The scent is not strong at all. I think it smells almost fresh like Purel soap. My wife smelled it and thought it smelled like ocean immediately. I pressed and she said not like “the beach kind of ocean.” But like an ocean or beach scented candle.

The camera is terrible at pulling it up but the shroud is certainly pearlescent.

Now I regret that I don't have a waifu on my card!

 

[TSiAhmat]

What do you mean "rebooting the drivers"?

Ah sorry, I am not the best at articulating sometimes. I meant the Graphic Driver's, normally these should restart automatically if they ever crashed.

My train of thought was:

Maybe for some reason they could not restart automatically & if you restart them manually (Windows for an example has this shortcut "Win+Ctrl+Shift+B") it might resolve the problem.

Ah I see. I'm not sure if it's a driver crash, as my iGPU (also AMD) doesn't freeze. I'll have a look into it.

Edit: On second thought, I'm not sure how easy it's gonna be. On Linux, the AMD GPU driver is part of the kernel, not a separate entity.

Nah, it looks shiny and the colors are soothing and soft .
Congrats, I like the idea of going outside the white and black aesthetic in pc.
(I've changed from everything black in pc to black and white mix )

Considering a W9070 here

 

[Kwadratowicz]

Changing the settings like voltage offset and power limit is a bit risky while gpu is drainign 330 W, and i'm trying to suffocate it
First system reboot in linux , and even some errors on first reboot after crash, second reboot repaired everything
Testing -50mV and 280W of power draw, for now with PoE2 vram was around 74C and gpu hotspot was around 72C. (on stock it was vram 84C, hotspot around 80C)
Some custom fan curve that is using both temp sensors from vram and gpu hotspot to set fans speed, and for now testing is undergoing, but with few minutes in PoE2 there was no problems .
Edit: Coolercontrol has some problems with always control gpu fans. testing corectrl fan control settings .

 

[iSpeakVeryWell]

I just tried the new 25.5.1 driver and so far it's very good. The anoying stutter I had in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 are now gone, the game now buttery smooth. Also, I played Lies of P monday and I noticed the game was not as smooth as it used to be. The new driver fixed that as well.

I also feels like something changed with the colors. Both Expedition 33 and Lies of P felt more colorful, probably just my brain playing tricks on me tho.

and even some errors on first reboot after crash, second reboot repaired everything

Your system was probably fixed on first reboot. It's how systemd journalling work. When the kernel panic, systemd will print the error on next boot, but only on the next boot. It's very useful.

 

[Kwadratowicz]

I've needed to go back to 330W power limit PoE2 was stuttering when using lightning effects. -50 mV on core, and vram 82C, core 82C, and gpu 52C (is 30C difference between hotspot and core strange? )

I've got linux for something around 2 weeks now xD, so it's new to me how it crashes

Nice! I love this creativity, I just wish it came in darker tones.

My favourite GPU design is MSI's MLG series with their mascot turned into an anime character. Too bad they didn't care enough about AMD to do this for team red.

Said the guy who owns a £250 case.
I wish I had space for the 7000D, I'd buy one too.

But on a serious note, better to buy a 9070 now than spend the same total anyways on other stuff with less long-term value.

I needed bigger than middle tower case, because I hated to remove half of components every time I need to change something small, like a fan.
It's a really good case. You can fit 420mm 38mm thick radiator with push pull config on the top (25+38+25). Pricey but good case.
But, look, you buy case for what ... like 10 years? Case does not degrade over time like electronics. Maybe this one will last even more than 10+.

Posting update about my ASUS RX 9070 XT TUF:
Haven't had much time to test it in 3DMark. After few sessions of gaming, memory junction temp can go up to 75°C, while GPU hotspot temp is 59-60°C.
IT seems card will not ramp up fans because of high VRAM junction temp. I'm gonna try gaming at min. fan speed next time and see how temps change.

VRAM is Hynix. Fans won't start until GPU hotspot temp is below 60°C. Minimum fan PWM duty cycle seems to be 30% (~421 RPM).
Until PWM duty cycle of 42%, card remains really silent. At 30-36% not hearable. After 50% it starts to annoy me (personal thing) but it's still pretty silent.

