Unboxing the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ is straightforward, and the bundle is generous, so we enjoyed this experience.

Specifikacije dizajna i hardvera

Prvo što smo primijetili kod ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ je da je prekrasan. Njegova stražnja ploča ima prekrasan dizajn sa zupčanicima zbog kojih izgleda kao da je došao ravno iz cyberpunk igre. Stražnja ploča, međutim, nije tu samo da bi lijepo izgledala, već i da pomaže u raspršivanju topline. Nadalje, budući da je izrađena od metala, također pomaže u zaštiti grafičke kartice od savijanja.

Sustav hlađenja je impresivan u usporedbi s originalnim AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT dizajnom^{(AMD original Radeon RX 5700 XT design)} . ASRock koristi tri ventilatora na vrhu masivnog radijatora. Sa strane su dva ventilatora od 90 mm, a u sredini jedan ventilator od 80 mm, koji je također RGB osvijetljen.

Kada kartica radi, RGB LED diode^{(RGB LEDs)} na hladnjaku također osvjetljavaju niz zupčanika koji se nalaze na vidljivoj strani grafičke kartice. Iako nismo koristili ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ na matičnoj ploči koju je napravio ASRock , trebali biste znati da ova grafička kartica nudi podršku za tehnologiju Polychrome SYNC tvrtke, koja vam omogućuje da sinkronizirate svoje svjetlosne efekte s onima postavljenim na ASRock kompatibilnoj matičnoj ploči.

ASRock Radeon RX 5700 ^{(ASRock Radeon RX 5700)} XT Taichi X 8G OC+ koristi najnoviju AMD -ovu RDNA ( Navi ) arhitekturu i najmanji proizvodni proces na svijetu (7-nanometarski). Ima osnovni takt od 1820 MHz , takt igre mu je 1935 MHz , a maksimalna frekvencija pojačanja je 2025 MHz . Kartica dolazi s 8 GB GDDR6 koji radi na taktu od 14 Gbps i sa 256-bitnom memorijskom sabirnicom. Također je napravljen za rad na PCI Express ( PCIe ) 4.0 x16 i podržava DirectX 12 i OpenGL 4.6 .

ASRock je bio vrlo velikodušan s brojem dostupnih portova. AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ ima 6 izlaza za prikaz: četiri DisplayPort 1.4^{(DisplayPort 1.4)} s DSC 1.2a i dva HDMI 2.0b . Za usporedbu, standardni Radeon RX 5700 XT iz AMD- a daje vam samo tri DisplayPort 1.4 i jedan HDMI port.

Video kartica dobiva svoju dodatnu električnu snagu preko dva 8-pinska konektora za napajanje i ima 10+1 fazni dizajn napajanja. To je više od preporučene 7+1 faze snage koju preporučuje AMD i osigurava da grafička kartica dobije dovoljno snage čak i ako radi u overclock modu. Također, ASRock preporuča jedinicu napajanja od 700 W^(Watts) , što je 100 W^(Watts) više od onoga što AMD preporučuje za referentnu specifikaciju Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Govoreći o overclockanju, ova grafička kartica je overclockana iz tvornice i ima dvije verzije BIOS -a: jednu za rad u OC modu, a drugu za rad u Silent modu. Možete kontrolirati koja se verzija BIOS -a učitava na GPU pomoću prekidača Dual BIOS koji se nalazi na grafičkoj kartici. Prema zadanim postavkama, kartica je postavljena da radi u OC načinu.

Što se fizičkih dimenzija tiče, ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ grafička kartica je velika. Zauzima dva utora i ima duljinu od 12,77 in (324,35 mm), širinu od 5,73 in (145,39 mm) i visinu od 2,1 in (53,18 mm).

The ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ is a beautiful graphics card that impressed us with its design, and its hardware specifications are slightly improved over the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT reference. Just by looking at its specs, you know that this is a powerful graphics card that can handle any game, in 1440p or 1080p, at the highest quality.

