6700 XT Owners Thread

Dropped the mv to 1130 and upped the fan speed a few percent. It dropped 15 degrees on the hotspot playing Fallout 76 and by 10 degrees playing NFS Unbound so think I'm ready for Starfield now. :D

Does anyone know why half the metrics have disapeared off Adrenaline? I'm on 23.7.2. It's the same with CPU side as well. All I have is utilisation and temp.

I can't find the wattage anywhere on GPU side.

This got me too. The main sections are expandable now, just click on the arrow;

I don't use the AMD Overlay anyhow, it takes about 2/3% of gpu away! I use AB instead.

I only use it when setting up a game and initial testing. If I need to log then I use HW Monitor and look at the max temps after a game. I have no idea if HWM uses any resources. Either way I can play starfield on 1080l and hopefully high settings and all my other games are now maxed out, super happy!
 
Is having a 20 degree hotspot over GPU temp normal on the Sapphire Pulse?
I think it's due to my case, a Silverstone TJ08Be.

I think my Red Devil was usually only 10c higher in gaming for the most part, but some games could push that up to 20c higher.

Thank you. Think I should try a new case. The Deepcool CH370 looks like it's GPU air cooled focus. If that works then I can get my clock speed back up.

Oh yeah, just looked at the Silverstone, not much airflow there!
Gamer's Nexus do a lot of really good in depth case reviews, might be worth a look.

I wouldn't be losing any sleep over it. What are the temperatures?

With it undervolted to 1135mv and core clock 2400 I'm hitting 100 hot spot and mid 80s core temp.
Going to get an MSI M100R case. Will be more than double the airflow.
 
hotspot is the temp overall of the card not a actual hotspot, or so a site i read said. Wouldnt worry about it, mine was like 90-95 when playing jedi survivor but normal gpu temp was 70 i think.

Ok will have a look for some lunchtime reading:D
If I don't undervolt then my card hits the 110 limit and throttles hard. I have a new case and some fans coming tomorrow so if things improve with that then I know it's just a lack of air. If it doesn't improve then I will have to do some more tweaking.
 
I have read some cards like sapphire nitro ones can be a bit high hitting 110, i also remember hearing some cards had poor paste applications or something.

What are you doing at the time when its hitting 110? Does the throttling affect gaming as in smoothness, not paying notice to any fps drop? Does vsync or capping fps help keep it from getting too high on the hotspot?

At the time I'm playing starfield at 1080p high. I had the adaptive refresh rate enabled in AMD control centre but that is now disabled and I game vsync is on. I will try to look more into the temperature spikes tonight in different areas and see where the card heats up the most.
Yes is throttles and lags out with inventory screens not loading images of the items but the text is there.
 
Tried 1100mv or 1125 underclock yet? Might be doable. Could be sf is taxing the system more as new game im not sure. Limiting the fps down 5 or 10fps might help not push it as much and prevent throttling? A repaste on vram and gpu core might help knock the hotspot down but that will be up to you if u wana try. New case if mid tower might help but bit extreme to change for heat reasons imo as a lot of work but again up to u to decide that. I hope u can find a way without needing to do anything too involving. G luck.

I did see a reddit post saying on planet with lots of grass and trees bumped the gpu temps high, maybe u can try a optimization guide to be not as demanding at them places perhaps?

I'm getting a new case as mine is from pre 2012 and I fancied something new.
I will certainly look into the optimization settings for SF and repasting is something I will only do as a last ditch attempt of desperation. Thank you for your advice and help.
