Yes, more big gains in 21.7.2, don't know where all this extra performance is coming from.

I should be able to improve my Timespy score further when i get a chance on the weekend.

No need mate, you're absolutely fine as you are.

Id best get some more ice in the freezer.

Nice little bump in Timespy Extreme - https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/21791098/spy/21558567

On holiday from tomorrow, so might try pushing it a bit further :-)

Nice, wetting my appetite.

This is my chance to pull clear from the flock in Timespy graphics score on OcuK bench thread.

Same here. Increased my graphics score on Timespy by 450 points with 27.1.2 versus whatever driver I was using at the beginning of May.

Nice, can't wait to have some decent time with 21.7.2.

This was my best PR score on 21.7.1, but have not posted it yet as I think i can improve it a little bit more with 21.7.2 and a cool day.

The minimum PSU requirement for the 6900 XT is a 850W unit, so I would look here to start with.

Try setting the power limit in Radeon Software to -15% and click Apply, located in the upper right hand corner of Radeon Software > Tuning.

Ordered a new PSU. Be Quiet SP1 Platinum 1000W. Arrived and installed today. Same results. I can not get a benchmark result either in time spy nor in fire strike extreme. WM settings Standard and automatic. XMP is off. SAM is on.

That sucks mate. I would have suggested lowering you RAM clocks but you have effectively already done that by disabling XMP. Have you tried re-seating your RAM sticks?

LtMatt · 28 Jul 2021 at 20:22

Placeholder.

These driver improvements are incredible!

CPU score is very low so will definitely improve that and I think I can improve my graphics score more with a lower ambient temp, 25c+ in the man cave atm.
