for Asus...
Of late I can't understand what Asus is doing with their prices. I guess they have their loyal customers who keep buying, so even if they sell less, they still make enough profit. If they aren't selling less despite the higher than competitors' prices, then I really don't understand. I have had a few of Asus cards over the years, and back then they weren't overpriced.
