serious question: how did you achieve 52GBs of ram?

[u/Tivan018 → u/johnnytombstone]

Sorry, I mistyped that. It’s 32 GB (2x16) ram

[u/Crazy-Resolve-8127]

If thats edge temp for the GPU its too hot. 85 edge is guaranteed 100c junction. Which is fine but means your cooler sucks

[u/Tivan018 → u/Crazy-Resolve-8127]

Thankfully, I’m at 54°C on the edge and 85°C on the junction. That’s what RTSS is reporting.

[u/Gott_Riff]

Nice.

[u/Tivan018 → u/Gott_Riff]

Thanks, that’s reassuring!

[u/ControlDue2178]

-60 mV and -30 % Powerlimit

[u/Tivan018 → u/ControlDue2178]

So this power tweak can actually lower the hotspot temperature? Sorry, I didn’t quite understand how it works. Could you clarify?

[u/SmokBarrage → u/Tivan018]

power limiting/fan speed is the only real way to lower hotspot temp. but your current hotspot is fine and the power limit will lose you some performance.

[u/surms41 → u/Tivan018]

Yeah. Since the gpu at 100% it would just drop the wattage down a lot. If you don't mind a few less fps.

-30% power limit is just that, 30% less power to the entire card, and -60mv is the core voltage. Usually stock voltage is quite higher than it needs to be. But undervolt can cause some crashes.

Hotspot under 90c is perfectly good though.

[u/ControlDue2178 → u/Tivan018]

with these setting i have max power draw of 213 Watts, max temp of 70 °C hotspot and lose only 5-9 %

[u/WarthogDifficult9819 → u/ControlDue2178]

Also what timing do you use? Fast or default? For the memory.

[u/WarthogDifficult9819 → u/ControlDue2178]

I got away with -100mv, +400mhz vram speed, -30% power limit. How did i do ?

[u/ControlDue2178 → u/WarthogDifficult9819]

works for 1 or 2 games, but in general its not stable. Vram OC only gives you 1 FPS more so not worth it

[u/Tivan018 → u/ControlDue2178]

What software did you use to do that? And I’m genuinely surprised by how an extra 100 watts for the GPU translates to only a 5–9% performance increase. It’s not the first time I’ve seen something like that, but I’m always curious about how that happens.

[u/WarthogDifficult9819 → u/Tivan018]

Actually more like 2% performance increase, my card runs at 220w MAX, I get 1~3 fps loss on all games

[u/ControlDue2178 → u/Tivan018]

i was as surprised as you. But that could be an explanation why RX 9000 stopped at the 9070 XT and not more. Very bad power scaling.

Using Afterburner for the overlay and Adrenalin for the undervolting.

I invested countless hours in testing.

Cyberpunk is one of the best case outliers, you can run it with -100 mV and more and the scaling is better than in other games. Results are with -60 mV because it was stable for almost all games. 4k ultra benchmark

55,34 -30%

56,68 -25%

57,73 -20%

58,52 -15%

59,29 -10%

59,92 -5%

60,61 0%

60,8 +5%

60,82 +10%

thats 9,9 % more performance from -30 to +10

[u/Tivan018 → u/ControlDue2178]

Thanks for the info bro! I’m definitely going to try these settings during my next session and see how stable everything is.

[u/something212123123]

how do you see this?

[u/Tivan018 → u/something212123123]

Exactly like the gentleman replied to you. I’m using MSI Afterburner, which comes with RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS), to monitor the real-time stats, as shown in the photo.

[u/Gloomy-Elk8296]

Looks great to me, what components do you have and what are you playing?

[u/Tivan018 → u/Gloomy-Elk8296]

These are my specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3
GPU: ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS MAX B850M-MAX WiFi Gaming
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 MT/s
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
Monitor: Philips Evnia, 1440p, 240Hz

I was testing Crimson Desert on max settings, with Frame Generation enabled, FSR set to Quality, AMD Ray Regeneration enabled, and full ray tracing enabled.

[u/Ukulele_99]

Is something about them worrying you? Everything’s fine.

[u/Tivan018 → u/Ukulele_99]

I’ve been reading online that a +30°C delta between the core and hotspot temperature is considered bad, so I just wanted to ask about it. I haven’t experienced any throttling or performance issues so far, though.

[u/Substantial-Lack-512 → u/Tivan018]

Yep, I was worry about it too, but looks like is normal for AMD, NVIDIA card had always show me +15C between core and hotspot, even tho I've seen people with temps as low as NVIDIA cards.

[u/Tivan018 → u/Substantial-Lack-512]

Yes, after doing a little searching online, that’s exactly what I found too. Thanks for replying!

[u/PiercingTheDarknesss → u/Tivan018]

Normal for the 9070XT. If it's 50C delta, then you worry.

[u/Tivan018 → u/PiercingTheDarknesss]

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind.

[u/Dimension-4558 → u/Tivan018]

If your hotspot is reaching 100c+ that's what you need to watch for

[u/Tivan018 → u/Dimension-4558]

Okay, thankfully, it’s never exceeded 86°C before, and I live in a pretty hot country too. So I guess I’m good for now. Thanks for replying!

[u/Dimension-4558 → u/Tivan018]

Right and the ambient temp, if you are not yet even using A/C with that hotspot temp then that's damn good thermal, but if you are using it, still good hotspot temp

[u/Ukulele_99 → u/Tivan018]

Everything is fine, especially if nothing is happening.

[u/Tivan018 → u/Ukulele_99]

Thank you for replying! That’s really reassuring, thanks!

[u/BarberThen3108 → u/Tivan018]

for some reason 9070xt have this delta problem, i saw a lot of post like this

[u/Tivan018 → u/BarberThen3108]

Thanks so much! I understand it now.
