If clocks are hitting 3400+ then a negative frequency offset helps as these cards don't behave well above 3400.

The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
I think I'm settled at the minute on -65mv, 2750mhz fast timings. Probably more in it but giving up for the night.
Edit: is the reaper power limited like the pulse (304w + 10%)

Got a 9070xt yesterday but the cables won't let me close my case. Has anyone bought a 3rd party 3x8 cable they recommend ?
This is my issue, I could bend them but don't want too. I would also prefer to just plug these 3 into the new cable. The 3080 I had had its own 12 pin that you plugged your 2 8 pins into so something similar would do.

can reach upto around 334w what ive seen, which would be 10%, guessing the nitro goes higher?
Despite what people say, CPU and especially RAM do have an effect on Steel Nomad.
I got 34th in the world at 8,003 when I got my Tachi, and that was with an undervolt of -85. Strong undervolt, but I’ve seen a lot more.
But, I’m running 6400CL28 at 2200FCLK and a 9800X3D with a decent -CO.
RAM, CPU and the individual silicon all make a difference too.

I just received my Nitro+ XT not so long ago. Chucked it in and gave it a quick and dirty UV/OC. Nothing Drastic, -50 Max frequency offset, -65mV voltage offset, VRAM 2680Mhz fast timings PL +10%. How we looking?
Regarding this..it’s VERY impressive for those settings. Only 79pts behind mine, and, you’re running less of an undervolt AND light VRAM overclock.
I’d be intrigued to see what you’d get with an UV of around -80 and a VRAM OC of around 2800 fast timings. You’d be pushing the very highest scores.
That’s some monster silicon.
This is the first time I've seen the 9070 Pulse back in stock since the initial batches on launch day when I got mine. I just missed out on the £525 pricing but I did get one of the days later batches when the price was £539, it later went up to £569 and is now £599.
Seems the Asrock Challenger is the cheapest option now at £578. Wonder if the Reaper 9070 will also change to £599 once it's back in stock.

Is it the same without the frame limiter on?

I bought Cablemod replacement PCIe cables and they are more flexible plus have lasted 4+ years now (previously used with my 3090 FTW3). Corsair also do premium individually sleeved PCIe cables that are much more flexible than the standard pig tail ones they give with their PSUs (presumably your ones are these).Got a 9070xt yesterday but the cables won't let me close my case.

Looks like Steel Nomad likes the large cache on the CPU that the X3D models have. I don't even get close with similar settings, but my CPU frequency is all over the place in Steel Nomad.
7729 was my score at -60mV with faster VRAM settings though 2760.
13700k with 7400 cl34
I'm not fussed though, I've got a good card for my machine.

Despite what the screenshots suggest I did set the frame limiter to unlimited for these runs.
I was under impression steel nomad was GPU only, although have seen talk about CPU cache.
I'm like 500 points short of that score, that's a heap of score
It's super strange, the GPU is rendering at a lower resolution with FSR on, so it makes absolutely no sense that the FPS drops with it on.
I have only ever seen this when I was CPU limited with my old CPU on my 3090 RTX. Unfortunately I can't remember if the COD benchmark tool was able to correctly show a cpu bottleneck or not. I would have expected it to.
If you set a frame limit to say, 80 fps and try both benchmarks again, look at the % GPU usage during both and you should see the FSR enabled one is using less % to achieve the same FPS. If this isn’t the case and it's using more with FSR on then there is some kind of driver / config issue occuring.
If you look at scores set with the X3D CPUs they are higher.
For example I'm one of the highest scores of 13700k systems in the Top 30, I was number 1 for a while.
In comparison, I don't even get in the top 100 for the 5800X3D, 7800X3D or 9800X3D scores.

I'll try to remember to give it a go this evening.
I've recently updated the driver's from 24.12.2 to 25.3.2 and I'm pretty sure I had the same thing on those too.
I want sure there was much config around FSR that I could get wrong!
From memory I had similar issues running FSR4 on my 1080Ti and DLSS on my 4060Ti, but those were using a i7 8700k which I think was bottlenecking quite a lot.
