The RX 6000 series Owners' Club

My Vizio has 3 HDMI (2 of which support HDR), 1 Composite Input (), Analog Out & Optical Out ...

The LAST thing I wanna see is 50 inches of composite video on that display. Even if I had a Component To HDMI converter for my PS2, it's gonna be bowling shoe ugly. 720p is the lowest resolution worth watching on it.

driver inbound ?

Hopefully some good release notes this time since discovery of MPO breaking many things.
Seems firefox also hates it when other apps run vsync and then causes freesync to break while forcing vsync off makes freesync work really well especially with MPO off.
edit: another disapointing driver not recognizing MPO related issues pretending the issue does not exist does not make it go away AMD.

AMD is not your friend, even when many report disabling MPO fixes issues they won't acknowledge it meanwhile Nvidia however.

I won't feel any pitty for AMD when Nvidia destroys their market share even further.

 

[Kabouter Plop]

Some one discovered vsync is broken even if vsync is left by aplication control, forcing vsync off globally fixes everything even MPO flickering within steam i cant believe AMD has't figured this out yet, it seems vsync is engaging 2 times by the looks of it giving 2 times more increased latency as result, and this is leading to MPO to crap out and freeze which as result blacks out.

I bought a used Asus Tuf RX 6900 XT OC, very well built board, I'm just bothered by the temperature, it's getting to 82c/102c, my case is relatively well ventilated and it hasn't even started summer here where I live.. Anyone else with this model to give feedback on it?

That's exactly the temperature I see on my reference 6750 XT. According to AMD, hotspot temp up to 110 °C is fine. Have you run any stability test on it to see if your performance is consistent across different temperature ranges?

I've been using Enhanced sync with no problems ever since its debut a couple years ago.

Enchanced sync cause minor freezes when alt tabbing its still broken, altho it probably happens more at higher resolutions, remember couple of drivers ago they claimed to have fixed blackscreens as well but people experiencing blackscreens now since least 22.6.1 and probably 22.5.2 as well, they probably trying to make it Microsoft problem so they dont have to fix it expecting Microsoft to fix it.

I ran a few runs of Timespy and Firestrike, about 15min of Cyberpunk and 1h of Metro Exodus, after about 10min it reached that temperature and stabilized.. I was expecting lows 70c, due to the size of its cooler.

I came from a Rog RX 6800 (non XT) and Rtx 3090 Waterforce, both very cold cards.. 80c/100c scares me...

I have the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900XT and when I leave it at stock fan setting, temps do get pretty high, I dislike the 'Zero' fan setting, so I'd go into Adrenalin CP and create a custom, and aggressive I might add, fan curve. Now, with Ambient temp at 23-24C, the GPU shows around 70C with Hotspot temps not exceeding 90C.

On mine I needed to lower the maximum speed of the stock curve, it reached 100% after 72c, something like that, which was very noisy, I left it to 80% above 75c...

I am considering an upgrade from my 1060 3gb to a 6750xt for $400. Nearly 3x the performance for $400 seems decent.

Which model are you looking at? I have the AMD reference which is beautiful, but runs hot as hell (not that it's an issue, though).

 

[Terronium-12]

Upgraded from a 2080.

Already had my hand in overclocking it, but I'm still messing about with voltages and the like. I don't know why, but the 319 cards (6900, in particular) just...don't exist to any of the review websites I read or tech channels I frequent.

Hi everyone
I'm enjoying my new Sapphire Rx 6650 XT pulse since monday. She performs very well in 4k even with Ray tracing in Gotham Knights for example.
But I've noticed something that didn't happenned with my old RX 580 Nitro+ which was plugged with a 6 pins and a 8 pins.
The 8 pins was provided through my power supply with molex adaptator to 8 pins, no problems here, 175w of consumption at 100% gpu utilization.

Now the 6650xt, got the juice only with this 8 pins adaptator and weirdly the sensors from Adrenalin software didn't say the value I could have watched in many reviews.

Through GPU-Z and Adrenalin my consumption is max 143W and more, my GPU utilization doesn't reach 100%, only 99%. All games and benchmarks run smoothly, I've coherent results in 3dMark comparing at what I see in reviews or tests. Only, that strange feeling that maybe my PSU must be upgraded, it's a 550W (Antec Neo He) but with no native 8 pins wire. I add, that Radeon chill or power management are off and I've tried the auto overclok from Adrenalin and I've got a boost till 155w of consumption.

Did someone have a 6650XT and can share his values ? I plan to change my PSU but not immediately.

 

[GreiverBlade]

22.11.1 still no alt-tab, MPO or VSYNC issues (if set on application preference, it's set by the application correctly), zero blackscreen (2880x1620p DP as usual, 1920x1080p secondary screen on HDMI for test )

Win 10 21H2 still ~3 years till forced Win 11 i have marging

they may try to make it a M$ issue, but it seems it is ... (at least from what i see it mostly happens with Win 11 )

mmhhh 99% and lower consumption but all run smooth and 3dMark is coherent? i see no issues here

99% usage is normal. The 143 W you see in GPU-Z is GPU chip only power consumption. I'm not sure if your 6650 XT measures total board power consumption. My reference 6750 XT doesn't.

 

[Krajlevic]

Thank you all.
I was wondering if the molex adaptator wasn't reliable comparing to a native 8 pins cable. I read also that Adrenalin software wasn't accurate for the power drawn et minimize.
Thanks for reassuring me !

Personally, I wouldn't rely on a Molex adapter long-term, but it'll probably do until you change your PSU to a unit with proper 8-pin PCI-e cables - which should be your next upgrade, imo.

Well, that's weird ... but I won't complain! Just replaced my Ryzen 5 3600 with a 5600. Cinebench would fricassee the 3600 to a maximum of 71 degrees. It had been idling at the mid 40s and spiking to the low to mid 60s for last few weeks. But the 5600 topped out at just 55 degrees after 1 hour of Cinebench. These improved thermals put the kibosh on the RX 6600 randomly ramping up and down while surfing the internet or watching YouTube videos ...

Congrats on your new CPU, although it has little to do with your GPU ramping up and down. It does that because youtube and your web browser use its hardware acceleration feature. Although I wonder, do you mean its fan is ramping up and down? How hot is the GPU core while you're watching youtube? There must be something with your case ventilation.

 

[Terronium-12]

Ran Superposition several times, ran the FH5 bench several times, and let Heaven loop for a solid 20+ minutes, and this is seemingly stable at 2775/2100 at 1.075v.

Mid 40s or so. But I think MSI Afterburner was the culprit after all. I had set a manual fan curve with the 1050 and forgot to set it back to Auto when I installed the RX 6600 ...

Question: I've now clocked the 6900 to 2800/2100 and was at 1.075v, then bumped it up to 1.09 just to be safe. Then I noticed the voltage was still bumping up to 1.175, so does Adrenaline ignore the set voltage if the set frequency requires more to be stable?

I've set it back to max (1.175) for the time being to be even safer.

What I've noticed is that the voltage slider, even though has fixed values, is more like an offset kind of thing, an approximation.

The only way to cap the voltage is via MorePowerTool