Performanse u igrama i mjerilima

Kako bismo vidjeli koliko je brza grafička kartica ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+, testirali smo nekoliko igara i proveli nekoliko mjerila. ^{(XT Taichi X 8G)}Evo hardverske i softverske platforme na kojoj smo testirali ovu karticu:

• Procesor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 jezgri, 16 niti, osnovni takt 3600 ^{(Base Clock 3600)} MHz , maksimalni boost takt 4600 ^{(Max Boost Clock 4600)} MHz )
• Matična ploča: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memorija: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB (2 x 8 GB, 3600 MHz )
• Pohrana: ADATA XPG Gammix S50 1 TB SSD (PCIe 4.0 x4)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ zakrivljeni gaming monitor^{(ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor)} (32-inčni WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz)
• Napajanje: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operativni sustav: Windows 10 Pro x64 s ažuriranjem iz studenog 2019^{(November 2019 Update)}
• GPU upravljački programi: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition verzija 19.12.2^{(Edition Version 19.12.2)}

Počeli smo s testiranjem performansi ponuđenih u World War^{(World War Z)} Z. Koristili smo Vulkan API i postavke kvalitete grafike Ultra . Prilikom pokretanja igre na rezoluciji 2560 x 1440, dobili smo minimalno 113 sličica u sekundi (fps), prosječni fps od 130, a maksimalni fps od 178. Koristeći rezoluciju 1920 x 1080, minimalni fps je bio 123, prosječno 178, a maksimalno 272.

Star Control : Origins je igra koja koristi DirectX 11 i ne nudi alat za usporedbu. Međutim, izmjerili smo izlazni fps dok smo vozili lander na Mjesecu Triton koristeći najviše moguće grafičke postavke, na razlučivosti od 1440p i 1080p. U QHD rezoluciji (2560 x 1440 piksela) izmjerili smo minimalni fps od 74, prosjek 98 i maksimalan fps od 120. U FHD -u (1920 x 1080 rezolucija) izmjerili smo minimalno 99 fps, prosječno 117 i 145 maksimum.

Battlefield V je još jedna popularna igra i ona koja zahtijeva puno hardverskih resursa da bi prikazala svoju najbolju kvalitetu grafike. Za to smo koristili DirectX 12 API i postavke Ultra kvalitete. Kada smo pokrenuli igru ​​na rezoluciji 2560 x 1440, imali smo minimalni fps od 81, prosječno 101, a maksimum 135. Na rezoluciji 1920 x 1080 minimalni fps je bio 106, prosječan 134, a maksimalni 146.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider je igra s izvrsnim vizualima, ali kvaliteta grafike ima svoju cijenu i zahtijeva moćnu grafičku karticu da bi dobro radila. Testirali smo ga na DirectX 12 , TAA ( temporal Anti-Aliasing ) i najvišoj^(Highest) predpostavci za kvalitetu grafike. Kada smo usporedili igru ​​u 1440p (rezolucija 2560 x 1440 piksela), izmjerili smo minimalno 64 fps-a, prosječno 82, a maksimalno 119. U Full HD -u (1920 x 1080 rezolucija) dobili smo minimalno 94 fps, u prosjeku 124, a maksimalno 192.

Tom Clancy 's The Division 2 ima benchmarking alat koji daje samo prosječne fps. Koristeći DirectX 12 i unaprijed postavljenu kvalitetu grafike Ultra , dobili smo prosječni fps od 75 na rezoluciji 1440p i 106 fps na rezoluciji od 1080p.

Metro Exodus također ima neke vrlo strme hardverske zahtjeve, ako ga želite igrati uz najvišu moguću kvalitetu grafike. To je također igra koja je prikazala najmanje okvira u našim testovima. Koristeći DirectX 12 , Ultra video preset i rezoluciju od 2560 x 1440 piksela, uspjeli smo dobiti samo minimalno 21 fps, prosječno 55 fps i maksimalno 108 sličica u sekundi. Prelazak na rezoluciju od 1920 x 1080 piksela značio je mali porast broja fps-a: minimalno 25, prosječno 60, a maksimalno 89.

