Pretty impressed with how the 5700XT has held up.

Should have done it 3-4 months ago when values were much better..I've been thinking of selling my 5700xt to someone that might be able to use it more than I am.
well I suck.Should have done it 3-4 months ago when values were much better..
You're likely thinking about Polaris. Navi10 was released during a crypto bear market cycle. Probably the last time we saw plentiful gpu stock at msrp (2019).Unfortunately, just as it was with the Litecoin explosion during the Hawaii/Tahiti generation, supply was short and prices were inflated.
I remember quite a few people bemoaning that it didn't have flagship performance without looking at the actual design to realize it wasn't a flagship card.Was there ever any doubt about the 5700 XT?
My big issues/bugs were that I couldn't have two monitors with different resolutions connected for some reason. Every time I put on a game, both monitors gave a black screen and I'd have to hard reset the comp. Literally everytime.There was an annoying driver bug with the 5700XT where it would not idle the RAM clock (w/ 34" monitors). That made it run a bit hotter at idle, causing the card to ramp up the fans just a bit. I found it super annoying in my quiet PC.
Sold the 5700XT ref for $950 shipped on eBay last October. Been super happy with the 3060ti that replaced it. Granted, I did pay $620 for the 3060ti at the time, but still a good deal IMO.
The 3060ti (Gigabyte aftermarket cooler) runs cool enough to where the fans are completely off at idle.
My wife got a free upgrade to a waterblocked 6700xt with a bit of profit on top thanks to her 5700xt.I sold my 5700XT a year ago for $675. Initially purchased in late 2019 for $420.
Decent investment in my opinion
I'm recalling the Litecoin hype. I was in the market for a video card at the time and the 290X was selling for USD $800+ directly from retailers despite a SEP of $549. I settled on a GTX 780 because those were readily available at the MSRP of $499 at CompUSA at the time. I would have preferred a 290X.You're likely thinking about Polaris.

It was in reference you your comment about the short supply of Navi10/5700xt. Stock was plentiful. Crypto prices were in the tank and there was almost 0 mining demand which meant there was plenty of stock, at msrp.I'm recalling the Litecoin hype.

Time to pop that cherry.Found a brand new one in storage last week. I don't think it has ever been put into a system.
