I have had this GPU for 3 weeks now and wanted to write a fair review. I have to say I am super please with my purchase. Great card running titles in either 1440p ultra detail or 2160p med or high detail, and getting stable high framerates. I did have GPU crashing issues the first few days. I ran AMD's clean uninstall tool, it clears out all remnants of previous drivers. Installed clean drivers and uninstalled MSI afterburner. I have thrown every game title I have at this thing and if has been rock steady, no crashes for more than 2 weeks. Hefty, good looking card, I hit MSI for not providing a GPU support bracket. I bought one a week later, as insurance because this card is big and heavy. It oozes quality! To me I saved a nice chunk of dough over the 2070 super. Which are fantastic GPUs. I just did not want to give Nvidia what they want for one. Glad to see some competition from AMD, better for all us gamers!

MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING X
PLAY HARD, STAY SILENT - TWIN FROZR 7 THERMAL DESIGN
The 7th generation of MSI’s TWIN FROZR cooler takes the ultimate cooling design to the next level. A new TORX Fan 3.0 design and updated aerodynamic heatsink advance the possibilities of thermal performance and low-noise efficiency.
TORX FAN 3.0
MSI TORX fan keep the limits of thermal performance turning. Fan blades alternate between traditional blades and dispersion blades that focus and accelerate airflow into the heatsink.
ZERO FROZR: STAY UNDETECTED
First introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZERO FROZR technology stops the fans completely when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all fan noise when active cooling is unneeded. The fans will automatically start spinning again when the heat is on during gaming.
BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF COLORS
Splash on some color using the MSI Mystic Light utility. Choose from millions of colors or one of the predefined animated effects.
REINFORCING BACKPLATE
A backplate reinforces the graphics card while completing the plated exterior look.
THERMAL PADDING
Generous amounts of thermal pads let various components transfer heat directly to the heatsink.
POWER ALLOCATION TECHNOLOGY
PCIe power allocation enables the card to draw more power from the external PCIe power connectors instead of the PCIe slot on the motherboard.

Customers find the graphics card performs well, with one noting it almost doubles performance, and they appreciate its quiet operation, good cooling, and attractive appearance. They consider it good value for money, particularly for high to ultra graphics in games. However, the driver quality receives negative feedback, with multiple customers reporting crashes and poor performance. The size is also a concern, with customers noting it's very big.

First AMD GPU I've owned and ZERO regrets! AMD Value is wonderful!
Couldn't be happier, the most taxing games I've got is Metro Exodus, COD Warzone, and Beam NG, all on ultra settings I can hold a solid 100fps on a 1080p@65HZ monitor with V sync off. Turning it on gives a great game play and yes with some work you can in fact Ray Trace within the software but it takes a lot of FPS to achieve it. I wanted a 1440P@120hz card for the future and testing that on my tv with high graphic settings will hold about 85-100 in most areas of the games. Depending on what settings are on you can get it higher but this meets my goals personally as ill be stuck with 1080 for at least the next year. Either way very happy, this 5700XT equates my buddy's 1080TI in the games we play together. I haven't tried overclocking above MSI's settings yet but I'm sure it can be improved even more. This card will get warm, I suggestion changing the fan control settings to keep the fans on and moving air constantly so you don't get a stagnant air pocket around the card or worse...heat-soak. If its hot and you get a sudden demand you can thermal throttle quickly but also shorten the component life. Eventually I may water cool it but top temps I've seen with a custom fan control us like 68*C under load and 34*C at idle, where stock I noticed 80* and idle would hang around 60*. Take some time to adjust and performance will be better. I couldn't imagine the AMD stock blower cooler on this... the dual fan and shroud MSI built is a great design overall, very impressed but make sure you measure your case!!! This is a big boy card!!! Your not gonna fit this in your MATX HP pavilion without hacking the case.

I have no idea what Gamers Nexus were thinking when they gave this card the Most Average card award. First of all it's gorgeous with it's beastly mass and RGB light ( and huge )... but the card doesn't sag down at all and look ridiculous like most large cards.
Secondly, this card is basically silent. Running 3D Mark, GPU core temp hovers around 67, junction never seen above 82. The only cooling I have are 3 Corsair RGB fans in the front). Haven't seen fan speed go above 1300 RPM. Under 60 fans shut off entirely. There is also virtually no coil whine whatsoever, the most faintest buzzing can be heard, but it is just barely audible, and this is only during gaming.
My last card the 5700 XT Mech was really rough out of the box, the fan literally sounded like a hair dryer and it got HOT. Stay away from that card. I guess it can be tweaked some to fix some issues but I don't want to have to tweak something I want it to be amazing out of the box, and this Gaming X card is.
Both the Mech card and a 2060 Super I had had seriously bad coil whine. This Gaming X is hugely better. I am honestly blown away by the quality and performance of this card in every possible way.
Hats off to MSI for engineering such a badass card. Did not like the Mech variant though. Highly recommend this one.

Pro: Great Performance, Thermals and Design. Getting around 50-60 fps high in Cyberpunk with a fairly stable Overclock. Temps never exceed ~85C even with overclocking.
Cons (what everyone looks at) :Very hefty and covers you CMOS and first PCI E express card. I know this because I had to remove the CMOS in order to reset BIOS. When Overclocking it is prone to crashing, and when I tried to Overclock my DDR4 RAM using XMP my system crashed and I had to remove the CMOS, which has covered by this card. It is also very heavy and flexes a little if your MOB is cheap.
