The most memorable part of this comparison was the microphone comparison; even with crappy speakers I could hear the difference among the 3 cards. Thanks Leo!
i have this card and my friend and I both immediately noticed and commented on how gorgeous the backplate was... very clearly metal. we preferred the look of this card over the red devil, and the rgb is awesome if you're using/into rgb, tho for my build i mostly keep it off. some other details of your review may simply be a result of silicon lottery between the two cards, and the different platform they're running on (I'm referring mostly to the power draw figures), and card to card variance (referring to noise/temperature), as there are some conflicting reviews out there over a couple of these points, however the differences are very small so it's largely irrelevant. pick based on price or appearance only. for me this card was 10 cheaper and i preferred the look, easy choice. extremely happy with it.
I own both the red Devll and the Nitro. I most definitely prefer the Nitro card. Powercolor is nice too but the make of the Nitro seems better quality and it most certainly looks better too. In terms of the performance its pretty much the same. Overall the Nitro is the one to go for if you don't mind spending a few extra measly bucks.
Just ordered the nitro+ and went back and forth on which one to buy so you'd recommend the nitro instead of the red devil edition despite them having similar performance because of a slightly lower noise level with the nitro+? :)
You're quite correct about the 590 Nitro+ - that video has been very popular th-cam.com/video/JmfNtunmBsQ/w-d-xo.html and we trust the faithful KitGuru audience will give the RX 5700 Xt Nitro+ the same attention

@@KitGuruTech 5:15, you have said that Sapphire is slightly noisier than red devil, but we could clearly hear that red devil was the noisier one between 2 of them, ofc the reference RX 5700 is the loudest
@@wolandphotography No not one Blue Screen and also no crashes except one time in Borderlands3(just the game). But that game is quite buggy. I only had one game what did not start at all but I don't think that was the Grafik card. That was a problem with the launcher
AMD has the better gaming software features! so i wouldnt recommend the nvidia 2070 super. sapphire also comes with some resolution reducing software thing that can boost your frames and still look the same plus radeon's image sharpening, antilag, enhanced sync, freesync and theyre not jerks like nvidia and their dirty anti consumer tricks. the nvidia premium isnt worth the price anymore because theyre not so premium anymore neither is intel
Hello, What RGB cable are you using for the graphics card. was it a three pin that connected to your motherboard? how many volts is the 3 pin RGB on the graphics card? Kind regards.
The Red Devil is cheaper on Amazon, even with a better VRM (Red Devil adds two more phases compared to Sapphire), although the 2-HDMI 2-Display Port config on the Sapphire is something that weighs a bit more. Tough decision, although if one is planning on adding a waterblock to the GPU, the Red Devil will be able to handle it soflty thanks to its betterpower config.
I had the Nitro+, XFX Thicc III, and Red Devil on my list. I grabbed the Thicc III. I liked the look, but the card was trash. Returned it, got the Nitro+. I actually intended on the Red Devil, but it was sold out. I can't complain on the Nitro. It looks good, in my opinion, and does what I want it to do.
Leo, I like it that you hammer home the point that the reference card is much too noisy. I hope that AMD gets the message. I am astonished that AMD considered setting the fan-RPM an appropriate solution to earlier noise-complaints, just get rid of that bloody blowercooler, it serves no purpose in any other scenario than the smallest OEM-case with the tiniest case-fan and even then it is questionable.
Rumor is AMD kept the blower style reference card to keep their GPU partners happy. They left the biaxial and triaxial design to the partner cards so they have a more compelling offering since AMD's gpus haven't been selling as well as NV lately.
@@cosmic_drew That is possible but the AIB/AIC-partners also do a bad job. Compare the cards of MSI and Gigabyte for the 5700 XT and RX 480/580 with the RTX 2070(S) and GTX 1060. MSI literally reused the shroud of the GTX 1060 for the RX 480, designed their RX 580 Gaming X for exactly 150W and not a W more (the Computerbase review was very bad for the Gaming X) and doesn't even use proper thermal pads for their 5700 XT cards. Gigabyte and MSI do a MUCH better job for Nvidia. Then you have XFX which screwed it up this time, the Nitro which comes another month later, the Red Devil which still can't be bought and the Strix which is ridiculously expensive (€550 in the Netherlands). If at least AMD would offer decent cards themselves...
Just bricked my Vega 64 Airboost OC so I ordered one of these Nitros. I'm pretty excited to give it a try and run some benchmarks. Update: I fixed my Vega but I still got the nitro in the mail and I'm definitely keeping it. The card is a beast

