There's always someone from the nVidia Defence Force coming in to try and derail an AMD thread by bringing up past personal issues.

AMD RX 7900XT, 90% to 130% faster than 6900XT, MCM, Q4 2022.
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
I have no issues with either brand of drivers, both are stable and do what I need although I did find radeon drivers to be a right pita where the settings would randomly reset after a restart, this happened with both my 290 and vega 56. MSI AB is much better anyway.
AMD defo has the better UI on the whole and is much quicker but thankfully never have to go in the drivers after the initial setup although I do prefer geforce experience for adjusting game effects on the fly if needs be and recording stuff (when I very rarely use this...)

It's a Pavlonian response. When they read "AMD" they start salivating, and then begin typing.
This, the thing that i keep reading over and over again about AMD drivers is Wattman < stupid name AMD please change it, people using it to undervolt the GPU, fair enough that's what its for but if after that your GPU crashes, blacksceens or it resets its self its because YOU have undervolted it too far, that's not a problem with the driver, that's a YOU problem so stop blaming the drivers.
I put him on ignore a long time ago, occasionally I unhide the posts to see whos arguing about what, and sure enough its normally him. I can only assume some at amd crapped on his cornflakes and kicked his cat because between here and the cpu forum it's a never ending deluge of cringe.You were expecting something else?
My brief time owning a 5700XT the one thing that i did realise is MSI After Burner is a cause of a lot of problems, if you're using AMD drivers for GPU custom settings MSI After Burner has a habit of trying to override it or just clashing, even glitching with it
I had a lot of heat issues with my 5700XT so i did a lot of power tweaking to it, i experienced exactly the same problems people who like to use to perpetuate the more than a decade long (AMD's Drivers are bad) none sense, those were due to my pushing the undervolts too hard and MSI After Burner interfearence, unfortunatly i had to stop using MSI After Burner but once i did the settings i set in AMD's drivers were ROCK SOLID.
Now for the record the 5700XT was a cracking card and i loved AMD's drivers, the problem with it was ASRock, ASRock turned a cracking GPU in to the junkiest pile poo imaginable and i couldn't live with it.
It was an ASRock 5700XT Challenger OC.

Rumor
Rumor has it that the MCM will overclock well over 3GHz. Oddities with Ray tracing though. Also, developers (driven by console) are choosing for a complete revamp how how rays are traced. Brute force methods of RT will reach EOL for alternative methodology(s). Upgraded consoles are coming sooner (2023) then what's expected with this new RDNA3 hardware.
Also rumored that AMD has invested several years in RDNA 3 to take the performance crown. And are willing to shift/change skus to beat whatever Nvidia will release with the 4000 series.

And always denial based on the oppositions own personal experience too. You project that people are Nvidia biased without realising you are biased too.
Weird that yet it is what fuels a purchase.
Dumb dumbs everywhere.
Please stop pushing your own rhetoric to fit in. You are almost always off the mark on your generalizations. Cheers matey.

I believe the 5700 XT has very high power spikes relative to the average power consumption, the fact that it handled a 3070 doesn't mean the PSU couldn't have been the culprit.My SuperFlower Leadex III 650W was one of the best PSU's on the market which handles it just fine and it happened.
That same PSU handled the RTX 3070 in an ITX build with a 5800X and no PSU issues.
I don't know why none of you can accept this...
I have since moved to a MSI MPG 850w because it had a nice Assassin's Creed Valhalla gift with it with all DLC, that system above now has a Vetroo V5 cooler, same PSU, 3600X CPU with the RTX 2060 and 16GB 3200mhz Ram and runs swimmingly.
Gave it to my brother as it is a repayment for something he helped me out with a long time ago.
I now run an ATX build in my Corsair 4000D.
I don't have equipment to test GPU's like Igors Lab or other places. You can believe what you want but Igors Lab showed spikes up to 350 watts total power. Well within spec and within what a Leadex III 650w can handle too.
The 3070 is actually worse for spikes yet always stable.

There are countless reports of people fixing their "driver issues" with the 5700 XT after upgrading their PSU or realizing they were using 1 power cable with a splitter instead of 2 cables.
If there are countless. Show evidence.
I know for a fact this is not true.

The Nvidia hype train looks trash so far, AMD hype train in the lead for me.
Did you just make that up or do you have a link for us?
