Radeon Rx 5700 Xt Custom Modelle

XFX's custom Radeon RX 5700 XT is dressed to impress

Custom models of AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT and 5700 graphics cards are still difficult to come by, but in that location does exist a agglomeration of models that eschew the reference cooler for spiffier designs. One of them comes from XFX, and boy, exercise the renders look fancy.

Granted, press renders have a tendency to creepo upward the aesthetics, but if XFX's Radeon RX 5700 XT Thicc Ii looks anything close to the renders, it might exist the sleekest option around (PowerColor's Red Devil and Dragon models are looking hot too, only in a different style).

Here's another await:

The overall design looks similar to the Founders Edition shroud Nvidia uses on its GeForce RTX series. It'due south non a carbon copy, though, with curved edges and shiny metal accents in certain places, such as around the fans.

Living up to its "Thicc II" branding, it's also a chunky card—it occupies 2.7 slots, which is finer three expansion slots. The added girth makes room for at heastink that is 90 percentage larger, according to XFX. Four 6mm blended heatpipes snake through, an a pair of fans provide agile cooling, while running 35 percent quieter (compared to reference, presumably).

Interestingly, XFX has chosen not to manufacturing plant overclock this model. Instead, it sticks to AMD's reference clocks: one,605MHz (base), 1,755MHz (game), and 1,905MHz (heave). We imagine the beefy cooling solution would yield a scrap of overclocking headroom, but of course that kind of thing is never guaranteed.

It's not clear when this carte du jour will be available or for how much. Equally points of reference, a handful of custom 5700 XT listings on Newegg range in price from $409.99 (opens in new tab) to $449.99 (opens in new tab) (all of which are out of stock).

In his off fourth dimension, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only one of those is true).
