If you want powerful graphics card that's good enough for 2K gaming at high settings , a card that's powered by AMD's RX 5700 XT chip is a great choice. Before the holiday tech deals season, it was difficult to find an RX 5700 XT card for less than $400, but now we're seeing some good sales.
Right now, Newegg has the MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Mech OC card for $369, reduced from $419 by a coupon code (VGASAV43Z) and a $30 mail-in rebate. The dual-fan card has a base clock of 1,670 MHz and a boost clock of 1,925 MHz, which is 180 MHz more than the 5700 XT reference card can achieve.
Like other RX 5700 XT cards, the MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Mech OC comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. It features three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and a single HDMI 2.0 port.
The card also comes with some nice software extras. You get three months of Xbox Game Pass and your choice of Borderlands 3 or Tom's Clancy's Ghost Recond Breakpoint.
The RTX 5090's GB202 GPU will reportedly be the largest desktop chip from Nvidia since 2018 coming in at 744mm-squared — 22% larger than AD102 on the RTX 4090
Top-end and mid-range RTX 50-series cards are rumored to launch in early 2025, and entry-level cards to follow later — RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 up first
