Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC Review: RGB Custom Navi Power
Gigabyte RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Review: Shadow Of War And F1 2019
Monolith’s surprisingly fun Orc-slaying title Middle Earth: Shadow of War, delivers a ton of visual fidelity even at its lower quality settings. So, to maximize the eye-candy on these high-end graphics cards, we used the game’s Ultra quality preset and ran the benchmark routine at a couple of resolutions, topping out at 4K -- or, excuse us, 3840x2160 for the sticklers out there. All of the game's graphics-related options were enabled, along with Temporal AA and Camera Blur. We should note this is the latest installment in the successful game series and our review of Shadow of War is right here, if you'd like some background on the happenings in Middle Earth.

The Shadow Of War benchmark had mixed results for the Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC. Here, the Gigabyte card landed right where you'd expect it at 1440P (between the reference card and Red Devil), but it trailed just slightly at 4K.

The frame time data in F1 2019 is inversely proportional to the average frame rate data, but shows essentially the same thing, with the Radeon RX 5700 XTs churning through the frames at a somewhat faster clip than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, save for one result at 4K.
