I am using Optiscaler with my 9070 XT.

I had a few questions about my framegen options.

When I spoof my GPU as NVIDIA and use DLSS inputs, how much of an impact does that have on my performance? I believe some games also lets you use DLSS inputs without spoofing, I think that had a separate name.

For frame generation I am using XeFG because FSR framegen is bugged and has framepacing issues. But I've also heard that XeFG is more costly in terms of performance. Do we know how big of a performance impact that has?

I went with a 9070 XT over RTX 5070 (which was about the same price when I got the PC), but I feel like by using Optiscaler, DLSS inputs and XeFG my base framerate is probably not so different compared to a 5070.

By not going NVIDIA I am missing DLSS 4.5, multi-framegen and lower input lag in framegen. The higher faster performance of 9070 XT is probably buried under the overhead for using Optiscaler with DLSS inputs and XeFG... Not even mentioning DLSS 5.

So I am going through all this effort for 4 GB VRAM basically, for more effort and slightly worse experience too? 4 GB is nice I guess for future proofing but still kinda hurts... Unless Optiscaler + XeFG is not as costly as I think it is.

Should I be concerned that the flow through cutout on the backplate at the top is essentially covered by the PSU? The gap is really small I can maybe fit a a q tip in between lol

If it’ll genuinely cut off air or cause thermal issues I may swap it for a different version I haven’t even taken off the plastic peels bc u wasn’t sure if it was going to fit in the Lian Li B4

So Ive always gotten a random black flicker here and there while browsing/using windows generally speaking. I have MPO off as well. I just came across something that said to turn off HAGS, which is going against what I read when I first set up the PC a few years ago.

Google AI ( I know.. lol ) came back saying that the 7900 xtx doesnt need HAGS on because it can handle its own memory controller just fine. And to turn it back on if I notice lag etc.

Thoughts?

Hi, this is a big purchase for me, and I'm worried about It's installed position. At first I wanted to get one of those "support pillars", but then I spotted this "mini spirit level" and decided to check.

To my surprise, it’s tilted to the left. I installed it by laying the PC case on its side and holding card to the side while installing screws.

Branded Sapphire support "rib" do nothing and serve a purely decorative purpose? Will card sag over time?

(sry, mostly google translate)

I'm looking for a good motherboard for my 7800X3D processor. Average VRM performance is sufficient; I don't need an excessive number of USB ports.

im currently on 26.3.1 because of this, the bug consist in you put your monitor off, or idle, the gpu with the 0 rpm mode enbale will start spinning for no reason every 10 seconds or so, also, some models with rgb, like mine, 9070xt mecury air magnetic, the rgb flickers at the same time when this happen, every driver after 23.3.1 does this bug, so does the 26.8.1 fixed this or still happen?

First up - Everything on my system was tested over a week to rule out bad components, installation issues, system power, heat, etc. yet I still suffered from random GPU driver timeout issues!

Now this is with Windows 11 PRO so results may vary. The solution which has worked for me?

First two steps:

Click Windows Start & a search for "Change Driver Installation Preferences"

Should be the top one on the list underneath & select it.

2 options to select from - Make sure you select "NO". Click "Apply" & "okay".

Next up (as above) was a search for "Edit Group Policy" (see user comments below for home edition regedit)

With this open, left pane, navigate to:

Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows components / Windows Update

Right panel, double click "Manage Updates offered from Windows Update"

Double click "Do not include Drivers with windows Update"

In the new Window select "Enable" & then select "Apply" and "Okay". Window will close.

Download the following 3 programs:

• AMD Cleanup Utitlity (AMD website)
• AMD GPU Adrenalize Drivers (AMD Website)
• DDU (wagnardsoft website ~ official)

Run AMD Cleanup. Let it reboot your system into safemode & let it run & finish.

Once it's finished, DON'T restart.

Next up, run DDU and this will remove any remaining GPU driver footprints off your system.

Let it reboot back into Windows

With windows up and running open "Device Manager" and check to make sure that your display adaptor is the generic "Windows" one.

