The Radeon RX 5700 XT Owners Thread.

Last one from me tonight to update that I’ve just rebooted using only my old monitor and the card temps are sitting at 44.
The latest drivers may not like my (admittedly) janky setup of using my old iMac in target display mode whilst I wade through the quagmire of getting a decent 27” screen. I’ll do some more tests tomorrow to see if I can confirm this but it’s reassuring that it may not be a hardware issue with the card.

<Sigh> When you describe that you have a problem you say everything you have out of ordinary also. We cannot troubleshoot and help if single power cable with splitter is used, passive DP to DVI adapter, using Windows 7 or "janky setup with old iMacs" :P

All those 4 issues had to resolve yesterday in here and on reddit :P

So what you mean by "janky setup"? We might be able to help still this sacrilegious act using Apple on PC :D
 
Yeh 2 pcie cables are a must.

Was running my Pulse 5700xt for a week using a single pcie cable. Lots of crashes to the desktop while gaming.

Started using 2 pcie cables and the problem has gone.

The issue with this is that these PSU's were fine, and in fact were designed to power two cards and now they're unable to power one.
And they're still being sold, so it's not like there's some new fang dangled PSU standard.
 
Well spoke too soon.

Issue is back again.

Using a Vengeance 750m Silver PSU (should be enough)

Was working fine untill I enabled Gameboost on the motherboard. I have disabled Gameboost but it's back crashing back to the desktop while gaming, more than before.

Any ideas anyone?

Have you tried another cable in another plug hole on psu? Just to rule out lose pin on plug

What is "I enabled Gameboost on the motherboard"? Which motherboard?

OK I looked at it. You RAM & CPU are affected not your GPU with this. Reset your mobo bios.

Sorry. The mobo is a Mortar Max.

Have connected another pcie cable into a differnet slot of the PSU. Pcie cables on the PSU side have a pin missing right?

Have reset the mobo as per manual, F6 rather than the cmos.

I do have 3200 ram which needs a xmp profile setting via the bios to obtain the advertised speed. Although this should not affect the GPU.

Have checked the mobo bios and seems I am running an older version. Not really comfortable with flashing the mobo bios though.

The GPU slot seems to be running on PCI 3 under the bios settings, which when using PCI 4 seems to create problems according to many reported problems.

The rig was running fine last night and this morning under load after I added the extra pcie cable.

Will see how this goes.
 
Yeh marked pcie on the 6/8 pin spilt end, then Type 3 on the other end, with an 8 pin connector with a missing pin inside.

There is another cable 8 pin to 8 pin marked CPU, with no pins missing, which is for the CPU connection I assume.

My cable is the 2nd above with the blue missing a pin.
 
Hey. I have a strange worry on my mind. I know it's silly, but:
I bought a new PC (3700X x570 aorus elite and a 5700 XT) and 10 min after starting my PC and playing unreal tournament 1999 (Don't ask me why LOL) The PC crashed and didn't stop crashing no matter how hard I tried to fix it.
I had to bring the PC back to the shop and they replaced my GPU.
I've been using the PC for 9 days now, and it's running perfectly. But I am still scarred with the whole experience and did not try to run unreal tournament 1999.
Please assure me that it's just a coincidence and that there is no way a game could cause this to a GPU.
Thanks!

It was a hardware fault, which has now been fixed by replacing the graphics card, so you're good to go and play your games :)

It was just a random fault, no need to worry :)
