The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

[Dicehunter]

could be a power supply issue, if a driver crashes clocks and utilization will drop back very low, the fact its going down to 1ghz means the card is working and requesting power its not getting, hense the drop in clocks, with regard to your psu is it very old and how have you got it wired up to your card. Are you using seprate power cables for each plug or using a spiltter cable?

whats the make and model of your gpu too?

PSU is a Corsair ShiftX 1200w, Fairly new. Card is the Sapphire 7900XTX Nitro+ variant. Connected via an extension but each of the 3 x 8 pins has its own cable. Also tried with 3 x 8 pins direct from the PSU and no extension but it made zero difference.

Didn't the 5700XT suffer from irregular clocks at some point? Was driver issue then and prob a driver issue with this.

Quite likely, I've just installed the latest beta driver, Launched Horizon Forbidden West and not seeing the stutter/low usage issue again.

Hopefully whatever they did in the release candidate makes it into the next mainstream driver.

Looking at purchasing a powercolor 7900 xtx hellhound to upgrade from a 3070ti but not had amd cards since 2015 where I had major issues with them.

Is there any known problems, issues etc with the model mentioned above? Any problems from 7900 xtx or are they generally recommended? I've never used raytracing and don't really intend to playing at 1440p 165hz with 16gb ram, 850w psu, 5800x CPU.

Thanks!

Power color seem to have dropped the ball on the early 7900xtx as they were running rather warm. I would recommend sapphire at the moment both models will do the job. Not had any problems with my 7900xtx drivers have been solid.

I bought a used Sapphire 7900XTX, I think it's the AMD reference card. It's pretty nice looking, fairly compact yet very heavy. But I had a problem, in COD Warzone I had a horrible stutter/lag, it seemed to get worse at times and almost gone at others, I bit of googling and someone suggested turning off Freesync, in Adrenalin I switched off the option for AMD Freesync Premium, this fixed the problem straight away and now it's super smooth.

My LG monitor is 1440p 144hz and Freesync premium, does anyone know why this would cause stuttering? I thought it was best to have Freesync on. I upgraded from a 3080 and I'm pretty sure I had G-Sync enabled before without issue.

 

[Dicehunter]

For the game getting stutter have you got that specific game set to "AMD Optimized" or simply "On" in the driver on it's Freesync option ? I've found sometimes different games give different results.

What about go into the gaming tab in the driver, select Warzone. Then within that games profile open Radeon Chill and set the min/max FPS under the range of your panel. 140/140 would be fine, then see how you get on.

That's on 24.5.1.
I'll have to run some numbers. I'm quite limited with my 397w power limit though.

 

[Nick1881]

For the game getting stutter have you got that specific game set to "AMD Optimized" or simply "On" in the driver on it's Freesync option ? I've found sometimes different games give different results.

It's set to custom with all options off I think, still trying to get used to Adrenalin.

What about go into the gaming tab in the driver, select Warzone. Then within that games profile open Radeon Chill and set the min/max FPS under the range of your panel. 140/140 would be fine, then see how you get on.

I set a frame rate limit in game to 140 and it didn't help.

I'll just stick with Freesync off as I'm not seeing any negatives and the game runs super smooth. I'm hoping I can get a faster monitor at some point to make use of the extra frames.

@Chud_Jenny is it full stock?

No, just about balls to the wall.
It's just an MBA card on a block.

 

[derlabzs]

haha, you got me suprised for a moment "how the hell his score is so much higher at stock settings?" LOL.. I don't even bother overclocking it anymore, just set gpu power to 115% and that's it..

7900XT looking rather good value for money at the moment at £679. Well, compared to a 4070 Super anyway.

You missed it at £599, where it should be priced imo.

 

[EdGey]

You missed it at £599, where it should be priced imo.

That really would be good value these days. Still though, even now in context with the 4070 Ti super prices.

 

[Dicehunter]

For any with a similar experience with the 7900XTX. I was getting some weird stuttering now and then due to the clock dropping down to 0 for its power savings when not in use but it would take a fair while to ramp up again. Used Afterburner to disable ULPS "ultra low power state" and now it's gone, Clock doesn't drop below 50MHz but I can live with the extra 1 watt of power use, Smooth as silk

WARNING: If you do this it will also trigger Windows security, For whatever reason, So when you reboot from having disabled ULPS it will ask for your Windows password. Pin will not work.

I bought a secondhand Sapphire Pulse 7900 xtx this eve, am hoping it’s a good bye, seller says hardly used & was bought in August 23, will only know if it’s good once it arrives & can examine it, was thinking inspect & smell for any heat issues, then fit & boot to bios to see it spins up ok & check temps , then boot to windows & check temps, I was thinking of finding a guide for an undervolt , then see how it goes with a few test runs in Time Spy etc. Any advice on other things to check? Never got a 2nd hand GPU before , am quite worried about it. Currently got an old 2080ti a friend gave me, I had to cleanup & re-apply thermal compound as it was crashing all the time. But couldn't wait any more for a new card , at least if this works it’ll do for a good while. Running an 5800x currently, should make a good difference

 

[JediFragger]

I was thinking of finding a guide for an undervolt , then see how it goes with a few test runs in Time Spy etc.

Sounds like it should be fine, but I'd give it a good test over 2/3 days before you think about tweaking Pulse is a good card though with great cooling

Make sure you use 3 separate power cables from your power supply to the card. Fur mark for no more than 10 minutes is an excellent test. You can check the temps with the Radeon overlay. Like Jedi said test for a good 3 days to make sure all is ok then you can do some under volting. If not done already I would update bios and chipset drivers as well. I would also make sure the Nvidia drivers and utilities are uninstalled.
