And what is another episode off?

Sunday, Tector.

Today, the tech we're talking about is this.

This is the Radio Rx 5700 and it was the cheapest one I could find on the market.

It's a second hand car from the Amazon warehouse deal with section of the Amazon site, and I paid £272 for it around £50 cheaper than you can expect to find one of these brand new Now some of you would probably rather pay the extra for a brand new card in peace of mind.

But you know, I'm a here on this channel.

I like to take risks.

I like to purchase second hand hold way, just for the thrill of it, because it always intrigues me is toe what we get in the box, whether anything's missing, how bad is that car damaged both externally and internally, and is everything working as it should?

Sometimes I like to take these risks so that you don't have to anyway, For those of you who watched yesterday's video, you've already seen this in action, but a Redbox that again for reconstructive purposes And today I want to talk about what actually got with this by and explore some of the things that I've heard about the Rx 5700.

Is it'll that loud?

Is this one particularly Now, is that what got returned?

Who knows?

But let's get it open.

Check out on Duh.

Yeah.

So immediately I noticed that the box was a little beaten up, which is sometimes the case, regardless of item condition.

It seems to be a compromise one must accept around my hometown.

When expecting an Amazon delivery, I don't think they dropped the parcels off by van.

They just kick them out the door of the Medway depot and all the way down the M two.

Let's open up the box then.

Now it seems we have all or most of the original accessories.

I don't have anything to compare it to, but the M s I thank you called Drivers and installation manual are all here under the foam padding.

We have the Rx 5700 itself.

I really like reference design style cards with the blower fan.

I know they can be notoriously loud and run warmer than other multi found counterparts.

But I guess they just remind me of older hardware, which I still very much enjoy.

It seems like blower style callers are a design standard turned tradition.

The card itself is in like new condition, with a small scratch on the front that even the camera struggles to pick up on.

We've got all the connection protection still in place.

That's the name I give those little rubber bits.

That going the HD Am I in display ports?

This card is based on the Navy 10 GPU, and from what I've read in other reviews, it seems to be ideal for those wanting a decent 14 40 p gaming solution up there with the likes of Tin Greens.

Artie X, 2060 Super I think for the money, the 5700 seems like a good card.

But is my 5700 good card?

Well, let's put it in the test system and find out.

You know the deal used graphics cards are riskier purchase.

I'm always willing to absorb the loss if anything goes wrong as its part in parcel of having a TEC channel.

But you should always read return policy details and any warranty info carefully.

Amazon tend to be very good with the returns.

Every time I've had an issue, it's always been resolved in a timely fashion.

But the whole return refund in replaced thing will depend on where you buy from.

With that sort of disclaimer out the way, let's see if the cold works as it should.

The first thing I did was head over to aim these Web site to download the latest available drivers for my operating system, in this case, Windows 10.

If a GPU initially works the moment you plug it into your system, then the next test of its condition is the driver installation.

I've had a few cards fail specifically after installing the drivers, so initially it seems as though everything's fine and then bam black screen.

Luckily, our 5700 surpassed this test with flying colors and all seems as it should.

Thus far.

Some reviewers said the card was very noisy.

Other said it wasn't too bad.

I've got mine in this little cooler master case, which doesn't have the best breathing room, so the card is probably a little warmer than it would be in a big 80 ex enclosure a woman card, of course, means higher fan speeds.

When idle, the cards sits at 34 degrees, with the default fan speed off 24%.

This is how it sounds from 30 centimeters away, a reading taken much closer than you'd actually sit from your system.

It's quite a 30 decibels, and in fact I could hear the rising stock cooler worrying up over the noise of the GPU fan.

But it's not as quiet as an aftermarket card that would use software to stop the fans all together at low temps.

I then ran the Heaven benchmark ultra settings and observed a maximum temperature of 70 degrees, with an increase in noise to 44 decibels.

It's a laudable but no annoying.

