I switched from a Radeon VII to a 5700 XT.

The game is set to ultra settings at 1800p and upscaled with radeon image sharpening to 4K. Looks stunning, especially with HDR on. I am trying to make a point here: if you have a 4K panel and you do smart upscaling with the 5700 XT you can get amazing visual quality without breaking the bank.

This card is excellent value, and nobody should tell you this is not a 4K gaming card.

I will turn on MSI afterburner for my future gameplay videos.

I noticed that the recording performance hit is bigger on the 5700 XT compared to the Radeon VII. But overall, it's one or two fps, not a big deal.
