RX 5700XT 50th Anniversary - Poor 4 years ago.

— not a good value, opt for a partner RX 5700 xt. these are the listed flaws with this card: 1. its a very small performance boost for a $50 premium. 2. partner RX 5700 xt cards have a better performance gain for less and with a better cooling solution. 3. the terrible blower fan cooling layout can actually DECREASE performance compared to the RX 5700 xt, because of the higher temperatures. and here is the only good thing about this card: it has a cool shroud. overall, don't buy this card, instead, get a partner RX 5700 xt.

— amazing value competing with the RX 500 Polaris series from AMD. it runs on the Turing architecture, but without RTX, so you still get the Nvenc encoder for streaming. An amazing card for 1080p eSports rig, when paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. though it does have some competition from the newly released RX 5600 xt, which has the rDNA 7nm architecture, and PCIe gen4 support.

Radeon-VII - Terrible 4 years ago.

— discontinued, this video card was supposed to be directed towards creatives. and it delivered... blue screens. error codes. high fan noises, from the TRIPLE fan layout. discontinuation after 5 months. the 2080 SUPER being priced the same, with higher performance and hardware-accelerated ray-tracing. no PCIe gen4. and the list goes on. the only good things about it are the high memory, new 7nm architecture, and 1TB/s memory bandwidth. and for the high price of $841 (at the time of writing [probably increased by the discontinuation]), just buy the 2080 SUPER.

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