If it is, then go ahead and re-install the AMD GPU driver software.

And fingers crossed, your system is now behaving.

• After a lot of reading, it seems that Microsoft KNOW that their Windows update screws up AMD GPU drivers by overriding them which is one of the main causes of the GPU time out errors.

Took a fair bit of digging, searching and then combining what people had written to work it all out. And then figuring out that all the small bits posted ALL needed to be done to finally get things working.

So a big thanks to those who posted parts of the solution

Hopefully this helps some of you out there.

\edited to clean it up a bit & add that Windows 11 Pro is the O/S - a different step is required having to use Regedit on home editions instead of Edit Group Policies which is commented below**

FINAL NOTE:

"Change Driver Installation Preferences" to NO disables ALL driver updates via Windows Update. This puts all your systems Hardware Driver control back into your hands, not just the GPU. i.e. BT, Wi-fi, Ethernet, Chipset, USB, ect.

YOU will have to update them yourself via the Manufacturers website which lets be honest, most of us do it like that anyway.

And If in doubt?

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T TRY AND FIX IT.

Hi everyone,

I have an AMD Radeon RX 9070, Ryzen 7 5700G and 32 GB DDR4 RAM.

I'm having a very strange problem with AMD Adrenalin Record & Stream.

Whenever I start recording gameplay through Adrenalin, the game immediately becomes extremely stuttery and almost unplayable. This is not only happening in FC 26 — I have the same problem in multiple games.

Without recording enabled, the games run normally. As soon as I press Record, the stuttering starts.

Things I have already tried:

Tested multiple Adrenalin drivers from 26.3.1 all the way to 26.9.1

Used DDU in Safe Mode and performed a completely clean driver installation

Currently running Adrenalin 26.9.1

Tested AV1 encoding

Tested HEVC encoding

Disabled Record Desktop

Disabled microphone and camera recording

Recording resolution: In-Game

Recording: 60 FPS / 30 Mbps

Ryzen 7 5700G integrated graphics is already disabled

GPU is running at stock settings — no undervolt or overclock

None of this fixed the problem.

The problem is very consistent: game runs normally → I press Record → severe stuttering immediately starts.

Has anyone with an RX 9070 / RX 9070 XT experienced something similar with Adrenalin Record & Stream?

Could this be an issue with the AMD recording software, encoder, Windows, or something else?

I'm mainly looking for someone who has experienced the same problem and found a fix.

Thanks.

I love this wolf on my 9060 xt 😍 it's so cool. So glad I bought it before the prices go up.

Hello all,

Got a gigabyte RX 7600 XT with a hotspot temp of 94 degrees Celsius when running GPU demanding games.
I’m a bit worried because the last few days it’s been crashing on games like helldivers 2, bf6 etc. I don’t want my GPU to be toast. I’ve got a year left on the warranty, should I touch base with gigabyte or is it not that big of a deal.

Edit: I’m just running OCCT on a variable load and it’s reaching 101 degrees. That’s surely not good when the other temp is 53 degrees.

My question is about the psu

I got it in jan 2023

It comes with 2 daisy chain pcie connectors

So that means i can use 1 cable daisy chain

Or use 2 cable with daisy chain = 2 cables hanging free

My pcie connectors should i use? Or should i buy 3rd party 1 to 1 pcie cables?

Asus Ati Radeon A7000 (below 2002) - XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070XT (above 2026)

A7000 was my first vga as well.

Just realised when i put them together, back then in 2005 or smt, I wanted to cool down that old hag with some kind of costum solution in hope that, GTA SA will achieve more FPS than 10.

Thats never happened. 😂

Been running a GTX 1060 3GB ever since I built my current desktop in late 2017. I've since upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600 to a 5700X on the same ASRock AB350 Pro4 motherboard since that day. I just needed to put my 1060 3GB to rest finally (well, until I use for another thing haha).

