I have been using twin GTX 970 cards by EVGA since I first pieced my tower together back five years ago which got me by just fine until Nvidia stopped supporting SLI for my cards & 1080p on my 144hz ASUS monitor suddenly didn't pan out for the latest generation of games. I was recently gifted COD Modern Warfare 2019 & I was finally unable to play a game at my minimum standard of 60fps with all the bells and whistles. So here I am floating between a 2070 Super and the RX 5700 XT as my next card and 1440p HDR as my next tier of graphical enjoyment. After several reviews & some YT videos covering just about everything I needed to know about the current industry & what it came down to for me was a $100+ difference for less than ten percent margin on frame-rates plus Ray Tracing which to me seems to be a nice perk though limited in support right now = not cost effective IMO. It's been a long time since I used a non-Nvidia based card actually since ATI had the All-in-Wonder card series and before AMD took over. I've been eyeing putting together an AMD rig since the new Ryzen processors had been introduced & I figured now might be a decent time to do just that. How I came about buying the XFX brand of RX 5700 XT card is by viewing their portfolio of hardware and reading the reviews offered. I wanted to pick up their newest card which is the XFX RX 5700 XT Thicc III Ultra but my local Best Buy didn't carry it and I needed a card tonight so I can play my gifted game with friends and family so I picked up the XFX RX 5700 XT RAW II. I am sure I will be happy with it even though deep down inside I know what I really wanted was the Thicc III Ultra... oh well. Hahaha!! Included are a couple of pictures of my EVGA Sli cards before & their XFX replacement as evidence to my situation.
