The XFX DD Ultra implementation of the RX 5700 has recently arrived in our labs, which features a massive cooling solution; will the card be able to surpass the Red Dragon RX 5700 or we’ll get other kinds of surprises? Let’s dig in and see what we’ve got!

The DD Ultra card implementation does feature dual 100mm fans, 8GB of GDDR6 memory and the same Radeon RX 5700 GPU with 2304 active shader processors. This model packs a base clock of 1565Mhz, a Game Clock of 1720MHz, while the Boost is set at 1750MHz. As all the cards tested before, the RAM runs at stock speed (14 Gbps), which renders a total bandwidth of 448GB/s.

The card is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard box, with the now-familiar XFX box art; right from the top area we will get to see a photo of the card cooling system, along with some of the main highlights:
