**A Comprehensive Review of the Custom RX 5700 XT Red Devil Card**

In our latest test, we put the custom RX 5700 XT Red Devil card to the test and were blown away by its performance. The card's clock speeds are impressive, with an average boost of 30-50 MHz above the reference design. However, what really sets it apart is its significant reduction in noise levels and temperature generation.

One of the standout features of the Red Devil card is its quiet operation. When tested under load, the card produces a remarkably loud sound that can be heard for miles. This is a major improvement over other custom variants we've seen, which often produce more noise than expected. The card's cooler design helps to reduce this noise, making it an excellent choice for those who value quiet operation.

But what about temperatures? We put the Red Devil card through its paces with a 4.0 game, and the results were impressive. After running for over 35 minutes, we saw temperatures peak at a relatively cool 70C, which is a significant drop compared to other custom variants we've tested. This cooler design helps to prevent overheating, making it an excellent choice for those who want to push their system to its limits.

The Red Devil card also boasts a unique lighting feature that sets it apart from other custom variants. The card's logo is backlit and can be adjusted using the software provided by the manufacturer. While the color transitions may not be the smoothest, they're still impressive for a custom variant. We were able to configure a variety of lighting effects using the software, including a range of brightness and speed settings.

Another notable feature of the Red Devil card is its ability to handle overclocking. When manually pushed, the GPU core clock can reach speeds of over 1900 MHz, which is significantly faster than the reference design. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of their system.

**A Comparison with the Reference Design**

It's worth noting that our results may not be entirely representative of how this card compares to other custom variants, as we're currently one of the only ones to have tested a custom RX 5700 XT. However, based on our tests, it appears that the Red Devil card is significantly cooler and quieter than the reference design.

In terms of clock speeds, the Red Devil card performs admirably, with an average boost of 30-50 MHz above the reference design. While this may not be as impressive as some other custom variants we've seen, it's still a significant improvement over the stock design.

**Conclusion**

Overall, our experience with the custom RX 5700 XT Red Devil card has been overwhelmingly positive. Its unique lighting feature, cooler design, and improved performance make it an excellent choice for those who want to upgrade their system without sacrificing too much in terms of performance. While we may not have a good frame of reference for how this card compares to other custom variants, our tests suggest that it's significantly cooler and quieter than the reference design.

Whether you're looking to build a new gaming rig or simply upgrade your existing system, the Red Devil card is definitely worth considering. Its unique features, improved performance, and reduced noise levels make it an excellent choice for those who want to take their system to the next level.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou suck my friend you suck and you blow at the same time somehow but that's okay it's just because you're a lowly reference design cooler we understand the GPU inside of you is really awesome we love that and you know it's not all bad the fact that you're such a lousy cooler is what's getting us so excited for all of the custom rx 5700 series cards that are coming out as we speak like this power color Red Devil rx 5700 XT that we're gonna be takin for a world today you know I'm sorry if I was being a little harsh back there you know I'm just I'm just trying to make a point if you really need a shoulder to cry on there's probably someone out there that you can ask so like I mentioned this is power colors Red Devil rx 5700 XT and this is the limited edition that they sent over which means it comes with a mousepad it's like a Red Devil branded mousepad and it retails for 10 bucks more than their standard Edition which is exactly the same it just doesn't come with a mousepad so standard version retails for 430 $9.99 this is 440 999 putting it $50 more expensive than the reference card I think they're only doing one production run of the limited edition and once those are sold out they're gonna start selling the standard ones so if you really want that mousepad act fast with that said let's talk about the actual card starting with how it looks it's got I kind of got this aggressive gamer II look to it I mean you can tell this is a gaming GPU however this side looks a bit more stylized than this side this looks really clean actually and that's good because this is the side that most people will see in a typical build however it doesn't look bad i don't think it's like overly obnoxious like certain cards are especially because the look and feel like the actual materials that they're using feel pretty premium like all the grey that you see on the shroud is actually plastic but it's relatively thick it like hardly wiggles at all it's actually pretty rugged and all the black plating you see is actually metallic which makes the card look and feel a bit more high-end I particularly like the fact that some of the metal wraps around to this side and it kind of just frames out the red double branding here definitely looks nice the card uses a triple fan design these are 90 millimeter ball bearing fans and they are just right off the bat I'll tell you they are much quieter than the single blower style fan that's on the reference card but more on that later my two minor cosmetic gripes here are that the fans are glossy either a bit more reflective which I generally prefer matte and also the stickers are red I mean I get it Red Devil you're going with the branding and stuff but the rest of the card they did such a good job kind of blacking out or neutralizing the color the rest of the card but these stickers are still just kind of an eyesore if you're trying to coordinate a different color scheme with the rest of your setup I mean obviously you can remove the stickers or spray paint over them that's a little extra work for the end user just a nitpick just a little mint pick there what power color definitely did right this time was add RGB so previously red double cards were only red LED lighting I believe but now we can customize the lighting to our hearts content you can see that there's a nice little edge lighting right here I believe the red devil logo also lights up I wasn't really looking at it when I was testing but we'll pop the card on the test bed in a moment you'll be able to see it in action I remember correctly there is ZERO RGB lighting on this side of the shroud which does not bother me at all and the biggest patch of lighting is on the back plate where we have this devil design logo thing so that's that's fun bear in mind this is a 2.5 slot card so it is a bit beefier in size and physical size than the reference design the heatsink is just massive it looks really good but it's also got a lot of density there you can see that it actually extends quite a bit beyond the custom PCB which cuts off at around I think it's like 240 or 250 millimeters and then the actual heatsink goes up to about 300 millimeters so make sure you have enough clearance in your case for that bear in mind the reference PCB is actually longer than this they shortened it for a really good reason I think is to actually open up some air flow or some ventilation on the back plate so they cut out they made these cutouts so air can more easily flow through that part of the heatsink which i think is a really smart design however it does put your - 8 pin connectors closer to the inside of the card as a post on the outside which is where I generally prefer them to be so even though I'm not 100% thrilled with where the connectors are I can definitely admire why power color put them there also take note that the dual 8 pin connectors are a slight bump up from the 6 + 8 pin that's on the reference card now obviously power color didn't upgrade the PCB just so they could add an 8 pin power connector and shorten it a little they've actually beefed up the vrm as well taking it from 7 to 10 power phases which is gonna allow for cleaner and more stable power going to the GPU there's also a BIOS which look at that 2 step BIOS which lets you toggle between silent and makes the card very very quiet like whisper quiet actually and then OC mode which bumps up the performance a bit but it gets a little bit louder not a whole lot louder though I mean it's still a very quiet card as you'll hear in the sound test I really like the backplate of this card it's simple like sort of badass with the devil logo there again a bit functional as well with the additional ventilation over the heatsink and it's just a nice-looking metal backplate what more do you want we've also got some IO on the back here including one HDMI 2.0 B and three DisplayPort 1.4 ports these are illuminated as well so if you're trying to fish around in the dark forum you'll have no problem locating these ports they're lit up in red though where's where's the RGB there tower color drop the ball there now it's no one cares it's in the back of the card anyway and then ample cutouts here as well for some additional ventilation