Where we were a little hesitant to recommend AMD’s blower model, we are much more comfortable if you pick up a card with a better cooler. The Evoke OC is a little quieter and it’s much cooler. We hope and expect cards like this will be anywhere from $10 to $40 extra over the reference cards at launch, which is fair, and depending on how the competition plays things out towards the holidays, we'll see them further discounted back to the $400 base pricing.

This is the second Radeon RX 5700 series card that we've had the chance to get our hands on and I have to say this one really caught our attention much more than Sapphire's Pulse card. This mainly has to do with the overall design of the card with its...
MSI has certainly made something quite unique with its RX 5700 XT Evoke OC.Its champagne gold shroud is what first grabs you first – we've seen cards with gold accents before, but nothing quite like this. It does feel nice and solid in the hand thanks...
MSI goes for gold with Navi and its custom Radeon RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC, operating at just 63C under load compared to the reference RX 5700 XT at 84C. Nice and quiet, too!
In terms of performance, the MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC offers great performance for its price, coming neck-to-neck with the RTX 2070 SUPER for $100 US lower. The card has fantastic temperatures and good power consumption that is made possible with the 7nm process node & shows that better cooling was all it was required to fully realize the power of AMD’s rDNA GPUs. For $429 US, the MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC delivers absolutely fantastic performance and premium design which even without RGB looks beautiful & houses one of the best cooling systems which keep it running stable with the added factory overclock bonus.
MSI expects pricing of the MSI RX 5700 XT to end up around $430, which is a $30 premium over the AMD reference RX 5700 XT. The out-of-the-box performance increase of 2% can justify a $10 bump, the better cooler and idle-fan stop should be worth another $10, so $430 isn't unreasonable. Competition is heating up in that price-range though. You have the Sapphire Pulse at $410, which runs slightly slower, but quieter than the Evoke.
MSI has revised the cooler. MSI tells us that it is already shipping revised models, and may have been for a few weeks, but existing inventory will not have the fix. This is an unfortunate but typical part of improving products that are already in the...
MSI's RX 5700 XT Evoke OC technically has an edge in gaming performance, but it's a very technical victory; that is, although in the lead, the delta isn't significant enough that one should go out of their way to get an extra 1.5% to 2.2% stock...

But for brute raw shader performance, hey we like the 5700 XT and what MSI did with it, that noise level though remains substantial even with the new more silent BIOS, and that is restraining me from handing out an award as for an AIB, you need to do better than this. on the plus side - we do expect the card to be very close to reference MSRP and yeah other than that the coloring might be a notch hard to match your PC. It's certainly a unique design though.
