The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

It depends how much silly money is I guess... don't they have another 400-500mhz? That feels like quite a lot to me

Anyone with a 9070XT able to tell me what their card is pulling in Watts? Seeing some videos about undervolting with minimal impact on FPS (going from 300w to near 200w). No idea if true.
Just play with the power limit. The maximum of -30 will get it down to 212W or -20 for 243W. Add in anything upto -50mv and you have a power efficient setup. the Energy Efficiency setting seems to do -5 on the power limit and around 280W
 
I'm stable at -75mv. At -80mv it works, but sometimes crashes, depending on the game. Could be straight away or after a couple of hours

Have you managed to push your Pure beyond -75mv to get higher steel nomad scores?

I can’t push mine past -90mv (core offset +500, Vram Fast timings 2750mhz PL +10%) and end up with steel nomad scores of 7447, 74.48fps. Can’t seem to get higher.

Don’t know if the Pulse is hardware limited to undervolt any further.

At -80 it crashes in War Thunder within seconds although it worked in some other games, so I left it at -75. I don't have steel nomad.

Games seem to be okay on -90mv for me. COD, Avatar, TLOU Part 2 etc.

Frustrating that I’m missing out on 4fps (74vs 78) vs what @Kirkatron Nitro achieved in an excellent write up, I must say!

Haven't got one, currently looking to build a pc....the 9070XT as it performs like a 5070ti apparently... and it isn't that much more than a 9070 but concern is power draw.
 
That probably translates to 1fps in game, I wouldn't be bothered.

-90mV game stable is very good.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes it seems small difference really.

I set my core offset to +500 and it seems to have raised the steel nomad score in fps from 73 to 74 and on Zero offset the score is around 72.

Does this make the gpu boost more?

I see max core clocks on HWinfo of 3216mhz and highest total board of 340w at these settings. Vram doesn’t like it about 2760mhz so I’ve set this at max 2750mhz fast timings.

I tried Timespy Extreme with these settings and got 97fps and a graphics score of 15,191. It’s still 3fps short of what TPU managed ie 100fps (I can get 99fps with a -150mv voltage offset but that’s not game stable).

I don’t think I can wring more out of the base model pulse…..

The TPU system will be a bit different to yours. More importantly your 9070xt silicon will be different. You're probably comparing your very good silicon with their excellent silicon. My Pure crashed in game at -100. Fine at -75,mv, -80mv. The difference was only 1 fps at 4k.
 
They're not really worth the cost over a 5700X3d though are they? They're silly money now.

its about 4% differance in games, the last 5800x3d sold on the MM for £220, 5700x3d £150
its not worth the extra £70

on ebay a used 5800x3d is the same cost as a new 5700x3d



On a side not, for people that say pcie 5.0 docent matter i just had a 10% drop in score on time spy from 30500 to 27400
same settings running at same clock speed

just move to an itx build with pcie 4.0

With the most upto date drivers the 5070ti is falling behind I didnt expect this
