The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

[jklc]

Do some base models have locked core and power limits? Just tweaking a Pulse 9070 XT and the power limit goes up to +10% but it doesn't do anything. Sames goes for the core clocks. The sliders only do anything when turning the values negative.

thats one of the lower end card with lower power limit its recomander game clock is only 2000mhz

• GPU: Boost Clock: Up to 2520 MHz
• GPU: Game Clock: Up to 2070 MHz

if you have it in budget, return it and get a better one, i know my card will do 3100mhz in game, thats a big differance

It should still be capable of more that what he's currently getting.

I have the same card and mine will boost to 3000MHz in games.

@jklc The max frequency is an offset and only changes the potential upper limit if all other factors allow. So you won't see it do anything if you whack it to +1000.

I have the 9070XT Pulse too. If I put the pwr limit to +10% I get 100Mhz more on the core speed.

If I set the voltage to -150mV I get 300Mhz more core speed.

This is just an example of what happens for me when running Hellblade 1.

My Sapphire Pulse 9070 has +10% PL and it works, goes from 220W to 242W.

Running with -75% voltage offset which allow for the core to clock higher. Increasing GPU clock doesn't have much effect from what I've seen.

@jklc worth adding that -150mV worked for a few minutes but eventually got a driver timeout black screen.

Got OptiScaler working in Alan Wake 2, the improvement over FSR 2 is insane. This game always had a **** poor implementation of it too.

If the mods to inject it work this good and we've seen it in games like Ratchet & Clank imagine how it is going to be as it matures and get's natively added to games.

 

[hornetstinger]

Optiscaler is only worth it for games where you don't use native, and you then scale up to monitor native?

I'm not 100% sure how it works but it does let me select DLAA as native in Alan Wake 2 and it's just as stable with no artifacts, but I'm not sure if it is actually still upscaling or not.

Alan Wake 2 even has instability at native 1440p. I've found it's actually better to run at 4K with Quality upscaling. It's also useful if you want to use RT and upscaling and FSR 4 is way more suited for the job.

Ah okay, thanks for clearing it up. I'll have to give it another go later on.

How to disable LED on my pure without using the ARGB cable? Just unplug the cable on the board?

Install the relevant software from the GPU maker, they generally include software to turn-off your RGB.

For example, Sapphire has Trixx and MSI has Dragon software. You can use it to turn off the RGB. I also believe you can keep it off essentially forever if you like.

Hopefully, that solves your issue.

Do you have to keep it installed and running in the background or can you install it, turn of the RGB/LED and then uninstall it?

 

[Meaker]

You could unplug the connector on the board, typically you can get to it without taking the heatsink off.

I leave it inactive, once set (Trixx). However, you may have to test the software and see if the change sticks. But, its free software and negates the use of a cable fitting to your motherboard, eh.

Yeah, but I'll already have Adrenaline and Afterburner running, I don't really want TRIXX as well.

Annoying there's not just a switch to turn if off.
Also why can't there be something built in to Windows that can control RGB rather than needing all these additional apps? Although I guess that'd just be more Windows bloat then...

How are people with the XT pulse finding undervolts?

Not done loads of messing myself yet, though found that -20% power limit with -100mv will give me better than stock clock speed whilst pulling 240w, seems a decent trade off but it's my first time ever trying this

 

[NutritioN]

That's the idea, although -100mV might be a bit borderline (crashes in Steel Nomad benchmark for me).

Installed my nitro+ today. Happy with it as an upgrade from 3080 10gb.

I'm still not sure I like the use of the new cable and the positioning and all that, but it does give a clean look not having power connectors on this side of the card.
