The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Got my pulse today and so far so good. I did the demo Steel Nomad benchmark with both my 3070 (3162) and the Pulse (6924) running with a 5900X, double the score so happy with that. I've seen some comments about undervolting and changing the fan curve, are they in the driver software or do I have to install something else? Probably been away from AMD for about 10 years now.
It is all done in the adrenalin app. Click performance and then click tuning.

You can find plenty of tutorials on youtube. Just do a search for "9070xt undervolt and overclock". It takes like 5 mins to do
 
If a game doesn't yet support FSR4 (thinking Microsoft Flight Simulator 24 and Fortnite) are there any ways of enabling it or is it a case of waiting for a game update?
Not sure if it works for this game but I use Optiscaler (tutorials on youtube) for Cyberpunk and Jedi Survivor to get FSR 4 in those games

BRAVO...BRAVO!
However...


Not until you delete all your old entries and free up the top 100, how many entries you got in it?

Give some of us mortals a chance lol.

Hey man where's my congrats I feel like im ignored. best in the world score for a 9070 with a Ryzen 3600!

That's an impressive score! Is your system highly tuned?
I'm using buildzoids timings on my RAM and for benchmarking I run a manual OC on CPU with a fixed voltage instead of PBO because I find it to be more stable and gives a slight improvement to scores.

Overall I'd say the RAM timings has made more difference than the CPU OC.

I would say so, I remember how receptive my 5800X was to a good RAM OC. The 5800X3D is so locked down, I just don't know if it is worth it.

this has got me thinking
im pretty sure my ram is one of hte biggest weak spots on my system im wondering if its worth me doing some research and maybe i can get some gains by optimising the timings and settings on my ram......... 5900x so im assuming it would respond in a similar fashion to the 5800x at a guess?
only got corsair vengence lpx 3600 so tbh probably not the most highly performant ram i could have chosen lol
 
Hope you don't mind me posting scores. Had a great start earlier today in Steel Nomad:

DX12: -125mV, -160 core offset, 2830vram FT

Bonus Vulkan score: -162mV, -50 core offset, 2866vram FT

28 degrees core and over 3200 on the clock! Stupidly impressive!
-125mV is the icing on the cake.

Out of interest what driver are you using? Does the driver make a difference?

I am currently on the Optional Driver (25.3.2)

Drivers can potentially make a huge difference. Both when it comes to how far you can push your UV/OC and performance. I have not noticed a big difference between the only 2 drivers released so far for the 9000 series. I am mostly using the 25.3.2 driver because I found it a bit more stable, but I am not actually sure.

Stable does not mean it has the greatest potential to score though and some drivers may be great in 1 benchmark but suck in the rest. Just to give an example for the 7000 the drivers released between april-august were great for steel nomad in different ways but during this period it is possible to see that average scores where higher compared to now. Some of the drivers were good because they allowed you to bring down voltages and still be stable way more than most drivers but other drivers (such as the 24.8.1 driver) were super unstable and did not allow you to UV as much, but was probably the driver with the most potential because it simply gave you higher score/more fps (imo). 24.8.1 was pretty bad for most other benchmarks though (it may have been pretty good in fire strike, but I can't remember).

OS can also play a role. Windows 11 seem to perform the best in most of 3DMark benchmarks, but I have seen some pretty ridiculous scores in Fire Strike from people using windows 10.
