Hello All

I need some help. I've received my stock 7900xtx and I'm having issues. First off it sounds like a jet engine. It's like it comes out the box overclocked. I've put it back down to 2500 but I'm not a fan of the drivers any help with this? Next is it's performing really poor. My 3080 could get 11000 port royal and 16000 time spy. The 7900 xtx gets 10000 port royal and 11000 time spy. I'm running a 850watt power supply with an amd 3800x. Any ideas on what I can do? Otherwise it's going back.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, ive tried using ddi and uninstalled but that doesnt work.
Im getting random lockups. temps are around 65-70 junction temp is hitting 110. gpu and mem are default. SAM and rebar are set.

This was interesting:

AMD 7900XTX Overclocking can lead to LESS performance... Here's how

but Im not getting slow downs on the memory.
 
ok thank you, ive given up testing. Shouldn't be compromising on a card that's 1k and slower than a 3080, 2x the noise. Its 17 degrees in my room:)

anyone else had these issues?
found my old saved benchmarks from my 3080 Time spy 16315 port royal 11906. 7900 xtx time spy 10927 port royal 10577:)
 
"Much like Nvidia, AMD’s latest cards run a little hot. AMD says the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can run at up to 110 degrees Celsius junction temperature during a typical gaming session, and I measured temperatures hitting nearly 100 degrees during demanding games"

Loads of noise now regarding this over heating issue. People saying to see if putting the case on its side so the card is vertical will fix the issue.... I might give this a go tomorrow as its boxed up ready for RMA. Thing is if the temps go down will that improve the speed of the card?
 
So DPD failed to pick it up the third day in a row so ive decided to do more testing:

Case up right

Oh dear. Still perform really bad either way the card sits
 
Sorry i'm probably boring people but i would love to get to the bottom of this. Why in port royal my GPU doesnt go above 80%. Is my 3800x bottle necking it at 1440p? The CPU load is around 20%...
