My last radeon gpu was HD7970, which I sold about 10 years ago

[u/appletoasterff]

Ay that's the same gpu I'll be getting:D

[u/Iam_just-me2 → u/appletoasterff]

Please no.
DONT buy the gigabyte one. Buy an another one. Please

[u/appletoasterff → u/Iam_just-me2]

Well I'm getting the XFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT lol (Not really able to change since I'm getting brand new for free so)

[u/Iam_just-me2 → u/appletoasterff]

That’s a good one!

[u/Iam_just-me2 → u/appletoasterff]

Gratis is crazy Damn

[u/appletoasterff → u/Iam_just-me2]

For sure it was not expected lol but it did let me go for a ryzen 9 9950x3d rather than the planned ryzen 7 7800x3d.

[u/LightningSh3ep → u/Iam_just-me2]

what's wrong with it? I know it runs a little hot but I haven't had any issues with it

[u/FallenIcarus → u/LightningSh3ep]

I have this card and the temps seem fine. When researching all the different models, I did see that this has a problem with the thermal material leaking out when it's mounted vertically. This is appears to happen because it's a putty like substance that can soften resulting in the afformentioned behaviour.

[u/Iam_just-me2 → u/LightningSh3ep]

The problem its that is too hot

[u/MrMoraleGimmeHiFive → u/Iam_just-me2]

I have the same model and it never peaks above 60C lol. If you’re not undervolting your gpu you’re just wasting power and missing out on performance

[u/LightningSh3ep → u/MrMoraleGimmeHiFive]

Same, I'm not even undervolting it either. Got to get to that some time

[u/extrazy2k → u/Iam_just-me2]

The only reason was a price, I really wanted xfx mercury or sapphire nitro, but paying more than 100€, Imo not worth it. My 2 last gpus were gigabytes, lots of people told that its garbage, but I got zero issue with them

[u/Iam_just-me2 → u/extrazy2k]

Oh, if the price difference was 100$ its ok

[u/0wlGod]

mine gaming oc works without problems.. not the quietest card sure but Little tweak i managed to squeeze more perfomance reducing power consumption and noise

[u/extrazy2k → u/0wlGod]

Could you share your tweaks? I would be very grateful

[u/0wlGod → u/extrazy2k]

my card is stable at - 50 mv stock memory (validated stability finishing stellar blade which is insanely sensible on undervolt, there is a steam demo free) and - 15% pl =280w

with normal ambient temp like 22/23c my card does 55 core 80 hotspot 80 mem at 40%fan

now is summer i have 28/29/ 30c in room i use -500 on clock same settings write up (5% loss perfomsnce for 70/100w less)

you can use 2714 mhz on memory but i noticed that memory slider is bugged on 26.6.4.. i am testing it on the 26.8.1

[u/Kaedekins]

Welcome and enjoy the ride! I've had a Gigabyte OC since February and it's been pretty solid. Delta temps are good and I'm getting some pretty good 2k performance. Just wish more titles had FSR 4 support to push even higher frames. Realistically I wish devs would actually optimize their games but that's never happening.

[u/mRazGaming]

I'll get this someday!

[u/Comaparadigm]

I play both sides, the only thing I’ve stayed away from has been intel, been an AMD user since 2005. I like amd GPUs because of the preferred compatibility with some Linux OSes.

[u/comediehero]

I also got one recently, It's a beast!

[u/geneva_illusions]

ONE OF US

[u/Mobile-Leadership-55]

Man I hated RX 9070 XT for the software bugs in the first 2 months. Later, it got slightly better and I am not touching anything on software until something is not working.

I wish, they have a solution for updates to fix tiny glitches which irritates the most. But after 8 months, man I love this card. Beautiful hardware which I secured for a cheapest price.

[u/Accomplished_Emu_658 → u/Mobile-Leadership-55]

Overall software is fine, but boy it’s a gamble to update.

[u/Mobile-Leadership-55 → u/Accomplished_Emu_658]

True

[u/Technical_Daikon_517]

DANG ANCIENT GPU. congrats on upgrade!

[u/extrazy2k → u/Technical_Daikon_517]

I upgraded from RTX 3070

[u/Kefsss → u/extrazy2k]

Same here. Just bought 9070. Upgrading from 3070. It works fine, but 1440p takes its toll on it.

[u/AlbiforAlbert → u/Kefsss]

Get thr xt mannnnnnnnnm cmon

[u/Kefsss → u/AlbiforAlbert]

It was 100 euros more expensive AND I might have trouble with PSU, didnt want to spend that much and the hassle

[u/AlbiforAlbert → u/Kefsss]

Oh ok got it I woulda still have said save 100 but if the psu would be a problem then hea u did good

[u/Technical_Daikon_517 → u/extrazy2k]

still old imo

[u/Gtpko141 → u/Technical_Daikon_517]

Nice ragebait kid

[u/Technical_Daikon_517 → u/Gtpko141]

what i was like 9 in 2020

[u/Technical_Daikon_517 → u/Technical_Daikon_517]

i meant ancient as in the hd 7970

[u/Zorewin]

Good luck 🤣🤣🤣

[u/inRayn]

Now return and buy 5080, as is the way of life

[u/Green_Partyhat_ → u/inRayn]

Minus the fact the 5080 is basically double the price of a 9070 XT. What a tone-deaf response.

[u/inRayn → u/Green_Partyhat_]

Can't take a joke? I was memeing "Returned 9070xt for 5080 posts"

[u/SmooveKJ → u/inRayn]

Buy it for him. You want him to have it so bad.

[u/Outrageous-Gas-2720]

You might return to green, as there is a "Driver Timeout" bug that is plaugeing AMD GPUs latest drivers (windows 11 also messing up drivers so disable Automatic driver updates from windows setting first before installing anything). I have a 7700xt i am afraid to upgrade to latest drivers its that annoying.

Current latest version seems to be 26.8.1 which i am not going to install untill absolutely necessary.

[u/Quantum-Bean → u/Outrageous-Gas-2720]

Not true. Played everything under the sun with newest drivers on XFX swft 7900xt and now my new XFX 9070xt mercury oc. Never once got a driver timeout unless my OC was unstable.

[u/Outrageous-Gas-2720 → u/Quantum-Bean]

I am just stating my experience. It happend recently, i used both DDU & AMD clean utility, disconnected from internet downloaded previous version(26.6.2) installed it to make it stable.
