The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Just want to update this - I'm getting noise I don't like from the PSU now when pulling 300+W from the GPU. It's fine with Power limit @ -20%, but I'll be replacing ASAP. Not having stability issues however.

OK an update to this update, turns out the PSU is fine. There was a clear plastic film covering on the GPU (the kind to protect it from scratches in transit) that was peeling off slowly and had landed on the PSUs internal fan. The Fan would only spin up during load, and this plastic and the fan sounded like arcing in the PSU.

Have stress tested the PSU with GPU at +10% power and CPU at full load all morning, and it's all good.

We're an RDNA4 family now :)

Picked up a BGrade 9070 for my son's birthday to replace his RX7600 (Thanks @Robbie_G !) it still has the peels on :)

This is a PowerColor Reaper 9070 vs an XFX Swift 9070XT, the XFX card is also about twice as thick.

at the moment its a toss up between the red devil and the xfx mercury ive had 2 gens of red devil what puts me off ive read high memory temps and ive never had an xfx before

I think memory temps at default are bot across the board on these cards. I’ve UV mine to -55mv - 2714mhz VRAM and -15% PL max draw is 280w boosts from 3.0-3.25ghz depending on the game whisper quiet fans and the memory temps gets to 82 hottest and 61 degrees on the GPU and 75 hot spot this is with a 30% fan profile so it’s practically silent. You won’t be disappointed with the Red devil
 
I think I will pick up a 9070 (Reaper) next week from OCUK

I am a bit torn though as the 9060XT looks decent value

Will repurpose the 6700 I have now

However, is the 9070 "worth" it over the 9060XT?

I game at 1440P, 165 frames.

Also use VR, does anyone know how the VR performance is between the cards (Reddit threads are inconclusive)? Or is it just a case of the more powerful card simply being better etc

Further to this, how is ray tracing between the two cards?

Thanks for any info :)

The LTT and GN reviews both include the 9070, it's noticeably faster than the 9060XT so it comes down to price and your budget.

I’ve settled on -85mV and -10% Powerlimit for my Sapphire 9070XT Pulse.

Seems to boosting the GPU clock to 3050mhz, dropping power draw from 305w to 270w, GPU temp from 53 to 59 degrees, hotspot stays around 80 degrees and performance generally better than stock and is stable in what I’ve tested, so happy with that!

Might turn attention to VRAM but are gains noticeable with a bit of an overclock?

I have Fast Timings enabled and have tested to ensure the error correction isn’t knocking back performance. VRAM temps are currently at 76 degrees, so feel there’s some headroom there. But if it’s only going to bring about 2fps increase then I wouldn’t bother.
 
Anyone know what the difference between performance and quiet modes are? aside from noise lol

I just realised I didnt even check whet mine was set to when installing the card - which direction is which on the switch? should I care?

I have XFX quicksilver, for reference

As far as I know there's 2 bios on the card the performance applys a small overclock more heat more power consumption hence louder fans
 
I apologise if this isn’t the right place to ask, but I thought I’d post in this thread rather than start a new one.

I have a PowerColor Red Devil 9070XT that I purchased in March. Initially, I experienced occasional driver timeouts while gaming. They were infrequent, so I didn’t think much of it.

In May, while browsing, the bottom 4/5 of my screen began cycling through colours while the top 1/5 displayed normally. Power cycling the monitor didn’t help, but rebooting the PC did. This concerned me, so I asked on various forums, but I never found a cause.

Over the next few weeks, driver timeouts became more common, specificly when playing PUBG. At first, it was once or twice a week, then a few times in one week, then it eased off again. Recently, however, it has gotten worse. For the past two weeks, I’ve had two or more driver timeouts every time I play PUBG, with no clear pattern. It can happen immediately after starting a game or over an hour in, whether the PC has been freshly booted or running for a while.

Today, when I booted my computer and logged into Windows, the screen stayed black with orangey pink flecks across the screen before the image went back to normal. It didn't last long so I was unable to get a picture. Later, I had two driver timeouts without gaming, once while idle and once while browsing which was not common.

I’ve checked Event Viewer but haven’t found anything, any advice on specific terms to search for would be appreciated.

I did wonder about overheating but I think this all looks within normal.

Temperatures (monitored with HWiNFO64, room at roughly 27 °C):

Gaming (default fan curve): GPU 60 °C, Hotspot 90 °C, Memory 95 °C, 100% usage, TBP 330 W.
Idle: GPU 40 °C, Hotspot 45 °C, Memory 64 °C, 8% usage, TBP 18 W.

Troubleshooting so far:
Tried multiple cables, monitors, and TVs.
Tested several driver versions, including 25.8.1.
Used DDU to uninstall drivers and install fresh.
Reinstalled Windows (twice, on different drives).
Reseated the GPU.
Tried GPU in a different PCIe slot.
Changed desktop resolution (1440p → 1080p).
Lowered in-game resolutions.
Checked power cables.
Applied a custom fan curve to improve cooling.
Underclocked the GPU (per forum suggestion).

At this point, I’m unsure if I’m missing something obvious, if it’s user error, or if the card itself is faulty. The randomness is driving me crazy since I can’t reproduce the issue at will.

System specs:
Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ASRock Nova X870E
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360
32 GB CL28 6000 MHz Corsair Vengeance
PowerColor Red Devil 7900XT
2 TB Lexar M.2
2 TB Crucial P3 Plus M.2
Corsair RM1000x PSU

Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a previous card as it might be worth putting back in and running a few games to see if you have any problems. Failing that running furmark for no more than 15 mins should cause the card crash if it has any hardware problems.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I do not have any other cards to test with so I shall give furmark a go.
