MSI RX 5700 XT Evoke OC Graphics Card Review

MSI RX 5700 XT Evoke OC Graphics Card Overview

As I said in the introduction of this review the design of the RX 5700 XT Evoke OC really catches your eye thanks to the champagne-colored shroud. We assume this color is to coincide with AMD’s 50th Anniversary, which uses the same color. The interesting thing about this color is that this card is definitely going to stand out in a build. There are no other champagne-colored motherboards or other components out there that we know of, so it is going to be a little hard to match this card up with the other components in your build.

For those wondering this card has official dimensions of 254 x 129 x 51 mm (LxWxH). These dimensions actually make the card shorter than AMD’s reference design, but you’ll get much better cooling performance. The champagne-colored shroud is actually made of metal and features two of MSI’s Torx 3.0 fans. These fans feature dispersion fan blades which have a special curved blade which accelerates airflow, increasing effectiveness. This card also features a Zero Frozr mode, so the fans will completely turn off during low-load situations.

Looking at the card from the side we can see that this card is slightly larger than a 2-slot card. We can also see the large heatsink and multiple heatpipes. On the side that will show out if you have a window in your case there is a small MSI logo. Interestingly enough, there are no RGB LEDs on this card at all. As far as power connections go you have a combination of an 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-Express power connections. The end of the card has a sort of cap on it with some geometric shapes cut out of it.

Flipping over to the back there is a full-cover metal backplate in the same champagne color as the rest of the card. It has the MSI logo on it towards the end of the card.
