My local Micro Center has a Sapphire 5700 XT open box for $270 and an XFX 5700 open box for $240. Both are blower style, and both are mint condition.
This will be paired with a 2700X, hooked up to a 4k projector, but I will do a lot of 1080p gaming as well, to maintain 60 fps. I'll only run 4K on older games, and some emulation.
My thinking is, I can flash the 5700 with the 5700 XT BIOS fairly easily. However, I've read the XT has better VRMs. It's only a $30 difference. Think it's worth $30 for peace of mind?
Thanks!