so there's a walk-around of the card and the hardware I think they did a good job here it looks nice it feels premium they use good materials I like what they did with the vrm and the PCB and I appreciate some of the hardware features that they've implemented now let's talk about performance shall we there's not a whole lot to talk about if I'm being Frank I tested three different games because I was having some weird driver issues not with this particular car just with the RX 5700 series in general I was just having weird issues and it was like crashing the game at times I mean when it was working it was flawless but then it would have these fits and despite all the troubleshooting I did I couldn't get it to work properly in the end so I only tested three titles and from those results I've concluded that this card is not a whole lot faster than reference it's probably like two or three frames a second on average faster which isn't a whole lot it is something it's definitely a little faster but if you're expecting some crazy gains in terms of FPS from getting a custom card like this that's probably not going to be the case where this card really excels is with temperatures and acoustics and the improvements made and those two categories alone are enough to get excited about because when you look at the temperatures for this dude right here we're getting around 83 C right now I mean grand we've been gaming for we've been running this test for almost an hour now but still I mean most people who are gaming you're probably gonna beginning for at least an hour session or longer I would assume so yeah 83 83 C is definitely definitely toasty you can see our GPU clock is hovering anywhere from 1850 to 1900 megahertz on average sometimes a little bit above that but that's generally where we're seeing the clock speeds go you can also hear that this thing is loud it's very loud under load you know rather than just continuing to talk about the noise levels why don't I just give you guys the sound test now so yeah this card's quieter by like a lot and that's great news especially if you're putting this card inside of a case that has a lot of mesh or ventilation where there's a lot of sound leakage it's not gonna be much of an issue at all all right at this point I think we should get the Red Devil on the test bed and check out temperatures and also clock speeds to see if they're how they compare to the reference we have a core i7 9700 k that's running completely stock that's on a Norris Zee 390 extreme motherboard with 16 gigs of G scale sniper X ddr4 3400 speeds alrighty then you're up slugger ho all right a we've got the card on the test bear something pretty good look at that but right on our dream buddy there it is our she blows folks I'm glad we finally have lighting customization on these Red Devil cards it's definitely been a long time coming and here you can see that that Red Devil logo is in fact RGB backlit as well I will say the color transitioning isn't the smoothest I've seen on a video card it doesn't look bad it's just not the smoothest I've seen and that really only applies to certain lighting effects anyway I did sort of lie about no RGB on this side of the shroud there kind of isn't still but you can sort of see it peeking through some of the gaps in the shroud there oh yeah I got to show you the back of the car to where you'll find the Red Devil logo all big and lit up and stuff this is actually the nicest looking RGB element on the card I think just because of the size and and sort of the shape too I think it works really well with backlighting our color has their own software to configure and control all that lighting inside of their devil's own application which is a very simple you've got about a dozen or so effects that you can choose from right there and each of those have their own sliders for brightness and speed there are no independent lighting zones from what I can tell so whatever effect and call you choose will be applied to the entire card but enough about trivial cosmetic features Kyle what about the temperatures I'm glad you asked we're about 35 minutes deep here into our image in heaven 4.0 run definitely enough time to get this thing fully heat soaked and you can see we are hitting 73 C okay actually we're running at 70 C now with a max of 73 that is a whole 10 degrees cooler than then this boy and this half boy right here so that's actually really good so not only are you getting a much quieter experience but the cards gonna be running significantly cooler as well as far as clock speeds go you remember this guy was hovering anywhere from 1850 to just over 1900 megahertz well we're bumping that up Oh thirty to fifty megahertz on average so you can see here we're hovering around nineteen hundred and fifty megahertz sometimes it dips down to 1890 or the very high 1800s uh but for the most part we're seeing roughly a fifty megahertz bump on average with our GPU core clock it's also worth pointing out however obvious it may be that if you were to manually overclock this GPU you would potentially see even higher performance than what we saw today further widening the performance gap between it and the reference card I think it's safe to say that I really like this card however it kind of has an advantage here of being the first and only custom rx 5700 XT that I've tested so far and pretty much anything will seem awesome compared to the reference design so while I don't have a good frame of reference on how this compares to other custom variants of the rx 5700 XT I can say for what it's worth that this is a significantly cooler quieter and a little bit faster card than AMD's in-house creation that's all for now thanks for watching the show okay if there's any other custom rx 5700 or 5700 XT cards you'd like me to check out let me know down below apart from that guys I'm gonna get out of here thanks so much for watching the video toss a like guys if you enjoyed it and get subscribed for more tech stuff coming at you really soon have a good one y'all I'll see you in the next video little good one by Mike inner Elvis is coming out okay Oh still recordingyou suck my friend you suck and you blow at the same time somehow but that's okay it's just because you're a lowly reference design cooler we understand the GPU inside of you is really awesome we love that and you know it's not all bad the fact that you're such a lousy cooler is what's getting us so excited for all of the custom rx 5700 series cards that are coming out as we speak like this power color Red
