**UPDATE 2** Chrome going black is not related to the RX 5700 Challenger. My Sapphire Card is doing it in another PC. Most likely a driver issue, going to reload both systems. But I can say for now that I RECOMMEND the Challenger Card if the Pulse is not available!
@@NIXIEPIXIE I just think it's worth a try (worked for me in the past). Spending 15 seconds to change a setting box from on to off in his browser, instead of moving GFX cards between PCs and faffing about with drivers. :)
@@BigHeadTech I'd rather listen to you give more details as well. You earned another sub because of it. This was my first video of yours that I've seen. Good luck growing the channel.
So it looks like the Pulse is a better cooler, but the Challenger is a true 2 slot cooler (versus the Pulse which is slightly greater than 2 slots; a potential problem for my Mini-ITX build). I ordered the Challenger 5700 XT a few days ago because it's a true 2 slot and the warranty on the Asrock card is three years versus two years on the Sapphire. Thanks for making me feel more confident about my purchase! Your review is the first that I've been able to find for this card!
**UPDATE** Chrome going black appears to be a driver issue. When installed without the latest driver, chrome is working. Will report back more when able!
Is not a driver issue is windows issues it happen with Nvidias too. N once that happens on Nvidias cards u are screw Only to fix is to install new windows. Uninstall driver won't fix it Or ddu or w/e u tried
Hey Steve the new mic paid off! Nice video, the good thing about not being able to afford a 5700(xt) right now is there's lots of time for the cards to mature and get a good video buildup for me to pick from when I make my choice.
Thanks for the review! Appreciate the scientific method used and your personal touch. With how big the diff in temperature is versus the pulse, I wonder if the two 8-pins on a non-xt could be an ace in their sleeve with power or fan tinkering. Also it's a true 2-slot card and as of this review, one of few alternatives to the reference design.
Hello, I am researching about this card and your review comes up, thank you very much for that. The reason for posting here is to give you a hint about chrome issue, since I have same problem with my AMD graphics cards 270X, Rx560 and Rx580, swapping cards or BIOS modifications, chrome goes black, the easy solution is to clean chrome's cache, I use CCleaner for that. Be well a keep the good work.
Nice video :) Is the ASRock a lot noisier than the Sapphire one? And would you reckon that it's worth buying the ASRock one for a 20% cheaper price than Sapphire?
@@BigHeadTech here in italy they have the same price. Sveirok asked if it is "a lot noiser" but my question is...since they have the same price which one is more silent?
Seems like a solid choice over the reference cooler but not better than Shappire. Im going to buy the 5700 to replace my rx570 and wait for the best card of the second gen RDNA since Im only playing Re2.
Hi, im at just one click to buy this card... it is good? bugs are fixed? it its worth??? or i should go for a asus rtx 2060? thanks for the video!!! its the only one reviewing this card!
This card have a memory cooling issue - i'm using this card sometimes for mining and it always freezes my system, because temperature go to 104 celsius on RAM...
Hello thank you for review. But i don t understand some things can u tell me temperature in i don t know new game when card run on 100%? Because i cannot find it in video :/ and speed of fans :3-please :)
I just got this card and have nothing but problems. Idk if its the drivers still or what but im only getting 100fps on all low settings on csgo when my old gtx 970 would almost get 200
The thing looks absolutely terrible but I got it for 300 exactly. Amazing value but they should fire the person who designed the flimsy bumble bee themed shell
I just bought this yesterday for linux build. 3700x gigabyte x570 board and the fans don't run much. Most of the time the fans don't spin???Anybody know anything about this
What kind of temps do you have in game? Mine is reaching 90+ current temp and 110 junction on WattMan :( I don t know if it s faulty or what to do... :(
Sorry to be bother, but does the latest update fix the temp and fan problems ? This is the only GPU i can afford so I wanna be 100% sure its worth the money