Također smo usporedili ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ u Fortniteu^(Fortnite) , koja nije grafički zahtjevna igra, ali je vrlo popularna među online igračima. Koristili smo grafičke postavke Epic i izmjerili minimalno 46 fps-a, prosječno 120 i maksimalno 191 sličicu u sekundi pri rezoluciji od 2560 x 1440 piksela. Kada smo koristili rezoluciju od 1920 x 1080 piksela, igra je renderirala minimalno 158 fps, prosječno 180, a maksimalno 196. Kao što možete vidjeti, minimalni fps koji smo vidjeli na 1440p bio je prilično nizak. Međutim, to je vjerojatno zbog činjenice da je Fortniteova DirectX ^(Fortnite)12^{(DirectX 12)} implementacija u beta verziji^(Beta)mod za sada, pa vjerojatno još uvijek ima problema koje treba riješiti. Sve u svemu, prosječni fps je bio vrlo visok u obje rezolucije koje smo testirali.

U Apex Legends , još jednoj popularnoj online battle royale igrici, koristeći najvišu kvalitetu grafike, izmjerili smo minimalno 93 fps, prosječno 117 fps i maksimalno 145 fps na rezoluciji 1440p. U Full HD -u izmjerili smo minimalno 130 fps, prosječno 143 fps i maksimalno 145 fps.

Konačno, također smo pokrenuli nekoliko mjerila specijaliziranih za igranje, od 3DMark i Unigine . U 3DMarkovom Time Spyu^{(Time Spy)} , koji koristi DirectX 12 , na rezoluciji 2560 x 1440 piksela, dobili smo ocjenu od 9600 bodova. U Unigine SuperPositionu^{(Unigine SuperPosition)} , koristeći grafičku predpostavku Extreme i rezoluciju od 1080p, dobili smo rezultat od 3460 bodova s ​​DirectX 11 i 4415 bodova s ​​OpenGL-om^(OpenGL) .

Također smo željeli vidjeti koliko energije troši video kartica kada pokreće igrice ili druge slične aplikacije koje intenzivno koriste njezine resurse. Otkrili smo da kartica troši do 229 W^(Watts) , što znači da je preporuka ASRockovog napajanja od 700 W^(ASRock) dobra i^(Watts) treba se pridržavati njihovih savjeta.

Drugi važan element je toplina koju proizvodi video kartica. Kako bismo vidjeli koliko se kartica zagrijava, igrali smo Metro Exodus oko 15 minuta u ultra kvaliteti videa, dok smo pratili temperature. Otkrili smo da se ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ može zagrijati do 79 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) ili 174 stupnja Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) . To je dobar rezultat i prilično značajno poboljšanje u usporedbi s AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT referentnom karticom^{(AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT reference card)} koja se jako zagrijava: do 86 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) ili 187 stupnjeva Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) .

ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ proved to be one of the fastest and most powerful graphics cards that we tested this year. It is able to run any game at ultra settings without issues, both in Full HD and 1440p resolutions.

Softver u paketu

Za ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ grafičku karticu, proizvođač vam nudi alat pod nazivom ASRock Taichi Tweak . To je stolna aplikacija za Windows koja vam omogućuje praćenje grafičke jezgre i takta memorije, njihovu iskorištenost, brzinu ventilatora i temperaturu. Nadalje, također možete prilagoditi i prilagoditi njegove satove i brzinu memorije te kontrolirati brzinu ventilatora.

ASRock Taichi Tweak aplikacija je lagani softver koji nudi samo osnove koje su vam potrebne. Smatrali smo ga korisnim, posebno za podešavanje krivulje brzine ventilatora.^{(The ASRock Taichi Tweak app is a lightweight software that offers just the basics you need. We found it useful, especially for tweaking the fans speed curve.)}

Unboxing the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+

The ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ comes in a large box made of cardboard. On its top side, it features the name and the essential features and specs of the graphics card, on a dark matte gray background. Also, on the top-right side of the box, there's a nice design with cogwheels that made us think of cyberpunk.

