I am running the latest build of Windows 11, with both the AMD and Nvidia drivers installed on my setup. They work perfectly in harmony too,
. My system is clean and tuned for optimal performance with minimal background apps running, aside from MSI AB/HWINFO64 and Corsair iCUE (bit of a perf hog iCue but my AIO needs it).
The 4090 is running 527.56, ReBar is at auto setting. The 4090 was run at stock settings and has been repasted using liquid metal. It therefore runs cooler by 5c+ vs normal 4090 GameRocks, the core also moves up a bin due to the lower temperatures. I am using a special performance BIOS that unlocks the power limit up to 660W (stock is 550W) and allows more performance from the 4090 vs the stock BIOS shipped with the GPU. In light of this I will set the power limit to 80% of 550W = 450W to best mimic a
true stock 4090. The 4090 was run with 100% fan speed for these tests.
For the 7900 XTX, I installed the 22.12.1 driver. SAM is at auto setting. The 7900 XTX is using the stock thermal paste. The 7900 XTX is limited to a maximum power limit of 335W, it is not possible to raise it further. So the only way to extract more performance is to increase the power limit to +15% which allows up to 335W, and to then lower voltage and finally increase memory frequency. This will net you best overall increase in performance in pure % terms. The 7900 XTX was run with 100% fan speed for these tests.
