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

[Besty]

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

I don't think you can go much wrong with either in quality mode. It's once you step out of quality mode I generally have issues.

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

what resolution ?

 

[jimhaumman]

what resolution ?

2560x1440
RT off, much higher FPS but power usage is still all over the place

 

[Sumanji]

Anyone got an Asus Prime card in the hands yet? Would be helpful to hear about the build quality, temps etc.

Make sure you tag @Thekwango in your response please

I started digging into undervolting. Off the bat the tuning area of Adrenaline is quite a bit different. There is no longer an auto-undervolt button. Though you can do it manually. New buttons are favor efficiency and favor performance. You also cannot change the power limit.

I tried manual undervolt. -100mv was a no go. Crashed in synthetic benchmarks. -75mv and ran the AMD stress test and it failed. I can run -50mv and pass the AMD stress test. Stress test seems pretty good at doing what it's supposed to. -50mv however was slightly worse in performance in synthetic benchmarks. Not sure if I lost the silicon lottery for undervolting.

How about overclocking? Well I can +200 and pass the AMD stress test. That is 3.5ghz, but how far will it go? +250 and the chip maxes out at 3.580ghz. Insane number for a GPU! Synthetics are slightly faster.

Favor efficiency does what it says. Very slightly lower scores for less power. Favor performace the opposite.

Given the changes to the tuning are my gut feeling is this card is quite a bit different than the previous gen and that is why tuning is setup differently.

For now I'm going to leave it stock with the custom fan curve. It runs great like that.

Which model do you have?
Vrams/hot spot temps with OC?
Mine is fine on -150mV 3330-3420mhz

Hmm that muscle dude from overclockers could undervolt his card a bit. I guess it's silicon lottery?

Have you done any diagnosis? What CPU do you have? What is CPU load? check GPU load against CPU load etc?

7600
Plan is to check other games

 

[RavenXXX2]

My type of card, understated black stealth.

That is terrible on amd GPU.

Literally the worst game for RT.

How's the temps on the gigabyte? I've tended to avoid them in the past however it is quite interesting being a cheaper model with higher clocks than the pulse/reaper. Plus has a 3x 8 pin connector.

So mine won't be here now until next week. Paid for sat delivery but looks like it didn't ship. Will cancel Saturday delivery on Monday. No bother my side still happy playing on my current card so will just wait for it to turn up.

 

[jimhaumman]

To be honest for me is the best looking card of the whole 9xxx line up.


Metro Exodus Enhance edition.
364W 69C core 44% fans hot spot 93 vrams 69

OcUK "shipped" my Pulse XT this morning but DPD isn't showing anything yet, meanwhile other store I ordered from cancelled the order due to stock issues, I'm sure if I had bought 1 at £660 from them they wouldn't of had such issues

Have you tried any under voting or OC on it yet?

 

[jimhaumman]

Yes I did but in games like Metro Exodus very intense game it draw 364W so without undervolting maks clock was 2980-3000mhz, undervolt by -150mV core goes up to 3100mhz. Power draw still 364W.
In games like Wukong with the same settings max clock was 3420mhz, but power draw is all over the place.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems a hungry card! I may look further into this card...

The card has dual bios doesn't it? Have you tried it and if so can you report on the differences?
This is the card I was able to order and glad to see someone has one to show off
