6700 XT Owners Thread

Incase anyone is interested i did a quick stream of res evil 2 demo to see what it was liked maxed at 1440p.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/966627066

Keep in mind its doing 1440p stream, and had it locked to 60fps after the start about a min into gameplay as it felt smoother when looking around than higher, felt smooth when playing, seems ssr is still a bit iffy on amd cards for this tho, but they might not have updated the demo compared to fixing it probs in the full game so ah well. ssr is when i was looking at wall and saw the blotchy black bits sometimes.
Had amd RIS sharpening on 30% incase things looked sharper than normal.
 
Forgot to quote @Acme and reply:

I have an x570 board, so the default PCIE gen is 4 if left on auto. The NZXT H1 case it's in comes with a gen 3 riser card so I had to change the bios setting.

When Gibbo posted about these on the MM I gave a freind a call to ask if he wanted to purchase my RTX 2080 fro £350 and he jumped at the chance. So I ordered one of the 6700XT fighters figuring £100 for 2080Ti level performance is not a bad price. I know I could have got a lot more for my 2080 but my freind was desperate to upgrade his 970 and I hate scalpers.

I do still think overall the 6700XT is marginally overpriced compared to the older 5700XT launch prices, but these are different times and it's still not ridiculous prices.

So long story short. The 6700XT arrived today, plugged in uninstalled Nvidia drivers and installed AMD drivers (no DDU needed). It has been running Heaven 4.0 at ~99% GPU usage for the past 2 hours or so. Here is some info and specs below on my spare PC (used as a gaming PC by my son).

Windows 10 Pro (latest build)
5600X CPU
16GB DDR3200
Gigabyte X570 Pro motherboard
Fractal Meshify C case (closed)

Average temperatures
GPU = 74c
VRAM Junction = 72.4c
GPU Hotsport = 86.5c
CPU = 55c
Chipset = 65c
GPU Power Draw = 182 W average
Fan speed average is 1912 RPM, max is 2200 RPM.
GPU clock average = 2457 MHz

Though I have to say that even at 2200 RPM it is noticeable but not in any way obtrusive and I am quite picky about fan noise. Overall it is quiter than the RTX 2080 Inno3D Twin Fan it replaced. Build quality is a surprisingly small good quality true dual slot GPU for the price, with metal backplate included. It does not scream cheap but to be fair I expected this from Powercolor as they are second only to Sapphire for build quality on AMD GPUs. I could undervolt and OC but to be honest as this is a spare PC I prefer everything at stock for no hassle.

So temperatures and noise levels are definately good on this little GPU, right in around some of the best 6700XTs I have seen reviewed. The lack of thermal pads do NOT seem to be an issue at all and would at best reduce junction temp by a few degrees.

Well done Powercoler and well done OCUK for the helping people beat the scalpers

Hows the coil whine on these puppies?

Big navi with its high Mhz seems to suffer a lot with it? Anyone have any issues?

I have had 3x Big Navi GPUs over the past few months and have had zero issues with coil whine in any of them. 6800 had to be RMAd due to DP port issue, replacement 6800 sold in MM for the price I paid for it and now this 6700XT.

Seems to vary. Mine seems to be free of it (I'm quite sensitive to these things in terms of being able to hear them, less so in it bothering me in a gaming setting), but there's been a few people complaining that their cards are effecte dtoo.
 
In general to avoid coil whine keep your GPU frame rate limited to around your monitor FPS. THough even at 250 FPS it the 6700XT seems to have no coil whine issues.
 
I have a question.. with the AIB model SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT , the recommended PSU is 650W .. now I run an mATX build (b450m Mortar max) with no RGB (except for one little Phantek frame), 1440p monitor, a Ryzen 5 3600, 1TB hardrive and 1tb SSD (both powered through SATA on the PSU) and currently have a 550w PSU.

Do I really need to upgrade my current PSU to 650W?

I thought that perhaps since I run a micro system the power supply would be a lot less.

The thought of gutting the system and rewiring everything is not a nice prospect.

What PSU is it?
 
What GPU do you have in there at the minute? You can be assured that they give themselves some headroom when recommeding PSU. Though it would need to be a good standard of 550W PSU.