@@intech7863 well the 5700xt is less power hungry than my vega but I still think I would get at least a 650W PSU. It would also depend on your other components too

Leo here - very good of you to take an interest in my well being. Yup, I am fine thanks. As a note my pained expression is merely me trying to remember what I want to say.
In the meantime where I live on the other side of the North Sea (Netherlands) we still pay €480 for the 5700 XT Pulse with its lightweighted basic heatsink while the reference card costs €410. What happened to that +$10 over MSRP, Sapphire? Bad supply, I guess. The Powercolor Red Devil is not available, MSI is but it is really bad, Gigabyte is but it is quite bad. 2.5 months after the paper launch we still can't buy decent 5700 XT cards. With regard to that lightweighted heatsink, here the numbers which show that I don't exaggerate. AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Reference 1.103 g Asus Radeon RX 5700 XT Strix OC 1.434 g Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Pulse 925 g 509 gram less for the Pulse than for the Strix, 178 gram less for the Pulse than for the reference card with its bloody blower-cooler. So far Navi has been rather disappointing, the supply is scarce, the aftermarket cards come incredibly late and we have paper launches.
Both the PowerColor and Sapphire by the sounds of it, although it could be the thin plastic of the fans themselves. Hopefully not audible in a PC case.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE I guess one wouldn't be able to notice the coil whine over the sound of HOW AWESOME THEIR BUILD IS!! But seriously, case encolosure, speakers/headphones, ambience, would be able to muffle that sound.
I can switch the 12v 4 pin header on my aorus b450 to 5v witch a switch on the Mobo. Maybe look and see if yours also has this feature? If not I’ll need to get a adapter to make it 5v so you can connect the argb to the card.
Hallo guys. I just ordered this very nice gpu but I was wondering because of the gpu size do I need a bracket to support the grafic card from bending? Thanks in advance
No. Corair's stuff all requires their proprietary crap. The only exception is Aqua Computer's Quadro controller being able to control Corsair fans ARGB with an adapter and Aqua Suite.

It's there so you can plug it to an rgb port on your motherboard. It doesn't power external rgb sources. For example I have mine hooked to my msi motherboard, I also have my aio connected to the second rgb port. I can than use tmsi mystic light to sync all the rgb to go through msi's software.
@@TerraWare Gotcha. Kind of a bummer but I get it. I don't have any ARGB on my board so I was hoping this would assist in that. Guess I'll have to upgrade if I want the best RGBness.
I once bought one of those but it never worked. Not even different computer pros got it to work. Got a 2080 who worked right away just by pluging it in. That was the end of my AMD gpu change.
The zero rpm fan thing to me never made any sense, the fans at idle speed are spinning so slow they're inaudible anyway. Just seems like a gimmick checkbox feature rather than something that has any real use.

Check out our review at www.kitguru.net/components/leo-waldock/sapphire-rx-5700-xt-nitro-review and you will see the 2060 Super is in the same ballpark at 5700, rather than 5700 XT.
I see no point in testing temperatures when the computer is outside the case, I mean, how many of us actually use it like this? I had a 5700XT that would get 75C out of the case but 90C inside, that's a huge difference! I get that there are lots of different cases, and airflow differs between them, and so does the gpu temperatures, but still it's important to know how it behaves in a 'sealed' space. From your review, one can think sapphire would make the cade hotter since it draws more power and doesn't have a blower fan, but I cant know for sure because the test is made on a completely open space.
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife I only messed around the fan curves till I found something that was good for gaming. Appart from that, I've been using it for months pretty much in stock. I tried trixx boost, it works but I feel like I'm better in full resolution cause my monitor is kinda big. Warzone with everything ultra 1080p I get solid 140fps on average, but my bottleneck is the processor (R53600) since I get the same framerates with the lowest graphics at the same resolution.
yes blower cooler suck but. Doing test bench comparison like this is showing the 3 fan cooler in the best light because it isnt re circulating the air that will make it hotter and louder. But the blower cooler wont have that problem because it will be in a case extracting the air outside the case the 3 fan cooler will be louder in a case compared to test bench because it is re using the air... the blower isnt reusing the air. Im not saying the 3 fan isnt better it clearly is but the sound level difference isnt this wide not when their both in a case with the door on.
@@picklewiickle.1583 1 fan is always going to have to work harder and at a faster RPM than 2 or 3 doing the same job, thus it's bound to be louder unless it's twice the size.
Can confirm as an owner,but it's not even nearly as obtrusive as this video might indicate,at least not on mine and it only happens when your framerate is stupidly high,like for example when playing cs go or any other e sports title and even weirder only when the scenes of the game go from bright to dark frequently.