And from what I can tell, it seems about right in comparison to what other reviewers say.

Luckily, there's no oddity so far with this second hand offering, and I don't think these sort of noise levels would have been the reason that someone sent it back.

So always seems well with the cards so far, and now we must check out the gaming performance.

In all honesty, I experienced a strange full screen ditch with this GPU yesterday, but one that seemed to be resolved since I reinstalled the card in a different system.

When choosing full screen, the card would try and run.

The game's in a strange and unsupported resolution, something like 24 01 by 18 63.

As a result, the monitor sent out and no signal message.

I have read about some driver issues, so it's not an isolated case that this could have been the reason why the original owner returned it.

After all, the last thing someone wants to see when they fire up their favorite game is a black screen are in a few games at various resolutions.

Just to try and see if I could replicate this issue and, of course, to check out performance off the card, starting with Battlefield five here at four k with the X 12.

And as you can see, the 5700 does a nice job.

As I switched a 14 40 p, I was getting closer to the dreaded 10 80 p test, which was the one that caused the issue yesterday.

But so far at these high resolutions, the card seems to be doing a decent job, and we haven't run into any graphical issues here.

However, making that switch to 1920 by 10 80 once again replicated the issues I faced yesterday.

I thought I had eradicated the issue here, but I guess no, because everything else is fine.

I have to assume that at this point it could just be a driver problem or a problem with the HD my port, as this resolution through the display port worked just fine.

It's still relatively early days, after all, even setting a custom resolution to try and force the GPU to maintain 10 80 p throug h d m.

I didn't work anyway.

The same thing occurred at 10 80 p in every other game, too.

But the 14.

40 p and 2160 p performance remained fine and consistent.

I'll be carrying out for benchmark tests with both this card and the rise in CPU in another video, because I want to talk about the system I built and why I built it in more detail, as well as how I saved some money here and there.

I still try to squeeze in a few tests today, though, despite my awful driving in dirt rally to the car's still performed as it should.

At this point, I'm pretty much convinced it's a drive of problem.

It's still early days for Navid.

10.

This is probably the newest GPU I've owned as well, to be honest, and I haven't seen many about on the used market yet.

But certain outlets like Amazon or other online retailers can sometimes provide an opportunity to save a few quid on returned or open box items.

I'd like to reiterate that four peace of mind.

I'm sure many of you would rather spend the extra, but just know that it's no impossible to find deals on even the newest off hard way, though it certainly won't be for everybody.

With all that said and done, I hope you enjoyed this.

Look at what seemed to be at the time of purchase the cheapest Rx 5700 on the market, a car that I'm very happy with, and one that surprised me in terms off specifics like noise levels, for example.

Some reviews led me to believe that this was going to be a very loud card, but I found that even under gaming situations, it really isn't extremely audible with all, it seems quieter than the 10 80 G one that I previously owned on dhe.

It also seems quite a bit quieter than the Vega 56 as well, and it consumes far less power, something like 160 watts, on average.

When gaming.

I don't even like to think about what the Vega was doing to my electricity bill.

No, I couldn't resist ending the video without throwing in Metro Exodus.

Here I'm playing through the opening level, and, of course, the frame rate may differ depending on where you are.

But I just had to test this out.

As Metro Exodus seems to be the game at the moment.

In terms off how it pushes GP use and CP used to their limit, you can see that the rise and five is handling it just fine on the GPU.

Even at 14 40 p here is running at 95 to 100%.

Most of the time, that's totally normal.

It just means that we are getting the most out of our graphics card here, and I'd say that the CPU is a good pairing for it.

However, I'll have more on that tomorrow when I run a few more benchmarks with these two in my new personal rig.

So all that's left to say is I hope you enjoyed this video lever, like on it.

If you did leave a dislike.

If you didn't let me know if you would have purchased one of these cards at this price point or what else you'd go forward you up for the 2060 something like that.

And hopefully I'll see you all in the next one.