The back of the package is filled with details about the graphics card's specifications, features, and requirements, as well as illustrations of it and its software.

Opening the box reveals everything you've paid for: the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ graphics card, a set of ASRock stickers and similar goodies, the user guide, and warranty documentation.

Unboxing the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ is straightforward, and the bundle is generous, so we enjoyed this experience.

Design and hardware specifications

The first thing we noticed about the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ is that it's gorgeous. Its backplate features a beautiful design with gears that makes it look like it came straight from a cyberpunk game. The backplate, however, is not there just to look nice, but also to help dissipate the heat. Furthermore, because it is made of metal, it also helps protect the graphics card from bending.

The cooling system is impressive compared to the AMD original Radeon RX 5700 XT design. ASRock uses three fans on top of a massive radiator. There are two 90 mm fans on the sides, and one 80 mm fan in the middle, that's also RGB illuminated.

When the card is running, the RGB LEDs on the cooler also illuminate a series of cogwheels found on the visible side of the graphics card. While we didn't use the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ on a motherboard made by ASRock, you should know that this graphics card offers support for the company's Polychrome SYNC technology, which allows you to synchronize its lighting effects with those set on an ASRock compatible motherboard.

The ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ benefits from AMD's latest RDNA (Navi) architecture and the world's smallest manufacturing process (7-nanometer). It has a base clock of 1820 MHz, its game clock is 1935 MHz, and the maximum boost frequency is 2025 MHz. The card comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 running at a clock of 14 Gbps and with a 256-bit memory bus. It is also built to work on PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 x16 and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6.

ASRock has been very generous with the number of ports available. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ has 6 display outputs: four DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC 1.2a and two HDMI 2.0b. In comparison, the standard Radeon RX 5700 XT from AMD only gives you three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI port.

The video card gets its additional electrical power via two 8-pin power connectors and features a 10+1 phase power design. That's more than the recommended 7+1 phase power recommended by AMD and ensures that the graphics card receives enough power even if it runs in overclock mode. Also, ASRock recommends a power supply unit of 700 Watts, which is 100 Watts more than what AMD recommends for the Radeon RX 5700 XT reference specification.

Speaking of overclocking, this graphics card is overclocked from the factory and it has two BIOS versions: one for running in OC mode, and one for running in Silent mode. You can control which BIOS version is loaded on the GPU by using the Dual BIOS switch found on the graphics card. By default, the card is set to run in OC mode.

Regarding the physical dimensions, the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ graphics card is large. It occupies two slots and has a length of 12.77 in (324.35 mm), a width of 5.73 in (145.39 mm), and a height of 2.1 in (53.18 mm).

The ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ is a beautiful graphics card that impressed us with its design, and its hardware specifications are slightly improved over the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT reference. Just by looking at its specs, you know that this is a powerful graphics card that can handle any game, in 1440p or 1080p, at the highest quality.

Performance in games and benchmarks

To see how fast the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ graphics card is, we tested several games and ran some benchmarks. Here's the hardware and software platform on which we tested this card:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 cores, 16 threads, Base Clock 3600 MHz, Max Boost Clock 4600 MHz)
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB (2 x 8 GB, 3600 MHz)
• Storage: ADATA XPG Gammix S50 1 TB SSD (PCIe 4.0 x4)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (32-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz)
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with November 2019 Update
• GPU Drivers: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition Version 19.12.2

We began with testing the performance offered in World War Z. We used the Vulkan API and the Ultra graphics quality settings. When running the game on the 2560 x 1440 resolution, we got a minimum of 113 frames per second (fps), an average fps of 130, and a maximum fps of 178. Using the 1920 x 1080 resolution, the minimum fps was 123, the average 178, and the maximum 272.

Star Control: Origins is a game that uses DirectX 11 and does not offer a benchmarking tool. However, we measured the fps output while driving a lander on the Triton moon using the highest possible graphics settings, on both 1440p and 1080p resolutions. In QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), we measured a minimum fps of 74, an average of 98, and a maximum fps of 120. In FHD (1920 x 1080 resolution), we measured 99 fps minimum, 117 average, and 145 maximum.

