I found a decent card a msi 5700

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-5700-mech-oc

not the msi 5700 xt




https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5700-rx-5700-mech-oc/p/N82E16814137466?

it uses 1x 8 pin cable and it is now sold out.

dont buy that one , i bought 3 and sent them back, they ran hot and would not even mine sometimes past 50 mhs on stock

get the MSI gaming x

Yeah, this is the one i got from NewEgg a couple of days ago.  It's still in the box since it's too hot here for me to turn on another rig.  I was actually thinking about getting 1-2 more but seeing your comment, i will likely hold off until I can get this one up and running and see how bad it is.  I guess if it is bad, it makes sense why really only this and an iffy ASRock 5700 are currently available through retailers. I'm really starting to track 5600 XT & 5700 XT closely now.  Will be interesting to see what happens.

funny thing is the asrock ones are great! only issue is the run a bit hotter , i flashed them with my xt 5700 modded bios , they are cheap and a good buy.  I have four of them 55 mhs 110 watt.  I bought two first and they worked well.  I had 4 of those cheap msi and the rig crashed over and over could have been bad luck though.  I think they use weaker memory than the micron stuff the asrock and msi gaming x use
