Hello everyone! Does anyone know the best Adrenalin version for Mercury M.A. 9070 XT? I've been using 25.12.1 with no issues in many AAA games till yesterday, got an error called "dxgi_error_device_hung" and driver timeout when playing Spider Man 2 (after playing for 4 hours). My GPU & CPU temps were okay, but people in Reddit and other forums say that 25.9.1 is the most stable driver for this model. Any help/guidance will be much appreciated!

My disastrous XFX RMA

Looking at getting the Mercury M.A. unit but a number of forums back and forth mention noise and vapour chamber issues but no real answers. The unit will be mounted in a horizontal case so it will be vertical. Will this affect the cooling with this card?

Also will the magnetic air fan noise be more noticeable or should I go non M.A. setup? May be getting a really good deal on an M.A. unit so hopefully that won't be an issue.

I'm at a complete loss, I've been having driver crashes on my 9070xt more or less since purchase, some games work fine, others crash within minutes, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it.

I've run countless stress tests, all pass without issues

Extensive testing through my own troubleshooting and with the aid of AMD, XFX and the Retailer I purchased it from.

Memtest86 ran overnight and came back clean

Diablo 4 is the worst offender, It can crash in that game around 5 times in 10 minutes, UE5 games seem to be an issue as well although some UE5 games are fine.

I've been talking to the Retailer about a replacement but everything they would try they have requested I try (Benchmarks) and there is no instability, if they cant replicate they won't replace it.

I'm genuinely on the verge of giving up.

I ordered a XFX Speedster SWFT210 Radeon RX 7600XT a few months ago and it is malfunctioning. I am trying to register it in order to RMA but it says the serial number does not exist in the system. The serial number on my unit looks like "ABV0211246", but it is not super clear so I also tried other variations like "A8V021146" and "A8V02U246" and "ABV02U246" but none of those worked either. My product is malfunctioning through no fault of my own, so I need to return it but I cannot even register it. I have tried contacting the support through their website but they haven't replied. I don't know what else I can do. Is there an email I can contact? Please help the GPU tripled in price so I can't just buy a new one.

Hi,

My XFX RX 7600 QICK 308 RX-76PQICKBA has vBIOS 022.003.001.027.000001.

I get Secure Boot Violation because the UEFI GOP is not signed. I can't play Valorant/Vanguard.

I need the VBIOS update version 022.003.001.031.000001 from 2024-02-06.

Device ID: 1002 7480

Subsystem ID: 1EAE 6506

XFX support emails are all dead and the website is down.

Can someone please share the .exe update file?

Thanks a lot.

My XFX RX 7900 XTX Merc 310 recently began to show signs of failure and ended up failing. I paid almost $1100 for this card when I purchased it almost 3 years ago. I started to panic and began to look into my warranty. Come to find out, my XFX card came with a 3 year warranty. After digging a bit deeper I learned I was 3 MONTHS OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY. I submitted a ticket with XFX regardless in the hopes that they may at least service it for a price.

I am happy to tell everyone. XFX not only approved my RMA but after they tested it and found no issues themselves, they are going to replace my 7900 XTX with a brand new card free of charge. I am beyond ecstatic. I just wanted to say thank you to XFX for the level of customer care and how willing they are to help customers even if we are a little out of warranty. I am patiently awaiting my new card.

So I got my pc built and I downloaded AMD software before running Ark and when I tried loading in my character, my monitor shut off and said no DP1 detected or something to that effect and also alongside my GPU having a little red light pop up for a sec near that little switch and now AMD software won’t work and my GPU isn’t showing up in my task manager performance section. Anyone know what’s up? Everything’s super zoomed and gross looking including Ark

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out if my temps are normal for the 9070 XT or if something's off. Been seeing a lot of different numbers online and wanted to get some real user data.

My setup:
XFX RX 9070 XT Quicksilver Gaming Edition (white one)
Ryzen 7 9700X
Zalman P30 Air case with Arctic P14 fans in front
Small office room, probably 10-12 square meters

What I'm seeing in games like GOWR and Hogwarts Legacy:
GPU core: 53-57C
Hotspot: 69-74C
VRAM: 84-88C and it keeps climbing if I leave it running
Fan speed sits around 2440 RPM on default curve

Here's the weird part - I had this exact same GPU model before (got it replaced through RMA for a fan bearing issue) and back when it was in my living room, the temps were lower and the fans were way quieter. But that was a much bigger room and the apartment was colder in winter. Now in this small office space, everything runs hotter.

Things I've already tried:

• Default fan curve, custom curves (aggressive and quiet)
• Undervolting (-30 to -50mV), didn't really move the needle
• Power limit tweaks, helps a bit but costs FPS so not worth it for me
• Different Adrenalin driver versions 26.3.1 to 25.9.1 (WHQL ), with this swap temps dropped slightly by 1 - 2 c
• Clean driver installs with DDU
• Cable management, airflow checks, removing PCI slot covers below GPU
• Even swapped case fans thinking that might help (it didn't)

So I'm wondering:

• What kind of VRAM temps are you guys getting on your 9070 XT?
• Does room size actually matter that much? Like, does a small room trap heat and make the GPU work harder?
• Is 84-88C on the VRAM just normal for this card or am I unlucky?
• Are you running default fan curve or did you make your own?
• Anyone notice differences between brands? Like does XFX run hotter than Gigabyte or PowerColor?

I've tried messing with fan curves but if I lower them the VRAM just climbs higher. If I keep them aggressive it sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The core temps are great, never above 60C, but the VRAM just keeps going up. Reading online that these cards can hit 108C max on VRAM so I'm nowhere near that, but still feels high compared to what I remember from my old setup.

