Hi all,

Got this about 10 days ago and after installing ran it through its paces.

First off, it shows it was built to a budget but as the cheapest full fat PCIE 4 in the Radeon lineup, it suited me better than the beefier ones lower in the stack.

Actually, all things considered it performs quite well with relatively small fans, no backplate and probably relativity light heat sinks.

My problem is despite good results in most aspects, it repeatedly fails Andrenaline stress test (latest version). It runs it without issues but always reports back as "stress test failed".

I initially thought maybe it needed more volts than stock but received the same message. Tried undervolting received same message. So essentially, despite running Unigine, CB etc fine it always "fails" AMD Andrenaline stress test.

So the question is has anyone found the same issue? I am essentially trying to work out if it is the GPU or driver issue before RMA.

Thanks

As an aside, this card responds very well to an undervolt. At stock, I think it was 1.1v, 157w, 2000MHz mem and temps of about 65c and 82c(junction).

With undervolt, running at 1.040v, 123w, 2100MHz and I think 53c/64c or 55/67.
