Summary

Now, of course, I could throw superlatives around me and find everything quite great, but always nice in turn, because a list is also worthwhile here. Purely visually, the whole thing is ok, you have to like the fat appearance and the long and heavy card must also fit to and into the system. If all this is given and you are also not completely averse to LED effects, then you could also use this AMD card with peace of mind.

That with the Silent-BIOS is a great idea and you lose less performance than you feared. If you are actually on the level of the RX 5700 without XT in terms of power consumption, the performance is still much higher. In OC mode, the Navi chip is allowed to show what it can do. And if you're not on RTX On, you can buy a real joy donor for cheap money, which never torments your ears excessively, even in full-pull mode.

The board is neatly, albeit cheaply equipped. The one with the 10 voltage transformer circuits has at least in the partial load range with high FPS numbers (e.g. in the menus of the games) a nice effect, even if it looks more martial than the card with an experimental OC at all, together with the two 8-pin connectors for the power supply. Sure, even with our MorePowerTool something is still possible and the 2 GHz are certainly in it. But do you really need that? It is important that the card runs and does not suck.

Conclusion

You could also have given the purchase tip, because if you want to buy the big Navi card and have enough space, you are welcome to access it (and almost without hesitation)! Especially since the EIA of 449 euros including VAT hardly hinders the whole thing, if the card really arrives in the trade.  After all, you get the power of a GeForce RTX 2070 (and sometimes super) for the price of a GeForce RTX 2060 Super. Nevertheless, the award is higher in one class, because the technical implementation leaves almost nothing to be desired.

If you can do without ray tracing, play mainly in WQHD, can look forward to a modern driver interface and in return tolerate the frickeligen Wattman as a nonchalant tool, he has no reason to regret buying such a card. That I would write this about an AMD board partner card, which in the last years were rather unemotionally tinkered with by the board partners, I wouldn't have dreamed before the test. So now it has happened.
