Working fine for me.
Yeah an iGPU can be useful I always said the same, I had the 5600G and always thought it was good to have a back up in case something went kaput and at least you could trouble shoot or in the worst case you could still use your PC whilst you sort a replacement but now I've gone against my own advice with the 5700X3D
Thankfully most of the modern AM5 chips have integrated graphics as well as the extra v-cache with the X3D chips though, so that's nice.
I have had a bit of a play around. My fps in helldivers 2 went from 68-90 to between 110-150 and i havent done any tinkering with undervolting etc so I'm pretty happy with it.
I really like how the cables are hidden. Was always annoying to me to see the cables on the side of the 3080.
The support bracket is actually decent I think. I didnt expect it but it was a nice surprise.
Might be port dependant I know that on my old gpu unless I was using DP1 it would do the same thing

Has anyone else had any issues with their system freezing? I've had several instances now across multiple games where Windows will become completely unresponsive. Any sounds or music will continue play in the background and I'm still able to move the cursor around, but otherwise everything else is entirely frozen (including the clock in the taskbar). In some cases I've been able to play for an hour or so before this issue occurs, but I've also had it occur within 10-20 minutes.
So far I've tried:
So far I've tried:
- Setting a GPU clock offset of -480MHz in Adrenalin to reduce this to 2970MHz (maximum boost frequency per the spec sheet)
- Forcing the PCIe slot to Gen 4 via UEFI (this has reportedly helped for some users)
- Updating AMD chipset drivers and motherboard UEFI/BIOS to the latest versions
- Checking Event Viewer for anything that might be related, but so far haven't seen anything relevant
Had this happen last night while playing RDR2, screen initially hangs and then goes black. Adrenaline recognised it as a driver timeout.
I was running an undervolting so I suspect it's not fully stable
Have you tried any stress tests like OCCT? Is this a new thing since the 9070 install?

My mate ordered from there similar time to me, hasnt received his yet. Still states May delivery on his order page.I didn't like the nitro+ when it was that price
Makes no odds to me at the minute as not home much due to work. I think folk are receiving their may date items already too.
He's lost more than £14 in those 2 weeks on the resale value of his 3090. He "saved" a whopping 2% though.........
Haha I respect the patience but I just wouldnt be able to wait
Did you DDU your previous drivers or use AMD cleanup tool, depending on if you had Nvidia or AMD previously?
That shouldnt be happening at stock or with a negative clock offset. Its not the same as people who have undervolted without proper testing causing their driver timeouts.
When i had similar issues about 4 years ago, with a 3090, it was because of a driver conflict issue. I had a 1080 Ti and just swapped over without fully uninstalling the drivers. It would randomly crash. After doing a DDU, reinstalling the drivers, the problems went away.
Agreed, I use a coolermaster support bracket as the supplied one is crap.
If I was home more (Which I will be after mid April) I would have had one already most likely. My 3080 is also just sitting losing value but nothing I can do about it currently. In hindsight, I could have sold the 3080 weeks ago, But we know how that has worked out in the past.
If I had actually liked the design initially I would have gone for it. But in a way I'm quite glad I couldn't get one on launch as I would have likely had purchased something that would have been a second choice.

Its an amazing looking card. I had Red Devil 7900 XTX and the Nitro+ looks way nicer in my opinion. The 9070 XT Red Devil back end looks like it has a really bad hemeroid about to burst and is very plastic looking.

All AIB cards this gen are mostly plastic EXCEPT the Nitro which is premium looking. That’s why I love the reference coolers of the past and struggled to let go of my 7800XT (not for the performance but for the looks lol).

Yeah check this. It's very likely it's the wrong DP port
I ordered the card, then realised I should have measured the space available first!! But, before measuring, I looked at the website to see what was the longest GPU the case would take, and it says 320mm. But I measured it just to be sure and the space is just under 320mm at 318mm. The card is supposed to be 298mm, and as you can see from the photos, there isn't 10mm of a gap between the card and the radiator. And sure enough when I measured the card, it's 309mm long.
Gigabyte motherboard by any chance? The last 2 boards I have had has been AM4 Gigabyte boards and once or twice a year I had/have to update the bios firmware. Signs of it is complete instability and overall weird behaviour without the event log going crazy. Just been through it a few days ago where my bios crapped itself out of the blue after a reinstall of win 11 and went from the latest revision(19d) to rev 18 and still ran poorly. A reflash later and everything was honky dory.
