The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

yeah basically the same feelings here lol
but i can still undervolt the core and i still get fairly decent performance out of her think im at 7600 something ish in steel legend and i can probably get more if i play about a bit rarely ever gets above 49 degrees on the core upper 50s on the hotspot and mid 80s on the vram which all seems pretty decent from what ive seen others say they have so i cant really grumble too much
I have friends [yeah im not lying lol honest] who have 4080 supers and 5080s and they class my 9070xt as being practically equal in almost every way that matters to us as users which i feel is pretty decent praise considering it should be a tier gap between the two so im pretty happy with my 9070xt i wouldnt trade it for a 5080 even if it was a straight swap I would like to see what she could have done with a better memory oc but as it stands
i also think that the oc black screen issue might be partly driver related as in i think earlier on i could go a bit further on my memory before the black screen started happening the moment i clicked apply
and even though i was at a higher oc i think from memory the throughput was lower than where it is now when it black screens so again cant coomplain just seemed a bit disconcerting the way it black screened instead of slowed donw to warn me lol
 
I am currently playing around with -75mv, +10% power, and 2600MHz memory, and seeing around 7600 also.

I did try a bit higher in the past, and it wasn't 100% stable, but I also wasn't 100% dialled in on my CPU and RAM OC at the time, now that I am and I have my target system fan profile setup, I'm giving it a test again to see what it'll do, now I'm more comfortable on the rest of the system and that that's not causing issues.
In fact the ONLY issue I've seen now I've got that locked in is the Futuremark CPU test won't run, as I think the fact my BCLK is OC'd confuses it; but all actual stability tests etc are absolutely fine.

Still trying to work out the best GPU undervolt stability stress test too, it'll pass a Steel Nomad/Speedway Stress Test 20/20 loop no issues, but I synthetics just arent as a good a test as real games!

I mean, if I raise the UV to -100, it happily passes Steel Nomad (7669), but really not convinced that'll be game stable lol

I scored 7 670 in Steel Nomad

rest of the system is
tuf gaming x570 plus [wifi]
64gb [4x16] corsair lpx ddr4 3600
5900x
990 pro boot ssd
seasonic gx-1000 focus psu
think thats the relevant info
so we seem to be in the same region
i normally leave my uv at -45mv for general use but i think i was at either -75mv or -90mv or that region when i got the above score
so we seem to be landing in a pretty similar place generally
personally id be happy with the results you are posting
literally the only thing i would change on my card if i could wave the magic wand is i would go to
3xdp and 1xhdmi instead of 2 of each like ive got on the sapphire card then i wouldnt have the missmatched refresh rate issue with
pinning the vram at max clocks but i just bought a 6500xt sapphire pure itx to run the 3rd monitor off of to bypass that problem
as an aside i havnt played much in the way of games on this card but it had no issues running gta v at -90 or -95mv when i tried it
not really the acid test of the century i know but it did work ok lol
 
Might give the -100mv a go for the lols.

I'm really expecting to have to revert for a lower UV, but I know Helldivers 2 can get susceptible to crashouts if unstable so might just load into the game and leave it running a while in the tutorial.

score of 1 lol take it that was a crash not an actual score of 1?
and yeah im going to give -100mv a go now i mean the worst that can happen i guess is it crashes and I will be forced
to post a reply on here laughing about said crash i guess lol.
just occurred to me that since i got thsi 9070xt like 5 months ago the only game ive even touched is in fact gta v lol that and 3d mark and furmark
thats literally the only things my xt has actually met so far i should probably do something about that i guess lol.
you are making the upgrade itch for am5 kick off a bit seeing your 9800x3d mentioned lol despite this exact reply heavily suggesting
that I might not really need to do said upgrade, well not for gaming purposes at least lol. il see if i can bump my score up with a bigger uv later and report back lol.
 
It wasnt a score of 1, that just means passed for the Stress Test lol, Im not sure why they show the link that way.
If you click into the link, actual results across the 20 loop were 7669 to 7550, which is perfectly fine and within margin of error for a loop of 20, within 2%.

