I got a few friends on Discord claiming the drivers suck and they get constant crashes, almost hourly. A few guys are wanting to return them and swap it out for a 2060 or 2070 super. I hope the custom cards ship with better drivers.

I still kinda like the rx580 for ~$170 atm on newegg. Its a lotta card for the money.

@Undying I know you are a modder and a respected fellow , world wide and on this forum ... don't get me wrong ... but not all of use have 1500+ euros for a GPU . Here I must beside with the other side ... last 2 lines from Nvidia are super overpriced and RTX for now it's just a .... fantasy ... Maybe in 3 years things will evolve for the better as for now this is all we have

This "efficiency" thing is once again getting out of hand.
Everybody mentions it, no one actually says why it's important (to them). It's just a "this is better that is worse" case without any practical impact at this point.
Actually lot of people don't seem to understand the actual difference between power consumption and efficiency.

Great review Hilbert!
It seems that Asus is in a bit of a pickle, considering that with their top cooler they have managed to tame Navi, but only just. Physics is stubborn like that -> dissipating 250W from 250mm2 is no trivial feat.
And now ASUS is puzzled whether to ask 50 euros which barely justifies STRIX brand and the extra cost, or to ask 80-100 euros which puts them dangerously close to 2070 Super vulgaris.
IMHO if you're into 5700XT, 50 euros overcharge for STRIX is a great deal.
OK I'll try to explain my point of view on efficiency with a real-life example:
Imagine there is a 2070FE out there which consumes only 90W.
GPU temperature at 55°C, fans barely spinning (OR NOT), and similarly the case fans engaging but only just.
That's what happens during heavy 3D gaming when I undervolt/undrclock mu Super to 2070 perf. level ~ 1600MHz @ 0.7V.
Zero dust intake, zero noise In practical terms, minimum wear&tear, heat emission so low that I forget about it even during these hot days.
Brother, in my book that's comfort, that's piece of mind and mission accomplished 😀 That's why I am in love with efficiency AND power consumption.

$350 Would have been the perfect price/performance for this card.

Most amd issues are amd caused, not user caused.
