I am about to order my first ultrawide, and while I don't mind playing at medium settings for a while I think it will be time to upgrade my GPU in the next 6 weeks or so from the 1070 I have. It seems to me that the 5700 xt is the sweet spot of bang for buck. However I of course eventually ran across the videos showing you can flash a 5700 into a couple percentage points above a stock xt. My question is, at something in the range of 60-80 more should I even be considering the XT? I am not afraid of flashing or overclocking. I can't seem to find the right search terms to find the flashed 5700 overclocked vs 5700 xt overclocked.

Any info any of of you folks could offer would be appreciated.
