*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[adidan]

Yup there's what £30-£50 difference? Pointless going for the non XT

If the non XT was £100 cheaper yeah that's ok

I thought that then I bought one as it will at least fit in my case

Looks like if you're lucky with silicon you can up the power limit to 110% and get just about XT results in gaming. Somebody posted a vid link earlier, can't remember where.

But yeah if you have the space the XT is an easy upsell. (e: at 569 anyway)

Thoughts on a 2080ti to 9070XT jump for 1440p? In all fairness the 2080ti does fine for what i want but im thinking i can prob get a £200 for the 2080ti? and throw £350-400 at a 9070xt for a cheapish upgrade? Just not too sure on how much of an uplift i'll see. I'm not too fussed about RT

According to technpowerup, +87%

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Specs

NVIDIA TU102, 1545 MHz, 4352 Cores, 272 TMUs, 88 ROPs, 11264 MB GDDR6, 1750 MHz, 352 bit

Hmm i googled but must have missed that

Got my Nitro through this afternoon, really happy with the limited time I've had already, managed to dig out my old HD4870 from the last time I had team red, just shows how big these things are these days.

Setup has been really straight forward, from the few tested games so far it's been a pretty sizeable upgrade. Helldivers 2 is double, Dragons Dogma 2 is double with ray tracing now enabled, Returnal is about double with ray tracing now on. I had a little notepad with some random games tested so will post some results at some point. Not clocked it up/undervolted yet, I'll have a go at that over the weekend. Temperatures are really good, it's barely been over 60c so far and is practically silent as well.

Edit* @Zenduri I've come from a 2080ti as well ^

Apparently I was misinforming people that the reaper runs too hot 90C is toasty even if it is within spec- will hurt the vram long term- imagine putting your finger next to a boiled kettle at 90C for hours- eventually you get burnt?

lol, yes it was me who told you off and here you are still spouting the same FUD. If this was school you would be getting extra homework for not listening

GDDR6 is rated up to 105c and possibly even 120c

My 3080 FE would hit 95c regularly and even over 100c on occasion. VRAM will not fail if run at these temperatures for hours because a GPU will thermal throttle itself. There were 3000 series owners who bought new thermal pads and had to dismantle their expensive GPUs to install them. All to get temperatures as low as the 88c - 92c you guys think are “too hot”.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/mb7wnt/completed_my_3080_fe_vram_thermal_pad_replacement/

A bit of advice, if you are sitting with your finger against a GPU while gaming for hours, you need to go see a shrink for the self harming

Incidentally, you will begin to suffer burns at about 45c. So even if your VRAM is running at a nice “cool” 75c, holding your hand against it for hours will cause serious burns. Please don’t do this

Just for clarity, 90c on VRAM is not “too hot” and will not cause any long term damage as you alluded to. Well unless you are holding a very sensitive body part against it

 

[Grim5]

ok...

Load:
clock speed 2800 (+- 50hz)
fan speed 3157rpm (holds here, assuming this is 100%)
gpu temp 85 (+- 2degrees)
gpu hotspot 113 (moves between 110 and 117)

Idle:
clock speed 100
fan speed 0
gpu temp 48
gpu hotspot 49

I've taken a video, listen to those fans. lol

Looks like some sort of mounting error with the cooler

 

[Grim5]

Brutal, man fsr3.1 is still so bad, hard to believe amd users have put up with this for so long, fsr4 is amazing and everyone should be getting a 9070xt just to use fsr4

 

[jimhaumman]

moogleassassin sorry mate but this is RMA time​

bad contact between cooler and card itself

 

[Yaayuh!]

I know it’s blasphemy to mention consoles in here, but it looks good for whatever the next consoles might be.

 

[Thekwango]

gpu hotspot 113

I’m pretty sure that’s approaching or even exceeding it’s thermal limit so does appear more like a dud I’m afraid.

113C now that’s fine not too hot thanks @ICDP for educating me.

Yea ^^That^^, typically you'd expect something like a 10-20°C delta between GPU and hotspot.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's also down-clocking on occasions as, unless it's different for RDNA4, it will throttle around the 115°C mark.

Haha, yes that is indeed “too hot”. You win this time. Damn you and your minor victories

 

[fs123]

From X again..Guess which is FSR3.1, FSR4 and DLSS4 ...

https://twitter.com/x/status/1897726878552637717

EDIT: FSR4 is on the left and DLSS4t on the right.

 

[GhostDog1981]

Kind of relieved all the drop hype is over tbh.

Back to normality.

Well done on those with quicker fingers than me. Enjoy your 9070XT lovelies.

Any coil whine?

Thanks.
Now what I need is 4K oled screen
Standard coil whine with high fps.

 

[Parky]

Any coil whine?

Nothing so far, I had the side panel off and if anything it's highlighted how loud my case fans now feel.

 

[jimhaumman]

Could someone try playing Wukong with RT on low/medium.
In game menu gpu is pulling well over 300W, but in game 100-250W, fps is rubbish

IDK FSR4 was developed with the help of Playstation, makes sense but it's always nice to see companies working together for the benefit of consumers.

AMD confirms that PlayStation assisted in FSR 4 development - OC3D

AMD's new FSR 4 upscaler is the fruits of Project Amethyst, an AI collaboration with Sony PlayStation. "This is the beginning" AMD claims.
