I need to report a crime, someone seems to have stolen 8GB of memory from some of those cards!

The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Got an Asus RX 9070 XT prime OC, but the card doesn't fit my computer as my water reservoir is on the wayI was hopping to get an Alphacool waterblock for it but no one has it in stock, so I've ordered a Bykski one, let's see how it goes at least it was £50 cheaper.
I've put it on my second system while I wait for the waterblock
The card seems to be good, looks like it is boosting to around 3230mhz on air with around 52C on the core, 82 on the hot spot and 82 on the memory with default settings, drawing about 320W, didn't do many tests but so far looks good.
Soooo..
I ended up getting an Alphacool waterblock
Doing the same tests as before without any tuning or anything just watercooled, now the core hits 3370mhz, 33C on the core, 58C on the hot spot and 65C on the memory and the power draw 345W
Cooling -- Air - Water
Core ---- 52 -- 33 C
HotSpot - 82 -- 58 C
Memory - 82 -- 65 C
Power - 320 - 345 W
Clock -- 3230 - 3370 Mhz
Didn't play any games yet, so I don't know what will be the gaming clock speed

I thought id introduce myself given i just defected to AMD (card history gtx970,rtx3080). Ive purchased the 9070xt swift. Hopefully it all goes well. I might just reinstall windows instead of the driver removal approach but havent decided yet
I was running both Nvidia and AMD drivers at the same time last year while using both Ryzen 7800X3D iGPU and a 3060Ti, when I got the 9070 I just uninstalled the Nvidia drivers, deleted the Nvidia folders and reinstalled the latest AMD drivers over the top of what I had installed for the 7800X3D iGPU.
I honestly dont know why people go the long way around this without trying what I just said first. Its all running great and I've not had any crashes etc.
Just make sure you set per-game tuning settings as sometimes the driver will reset itself in some cases but the per-game settings dont reset

Ive cancelled my order unfortunately after seeing some benchmarks. I use triples for sim racing and it seemes amd software and performance is still behind. Which is annoying because single screen titles the 9070xt and 5070ti is a no brainer amd picj , its another £ £150-£200
For the sake of 200 quid I’d have tried it myself and made my own mind up. I’ve never had any problems myself with the drivers software.
Running 4x 144Hz displays from my 9070 without issues, runs better than my old 3060Ti regarding temps etc with no perf loss when gaming, not sure why you didnt at least test it out within your 14 day return period first.

Can you have 3 screens for the game and the 4th screen for something else?Running 4x 144Hz displays from my 9070 without issues, runs better than my old 3060Ti regarding temps etc with no perf loss when gaming, not sure why you didnt at least test it out within your 14 day return period first.
I mainly sim race
What software do you use to align the screens?
Never tried using an extra screen separate from the others, I usually use them all as extended displays. I have tested triple landscape (5760x1080) for DayZ and it worked fine, as long as you have your displays physically in line, there isnt much more for you to do to align them so no, I dont use any other software, I adjust them in Windows 11.
My displays are all same make and model so I guess that makes it easy
Maybe using a display hooked up to the motherboard, if you have an iGPU on your CPU, would create a separate display for other tasks but I never tested that part out.
You can do quite a lot with AMD these days, I ran 3 of my 1080p displays at 1440p144Hz using VSR a couple of weeks ago, VSR even let me run 8K on my primary display and I got around 45fps in DayZ
Like I said you had 14 days to test it out and then can return it.
What is your full system spec?

Im goiing back and forth, 5070ti arrives tomorrow. I know i can test and return but id rather return without opening
Well I'm late to the party but I've just purchased from ocuk some new components for a pc build. Been out the game for a couple years after selling up and now pairing up with a Gigabyte 9070 XT OC
Anything I need to know in terms of drivers or anything else?

Hi all. Just upgraded from a vega 56 to 9070xt and updated the drivers and chipset drivers but find the AMD software really laggy and slow especially when clicking on tabs, any ideas as it’s driving me nuts as it’s so slow.
If it's a fresh install just grab the latest and go
I spent a couple of frustrating hours last night troubleshooting black screen blanking. First manifested as my Samsung TV flicking Game mode on and off, once I turned that mode off it would just drop to a black screen for a second or two.
It was unpredictable, I've just upgraded from AM4 to AM5 so a few things have changed but it had been working fine. Furmark would run fine for 30mins and nothing ever crashed. Reset all OCs across the board, then installed CachyOS on a spare drive - still happening.
Feared the worst, power or GPU related. Or TV.

At about the 3 hour mark I gave the HDMI cable a wiggle. Sorted.
