The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

[Panos]

Any idea what sort of temps it would need to be under to not throttle? Temps were taken from the radeon overlay thing using crtl+shift+o. gpu fan was running at around 2300. not sure if that's high? but tbh i could hardly hear the card lol

putting my hand to the exhaust at the back of the pc it was very very hot air coming out, so its clearly shifting some heat but obviously not cooling

Until 33% the fan is not audible, the air only is. AMD has set default to 20% where the only thing you hear is the moving air.

My findings after my first night with the card is that it is VERY HOT and low to mid 90's. seemed to settle at 95degree while playing witcher 3. I would not call it loud though, compared with my old 7970 that card was a lot lot lot louder and that was a gigbyte windforce version. But the temperatures are very worrying.

I saw temp above 76C was when I was playing with the setting where it clocked to 2500Mhz burning 209W instead of the usual 148W. Otherwise all night sat at 60-65 at around 1980Mhz. Do you have descent POSITIVE airflow on your case?
And spare that "is hot" in UK. I live in Greece and in the middle of Thessaly where it hits 40C these days.

There's no way your card was genuinely 2.5Ghz.
It's far more likely to be a clock bug.

I found the fan fine at 40%. The overall 5700XT package isn't as bad as Vega 64, but it's still an own goal because you can't really comfortably get the most out of a reference 5700XT like you can a 2070s

Although gamersnexus recently did a piece about not just looking at your clocks but validating the results as even though everything checks out the results might not.

Overclocking results seem a little inconsistent too.
More like 10% from stock settings to as far as will go with soft play mod.

Ofc not. Usual I was gaming bit over 3h last night last night at mid 1900s, with a light undervolt and the card was operating 63-65C at 30% fan speed.
That 2500 i do not remember the settings I was using, but the aircon kicked in the room around that time Probably got a blast of cold air and decided to boost for few seconds.
Before the crash

So here you got it. If we put a freezer on it.....

2500 wouldn’t surprise me tbh under LN2 mine flashes up 2200mhz occasionally

 

[caliberlife]

Is there any difference between 50th and normal XT version for hitting these MHz?

 

[antsm81]

I've got the 50th and if I set it to around 2170mhz (forget the exact mhz setting) it will be around 2090-2120 on firestrike. That was at 1.2v and 40% power.

 

[BOFH]

New driver seems to have resolved wattman constantly freezing when I try to change stuff

need more data to know for sure, i would wager at this point that the AE undervolts slightly better at stock clocks. Won’t be much in it though.

So now that the dust has settled, it doesn't seem to beat the 2070s on average but gets consistently close enough vs a 2070s stock to justify it's price tag. However, considering the crappy drivers from AMD, coupled with the fact that 2070s does seem to have about 200mhz headroom OC putting it closer to an 2080, the extra 100$ isn't completely unjustified either. The 5700xt no longer seems to be the cemented choice in this price segment.

Needs a pricedrop in order to really shift imo, maybe that'll come when the 5800 hits.

I'm thinking the 5800 hits the shelves around BF/xmas. Making the 5700xt drop nicely and hopefully the drivers have matured enough by then.

Hard to say, but it should be a more interesting place 12months from now for all concerned especially the high end. The mid-range is reasonably well covered atm, a bit of price inflation sure but not the fleecing at the high end.

While I think the 2070S is worth the premium over the 5700XT, the fact remains that they're at 2 different price points.
The 5700XT would be a lot better of a prospect if it had a better reference cooler.

Many lines i dissagree with in this post.

1."2070s stock to justify it's price tag" Niether 5700/5700xt/2060/2060 super/2070/2070super/2080/2080 super/2080ti have the right msrp for the cards they replace. So 5700xt should be in 300-350 usd range with 2070 super. Only buyer is loser in this gen.

2. "considering the crappy drivers from AMD" To be honest i have had more problems with Nvidia drivers to date(both maxwell and pascal cards). This is an old statement mostly found in wccftech troll department.

3."200mhz headroom OC putting it closer to an 2080" This is true for both 2070 super and 5700xt when oced the proper way.

4. " choice in this price segment" 2060 super and 5700xt is in the same price segment.


Right now at current drivers RDNA and Turing have about same ipc when compairing cores and mhz or flops. 2560 (5700xt) and 2560 (2070 super) perform about the same at same clocks(some games favor nvidia some amd). Think even RDNA has some 1% lead in ipc avg over some games tested in one review site. 5700xt and super has about same max oc on air(2050-2100) and (2150-2200) watercooled depending on silecon lottery. Big problem is that many reviewers get strange results many all over the place. Many cases likly thermal trottling or max 50 % powerlimet set with 1.2v witch result in bad avg clocks for the radeon cards not to mention an great power draw. Only reason to buy 2070 super is RTX or if you play Nvdia sponsor games to justify 100 dollar more. The stock cooler on 5700xt is fine if you undervolt when pushing for higher core clocks.

Would love if some 2070 super owner did some scaling charts for voltage / clocks/ power draw temps cooling etc.

I agree, so if the XT drops to £299 with non-ref coolers the price and performance will be at excellent balance.

Yet it has the best price performance already.....

It's the best price/performance in a GPU market that's overpriced.
And those prices aren't realistic for the Vega 64/56. On OCUK the most expensive Vega 64 works out at $400 for example, and it's been cheaper.

AMD had the chance to really be disruptive in the market and frankly they haven't capitalized upon that.

The 5700XT's an acceptable product at an acceptable price point. But that's it.

Completely agree with you here.

For me it will eventually sit around that price - or with deals now and again; could include games etc - offering untouchable value. Leave the > £400 for nvidia to milk.

If people want to spend over that amount for a dedicated GPU then dont complain about micro improvements since 1080Ti territory. It was probably started with the Titans but I would never be into top end as I am happy to go with whatever £2-300 gets me.

It's the best price/performance in a GPU market that's overpriced.

That's what I was getting at but @Panos didnt quite follow me.

I think picking up the 5700XT with partner cooling and game bundle offers would be correctly priced at £299. That's where it needs to sit, and will one day. Like when vega 56 dropped below £300 they flew off the shelves.

 

[muon]

Anyone else getting sound glitches with videos?

edit: Just noticed new drivers. Will see if they fix it.

Following up on this. Turns out it had little to do wit the 5700XT.

It was fixed by my most recent motherboard bios update. So must have been something to do with the Ryzen 3600 (installed same time as 5700XT) combined with the motherboard.
