ASRock Announces First Custom Radeon RX 5700 Challenger Series Graphics Cards – Ditches Reference Blower For Dual Fan Design, Huge Factory Overclock
The ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Challenger has 2560 stream processors which are clocked at 1650 MHz base, 1795 MHz Game and 1905 MHz Boost clocks.
Thing is, my RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary has faster stock clocks (1680, 1830, 1930) and is much quieter than the 3 fan cards I've owned. In use, my "AMD GPU tachometer" showed over 2000 MHz at times (stock).
I'm not selling them. But, authors seem to be selling the reference models short.
My new build (Ryzen 7 3800X, RX 5700XT 50th, Gigabyte 570X mb) is virtually done. I'm testing and test gaming. More "upside" than I expected, so far.
Chart price is $50 higher than current list price.
