This or $590 for 2060 super?
spend a bit more and get the 5700xt which will perform the same and sometimes better than a 2070 super.
This!
See this Reddit post - this can be flashed to a 5700xt and performs basically the same. It's been true of my recent AMD cards… I have a Vega56 atm that I've flashed to Vega64 bios and it benchmarks at Vega64 levels.

Pay for a 5700 and get a 5700xt!
Came here to post the exact same things.
The spec sheet for this card say it's only got a single 8-pin so hopefully that isn't a issue, check the thread as someone mentioned it
It will be close to a 5700xt, but it has fewer cores, and also 1 less phase for power delivery. So with tweaking you might be able to beat a stock XT, but a tweaked XT should be beating the tweaked non-XT every day of the week.
edit - I realized that I'm not actually sure about the power delivery for this specific model. The reference 5700 has 1 less phase than the reference 5700XT. This model may have the same power delivery between the two though.
Flashing the card can potentially brick it and also voids the warranty.
Anyone competent enough to flash a card knows this already
@kapone: Still a valid point. You don't need to browse forums for long to find someone with a tale of woes from trying to get 110% from their CPU/GPU.
Where graphics cards are concerned IMO I'd say buy the performance you need now, and have the OC/flash option up your sleeve for 2+ years later when your demand on the GPU may be higher, and your card has proven itself, is out of warranty and worth a fraction of the price etc…
They been doing this since at least the 6970
More than $100 more than the reference 5700, and only $5 cheaper than the reference 5700xt. That's a hell of a price hike for a better cooler.
Reference 5700 doesn't really have temperature issues - it isn't great, but it isn't throttling or out of spec. If you're set on a custom 5700, I'd wait. But really, I think the temperature issues are blown out of proportion.
I'd personally just undervolt and/or do the washer fix at this price. No point paying a boatload for a "better" cooler.
I say it like that because this card needs a thermal pad replacement to cool better anyways…
Custom cooled 5700XTs need to be under $500, hopefully once Vega inventory clears and 5700XT stock improves.
but you can get the 5700XT blower style for around this price?
Surely the xt with a bit more noise would still perform better?
This would be cheaper if my maths (and by that I mean calculator)skills are decent.
That one's at a level I'd actually consider buying….Although still at $80 more then the cheapest reference.
i cant trust msi after that evoke card
