Red Dragon is £360. I’d say better value and quality, as well as 0dB mode.
But everyone has their own requirements.

From personal experience, a good DP cable is requirement for peace of mind.
Since started using DP1.4 HDCP 2.2 rated cable more than 2 years ago, stopped having any kind of issue.

Especially stop having to send the XL2730Z to Benq with flickering problems, even if used DP1.2a rated cable from 2015 when got the cable. (the one came with the monitor was DP1.1)
And all 3 monitors had to RMA during the 2y warranty period, suffered from that same issue after 5-6 months receiving the monitor and were brand new replacements all the time.

Good idea, going to see do you recommend any particular brand?

Yup power/cables is usually 95% of the problem.

Hadn't run Timespy since October and installing today the new drivers decided to give it a spin.

https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/9652878/spy/8798770#

6% higher graphic score with 19.12.2, than before with same settings I have set on the 5700XT AE for months now (1044mv, 1980Mhz).
CPU is low because only having 3600C16 XMP today, haven't tweaked the ram to 3800C16 yet.

What's the difference between the Powercolor 5700 XT and the Powercolor Red Dragon 5700 XT? They both look identical except the Red Dragon has some red on it.

I'm interested for an ITX SFFPC I'm looking to build.

Cheers

My Sapphire Nitro + special edition Temps still at least 90degrees, any ideas on to improve? Even with new driver update

FredFlint · 12 Dec 2019 at 23:55

My FuryX is starting to feel old, still runs games ok but the 4GB VRAM is a hard limit for some things so I just bit the bullet and ordered a Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+, hope it's not noisy.
Looks like it should be a nice upgrade:

90C junction or edge? If edge check if fans spinning. Junction, ignore it.

DP cables especially people simply don't realise that cheap cables wont cut it they need to be decent and preferably VESA certified. Been down that road myself.

What program do you use to check edge temp?

Panos · 13 Dec 2019 at 21:29

Kevin Matthews said:

Any. That's the normal temp recorded by all software including the drivers.

Junction is the sensor deep inside the GPU for boost purposes, which AMD publishes on the API.
Nvidia has one too but isn't accessible through to the drivers.

Okay I get you now, trying to undervolt with new drivers, how do you increase memory use to 900MHZ on previous driver can't seem to find it.

GPU Temp is 72c, and junction is 99c. Normal settings all okay?

Reference? Yes. But you can improve by undervolting or raising bit the fan speed.

Here. "old" 900Mhz is 1800 with the latest drivers. (turned off GPU tuning so it could fit on 1 screen

)

But must say I love the new UI, especially because we can enter set values and not fiddling with the points and curves

Who needs 3rd party software ffs.... oh forgot, Nvidia users
