Here's a pic of the msi card in my pc and even though its a small case the cards runs in the 50's-60's while gaming, all at stock speeds though. Sorry about the glass reflections. I dont see the point having a large case if your not going to use all the room up as it only takes up more desk space.. I like small and discreet, even though I have a huge screen..lol

Nice set-up, plenty of munchies, all you need is one of those mini fridges for the pop. :D
How often do the games you play have issues with this aspect ratio/resolution & which games?

Click to expand...

I only play dirt rally using the full resolution of 3840x1080 because the incar view looks dam cool. I have made a custom res of 2560x1080 that I use with most other games I have, this is because of 2 reasons.
1 there's too much happening on the screen at 3840x1080 and it messes with my head.
2 I cant do with the stretchyness of games at the sides using the full res.

Getting the aspect ratio correct has been a bit of a pain as I play games like the "command & conquer series" and "alien isolation" that stretches to fit the entire screen at low resolutions, unless I set it to "scaling mode: centre" in the ati settings/panel... Games that forces you to play at the full resolution and wont change, I have found that changing the resolution before you run the game works. So for those games I use "display changer" that changes the resolution to whatever (2560x1080 for me) before launching the game automatically and then automatically changes the resolution back when you quit the game.

I was thinking games like Dirt rally would be where it shines, I use a 21:9 which is pretty good but I can see how much better that would be as part of a sim racing set up.

So a little trial & error needed. :)

Weird all these issues people are reporting. I've had none however...I had fresh install of W10 on X570 and only ever used 5700XT drivers, no legacy or Nvidia leftovers messing things up.

I suspect if people put their card in a similar system most of the issues would disappear.

Well I went 2070super,plug in and play straight away as it should!

Fresh windows install etc did nothing,processer is a 3700x maybe they clash.....but hey ho playing Warhammer in 4k now

Yeah its pretty impressive as you can see out of both windows and you dont notice the stretchyness going on at the sides, as your main focus is the middle of the screen.

I think the res I use for most of my games is 21:9(2560x1080), as the strechyness is not as noticeable and you loose a few inches left and right of the screen. So basically you loose the worst of the strechyness left and right and its easier on the head/eyes to take in
 
What market share does the 5700xt have over the other cards? This seems one of the best value for money cards around imo.


@Phil2008
Abit off topic : but what do you use for dirt rally controller or wheel?
 
Troezar said:
Same processor as me, must be something else going on. So many variables...
Click to expand...
There are indeed ,first card had major frame rate drops and generally really poor FPS.

Second most of the frame rate drops issues went(flame effects seemed to be a big problem) But still poor FPS.

1060 and 2070 , brilliant.

The only difference from the setup I had and his is my monitor was 60HZ without freesync and his is 144hz with freesync.

Here's a compilation of information about RX 5700 driver issues.
Especially notable to you is GN Steve suggests there is a specific issue with 144hz monitors (although I have had black-screen issue on a 60Hz)

As discussed on Hardware Unboxed reviewers are not seeing the widely reported issues with AMD drivers so they must be related to specific configurations/combinations of software.
Steve of Gamers Nexus directly confronted AMD about driver issues and got an informative response.
Steve also sent his staff home with 5700 XT cards for them to test in a home environment. They did find some issues.

Update:
Also now a whole Hardware Unboxed video on the subject.

That's a shame but I'd definitely use one of those for a sim specific build, I don't think I'd be happy with that res, When I went Ultrawide I moved from a standard 1080p monitor which I used VSR on to a 2560x1080 Ultrawide which I quickly switched for a 3440x1440 model because the UW1080 res looked inferior to the old 1080p model with1440p VSR & at that time AMD didn't support UW VSR which they do now.
Your monitor must be awesome for multitasking.
 
Interested to hear from people using a 5700 XT reference edition GPU (Anniversary, or the other two reference versions) with the stock cooler .

I would like to know what the temperature difference is between the GPU temperature and the GPU Junction temperature on your sample.

Using a 5700 XT Anniversary Edition and I see roughly a 20c difference under heavy load.

This is quite a minor but annoying problem I have with the 5700.... With my r9 290 the ratio was correct and the display was nice and square in the middle of the screen before loading windows, but now with the 5700 the display is all stretched and I have messed with the monitor settings but I cant get it so its not stretched... With a 49" ultrawide screen its stupidly stretched and just looks ugly when in the bios or booting into windows.. Is it one of those things I just have to put up with or can something be done?

Should be a setting in the BIOS to resolve that, using a 49’ displays here.
