Done, I had it at 90% so I cranked it up.
GPU usage is now at 80%+

CPU usage? Seems you are bottlenecked there.

EastCoastHandle · 3 Oct 2019 at 02:01

OK, I just checked both BF1 and BFV and both hover around 60%-70% cpu usage while fighting in game.
I was wondering if I had a bottleneck issue but that doesn't seem to be the case.

BF5 especially is quad core killer. Thats known a year now. It doesn't have to go to 100% to see that you have bottleneck, that the GPU doesn't work at 98%-99% is a strong indication.
Google search and you will see what I am talking about

Well it's official

It's the exact same length of the Nitro Fury so no worries there if you still have one.

Also, I just noticed that they put 150W on my old Fury card heatsink and the heatpipes are copper. Not sure if that matters now with the 5700 Nitro+. The 5700 Nitro+ is a bit taller then the Fury Nitro though.

Another thing is that the plugs are inverted. I had to twist my 8 pin cables upside down in order for me to insert it. Not sure why they did that. But the quality is still there though.

Sorry for blurry port pic.

Welcome and on TROH.

My Nitro+ arrived on sunday, was a big step up from the venerable pitcairn toting 7870

300% uplift minimum.

Hitting a nice stable 2GHz out of the box at lower than 70c. :cool:

red eye · 3 Oct 2019 at 11:30

I’m about to fall off the fence and order.

Just need conformation on length, capillary someone be ever so kind and measure a reference xt please?

I know it’s on the spec but so was the 290 which listed 275mm my measurement 278mm. 284.8 is Close to touching the front rad, anymore and I’ll have to modify the rad

Thank you.

See ocuk has it at 284.8mm.
My 290 has a 10mm cooler overhang, can’t tell how much overhang if any looking at the Exploded pic of the 5700.

You have plenty of room. The 5700 non Xt is a tad shorter. 265mm.

The XT does have a bit of overhang measured from the end of the pcb - it is about 5mm.

With overhang it is - 10 5/8".

red eye · 3 Oct 2019 at 13:06

10 5/8 is shorter than my 290 10 7/8.

Wow you got me measuring American, it was hard work

.
Just got two jobs to do then I’ll put an order in

i'm also expecting a Nitro+, it will replace my trusty 780 Classified. I expect to be shocked by the upgrade!

Kevin Matthews · 3 Oct 2019 at 14:31

Anybody recommend what I set fan curve and memory at with the reference card? Have it currently undervolt to 800Mhz, 750mV and 2004 mHz, 1122 mV as auto has suggested.

All new to PC first build

If all ref XT are same, then your fan at stock will max out at around 43%. You leave it at auto or raise it to 45%. Depends on your ambient. your temp should stay below 90c gaming. Also, depends how much fan noise you can stand.

If you use Wattman, do not use afterburner. Wattman saves setting even after shutdown.

That's not the issue. I get over 2000Mhz and over 100 FPS in DX12 (over 96% GPU Usage). BFV DX12 is not that smooth though (common complaint regardless of HW).

However as soon as I go back to DX11 it's 70 FPS. Barely getting 1100Mhz.
Something is wrong and this game was just updated a few days ago. I'm currently playing the new Metro map.
Furthermore, I don't get low FPS issues in BF1, BF4. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue or game and driver issue at this point.

Edit:
Confirmed, With BF1 I get 2056Mhz rock solid but with BFV it's 1536Mhz. I use the same exact settings. Another thing too Vertical Sync doesn't work in BFV. Hmmm, it worked fine with my old card. But with this card it doesn't. We are talking about a 10 minute difference between me playing BFV and making sure vsync effecting fps (using the old card). And now, with the new card vsync doesn't effect FPS at all.

I might be ditching then ae and getting a nitro

If you do the bios switch is a small black tab that is actually underneath the PCB of the video card. It took me a minute because the rear heatshield was labled Bios Switch and I wasn't finding it (as the back part of the card is facing me).

This is what I found out about the 5700 XT Nitro
Far left = Software
Middle = Secondary (lower clocks)
Far Right = Primary (higher clocks)

Just got my Delivery of the "PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Dragon 8GB"
Add to The Honour List. @Kaapstad

I got mine as well yesterday and I have to say so far I'm very pleased with it

I'm running it with the "Auto Undervolt" option enabled in Wattman and it's running cool and quiet, with a small gain in performance as well.