it was true back in the early stage of the 5700xt drivers some people had issues but those are all fixed, do take note though obviously no card is 100% perfect and people will run into issues be it radeon/nvidia cards
What's the point of making "thicker" cards instead of wider ones? Thick cards (more than 2-slots) are always occupying the PCIe slots below and cripple that overpriced motherboard. Not everybody is a 12yrs old gamer. We are not using this computers for gaming-only ! We need those PCIe slots in order to mount other cards... Please STOP making 2.5-3-slot GPUs..! Also, wider and longer cards can adopt the standart (or thinner) 120mm fans, which will have the best cooling performance ever seen without the need of the bulky, heavy heatsinks. Because of increased surface area which will be cooled faster. Additionally they will be much more quieter and can be interchangeable. Manufacturers are not doing this, cause nobody asked for it yet :(
Most people dont use more than 1 gpu or expansion cards. There is also a HUGE rising of SFF/mini itx cases that would definitely not work if gpu manufacturers just suddenly made the width super super wide. In reality, youd probably want the first pcie slot to have other expansion cards while the one directly lower to be the gpu. Problem solved for most people These are just some reasons to consider.
This review seems botched. Powerconsumption is always also in part silicon lottery. My Nitro+ can run at 1.1v and 2100mhz real boost. Thats around 200w.
So is this Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ on your shortlist ?
No! It's unnecessary too big.

@@murzynator69 I didn't check it now, but at least by the time I said it it was in several stores I use to buy from in Germany, anyways both very close in performance, for a 5700 xt you can't go wrong with these two
Felipe Santos i got nitro + yesterday and it is really great
I prefer Nitro if the price diff aint too bad.
@@felipemotorhead i buy from germany as well. The red devil is 499€
The sapphire is 480€
And i ordered the sapphire special edition with also only 480€
Idk how this is possible but i am so happy
help,why my back plate got no colour?
what about the Gigabyte Radeon RX5700 Gaming OC? The Nitro has better cooling but the giga is overall thze better "bang for your buck" traid imo.
I have the Gigabyte card also as well as the Nitro and the Red Devil. Great cards all 3 of them but I prefer the Nitro. Looks nicer and the make of it seems better quality. Performance is too similar to say much between the two. My fave out of them all is definitely the Nitro card.
Got it open box at Microcenter for $350.
Does this graphic card work on my 8-year power supply? High Power 650W Absolute?
Min 700watt requirement

@@derfalke9178 can you explain how? amd gpu's are more power hungry than nvidia gpu's. minimum a 750 watt is needed for achieving its full potential for the pc. if u have got any doubt just go to amd website and check the spec of this grade gpu's
Uhhh it’s 600w minimum
Do you know when will it be available in the US? I can't find it anywhere.

Any idea if i can mount VERTICAL the rx 5700 xt sapphire Nitro+ on the msi b450 tomahawk max+ryzen 5 3600
in the coolermaster mastercase H500??many thx in advance
just buy PCI Express 16X raiser... its usualy came with lock nut you can mount inthe power suply area in H500 case
Should I get a rx 5700 xt or a rtx 2070 super for £100 more?
Nitro. That much more money for 5-10 FPS... lmao no thanks
I think a closer competitor is the gigabyte aorus 5700xt.
Rx 5700 xt powercolor evil or 5700 xt nitro ?
Nitro imho
Nitro
Nitro + is Perfect
I bet All the reviewers ask for 5700XT for Xmas

