The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

[Buckster]

I think it will work fine without undervolting, but it is right on the limit.

Thankyou and yeah I'll just keep a track on how stable it PSU getting super hot, what power draw from wall is etc and go from there

Happy to replace with say a 850x but may as well at least give it a careful try on current PSU

Even a small -40 on the voltage and drop the power limit to minus-the power output considerably falls off the 9070s.

You'd have to be really unlucky if you're not game stable on -40 as they are relatively very, very good at undervolting.

I'd be surprised if it trips your PSU as my 7900XTX ran undervolted on an EVGA 600w PSU for long enough.

@humbug what one you getting?

I'm running my stock 9070XT Steel Legend, 9 fans, an X570, 32gb RGB ram, a 5950x that hasn't been touched save for PBO on, 2 NVME drives, a SATA SSD and a mechanical on a Superflower 650W Leadex III Gold. Do it.

Wow really? I will be running 9070xt pulse when it arrives, along with 5800x3d, 36gb ram, 1 nvme, 2 x ssd 5 fans with a seasonic Focus gx. Tempted not to open my new PSU then and see how it goes...

Never skimp on the PSU

If you can afford a £600 quid GFX card you can afford to power it properly. With headroom.

If say true from a PSU quality point of view but I think often most of us go way way overkill on capacity. In addition isn't part of the PSU spec for them to be able to cope with transient high load spikes over their capacity

Presumably they are designed to be able to run continually at or near 100% load at quite high ambient temps ?

 

[Buckster]

Also I think the rating 550,650 etc is the internal available power so the power draw from wall will be even higher. So if say like my system is measuring at the wall 300-320w under full CPU and GPU load that is more like 260-280w out of 550w internally

Guilty on that front. I've got a 1200w PSU purchased a few months prior to the 9070XT as I wasn't sure what way I wanted to go.

I looked into it and checked the reviews of my PSU and it apparently gave up after 720W during reviews. I also ran my old card, a supposedly 'peaky' 3080 10GB with power draw spikes without a single issue. Sure when I go AM5 in the future I will get something 800-1000W bit I have no worries at all about my current PSU.

I’ll be connecting a 9070XT to a 650w PSU.

Running at 3070ti which can spike to almost 400w in short bursts. Think nvidia recommended a 750w PSU. Undervolted it a year or so into ownership anyway.

I intend to undervolt the 9070XT anyway so hopefully should be ok.

My nitro doesn't whine even with vsync off, however I cap it to 120 regardless even though screen is 165hz as I just don't need anything above that and it helps keep temps nice and low

I do the same on my 240hz monitor, I put it down to 120, does that stop coil whine then?

 

[ak22]

I have just put my GPU in my case and left... What's are the advantages/disadvantages of under voting?

Reduced power consumption, fans spin lower rpm because of less heat, less heat and possibly higher boost clocks

 

[ak22]

Higher boost clocks? How does that work? Due to less heat which allows higher boost? Are thier no negative effects then?

 

[hornetstinger]

Correct, because it's lower temp at the same clock speed it can boost higher. Same when you undervolt a CPU.

Only negatives could be games could crash, but reduce voltage until you experience crashes then knock the slider back a little

It helps a lot

Dose anyone on the forum actually have a 9070/9070xt with Samsung memory?

Not here. Hynix apparently. ASRock 9070XT Steel Legend.

i've had 5 nitro+'s, 2 xt and 3 none, all with Hynix.

i'm only asking because there is a forum user obsessed with picking up an XT with Samsung memory but when you look online all the info around them with that memory is coming out of china and from what i can be seen it performs worse in benchmarks.
so i was wondering if any one had hands on experience

he as it in his head that no matter what people say the Hynix memory will hit 95c in games.
i have my memory at 2618(2600mhz) fast timings and it never passes 75c(ish), and the same user says Samsung should be 15c lower as the same speeds
