The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

i normally have mine at -45mv and find that performs really nicely with the +10% power limit i get more than stock performance and ive not had any issues related to the -45mv undervolt ever since having the card a few weeks after release
which has relatively impressed me
i have noticed that i get no warning when you go too far with the vram
i swear it use to hit a platau with the ecc and youd jsut back off
now i can do 2730 i think it is one more click and instant crash and reboot
no warning just black screen and a few seconds later llogin screen all setitings back to default lol
so i leave it at 2728 which is actually a bit close to the limit i should probably back it off a bit to like 2700 just to be safe
temperatures are really good with these settings ive found though lol
fair play for being able to run games at -100mv thats far more than i thought would be practical and achievable im impressed

You have to set a negative offset for the frequency too to get better results.
My card is only stable at -40mV if i leave the frequency offset at 0 just like you.
You need to set a negative offset between -100 and -200Mhz, you'll see that you'll be able to achieve probably around -80mV and get higher frequencies and better performance.
Moreover your memory frequency is probably too high, mine never crashed at 2700 but was too high leading to worse performance than setting it to 2685.

It's definitely possible. I've been running -100 / -95mV since the card launched and I'm stable in every game. That's with a positive offset of 200 MHz on the clock. With a negative offset I'd also hit -100mV or less but I settled on -95mV with positive offset as it gives better in game performance for me.
10 months in, still going strong.

Some of the games I play:
Cyberpunk
Arc Raiders
Horizon Forbidden West
ACC
F1 25
BF6
Indiana Jones
Alan Wake 2

Mine is at minus -65mv, pwr+10%, with memory at 2576, clocks to 3.15-3.3 in most games. Unfortunately memory is the weakspot on my card. 2600 can be hit and miss, even with normal timings, and anything above is instant black screen, so generally stick with 2576 normal timings.

Didn't win the lottery on my Nitro+, it does however run quiet which is something, system fans are louder haha

I've got Hynix chips and can run just over 2800 without crashing but performance drops off in some games, although not benchmarks weirdly. My best scores are with the VRAM at 2800. However when doing a GPU mem test I found 2760 with fast timings to be the sweet spot where I didn't lose bandwidth due to errors.

There's loads of indications as you go through life, that one is getting a little bit older. One of them, is that I read these posts and laugh at myself and my water cooling days etc.. now I just slot the card in and play with no tinkering whatsoever, everything at stock. :)

ive found negative offset seems to pull my benchmark scores down slightly as it goes
however i havnt proper messed about with fast vs default timings etc theres still a few experiments i can do to try get more scores but tbh ive kinda had my fun with that side
got an above average score on steel nomad and kinda decided yeah thats good enough now to find more sensible daily settings that are stable for normal computer usage, I
need the pc to be stable and solid because last thing you want in the middle of recording is the pc suddenly deciding to go high latency or crash or whatever. gaming is very
much not this machines main task that i use it for its rare i game on her really.
i found positive offset didnt help with scores either all that much. i seem to have found more extra score by messing about with undervolting and doing stuff with the cooling
case airflow etc. which is the actual thing i most enjoy with my pc other than the using it to make music the techy side i enjoy is cooling hence why im using noctua 200mm
intakes and the over the top ndh15 cooler etc . I will have a mess about with the negative offset see if i can get more out of her that way, might be something that works
better with my other settings not as they are now.
also whilst im here welcome to the rdna 4 ownership and hope you enjoy yours as much as ive enjoyed my own so far. really like this card its one of the best purchases
ive made for my pc
 
Thank you. Yep this is definitively one of the best card i owned. I have the Hellhound i believe this is top 1 or 2 best midrange model with good cooling and very low noise.
I'm very glad i didn't get a 5070/Ti and chose AMD instead for my usage, optiscaler is a game changer.

Just bought dying light 2 and it has a benchmark. I’ll have a play today trying out different tuning options. It’s got ray tracing so will give the card a good work out. I’ll post results here once finished.

Greetings!

Maybe someone could help. Bought a new Sapphire 9070 xt nitro+ but it is capped at 270W, no matter what I do.

It is connected directly to the PSU with a native 12V 2x6 cable. The cable is seated well.

A fresh windows installation, no other 3rd party GPU software installed.

When trying to push the GPU, the hotspot never goes over 55C even at 100% GPU load.

The PSU is more than capable, 1000W FSP Hydro Ti.

How to get more than 270W power limit from this card?

Dual BIOS on the GPU?

I was going to suggest the same. I think the nitro has a quiet BIOS.

Was looking all over the card, there is NO switch I can find. Also, the Sapphire page states there is only a single BIOS on the card. Multiple reviews of this card confirm that this card has a single BIOS.

Maybe there is a hidden switch?

So to clarify, if you run 3dMark Steel Nomad benchmark, with the AMD performance overlay on and Vsync/Freesync off, it never goes above 270W with GPU @ 100% useage?

Tried Steel nomad, Vsync off, Freesync off, and it never shows over 269W on AMD overlay. Tried to increase the power limit slider to 10, but nothing changes.

Yes, that is the only BIOS version, and my card has it.

Check V-sync is off in the drivers and in the game. I'd also be tempted to see what your power limit is set to in the tuning section.
