After looking at a factory-overclocked Radeon RX 5700 XT video card from XFX, that did also feature a TGP of 210W, it is now the time to explore the mainstream segment even more with the PowerColor RX 5700 Red Dragon, with a dual-fan cooling solution and a total TGP in OC mode of 170W. As the XT version, the card is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, while the 7nm NAVI GPU features RDNA architecture and PCIe Express 4.0 hardware compatibility. The Radeon RX 5700 GPU does feature 2304 active shader processors, a Base operating Clock of 1565MHz, a Game Clock of 1720MHz, while the Boost value is mentioned as up to 1750MHz.

The Game Clock term is described as the expected run frequency when running typical gaming applications, set to typical TGP (Total Graphics Power).

As we have seen with the XFX RX 5700 XT 8GB RAW II Ultra card, the PowerColor RX 5700 Red Dragon runs with the memory at stock settings (14 Gbps), which renders a total bandwidth of 448GB/s.

The product is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure, with the Red Dragon logo on the frontal area, but also some of the product highlights:

The product main features are explained in little more detail on the back, and here we will also learn of the minimum system requirements:

If we do remove the top packaging layer, we will end up with a plain, cardboard enclosure:

This one opens really easy, revealing an internal foam protective layer:

First, we will notice the supplied documentation leaflet, along with the driver disk:

Besides the initial foam, the card is also protected by an anti-static bag:

The manufacturer does also mention on the sealing sticker that we must not forget connecting extra power from the PSU, before powering up the system:

The PowerColor RX 5700 Red Dragon card is pretty compact, since it only uses two slots inside our case; its dimensions are 240mm*132mm*41mm and should fit with ease in most midi-tower enclosures:
