Pretty sure adrenalin will be fine with two GPUs. My igpu shows up fine as second one in it

its whether it would allow me to do an undervolt seperately on both gpu's although saying that i only undervolt very slightly purely to save a bit of energy and a bit less work for my cooling to deal with [which is almost pointless my thermals are more than fine id go as far as saying fine is an understatement lol]
i do think maybe getting a 9060xt pure to bung that odd one out monitor onto then i can run all at the same 165hz refresh all on display port and tbh assuming i can do it in a way that doesnt result in one gpu basically heating up the cooling intake air from the other one up then it might also look pretty nice
il have a proper think, half of me is saying if your gonna run a second gpu maybe one with different features rather than jsut a cut down version of my primary but yeah i think it wouuld look nice with either a pair of 9070 or a second 9060xt in there lol
Pretty sure if its only running desktop stuff the fans won't even come on the 9060. Also can't really see the need for an under volt on the card as it clocks will never go very high. Only Guessing here but that would be my take

i also am trying to get into the whole audio over gpu thing where they use the gpu to offload some vst/plugins instead of using the cpu for them [music production or should i say attempted music production in my case lol]
so there is actually a use case to actually use both cards fairly hard not sure if i actualy can do this with 2 cards though probably find out hte whole audio over gpu thing only works on one card or something knowing my luck lol

just realised id only have 4 lanes of pcie to feed the second gpu with so perhaps trying to use it to process some of my plugins might be a bit fruitless lol
still think it would look cool though LOL!

9070XT performing well vs the competition in BF4. 
Mixing it up with a £949 5080. Lol.

I saw that yeah
I had this issue and absolutely no-one helped haha. Mine was related to the 144hz refresh rate and being 4k. At anything above 60hz the VRAM will jump to some value, I can't remember off the top of my head, which uses around 40w.
I fixed this by setting up VRR in windows, dynamic refresh rate in windows display options, so it could dip to 60 when not gaming. This allowed the GPU to drop to around 16w.
Are any of your monitor refresh rates above 60hz. If so, humour me and set them to 60hz and see if that helps. Then if fixing them at 60 helps, turn on dynamic refresh for windows of available. Make sure you have the correct drivers for your monitors installed.
This is what happened after installing new drivers a few weeks ago, VRR in the driver got disabled on one of my displays making the memory clock go higher, think it was around 900-1500Mhz. As soon as I enabled VRR on the fourth display I literally watched the memory clock in GPU-Z drop to double digit figures.
This is with 4 displays at 144Hz at 1080p, I guess higher resolutions have a lower refresh rate to where memory clocks start to ramp up.
Edit.. Ok just did a test, set Dynamic Refresh Rate to 'On' for all displays, clocks are low double digit but as soon as I move my mouse around the memory ramps up to 2505Mhz. Doing this with Dynamic Refresh Rate set to 'Off' and memory only hits up to 150Mhz when moving mouse around.
What a weird setting as it states 'To help save power..'

yes all of them are above 60
they are 165hz on display port and 144hz on hdmi and mine being the sapphire has 2 of each and it wont let me set the same refresh on the screens for some reason i only have different options i am working on this though
and similar power usage il see if i can find out how to turn the dynamic/variable refresh off lol might work
im still thinking a s econd gpu might be hte only way out of it lol and yes this seems to be since a driver update that this issue has started happening for me lol
I "downgraded" my display from a 4k mini LED 43" Samsung QN90C to the MSI 34" OLED 341CQP mainly to gain some FPS as the 9070 XT struggles at 4k but another retailer had it for £389 with bluelight card. £80 steam voucher too.
It's a Samsung second gen QD-OLED Ultrawide panel so no idea why they were so cheap. It's absolutely fantastic, basically identical to the 341CQPx with lower refresh rate.
Enjoying the higher FPS of the lower resolution.

And you don't miss the 4k resolution. I had a 34" then I went back to 32" 1440p. Now I have a 32" 4k OLED and it's amazing.
I am curious about the 39" Asus OLED though.

No, I sit exactly the same distance away from the 34" UW as the 43" 4k, so I've basically just lost height which wasn't important to me. It actually works better for me. 43" was probably too big for sitting 80cm away to be honest haha. The OLED is a big step up from the mini LED so it feels like an overall upgrade. Alan Wake 2 looks absolutely amazing on it, and I can actually run it native, unlike with 4k. I only game on my PC and I find ultrawides perfect for gaming. I had one before and missed it.
The 43" QN90C is still in the household. It's just now fitted to my lad's Series X.

I guess I haven't played everything that's been releasing recently but I'm still managing at 4K with my 9070XT. FSR 4 on performance for the most demanding games. I used to use custom ultrawide resolutions on the 3080 I had before to claw back some frames.

Any word on when the xfx mercury will be in stock?
Best to put that question in a web ticket on the main the site.
As you seem to be the last person to post to say they bought a pulse could you do me a favour? Could you download GPU-Z and save you BIOS and upload it somewhere please
I got an early production model as a replacement for a slightly later revised model and the fan curve has always annoyed me and I'm finally looking into how to fix it and I'm hoping flashing the BIOS might do the trick.
Also to everyone else, in GPU-Z on the advance tab either on the general page or bios page in the drop down menu do you see any information about fan speeds, target temps etc with your 9070XT? Like the information here on TPU bios page?
Mine is mostly blank but from a quick google seems I should be able to see the same information from within GPU-Z
Thanks
You can change the fan curve in the settings it’s easy to do. Save it to a profile with other custom settings.As you seem to be the last person to post to say they bought a pulse could you do me a favour? Could you download GPU-Z and save you BIOS and upload it somewhere please

Massive fan of ultrawide too, I love the extra horizontal real estate, adds a huge amount of depth for me.
Mine is a viewsonic with 75hz freesync. I had a 6700xt when I got it so was the highest I would need with the horsepower available.
With the 9070xt now in play I have been looking at higher refresh options, the MSI MAG401QR is a nice looking bit of kit at 40" UW and it's not curved which suits me better.
...BAD BEN!, STEP AWAY!
