I've been price monitoring this for my new m-itx build and this is the lowest it's been:
https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07WC7683C

Cheaper than any local AU shops that I could find:
http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=sapphire+5700xt…

Mwave $749 - https://www.mwave.com.au/product/sapphire-radeon-pulse-rx-57…
PCCG $779 - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/47782/sapphire-radeon-rx…

Won't get into the technical stuff but this is arguably the king of mid-range cards. Performs better than its similar priced Nvidia competitors (2060s and 2070).

EDIT: Please note delivery estimate is 6-7 July, so that's roughly a month's wait if you can put up with it.

Edit 16/6: Price increase from $637.62 to $649.44 (partly/mostly currency fluctuation)

Edit 13/7: Price drop from $649.44 to $641.69 (currency fluctuation, changing continually)

Edit 22/7: Price drop from $641.69 to $635.47

    Amazing card… I'm guessing a few people would be interested since the min price on shops such as Mwave and PCCasegear is $699

        Thanks for the post! I'm also looking at a new Ryzen build.

        The Gigabyte 5700XT OC also has good reviews and is going for $650 on Amazon. I'm planning to use a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard so this may be a noob question but would it be more stable for the system to use a GPU card from the same manufacturer or does it not matter? I'm a bit concerned with all the driver issues mentioned online for 5700xt Radeon cards…

            @HaveANiceDay: Thanks. That's decision made then. Cheaper price for a better card than I was eyeing.

            It's looking like an Amazon build as I got the Ripjaw V 32g ram in yesterday's Amazon deal for $192. Waiting for the next Ryzen CPU deal now!

          Sometimes there will be incompatiblities. Though it has reduced a lot since the last few years, it’s still better to google model numbers of the board with gpu just to be sure.

          Try and wait for B550 chipset motherboards series which releases next week.

          For your question, it really does not matter much. What you need to make sure is your components are compatible according to system spec and won’t bottleneck each other.

          well a 2080Ti is $2k, so if you define mid-range by price then in fact it's below mid-range.

            @plentifoo: Rolls-Royce Phantom is $1M so by your reasoning a $500k car is mid-range.

              @Scrooge McDuck: i'm using neither. i'm writing in response to the word 'mid-range', which can be used to quantify several things and not just an average.

              the original intended word mid-range was used to describe graphical performance in this deal, but it took on another meaning when you applied a dollar value to it.

    • plentifoo on 10/06/2020 - 14:55

      This anyday. Look up reviews. The XFX is underclocked too 200mhz base to make up for its less than ideal cooling design.

      https://old.reddit.com/r/XFX/comments/gcsvo3/new_xfx_rx_5700…

      • arkhon on 10/06/2020 - 15:01

        Awesome. Just ordered one.

      • MrQ88 on 10/06/2020 - 16:04

        Thats the II design.

        The XFX III are the best cards/coolers out of all the 5700XT based on Tech of Tomorrows video review comparison.

        • plentifoo on 10/06/2020 - 16:09

          This isn't even the thic. This is a different design cooler altogether.

          even if we were talking about the THIC III, it's still debatable whether it's better than the Sapphire:
          https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/e3bt9v/xfx_5700_x…

          • Navanod66 on 10/06/2020 - 16:25

            @plentifoo: The XFX thicc III Ultra is a compelling choice as it has supposedly fixed all is problems with II and is at the Nitro+ tier but priced at the Pulse's.

            Also, it would go really well in a dark themed build…

            I'm planning to slowly collect parts for the next build and it's probably best to wait for B550, big Navi and end of COVID but damn all these deals are so tempting

            +2

            @plentifoo: Same cooler design, Just the THIC is higher clocked out of the box.

            Well according to ALOT of video reviews, the THIC III is a better card compared to the sapphire, runs cooler and quieter.

            for example:

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEYVC9CLmwk

            https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-radeon-rx-5700-xt-thi…

            Dont get me wrong, the Sapphire pulse is a great card, but if i was to pick between the Sapphire Pulse and THIC III Ultra, I'd get the XFX card due to better cooler for both GPU and Memory.

            • Navanod66 on 10/06/2020 - 18:46

              @MrQ88: The main appeal of the Sapphire cards for me, is the Trixx boost software (the resolution reduction trick to boost fps) and great reviews. But the backplate kinda clashes with the black theme I am going for.
              I'm guessing prices are going to continue falling but kinda worried stock might simply run out!

            • plentifoo on 10/06/2020 - 19:11

              @MrQ88: fairo - i was doing research for a m-itx. this thic card is too thick to fit in my rig. The sapphire also gives me clearance for another 2.5" ssd.

              • MrQ88 on 10/06/2020 - 23:54

                @plentifoo: Yeah, the XFX cards are definitely not M-ATX friendly. You'll need a full ATX or some Mid-atx case are only compatible.
                Prices will drop as RDNA2 cards are due to be released mid-late October…..no confirmation yet.

                But they will be twice the performance with the latest niceties, Ray trace, DLSS etc

      • zrmx on 10/06/2020 - 16:53

        I suppose the length is more the limiting factor here, just when working with the tight space of mITX, the more buffer room there is, the easier it'll be to fit things in when assembling. (It feels so good after everything fits in and assembled though…and then despair when one makes the mistake of not doing POST first and need to troubleshoot ; ;)

        It'll be great if you can let us know when the card arrives =D

    • rambao9 on 10/06/2020 - 15:34

      You're right, it is a 2.5, or more like 2.3 slot card.

