PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 Review

A Closer Look
The card design is absolutely gorgeous. The matte black finish of the shroud combined with the matte black fans. Obviously, you get a fantastic contrast from that chrome-effect finish trim around the fans.
I know it’s all meant to be practical and simply cool the card. However, it really does look super sleek and sexy, and I like that.
Plus, little details like this sneaky little dragon in the corner really set it off too. It’s not even RGB, nothing like that, it’s just nice as is.
Around the back, you’ll find an HDMI port, as well as three DisplayPorts, making it perfect for multi-monitor setups.
Red Dragon
The backplate is a gorgeous brushed aluminium, which really complements the matte black plastics and chrome trim really well.
Of course, the backplate will cool the PCB a bit. However, it’s the five massive heatpipes and that extra-wide aluminium heatsink that’ll get the heavy lifting done.
Power
The card uses an 8+6 pin power delivery, running through their DrMos digital power setup.
Plus for added performance or silence, you can hot-swap the BIOS with this handy switch.