's: sorry i'm late
2060 super vs 5700xt are same price and look at those benchmarks
Check out our review at www.kitguru.net/components/leo-waldock/sapphire-rx-5700-xt-nitro-review and you will see the 2060 Super is in the same ballpark at 5700, rather than 5700 XT.
KitGuru's right. The 5700XT is even on RTX 2070 super grounds.
@@KitGuruTech what rgb cable did you use to connect from the 3 pin on gpu to 4 pin on motherboard
I see no point in testing temperatures when the computer is outside the case, I mean, how many of us actually use it like this? I had a 5700XT that would get 75C out of the case but 90C inside, that's a huge difference! I get that there are lots of different cases, and airflow differs between them, and so does the gpu temperatures, but still it's important to know how it behaves in a 'sealed' space. From your review, one can think sapphire would make the cade hotter since it draws more power and doesn't have a blower fan, but I cant know for sure because the test is made on a completely open space.
Thanks for the review anyway :D
Hey completely agree...
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife Bought the sapphire, I get about 78C inside the case, same airflow as I had with another 5700XT that got 95C. Sapphire is great.
@@iskabin awesome I get mine in the mail today. Did you use trixx to boost it at all? Or undervolt it yet? Any tips? Thanks!
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife I only messed around the fan curves till I found something that was good for gaming. Appart from that, I've been using it for months pretty much in stock. I tried trixx boost, it works but I feel like I'm better in full resolution cause my monitor is kinda big. Warzone with everything ultra 1080p I get solid 140fps on average, but my bottleneck is the processor (R53600) since I get the same framerates with the lowest graphics at the same resolution.
yes blower cooler suck but.
Doing test bench comparison like this is showing the 3 fan cooler in the best light because it isnt re circulating the air that will make it hotter and louder. But the blower cooler wont have that problem because it will be in a case extracting the air outside the case the 3 fan cooler will be louder in a case compared to test bench because it is re using the air... the blower isnt reusing the air. Im not saying the 3 fan isnt better it clearly is but the sound level difference isnt this wide not when their both in a case with the door on.
Then buy dual fan
Easy
@Stasss because your a dumb fuck who dont understand
@@picklewiickle.1583 1 fan is always going to have to work harder and at a faster RPM than 2 or 3 doing the same job, thus it's bound to be louder unless it's twice the size.
Surprises moment ... The fans are downwards on nearly every GPU. 😀
4:35 Do I hear Coil whine?
Can confirm as an owner,but it's not even nearly as obtrusive as this video might indicate,at least not on mine and it only happens when your framerate is stupidly high,like for example when playing cs go or any other e sports title and even weirder only when the scenes of the game go from bright to dark frequently.

It’s not high end

It's an informal British phrase... "I don't rate it" means "I don't think it's very good" over here.

I hear some people got some bad experience with amd drivers on this gpu. Someone of them here?
it was true back in the early stage of the 5700xt drivers some people had issues but those are all fixed, do take note though obviously no card is 100% perfect and people will run into issues be it radeon/nvidia cards
moose meat I unfortunately get flickers and screen tearing anyway to get rid of them? They have the latest update please help
@@Slicktune nigga i ain't no amd tech support lmfao go redit or smth
1 minute in...idk why but I subscribed and... I dont know.
What's the point of making "thicker" cards instead of wider ones?
Thick cards (more than 2-slots) are always occupying the PCIe slots below and cripple that overpriced motherboard.
Not everybody is a 12yrs old gamer. We are not using this computers for gaming-only !
We need those PCIe slots in order to mount other cards... Please STOP making 2.5-3-slot GPUs..!
Also, wider and longer cards can adopt the standart (or thinner) 120mm fans, which will have the best cooling performance ever seen without the need of the bulky, heavy heatsinks. Because of increased surface area which will be cooled faster. Additionally they will be much more quieter and can be interchangeable.
Manufacturers are not doing this, cause nobody asked for it yet :(
Most people dont use more than 1 gpu or expansion cards. There is also a HUGE rising of SFF/mini itx cases that would definitely not work if gpu manufacturers just suddenly made the width super super wide.
In reality, youd probably want the first pcie slot to have other expansion cards while the one directly lower to be the gpu. Problem solved for most people
These are just some reasons to consider.
Just get the reference card and add a waterblock maybe? They only use one slot given their being so slim compared to air-cooled GPUs,
Yea it’s rare ppl use more then one card lmao. Their not going to change that for a fraction of the consumer base unfortunately
Is Dominiks your boyfriend?
This review seems botched.
Powerconsumption is always also in part silicon lottery.
My Nitro+ can run at 1.1v and 2100mhz real boost. Thats around 200w.
the fan and voltage curve don´t work in this card, not so good
It does you need to set it higher.
