If the 5700s keeps coming down, there won't be much room left between the 5500 and 5700 to squeeze the 5600s in next month unless the 5500 goes down some, which would be great for anyone looking for entry-level performance-per-dollar.

This previously reported Radeon RX 570 4gb is still by far the best performance per dollar you can get: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeo...on=rx 570&cm_re=rx_570-_-14-930-010-_-Product

But yeah, I do like the RX5700 at this price, down $10 from its previous low... but sold out of course! I just wonder how long the RX5500 is going to continue to be overpriced. The 1660 is destroying it right now...

A slight edge on the ASRock (which are reported to have noisy coolers)

$99.99 after $10 promo code and $20 mail-in-rebate.

I don't know enough about this particular model to know if its cooler is quieter or more effective, though.

The market is pretty efficient it seems. Despite the superlatives from various media outlets it figured out that the RX 5700 is a really a card that competes with the GTX 1660 Ti.

Care to justify that comment? Because this sounds like you're saying the RX 5700 performs on the level of the 1660Ti, and the performance data does not back that at all.

But the RX 5700 can't do ray-tracing. The market has correctly priced it as a product in the same league as the GTX 1660 Ti.

And Crytek has demonstrated that you don't need raytracing-specific hardware to achieve raytracing-like results on older hardware, so RTX may be obsolete already.

<Mod Edit> Twenty years ago Intel showed us that we can ray-trace a world full of shiny balls using just the CPU. Perfect reflection is not hard computationally.
