Looks OK. Dual BIOS may be bit questionable in case BIOS editing is not possible. RGB header/aura-sync is meme worthy. Visually OK. Thermal performance likely good.

Asus needs to redisign the rog cards, they all look the same few generations now. Also pricing on asus cards lately are just silly. I bet you can 2070s for the price of this one.

Asus used 3dmark11??? This is an very old benchmark tool for a 2019 card...if they used 3dmark11 why not bragging about framerate in quake III also??? A sample of "Asus software & experience":

There is currently an issue with AMD drivers causing ASUS Fanconnect II and Aura Sync not to work.

"The board is fed by two 6 and one 8-pin power connectors" Photos and the specifications slide show 2x8 pin power connectors, chief.

2.4GHz and 43*C in the final GPU Tweak II slide...wonder which GPU that is...

Never will i ever pay 50-80$ more for Strix/ROG name... waiting for other partners 😀

"Leaked" more like "released early to stimulate the shares"

Asus or any other AIBs cant come soon enough. Hope Navi's driver issues get sorted out in time for when they arrive. Seen a lot of ref card owners unhappy with being early adopters, with some RMA'ing their cards.

oh, whats the reason? LTT had that 5700XT boost itself to OHP in its video.

Driver issues mostly.

Why? to me its one of its huge assets, that no other has it. Asus has been criticized by review sites into having too aggressive fan curves, to the point that there have been vbios revisions on past cards, but the route that asus took was to me the best imo, allowing the card to be used under the vbios "performance" preset for most that want to OC or dont care about a quiet setup, and the vbios "quiet" preset for the people that want a quieter setup sacrificing higher temps.

What driver issues? I listed the issues I've experienced in the relevant thread and I haven't even considered the possibility of an RMA....

Sent mine back. I surmise it was not playing nice with the B350 board it was paired with. Wonky and unstable from boot to boot. Most trouble I have had with any part in ages. And of no mind to go though the trouble of trying it on the x370 or B450 boards I have. Looking forward to what MSI, Sapphire, and PowerColor, do with the cooling. My Red Devil Vega 56 is a beast, and a 5700xt with a cooler that good, is an instant buy for me, even at $50 more.

After I updated my Win10 to 1903, I ran into an issue when attempting to update to the latest Radeon drivers. During the install, Windows Defender blocked some portion of the install. I chose the option to "Install anyway" and it seemed like it completed OK. After reboot, there was no driver to be found, only the empty folder for the install location. I RE-installed the Radeon GPU driver and although it took hold the 2nd time, I lost all sensor readings (temps, clocks, power...all of it). Since this happened, I did a fresh install of Windows 10, using an ISO of version 1803. Updated to latest Radeon drivers, and...it's still not functioning. Does this sound driver related? or did something on my GPU go 'pop'? Not looking forward to the thought of having to reinstall the stock cooler if I have to RMA this thing... EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am unable to run a game at this time, or play any video through a hardware-accelerated process or program. I had to switch from MPC-HC with MadVR, back to VLC and set it to run using OpenGL for Windows instead of the default. These limitations are not due to overheating, mind you.

I had the same issues. Never did get any sensor reading software to work again. Nothing I did involving nuking drivers or fresh copies of windows had any effect. Similar issues with media players, and it would lock itself at 800MHz while running 3DMark. I was down to trying it in a different board, so I called it. Newegg was gracious, and waived the normal return policy and gave me store credit for the return. I am now waiting for partner cards.

First user appears very lazy.... System was probably unstable to start with. Second user could have just as easily been a hardware issue unrelated to the card. I experienced all the same issues when I first got my x700 Pro. The cause ended up being completely unrelated to the graphics card. Also could have damaged the card installing a 3rd party cooler on it. Third, sounds like the second user posting again. I've had all sorts of strange issues with graphics cards over the years. From cards DOA (9600XT), to monitors failing after a GPU change (HD7870), to drivers appearing to have installed, but not really (x700 Pro, GF6800), to drivers crashing at stock settings but being perfectly stable with a 50% overclock (560Ti), to cards appearing to prevent Windows from even installing (GTX275).....even cards catching fire (GTX460).... Quite honestly, this RX5700 has been the most straight forward GPU upgrade I've ever done.....and even it had issues....lol If you're going to adopt a new architecture at release time, it's very likely you're going to have issues.
