The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

I just upgraded to a 9070XT and it voted just fine in my system. It was unstable, but a new power supply solved that. The driver contains about my system both being UEFI which it isn't. I am running my old X58/i7-920 system that has proven to be very stable.

But I just had a need to enter the bios, and it turns out this card really does not support BIOS, like at all. The bios screen is completely garbled and displays as graphics when it should be character mode. Windows 10 is working ok with the card, despite the complaint about CSM.

There was no hint I noticed that this card would be incompatible with BIOS. Upgrading to new hardware right now is bad timing, as I expect AMD to release new generation "soon" and I hate the AM5 platform for having so few PCIe lanes. Also, the new motherboard only have 4 SATA ports and I need twice that.

I don't like upgrading to something that has fewer features. I like the versatility of the PC.

Problem is some games aren't supported with older CPU's, I think Age of Empire IV needed a new CPU...so even though it was more than capable enough - hex core 3ghz, instruction set not included in the die. So games just refused to load.

True. AMDs own Chat doesn't work (crashes), and I suspect due to missing COU instructions. I would have upgraded a long time ago, but the lack of SATA ports and generally the lack of PCIe lanes has held me back.

You would need to add io cards for the extra sata ports. From memory the max available is 6 on certain motherboards. If you want extra lanes then a threadripper system.

That is a gorgeous looking card to be fair!
 
Does the MM appear once you meet the criteria? Anywhere where I can read up on what's required?
 
I won't be using that for a while then haha. Taken me 5 months to post 300
 

I was gunning for WARburton's score but with +10 on the memory (2810Mhz) and -130mV I was 1000 points away, maxed out the power limit to 363w too. The water temperature didn't budge from run to run with my Mora fans on min speed.
