XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Ultra THICC III Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2019-11-07

XFX did listen to user feedback and watched closely the competition after the release of the THICC II card and the end result is quite amazing: we are getting a well designed package that features the same attractive shroud elements, three new fans that are able to spin under 500RPM under low GPU load but also a revised heatsink. The new heatsink comes with a copper interposer for the memory that helps drop temperatures considerably, while keeping the whole package TGP at values of over 260W. Besides the high-quality fans, the card BIOS has been tuned for low RPMs under load so the THICC III won’t really bother you in terms of acoustics while playing the latest games.

A Closer Look Part II

Ultra THICC III does feature a three-fan cooling system and an even larger heatsink, for allowing proper dissipation. The fans are not the same in size, the left and right one being 90mm fans, while the one in the middle being 100mm in size:

Each fan does have an XFX chromed logo in the middle, while the frames are chromed as well:

On the side of the cards, we do have plastic frames with cut-outs in the region of the heatsinks; the margins are chromed for a premium look as well:

In the back, the card does come with a chromed grille, which looks like an element taken from old American hot-rod cars:

On the I/O, we have three DisplayPort 1.4 ports but also one HDMI 2.0b; the metallic shroud also comes with a nice XFX logo, so people will know that you are packing in your system an XFX video card even if the inside of the system is not easily accessible for viewing:

The bottom layer of the PCB is fully covered by an XFX-branded backplate and is continued by a black plastic frame:

In the GPU area, we are seeing four spring-loaded screws, that hold the copper plate in place:

This card does require power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors:
