Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT Limited Edition

  • Excellent thermal performance with a massive triple-fan cooler that keeps temperatures significantly lower than the reference design.
  • Whisper-quiet operation, especially when utilizing the 'Silent' BIOS profile.
  • High-quality build with a sturdy metal shroud and a premium metal backplate featuring RGB lighting.
  • The Limited Edition bundle includes valuable extras like a custom RGB mouse pad.
  • Features a Dual BIOS switch, allowing users to easily toggle between high performance and quiet modes.
  • Impressive 1440p gaming performance, often outperforming the reference card and competing well with more expensive alternatives.

What we don't like about PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT Limited Edition

  • AMD driver stability has been a common point of frustration, with some users reporting crashes or unoptimized performance.
  • The card is physically very large (2.5 to 3 slots thick), which may cause clearance issues in smaller PC cases.
  • Higher power consumption compared to the reference model and some NVIDIA rivals when in OC mode.
  • Limited Edition carries a price premium over the standard Red Devil for mostly aesthetic/accessory additions.
  • No hardware support for Ray Tracing, which may be a drawback for users looking for more modern lighting features.

Verdict

The PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT Limited Edition is a high-performance graphics card built on AMD’s 7nm RDNA architecture, featuring 2,560 stream processors and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448 GB/s bandwidth. This variant is factory-overclocked to a 1,770 MHz base clock, 1,905 MHz game clock, and a boost clock of up to 2,010 MHz. Its robust 10-phase VRM design supports over 300W of power delivery, while a massive 300mm triple-fan cooler with five copper heat pipes ensures low temperatures. Key pros include exceptional thermal management, nearly silent operation via Dual BIOS (OC and Silent modes), and premium aesthetics with customizable RGB lighting. However, it is a large triple-slot card that requires a 700W power supply and two 8-pin connectors, and it lacks hardware-based ray tracing support found in newer architectures.