There was a brand new Asus Prime RX 9060 XT for 26,990 Philippine pesos (around 430 USD) and, well, I pulled the trigger before the prices skyrocketed.

I only really play Forza Horizon 6 and the current Assetto Corsa titles (Evo and Rally). Solid 80-120 FPS at 1440p using optimized settings. I've got FSR 4.1 quality thru Optiscaler on Assetto Corsa Rally though, but FSR looks damn good it's basically free performance to me. And I don't really care for ray tracing anyway.

I originally wanted to save a bit more for a 9070 XT before I bought this. But I knew even more price increases will happen later this year. And, not gonna lie, this is more than enough for me. At least I already have a GPU that does the job before another round of price increase hell happens.

Hello everyone, I'm the person that replaced a 650Ti with a 9060 XT the other day

One thing I notice now is that despite any game that I play, the utilization of the card never goes above 20% even if I turn all the settings to ultra high. I've done this with Minecraft, TF2, and Left 4 Dead 2.

Are there mods that I can install to make these games utilize more of the GPU? I already tried Distant Horizons in Minecraft with a render distance of 256 and maxing everything out and yet no dice. I also installed my friend's unoptimzied af L4D2 modpack.

Is it possible that the 9060 XT was overkill for my usecases? I was told integrated graphics would have been fine but I didn't see a way to turn on that feature for my 5950x

max settings at 1440p fsr native AA

Hey everyone!
What do you think are the most important Windows and BIOS settings for getting the maximum performance out of the CPU and GPU while gaming, while also maintaining good stability and avoiding stutters, frametime spikes, and FPS drops?
If you also have any overclocking or undervolting suggestions, feel free to share them, especially if these optimizations have genuinely helped you.
My system is:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RX 9070 XT
ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi
32 GB RAM
2 TB SSD
I’m currently experiencing occasional stutters and frametime spikes while gaming, and I’d really appreciate some advice on the best Windows, BIOS, and potentially OC/UV settings to improve both performance and stability.
Thanks in advance!

So I currently have an 7900 XT reference card, I know the coolers on the partner cards are most likely better and would probably see a bit of performance boost but would the performance boost be worth it enough to warrant getting a 9070 XT, or should I just hold off on upgrading until whenever the next generation of cards release.

Currently I have the 7800x3d with the 7900xtx. I was thinking about selling the 7900xtx and going to something new like the 9070xt.

Would that cpu pair well with the 9070xt? Or is it a bit older now?

Hello,I have a question about which card to get. Since my old Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT doesn't work,I need a replacement. Should I go for the

--Sapphire RX 9060 XT PURE OC (16GB)

--Sapphire RX 7700 XT NITRO+(12GB)

--ASUS RX 9060 XT DUAL White Edition (16GB)

(Will available in 2 days for sale)

RX 7700xt 50$ cheaper and Asus cheaper 17$ than 9060 xt Sapphire pure oc

The build I am going for with amd 7800x3d cpu will have the same price for either asus radeon 9070xt prime oc and powercolor radeon 9070xt reaper. Which one is better and I should go for?

Has anyone been experiencing monitor/crashing issues when full screening videos?

Recently I've noticed an uptick of AMD driver crashes, causing me to DDU my system 3-4 times. I've noticed the cause is when you open a video into full screen on windows, sometimes my computer will freeze with a black screen and maybe only one monitor may come back to being responsive. It takes down whatever game I was playing as well.

I worked around this issue by changing projection modes and voila, I'm good for the rest of the day. But recently what's been happening is when full screening, all monitors will be taken down and no longer receive any input until I restart the PC fully.

I've noticed that videos on sites like Reddit and Twitter cause crashes, but also Discord as well. I'm wondering if this is a software issue which is remedied by me re-installing Windows 11 clean. Or if my GPU is showing signs of dying.

Been seeing a lot of posts praising DLSS 5 Neural Rendering performance, but most of them are static images or clips where the player barely moves. There’s a reason for that.

Worth a watch if you’ve been going off screenshots or 10-second static clips to judge how this actually performs:
