MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Evoke OC Edition tested – butter or margarine on bread? | English Review

The MSI RX 5700 Evoke OC Edition was deliberately placed by MSI below the Gaming and Gaming X models in order to be able to operate significantly cheaper on the market. In and of itself, such an endeavour is also very praiseworthy, whereby of course it always depends on where the manufacturer has set the red pen and has to save in order to really hit the price point customer-effectively. That's exactly what we want to test and question today.

With our tests, I can now finally use the new laboratory, which makes many things easier and better for me. But we will write a walkthrough article in due time. By the way, I would like to point out already at the beginning that I was (and am) in connection with MSI in the course of the tests concerning a modified BIOS with lower fan speeds. But more about that later in the article

In order to make the whole thing a little clearer and to get to the point a little bit more, I have kept the structure of the articles to a large extent, but now I rely more on tables with clear representation of the result values and specifications, which later also guarantee a better comparison of the cards among themselves.

 

 

Technical data and picture gallery

This time the design is visually very MSI-untypical, but that's why we have the picture gallery:

Matching the promised overview of the most important features:

Rear mounting depth (board to outside of backplate) 0.5 cm
Weight 885 g
Shroud Gold Metallic
ABS injectioning
No LED
Connectors 3x DisplayPort 1.4

Special Features none

GPU-Z provides us with an initial overview of the other technical data:

The table gives a nice overview of the remaining technical data of the current and older comparison models:
