Good to hear. Using a 5700 XT AE myself here without any issues.

Thats great. I realise there are lots of people having issues, but its good to see people reporting positive experiences as there has been so much bad press lately.

Thanks, that's very helpful, just trying to decide if I go for the stock cooler or an aftermarket model?

The stock cooler is not loud at stock, but anything over the stock fan speed of 42% and it does become loud. Depends if you will find this annoying or not. If you want a silent system you should go with an AIB model. AIB models also have better clocking memory.

You can find some nice deals on a 5700 XT reference cards though and these can be tuned nicely to get very close to Radeon VII performance (with the Radeon VII at 1802/1200Mhz) at half the price, providing the game in question does not want more than 8GB video memory. I use a Radeon VII and a 5700 XT and like them both, but the Radeon VII runs quieter (once tuned fan speeds and undervolted) for similar performance and has twice the memory.

The 5700 XT AE Edition is £440 from AMD and not worth the extra over a reference 5700 XT at £350 or lower in my opinion, even though i have one myself and really like its looks and performance.

I've had the standard XT reference and the AE edition and the AE Editions come with 40-80Mhz higher core clocks on average so will overclock and undervolt slightly better.

I got 5700 XT AE for £320 few weeks ago for a 2nd system when UK retailer was selling them,really happy with it for that price. Will put a block on it though as don't really run air cooling unless for testing purposes.

Yes i saw that, it's been removed now as it shouldn't have been available outside of the AMD Shop. You got a bargain my friend!

They have them only available in system builds now.

What is the stock core clock showing in Radeon Software > GPU Tuning for your AE Edition?

Steven Rimmington · 24 Feb 2020 at 10:40

I decided to try an OC and got lost in the Radeon software. Used MSI Afterburner instead. Think I will leave it at 2150MHz clock and 1850MHz memory. So far been perfectly spot on

My current driver (19.11.1) sets 2039/1171 @ stock. It used to be 2084/1200 when I first had the card. This is a data sample from Superposition 1080p extreme, towards the end of the run:
And the same data but with an undervolt & underclock (1950/1000)

Your data peaked my interest, i see almost identical results copying your settings but using the 20.2.1 driver.

Also props to you for cleaning up the formatting before posting it here.

I have noticed this card saves power when monitor goes to sleep or turned off.. Pc says it uses 198watts normally, and 144watts when monitor is turned off or asleep. The info comes from my UPS, so thats the power from all my pc stuff thats connected to it, not just the pc.

How hard can it be

LtMatt · 24 Feb 2020 at 13:33

^ Yeah it really is easy to use the GPU Tuning feature, it was a little bit more complicated on the previous UI though.

XFX Thicc III. (not the II different card & cooler) It goes for around £350 and the cooler is in par to that of Nitro which costs £100 more.

However personally I think you should wait now. MS announced the Xbox specs and are pretty fricking scary. 12TFLOP RDNA2 GPU in a console. 5700XT is 9.5TFLOP. So the new Xbox is between 2080S and 2080Ti with hardware ray tracing!

I think might sell my 5700XT AE now it has some value and go back to the V64 for the next 4 months.

Yes on pre-19.12.2 drivers was fiddly, especially for me coming from a V64 with all the nice P-states.

But what does all that mean?? I'm used to a simple clock and memory slider ha!!

Kevin Matthews · 24 Feb 2020 at 16:22

I've my nitro set at 1800/950 and it's the most stable I've ever had yet running latest driver. Would you recommend trying 1900/950?

Use the Advanced toggles and you can manually enter values, simples.

Yes, good samples should do 1950/1000.

Been lazy and used to MIS afterburner, what does mV have in relation to MHz? and why the graph? I understand the need for a fan curve but I have no idea what the toggles do? I see GPU Power is in W so to me its a bit confusing no?

1850 VRAM on 5700XT?

LtMatt · 24 Feb 2020 at 19:21

mV refers to voltage, which you can enter in the values shown on your screenshot.

If you click the chevron where it says fine tuning controls you can control fan speed. by setting values at a given temperature.

My money is on an AIB model which use faster GDDR6 chips than the reference and AE editions.

I see

All new to me this so bear with me! Is it worth trying lower voltages to improve temperatures? I see @Panos is using much lower voltages.

Is that a ref card as well?
