The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

After 2-days benching I believe that I have found the sweatspot for my card.

My System
*Ryzen 3600 @ 4.2GHz 1.3v (all-core)
*MSI B450M Mortar
*16GB TridentX 386MHz @ 3600MHz C14
*Corsair HX850W PSU
*MSI 5700 XT Gaming X

At 2100/1800 with +20 Power Limit my card runs 3% faster and 7% more-efficiently than stock clocks. This will remain my 24/7 clocks.

I was going to add benches @ 1900Mem, but after much-testing could get the card 100% stable in-combination with highest GPU clocks. 1875 seems to be the limit of my cards VRAM @ 2150MHz GPU.

The MSI Gaming X is a very-decent card. Despite having a smallish MATX case with just one intake and exhaust fan, the card remains cool and boost clocks do not throttle. The card
It makes a nice upgrade to my trusty, long-serving 290X - which after 6-years stll played every game comfortably @ 1080P, and many @ 1440P. If this performs as well as the 290X for 5-6 years I will be very happy.

Been playing some more with my Sapphire Nitro + Special Edition 5700 XT , I found I could pass Heaven Benchmark , Superposition Benchmark and benchmarks in few games but warzone would fail seems very demanding so just started off with warzone to test stability couldnt get close to your volts I upped it each time by 0.10v

this is what I have ended up with

2100mhz / 1850 / 1160mV / 25% power limit maybe I could go lower

This gives me ingame 2064-2070mhz also giving me slightly less temp while having faster clock speed over stock will test out longer thoight for stability for you to have that low voltage for them clocks is really impressive

What are your stock volts? The better ASIC's tend to run lower volts out of the box. My card lists 1143mV @ stock 2100/1750 clocks. I know that some cards start at 1200mV @ lower factory clocks.

Of course, other factors such as VRM's, IC's, cooling and PCB quality also come into play, so even a "golden GPU" can be hamstrung by the weakest-link.
 
I run at 1.075v at 2075mhz target using AB and it works well (Gaming X), not really played with the mem yet but not sure that's gonna be good;

I use AB as I find that Wattman loses settings a bit too often for my liking.

At stock it's 1.2v 2035 boost in-game gives around 2044-2055

At 1.075v with 2075 setting I get to about 2025-2030mhz in game.
That's good.

I can run this Sapphire card at 2150/1850Mhz @1.175v stable. That is exactly 2100Mhz in game.

Can also run 1950Mhz/1800Mhz at 1.000v stable. That's exactly 1900Mhz in game.

I was able to max the Powercolour out at the following.

2150/[email protected] stable, but this only gave around 2050Mhz in game.

1950/1750Mhz required 1.025v to be stable. That was 1850Mhz in game.
 
Fully stressing the card I get 69-71c and 90-94 junction , fan around 65%

Pretty sure if I replaced thermal paste would improve it but probably lose warranty

2100mhz boost , 1850 memory , 1.165mV , power limit %25 in-game 2064-2070mhz

NITRO+ RX 5700 XT 8G GDDR6 SE

I still need to test it more to be sure of stability

Where did you buy it?

If it was OcuK they may let you change it so long as you don't damage it. Changing the dry paste made a big difference to the Junction temp on mine.
 
So the bracket,5 pack of Arctic P12s, and gpu-mini adapter cable, came in from Amazon and I was able to assemble the fan bracket. Only 2 fans are needed, so 3 are being put up for sale. I assembled everything and closed up the pc case and my temps were extraordinary high. After some research, apparently, little did I know, that gpu fans don't pull hot air from the heatsink, they actually push cool air. So yeah, I had the fan orientation wrong. Oops.

Try #2: After taking apart everything and putting the fans in the correct way (fan grill faces heatsink, open fans face bottom of pc case), I actually really like it. They plug in straight to the GPU. These 2 fans are extraordinary quiet, and it took 2-3 hours of COD before I could hear anything from my pc. Even then, I had to put my ears up against it. This is with my headphones being off and my ceiling fan being off, all to reduce extraneous noise. Whats best is that this solution doesn't void my wtty, is very easy to do, and can be used for all future GPUs. Even if future GPUs have a massive 3 slot heatsink, I still have 2 slots extra, so I can just place it down one. Of course, the GPU (2 slots) and fan bracket (2 slots) now take up 4 slots, but I never had anything there, so that's fine with me. The OEM sapphire fan shroud, screws, and slot insert will go into a ziplock bag and stored in my generic pc parts box for RMA, or years down the line I want to sell this.

Quite happy, I now have a 99% dead silent pc under full load. Temps/noise will only get better when I delid the 6700k in a few weeks. Maybe i'll put the LM on the gpu too.

Stats during COD sessions:
90% PWM: 66C, 76C
70% PWM: 69C, 78C
50% PWM: 73C, 83C
45% PWM: 76C, 85C
40% PWM: 80C, 90C

bought it used for £280 I know its a risk not sure how I would go about with warranty think would need original proof of purchase from retailer
 
Had my Powercolor Red Devil warrantied but they have none in stock lol.

Hope get as good a memory overclocker as the one that died.

I had removed the cooler so no issue with the sticker. Not with OCUK though

That's a good setup, where did you get the fan mount?
