What we don't like about ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC

  • Initial manufacturing defect involving loose/long screws that led to poor mounting pressure and overheating.
  • Premium price point that often significantly exceeds the base MSRP for RX 5700 XT cards.
  • Massive physical size (305mm length) makes it incompatible with many compact PC cases.
  • High power consumption compared to competitors, requiring a minimum 600W PSU and dual 8-pin connectors.
  • Limited overclocking headroom due to aggressive factory settings already pushing the card's limits.

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC is a high-end graphics card built on AMD’s 7nm RDNA architecture, featuring 2,560 stream processors and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. Designed for 1440p dominance, this model boasts a substantial factory overclock with a boost clock of up to 2,035 MHz and a 2.7-slot cooling system equipped with triple Axial-tech fans and MaxContact technology for superior thermal transfer. Key pros include exceptional cooling performance compared to reference models, a dual BIOS for performance or quiet operation, and premium build quality with a reinforced frame and Aura Sync RGB lighting. However, common cons include its massive footprint that may cause sag, a significantly higher price tag than other 5700 XT variants, and increased power requirements needing dual 8-pin connectors and a 600W power supply.