ASUS GPU Tweak III software is ... could have been worse. Eats roughly 150 MB of memory, enables to tweak GPU voltage, power limit, freq. offset, fan curve, memory freq.
It kind of refreshes it's data maybe once in 2 or 3 seconds, so it's a bit annoying - sometimes you apply changes and see no immediate feedback.
ASUS say the software works with cards of any brand, so you can try it. I find it better than having whole Radeon driver suite eating up RAM.
For some reason, might be a bug, even when you save a profile, if you load any profile later the power limit and voltage frequency will always reset to defaults.
You have to load profile, change voltage and power limit and apply.

Have you tried Sapphire? They used to have to have the best Software package for AMD.

Hey guys. Developments:

1. FOMO got the better of me and I got a PowerColor Red Devil 9070XT. Purchased nearly a month ago from Amazon US for $850 and received it this week. BUT
2. Completely cleaned my PC yesterday for installation. Did the whole thing, new PSU, repasted my CPU etc. When running cables for RGB and final cable management, I connected the RD 9070XT included RGB cable incorrectly while leaning over my PC tower, tried taking it off and broke 2 pins of the RGB header. I was in shock for about 15secs then couldn't help but laugh.

LESSON: Do not lean over at weird angles while assembling a PC or plugging small stuff in tight spaces. Also, take breaks as the mind gets tired over long stretches.

My PC is used as an Unraid server with gaming VM but I've been experiencing AMD reset issues for some time now so haven't tested gaming/temps with the new card yet. I was using my XFX Quicksilver 9070 with no issues, reset script working but I couldn't update AMD drivers. Was stuck on 25.3.1. Issues started when I decided to use DDU to remove drivers fully (VM had GTX 1070 and AMD drivers) with the intention to reinstall Adrenalin. But a working VM still eludes me.

I did a test boot with a Windows 11 SSD, opened GPU-Z and the card shows Hynix memory. I'll have to try something to patch the broken RGB header pins when everything settles and also sell the XFX 9070.

To be fair, I did question PowerColor's design for that header bending out (if you install the GPU in the traditional horizontal orientation) towards the PC case door/panel. Such is life.

Loosing RGB is a cheap price for a life lesson (imo)

100% agreed. RGB is only cosmetic

Maybe dumb question: but is the time of your comments also wrong? It states 34 Min the second I posted

 

[Psychoholic]

Will be joining soon... sidegrade from 7900xtx to 9070XT Nitro+ because i like new shiny stuff.

Newegg gave me 750.00 for the 7900xtx through their trade-in program, sure i could have got more selling it outright but the trade-in is pretty convenient, making the 9070XT effectively $150.

Dunno. Timezone maybe? I'm ADT, time now is 10:31am

A user on this thread suggested I try MoreClockTool and I really liked it. Been using it since then. It's a great little tool that allow you to set driver settings without having adrenalin installed. You can go with "driver only" when you install them. It's just an app with no background service, therefore it use resources only when you open it until you close. It doesn't need to run in the background. It have save/load buttons that are very useful when driver reset. It does everything you ask of Asus GPU Tweak, except showing data. For that I use GPU-Z for an immediate feedback or HWinfo if I need more data. It's a poworful combo that use zero extra ressources when gaming.

Why bother with all this junk software, when the AMD driver has everything included?

 

[NSR]

I know NVIDIA drivers are a mess right now but the 9000 cards in Doom are punching above all their 50 series mid-range competitors.

(almost all, the 9070 is equal to the 5080).

Gen to Gen improvements.

RX 9070 XT is ~63% faster than RX 7800 XT
RTX 5070 is ~1.5% faster than RTX 4070

So you can have the same performance for half the price. There you go, AMD value hunters (aka. people who cry for AMD to be the cheaper alternative)!

The benchmarks which favour the 50 cards a bit more still have the 9070 XT above the 5080 and the 9070 above the 5070 Ti.

It's just one game but it's interesting to see since NVIDIA requested this benchmark to showcase their latest driver...Only to get beaten by the 9000 cards as well as their own 40 series.

So Nvidia wins by 1% in a hundred games while AMD wins by 100% in one game (exaggerated example, but still...).

It's come to my attention that NVIDIA released a better driver which is the one TPU used. Here's the 1% difference you mentioned. 9000 cards are still punching way above their weight.