Battlefield V is another popular game and one that demands a lot of hardware resources to display its best graphics quality. For it, we used the DirectX 12 API and the Ultra quality settings. When we ran the game at 2560 x 1440 resolution, we had a minimum fps of 81, an average of 101, and a maximum of 135. On the 1920 x 1080 resolution, the minimum fps was 106, the average 134, and the maximum 146.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a game with exquisite visuals, but the graphics quality has its price and requires a powerful graphics card to run well. We tested it on DirectX 12, TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing), and the Highest preset for graphics quality. When we benchmarked the game in 1440p (2560 x 1440 pixels resolution), we measured a minimum fps of 64, an average of 82, and a maximum of 119. In Full HD (1920 x 1080 resolution), we got a minimum of 94 fps, an average of 124, and a maximum of 192.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has a benchmarking tool that only outputs the average fps. Using DirectX 12 and the Ultra graphics quality preset, we obtained an average fps of 75 on the 1440p resolution and 106 fps on the 1080p resolution.

Metro Exodus also has some very steep hardware requirements, if you want to play it at the highest graphics quality possible. It is also the game that rendered the fewest frames in our tests. Using DirectX 12, the Ultra video preset, and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, we only managed to get a minimum of 21 fps, an average of 55 fps, and a maximum of 108 frames per second. Switching to the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution meant a small increase in the number of fps: a minimum of 25, an average of 60, and a maximum of 89.

We have also benchmarked ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ in Fortnite, which is not a particularly graphics-demanding game, but it is very popular with online gamers. We used the Epic graphics settings and measured a minimum fps of 46, an average of 120, and a maximum of 191 frames per second when using the 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. When we used the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, the game rendered a minimum of 158 fps, an average of 180, and a maximum of 196. As you can see, the minimum fps we saw on 1440p was pretty low. However, this is likely due to the fact that Fortnite's DirectX 12 implementation is in Beta mode for now, and thus probably still has issues left to be ironed out. Overall though, the average fps was very high in both resolutions that we tested.

In Apex Legends, another popular online battle royale game, using the highest graphics quality set, we measured a minimum of 93 fps, an average of 117 fps, and a maximum of 145 fps on the 1440p resolution. In Full HD, we measured 130 fps minimum, 143 fps on average, and 145 fps maximum.

Finally, we also ran a few benchmarks specialized for gaming, from 3DMark and Unigine. In 3DMark's Time Spy, which uses DirectX 12, on a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, we got a score of 9600 points. In Unigine SuperPosition, using the Extreme graphics preset and a resolution of 1080p, we got a score of 3460 points with DirectX 11 and 4415 points with OpenGL.

We also wanted to see how much power the video card draws when running games or other similar apps that use its resources intensively. We discovered that the card draws up to 229 Watts, which means that the recommendation of a 700 Watts power supply unit made by ASRock is good and you should follow their advice.

Another important element is the heat produced by the video card. To see how hot the card gets, we played Metro Exodus for about 15 minutes at the ultra video quality, while monitoring the temperatures. We found that the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ can get as hot as 79 degrees Celsius or 174 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a good result and a rather significant improvement compared to the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT reference card which gets very hot: up to 86 degrees Celsius or 187 degrees Fahrenheit.

ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ proved to be one of the fastest and most powerful graphics cards that we tested this year. It is able to run any game at ultra settings without issues, both in Full HD and 1440p resolutions.

Bundled software

For the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+ graphics card, the manufacturer offers you a tool called ASRock Taichi Tweak. It's a desktop app for Windows that allows you to monitor the graphics core and memory clocks, their utilization, the fan speeds, and temperatures. Furthermore, you can also adjust and customize its clocks and memory speed, and control the speed of fans.

The ASRock Taichi Tweak app is a lightweight software that offers just the basics you need. We found it useful, especially for tweaking the fans speed curve.

What is your opinion about the ASRock Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+?
