The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Can I be pedantic and say that I got my GPU on Sunday the 9th not Monday the 10th when I posted in this thread, I'd had it a whole day but I was too busy playing with it :D
 
So my 9070 (Sapphire Pulse) frequently boosts beyond 3GHz, not just in the stress tests but in games too. I've cross checked the numbers with different monitors and they all agree.

I thought the boost clock was ~2.5GHz.

I'm running the stock clocks with a -75mV voltage offset and a 10% power limit increase.

how do you check for vram errors , i like this /memtest_vulkan v0.5.0 by GpuZelenograd but i dont think it always detects errors , what i try to do is i pause on a scene and follow when the fps start dropping

I think you can run tests in OCCT.

These cards have memory error correction/detection, so you need to monitor for errors, but also notable drops in performance. When you start seeing performance drops, you've pushed too hard :)

You essentially want to push as far as you can, without drops, and then back it off a bit.

They're cracking little over engineered cards.

I've done absolutely nothing to mine as I just wanted to get it running and boot up Cyberpunk for the first time (finally!)

Every round of gaming it's hitting 2750MHz and several times it's reaching 3000.

And that's with not touching it. At all. Really cool card to boot.
 
Nitro arrived but its a proper screamer. Its louder than the GPU fans under load. Tried setting VSYNCH to even a low 60 FPS but it screams. My case is at desk level with 3 Rads and tuned for silence so the thing stands out. Even the wife and daughter said they wouldn't be able to put up with that. So it will be going back. Luckily from the forest so there will be zero hassle.

How are people finding the coil whine on the Nitro’s? Is it worth trying another?

My 3080 does exhibit some coil whine but not to this extent.

so everyone is posting crazy results but none of these are stable , you can easily pass the benchmarks but try to do few different games session and you will get constant crashes
does it really matter, called having fun pushing a gpu like i have past 30yrs plus, games i tune for efficiency, totally different , cyberpunk atm is just -50mv 2800mhz fast timing -20 power core untouched , does me fine. so your comparing apples n oranges.

Mine has been stable so far, running Zero Dawn, Fallout London, and other games maxed out with some overclocks. I've probably logged at least 30 hours of gameplay without any issues.