Helldivers Tutorial has actually been running for about 50 minutes at this point and hasn't crashed...the game is very CPU intensive so I'm wondering if some of my old undervolt stability issues really were the CPU/RAM just not being 100% locked in yet.
If it runs without issue until 6pm I may actually save this profile and give it a wider test, as I'd be pretty happy with this card if -100mv, +10% power, 2600VRAM actually turned out to be stable.

Helldivers 2 IS a game that would appreciate the upgrade though for you though, if you ever consider playing it, as it'll hit all CPU cores with decent load, especially in realworld sessions, part of the reason I moved off laptop as the load/heat/power consumption was actually bringing my laptop CPU to its knees and tanking the CPU clocks to low 3GHz region lol. It was playable, but it was neutering the 4080 mobile in the machine.

Honestly, so far everything has played considerably better on this machine over that one, with the possible ONE exception being Witcher 3 GOTY where its basically matching in terms of performance, but thats because I have the ingame RT set to max, and RT is a little better on Nvidia, and DLSS Quality is a little more performant than XESS Ultra Quality or FSR2 Quality; if I turn RT off, and run native, no upscaling this machine dances on it though; it just gets brought into parity when the full RT and faster upscaler are leveraged. Can't complain about essentially 4070ti performance at worse, in the worse case scenario; when its matching and fighting 5070ti or even throwing stones at the 5080 at times.

Can't complain really, given when I bought this GPU, the 5070ti was over £900, and the 5080 was around £1200.

Edit: -100mv crashed the driver after around 1hr 30.
Will go back to 75mv, happy with that if it turns out 100% stable :)

My taichi seems to have a slight hotspot issue.
I have standard power and a 105 mz voltage of sett. Fast timing and 2800mhz memory.
After gaming for around an hour( Liberty City) i have the following :
Memory temps 72.
GPU temps 54 but the hotspot is hitting 88 deg . Just seems a big delta. Any Taichi owners care to comment?

Ps: 7657 in Steel nomad

That hotspot is perfectly normal TBH, under high load, the hotspot of the 9070XTs is typically 25-30 degrees hotter than the edge temperature, probably because its a dense little chip; and the Taichi OC offers more wattage than basically any other model at stock (340W IIRC)

I wouldn't worry too much, your Steel Nomad score is good too.

I'd increase your power limit to +10% and you should see a bit more; if you dont mind a little extra heat and noise! You're on top of me without even increasing your power limit, and I don't have the ability to clock the RAM up like you do :)

It's normal for the card and not a cause for concern, mine does the same - it was discussed earlier back at release in this thread. Mine hits into the 90s when the limit is set to 374w and doesn't throttle.

NB. As pointed out at the time; if you had an NV card you wouldn't even know the hotspot in the current generation as it has been removed.

Well -75mv seemed to pass 4+ hours, so I'll give this an extended run. Can't be too unhappy, that's definitely better than some. During Helldivers 2 tutorial burn in, the average clock was over 3.2GHz :)

How many watts are you pulling. ?
 
Is it worth overclocking a 9070xt OC for BF6 ? Currently using a 27" MSI 1080p screen but plan on 1440p or 4k soon.

Whats it paired with. BF6 will be very heavy on CPU so thats going to be the bottleneck in most machines I think. (At least I expect it to be in my 5900x)

Looking at benchmarks for the beta, it should be possible. Obviously, FSR would help a lot, but at native 4k ultra, 60+ FPS may possible with your setup. With your CPU being a 7800X3D, most benchmarks videos are using the latest 9800X3D, so it's likely you'll get slightly less FPS than what is being shown.

Did you try the open beta?

There’s a little bit of silicon lottery involved but it’s always a good idea to do a bit of tuning. It is game dependent. I’ve been lucky on the. VRAM with mine which can do 2800 fast timing. -50 undervolt this will let it to boost to near 3200mhz
