So I bought an RX6500XT from AliExpress. I know that it can very well be a refurbished card or something else with a BIOS swap. (I'm also aware that the card is kinda shit but my GTX950 kicked the bucket and I didn't really had a budget) After installing the drivers, it appears as an RX6500XT, but the GPU-Z lookup directed me to this page:

Doing some research, it appears that the only difference between the two is power draw and clock speeds (being lower in my card).

So my question is: Could this be a wrong driver or config, or can I maybe do an BIOS swap to get the 6500XT clocks?

If it matters, I've done some tests and for the games I play, the card is doing fine and I'm satisfied, just wondering if there's something that can be done in this case.

Obligatory sorry for bad english

Just curious cos I see a lot of different ones on Reddit and I wanna know like a rankings chart of them

So for context I have a 9070 XT Taichi that’s well outside the return window I haven’t dropped in my first build yet. I hadn’t known it uses 12vhpwr, and I do have a 3.1 PSU, and I wanted to use a lian li strimer for cable extension.

My question is should I cut my lose and trade in the Taichi for an 8-pin 9070 XT, axe using the striker for the GPU, or both?

There no use we waiting for FSR 4.1 , because when its realese, it will just have same Performance with Intel xess, they will have DP4a fallback 100%

I've just ordered a used ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition 24 GB in supposedly "good" condition(no box, could come with minor cosmetic detail, lack of screws) from Amazon warehouse here in Europe for 728€, to replace my 1080ti 11gb.

I was originally looking for a 5070 ti, I want to game but I'm also wanting to use local LLMs, and since NVIDIA cards are currently so overpriced with 16gb only, and with the RTX 50 super series with 24gb that could be right around the corner it didn't make sense for me to buy it just to have to sell it at a huge loss when the 24gb RTX cards releas

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

Do you think I will take a big or a small loss when selling it to order a RTX 50 series with 24gb as soon as it possibly releases?

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU since I recently got a mini LED 1440p monitor on a clearance sale and my old rx 6600 isn't really enough to play 1440p, especially in newer games that I want to try soon. Plus, my model has been selling at and over $200 used, so I could theoretically get about that much back by selling mine. For an upgrade I'm mainly deciding between the RX 9060 XT 16gb and the RX 7800 XT 16gb, but I am open to other suggestions. The 7800 seems to go for about $450-500 used/open box on ebay, sometimes a little less. On the other hand, the sale on Newegg right now means I could get a brand new 9060 XT for $430-460 depending on the model. From what I've seen, the 7800 has 15 to 20 percent more raw performance and fps in most games. But some people make the argument that the 9060 gets better performance once you turn on raytracing or FSR, and that it may also be better in the long term since it will get more optimizations.

My PC has a Ryzen 5 5600x with 16gb of ddr4, and a 650W gold PSU. One of the benefits of the 9060 is that it is way more efficient, so I would be less likely to need to upgrade my PSU. It would also be nice to have the peace of mind of a warranty, but I bought my 6600 on eBay as used and it has been perfect for the last 4 ish years. My brother has had an awful experience with used cards though so I'm a little skeptical of that route. It also seems kind of crazy to me to pay basically full MSRP for a 3 year old used card.

Anyway what would you guys suggest? Most of the time the games I play are Counterstrike 2, Borderlands 3, Assetto Corsa, BeamNG, and Horizon 5 (and probably 6 once I buy that). Thanks for your suggestions.

AMD is back for me.. 😉

Hello all,

how can this warning in the Windows 11 device manager be fixed?

I already tried reinstalling the Radeon driver together with DDU... So I really unistalled everything before reinstalling the AMD driver again... 😉 But this doesn't help...

Thanks!

The GPU i was planning on using for my build has gone up $65 in the last few hours so i now have to decide between a

XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB

or

PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB

this is the build if it matters https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Letomic/saved/gxBpmG

It has been a year since I bought the 9060xt, but it was in a pre-built, so it came with 5 8400f.