      The metal part still sits on two slots but the plastic casing slightly bulges out

      So just make sure the case has the extra headroom to fit in a slightly fatter card.

  • xis123 on 10/06/2020 - 15:43

    Great card - however stock BIOS is way too overvolted & the default fan curve is a bit loud for my liking.

    I would recommend a target boost clock of 1925mhz between 980mv-1020mv set in the Adrenalin Software (Wattman) or lower.

    I currently have this card using 20.5.1 drivers, undervolted to 1850mhz @ 955mv and it's solid for the most part. Small negligible drop in FPS for what is easily a 10-20'c reduction in load temps, which is significant in keeping fan speeds running at a low RPM.
    Boost is almost always >1830mhz which is basically the Game Clock of the reference card. Junction temperatures is within 10'c difference of the GPU Temp.

    My only gripe with the 5700 XT cards is for some reason if you have the display set to 144hz, the memory clock stays fixed at the highest speed. It doesn't downclock at all. But changing it to 120hz works fine, downclocks to 200mhz. It has something to do with the monitor pixel rate I believe.

    The fan noise seems to make an oscillating noise at speeds above 1300RPM which is quite annoying, so try set a fan curve for <29% if you're pedantic like me. The default fan curve has a 0 RPM fan stop profile up until 55'C.

    • Kill Joy on 10/06/2020 - 15:47

      I jsut bought this card.

      For someone who doesnt mind the fan sound, i assume there is no issue to leave it factory overclockd for better performance?

      • scud70 on 10/06/2020 - 15:57
        +3

        there wont be any issue not with the Sapphire card … however the perfomance diff to what Xis123 describes is not noticible in most cases and undervolting in a hot or not well ventilated case or an iTX case is a good idea anyway :)

      • xis123 on 10/06/2020 - 16:29
        +2

        You can leave it as is Kill Joy - although I still would undervolt it.

        By default it's set to 1200mv which is way too high. Even the 'Auto Undervolt' option drops it by 50mv to 1150mv for the same clock speeds.
        So there's definitely room to work with - just find out the lowest point of stability. I am guessing you can easily take 100mv off to 1.1v which would have a noticeable impact on temperatures.

        You can leave the clock speeds as is if you don't wanna compromise on that front too :)

        Undervolting in some cases with a reduction in target clock speeds may even result in higher sustained performance because your card will be able to maintain the boost clock for longer at lower temps!

        It's a great card. And remember, even though it looks nice to daisy-chain 1 PCI-E cable (8+6) to hook up the card, it's always better to use two separate cables :P

      Had mine at 1000mv on 1950mhz. Would hold 1850mhz easily and only drink 113watts. Temps around 60C. Sapphire make good cards.

    • Scrooge McDuck on 10/06/2020 - 16:28

      I have an Asus ROG RX570, the AMD Radeon software won't let me select fan speeds lower than 50 % for any temperature, but the default fan curve has fan stop at idle. How do I use a custom profile with fan stop at idle? I could just set a custom profile for each game and leave the default with fan stop for desktop, but that's hacky.

      most of the issues that this card faced at release were mostly driver related. that's all been resolved now.

      • RecalledItems on 10/06/2020 - 16:43

        I don't think all the driver issues have been resolved mate. It's a whos who with with card you get, and if it'll have problems right out of the gate. Just do a Reddit search this card and you will discover a lot of people still complaining. Obviously there's a bias as people who don't have problems aren't commenting, but still something to watch out for.

        There is at most 5-10% performance difference between the 2070S and 5700XT and that varies especially with games that are nvidia-favored. This card is purely a 1440p card, not 1080p.

      2070s has RTX if you want it, and stronger performance overall. 5700xt cards generally have better frames / dollar spent per say than RTX counterparts but you are gambling with reliability and stability on 5700xt series cards.

        I have heard there are stability issues with the drivers.. and this has been true with AMD/ATI cards for a long time

          Ye but AmD fanboys will keep plastering the amazing specs at dirt cheap pricing

      It converts to $571.46 AUD - and thats not icluding shopping or state taxes that a lot of customers need to pay. So its fairly priced.

      Your second link is a much infurior card.

      • Neggy-Z on 10/06/2020 - 17:52

        Don't forget to add 10% for GST which would bring it up to $630.

        I think a lot of people forget that most states in the USA don't pay any taxes and then forget to include GST when doing the conversion to AUD.

    this or 2060 super?

    • plentifoo on 10/06/2020 - 16:44

      this. can't find any 2060 super on amazon cheaper than this sapphire and the 5700xt consistently beats it in benchmarks as well.

    • beeze on 10/06/2020 - 20:57

      2060S if you can find one at a great price, but deals seem slim. 5700XT should be fairly reliable with drivers nowadays.

  • G-rig on 10/06/2020 - 16:41

    Seems like the prices are getting more reasonable
    Was looking at this one as well, but bought a mate's near new MSI RTX 2060S 8GB for $490
    (he wanted the 2080Ti)
