The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

what I would suggest is that we underclock the cards to the base clock speed (1,605mhz), leave the fans on 100% then reduce the voltage until stable and then use that mv figure. This will help remove any thermal or environmental conditions.

Any better ideas ?

So well this 5700xt start to beat the 1080ti by 20+ fps and run all games at 4k?

LtMatt · 17 Jul 2019 at 17:29

I've settled on the following clock speed and settings for my new 5700 XT AE.

2009Mhz (default 2063Mhz)
900Mhz (Default 875Mhz)
1.075v (Default 1.200mv)
Max fan speed 42% at 100c Junction temp

Under full load after 30+ minutes at 99% GPU usage running Rise of the Tomb Raider at 3440x1440P, i see a peak of 100C Junction temp.

Anyone else seeing frametime spiking in games that were smooth as butter on nvidia cards?

Is noise really that bad? I've watched a couple of videos but they never show what its like first hand. I'm use to watercooled cards so run pretty much dead quiet. Thinking of picking up a ref card tomorrow from a competitor for under £400.

Do you mind comparing a benchmark with me?
Name whichever 3DMark one you want as I've bought it.

I'll set my none AE to the same settings (Clock/Voltage wise)

It entirely depends what you want out of the card.

I game at 1080p on a 144mhz monitor, would like to play at a decent fps level as to utilize the the 144mhz.

I meant clock wise on the GPU.
If you want to max out the performance on the reference cooler you're going to get noise.

Hmm is undervolting an easy enough task to do? I'm use to overclocking things rather than undervolting them haha.

Firestrike Ultra?

Sure.

I'll run it now

If you're undervolting then you're not looking for maximum performance of the GPU.
You'll be able to get comfortable acoustics in that case and it's easy to do.

Thanks! I'll give it some thought, really do want a new gpu though and the XT seems like the wisest choice.

Noise is on the eye of the beholder here. A 40db triple fan RTX2080Ti is "silent" yet a 40db blower 5700XT is too loud!!!!!
Then you realize something is fishy going on with the reviewers.

What do you want me to post, score or temps?

Martini1991 · 17 Jul 2019 at 18:24

I don't think I can run exactly at your settings on Firestrike Ultra.
I think I need 1100MV.

And just score I'm after really.

Panos · 17 Jul 2019 at 18:24

@LtMatt & @Martini1991 wait (few days) for me you .......

Most likely, my regular 5700 XT required more voltage to pass benchmarks, and even more for long term gaming stable. Just add more voltage till you can complete the run without artifacts or crashing. You'll probably need more over a long gaming session mind.

I use to have 2 x 5870's in xfire with blower fans and by god they were loud haha! I've never had a blower fan since so as you can imagine im abit skeptical about getting another