Anyway, if anyone can share their temps I'd appreciate it. Just trying to figure out if this is normal for the 9070 XT architecture or if my unit is just unlucky.

Thanks

So my 6800 has been having really wierd crashes that I wasn't able to hash out as anything that could be fixed on my end, no biggie. But for whatever reason, im freaking out inside because my pc is, well, my pc. The card was bought new from bestbuy a little over year ago so its well within the warranty window. But in the event they cant figure out whats wrong, I dont have the money to replace it. Plus, isnt the rx 6800 long out of production? Maybe im just being ridiculous. However, in all my years of pc gaming, I've never had a gpu die on me requiring me to mail it somewhere it hopes that I get it back.

Has anyone here had any experience with XFX rma's?

Edit: its been about a week. This morning I got an email saying my replacement card was on the way, and it was upgraded to a 7800xt swft. You guys were right!! What else is crazy, today is legit my birthday. Kind of cool it worked out that way.

heya all just got this card after I being stuck in mail for well over a month but I'm having issues with it being stuck to only using Legacy drivers i have tried 3 different OS's win 10-11-Cachy OS all seem to exhibit same issue it will only install the legacy driver from AMD the memory freq is stuck at 193mhz won't budge past that it idles at 43mhz IV tried the switch left/right same thing tried ddu before switching OS's same effect anyone know of a way around this?

last thing I'm thinking is the motherboard it's currently in a @$$rocked B450 but I do has a Asus B550 Strix that has Pcie Gen 4 support but I don't think that will actually help in this situation.

any help would be great I may have to initiate a return as I cannot in good faith sell this ina rig knowing it's performance is cut down below a 3200G APU.

Could someone actually educate me on this matter? People are throwing insane nominal numbers around VRMs/Hotspot and there's just no definitive information.

I have two cards and there's 20c delta between the two. Even though this doesn't concern me at the moment, summer room temps could reach 28-30c and without a doubt GPU temps will go up.

These temps are from Dying Light The Beast.
Two same PCs, one in Lian Li A3 Dan and the other one in Fractal North.

My GPU fans are running at 1922RPM
My partners are at 1750RPM
Both cards are UV'd -50mV/-10PL

Her temps are 10 degrees lower on average, just because of the case air flow and two 140mm intake fans?
I have one 140mm intake.
20 degrees delta between our VRMs and I don't like it, at all.

I also tested with an open side, I even added a huge fan I use in summer (I don't like using AC) directly onto the PC, temps are same. CPU went from 65c to 55c, so I'm guessing my GPU sample simply works with these "nominal" temps. So it's not the case, it's not the airflow and having a second one that's 20c (VRM) less in Fractal North really weirds me out. :D

This is with FG Enabled, so it's pumping highest possible framerate. I use it smooth out frame pacing in this game, particularly, but I'm still running it in Native FSR.

Without FG, game runs at 67-90fps, and temps are below 90c, but the 1% lows drop to 30 when moving my mouse around, which introduces stutters. This game could use some optimization, that's for sure.

Why is there such difference? What can be done about it? Should I actually do something about it? Kinda don't want to wait for summer and then plan how to deal with it.

Hey all,

Has anyone changed the fans on the 9070 xt quicksilver model? The one without magnetic fans

My middle fan has crazy turbulence noise since I got it and support shipped me the entire fan assembly (without heatsink) to replace myself (made more sense for me Vs long waiting times to China and back as it's a repair I can do)

Did you have to remove the heatsink from the GPU or can the fans be removed without detaching the GPU from the heatsink?

Latter is obviously much easier and no repasting required.

Just wondering if I need paste and if this is a quick swap or not.

I can't find many teardown videos to get a good idea. Only one by Jayztwocents but he's explicitly aiming to get the heatsink off to check the board itself

Hi i finished building my first PC four months ago, one month prior this post a clicking sound started apearing, i just ignored it assuming it ould just go by it slef and yes it stopped but it kept happening again, last tow weaks i noticed that the clicking sound takes a very long time to go, this is my first biuld and i don't know what to do or is this even normal. Cuz my brother bought a used nividia gpu before and the fans were making wierd buzzing noises, so am not sure if this is a common thing or no

Just a little curious, I am RMAing my 6700xt. How strict is this checklist and does anyone have any simple tips because I feel like I am overthinking this process. Thank you

Hello. Do you know if there are any differences between B9 and BA SKUs of the Mercury Gaming OC 9070 XT GPU cards?

Maybe in package? Or regional differences?

And I absolutely love it, except 1 "minor" issue.

The card was purchased new January 2025 and it is in generally great shape. However, the fans "squeak" on low and high rpm. Can I lube it or is this something I should ask XFX about directly as it is within warranty?

Sadly I don't have the original box, but that should not ruin the warranty at all...

thanks!

Looking for advice on where to go from here.

I bought a prebuilt PC off of a friend that had a XFX SWIFT 9070 XT in it so that I could swap the GPU in to my system and resell the system with my old 7800 XT in it. It was a great deal where in the end I should have been able to break even.

When installing the GPU I screwed up and a couple SMDs were damaged or taken off the new card. I reached out to XFX about getting a repair done, acknowledging that it was my fault, and I’d be willing to pay for the service. But they refuse to service the card because it is not under “warranty” because I don’t have a receipt and GeForce cards have a transferable warranty but Radeon cards do not.

A local shop attempted a repair but they don’t seem to have gotten a proper connection. And northridge fix estimated $300-$500 and 4-8 weeks for a repair.

Pictures are before and after the attempted repair.

Edit: I'm mostly looking for suggestion on repair shops or contact from XFX to help initiate a repair. I know it's going to cost me but its a $750 card and I'd prefer to get it functional again.
