The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Pretty sure that PCI-E 4.0 isn't holding the 9070 XT back.

1.4% between pcie 5 and pcie 3.

Nothing at all.

E: That's on a 5090

hopefully my hdmi cable is going to arrive today my old one couldnt handle the bandwidth so the screen was turning itself on and off like astrobe light luckily i had a dp equiped screen and cable so i could at least use the pc for a day
running a 5900x so probably cant push it as hard as some of you can but yeah going to be a fun weekend me thinks
 
Ugh, I've been experiencing these issues over the last few days too.


Once or twice I've turned the PC on and nothing has happened, just black screen and it's taken 3-4 attempts to get it to start. Also had poor performance in some games. Avatar was only getting 50fps maxed out and I've reinstalled the drivers using DDU. I've just transferred my hardware to a new case and installed some other parts so wondered if it was that but I fear it's just the usual half baked AMD crap.

I was with Nvidia for 10 years, did one stint of AMD and quickly retuned it after **** like this kept happening and it's sad to see that nothing has changed. Might just have to return this and suck up the cash for team greedy again :(

EDIT: Just before I posted this the PC did it again, some random GPU bluescreen after playing Call of Duty BO6 then refuses to boot. I had to clear the BIOS to get the thing to post again.

Just to ask the obvious, you' reset your BIOS to defaults and ensured you are on the latest BIOS and also tested a spare SSD wit ha clean install on your OS to rule out crap in the background?

Personally in your situation, would do a clean Windows install, game shader caches mat not be cleaned or re-built for your new gpu, physx X, and you used ddu-which can 'break' Windows an whatever else is messy, it's quicker and easier than return process.

I get that for the random crashing and will be clean installing later when my new nvme arrives.

Its the posting issues that are the biggest issue, I don't even get the bios splash screen, it's just on but dead. This has happened twice now and that can't be driver related?

I wouldn't be looking at Nvidia 50-series if you want drivers that work - I'm still waiting for a stable driver. My 9070xt by contrast has been a breeze.

If you've installed other parts then it's only fair to look at those as well. Though my Reaper was DOA, as in, PC would boot, but no signal. I'd be sending yours back.

Yeah, problem is it's fine when it works, call of duty, battlefield etc are all running great but when it has a hitch it just gets stuck and it seems nothing apart from clearing the BIOS will get the machine to post again.

I think it's software related given others are having the same issue and cards are mostly still out of stock so I'll wait and see if a driver release fixes anything.
 
Had the 9070xt Sapphire Pulse for over a week now, all around very happy with it, particularly noise levels, rivals my old 970 Windforce. As always my main focus is powersaving, I do not care for increased performance, more efficiency is king (to me :p)

Have tested in both Timespy and Cyberpunk, you can see my results here:

zjN5MnM.png



At -100mv && -18% Power Limit we are getting the same or marginally better results for 54w less power usage

At -100mv && -10% Power Limit we are getting 2.61% better fps in Cyberpunk for 30w less power usage than stock

At -100mv && +10% Power Limit we are getting 5.23% better fps in Cyberpink for 30w more power usage than stock, yet only 2fps more performance than -100mv/-10% for a whopping 60w more power usage.


In conclusion I will be running -100mv/18% in general usage for much less power usage, or 100mv/10% should I need to squeeze out a little extra performance.

Time will tell regarding stability, I have a 2 hour test in Cyberpunk and 2 hours in RDR2 at -100mv && -10% with no issues. I am sure to run into issues in some games but I will ammend my results as time allows


Note - cyberpunk running at ULTRA settings with RT medium, FSR QUALITY, 3440x1440

See if a clean install or windows fixes it.
I spent a day and a half trying to get out of a hang when uninstalling old drivers, then gave up and did a clean install

Did you delete your steam shader cache?

Have you updated the bios on your motherboard and installed the latest chipset drivers. What power supply do you have and what is the rating and age.

Yep good call. I was going to suggest PSU. Can cause all sorts of odd issues.
