When I took a look at both the AMD RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT at their launch I was extremely impressed with their performance and the price point that AMD was aiming for. While I normally like blower coolers, the reference/blower cooling on both of the RX 5700 cards had a really hard time keeping up with thermals causing both heat and noise issues. Because of that, I have been excited to get my hands on aftermarket cards to see how they could potentially improve on things. Well today's the day, Asus sent over their RX 5700 Strix and today I’m going to check out what the card has to offer in both features and performance. So let’s dive in and see what sets it apart from the reference design!

I always take a look at GPU-Z to confirm that the listed specifications for the card match what I am seeing. GPUz is still having some issues with showing clock speeds, but the boost clock lines up with Asus’s specifications. You can also see what BIOS version the card has and the driver I did my testing on which was the now old 19.8.1 (I did this testing pre-vacation).
