@iSpeakVeryWell are You using adrenalinę software?
And why You smashed my record ?

@iSpeakVeryWell are You using adrenalinę software?

No, driver only.

And why You smashed my record ?

Because yesterday you inspired me!

I scored 8 044 in Steel Nomad

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 11}

I've tested it on windows 10 ltsc, maybe 10 is more stable than 11 , (If You wanna check I won't stop You )

It's funny that you bring that up, installing Win10 is what I'm doing right now!

 

[Braegnok]

No, driver only.

In Device Manager is your 9070 XT Driver the 4/25/2025 version.

I tried running GPU Tweak III with adrenaline software disabled, but the adrenaline software was causing issues,.. so I uninstalled all AMD software and installed driver with Windows update.

This is the driver I got with Windows update.

I get Error in 3DMark Driver not approved,.. running the 2/12/2025 driver.

 

[iSpeakVeryWell]

so I uninstalled all AMD software and installed driver with Windows update.

This is not a good thing. It's preferable to not let Windows install the drivers.

If you don't want to install Adrenalin, you have to select "Driver Only" in the drop down list during installation.

Thanks, I will give that a shot.

Edit:
Awesome! I would have never thought of that, thanks for the help.

 

[Kwadratowicz]

@Biker And how are Your temps after installing ptm? (just curious )

 

[H82LUZ73]

Just got my other system up and running ,Can see why i upgrade to 9070xt from the 7700xt .Second system is for my guitar recording audio stuff .

Welcome to the party

Playing some Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on the 4K TV. Figured I'd load up an overlay to capture some numbers and caught some wild power spikes, decided to record a little bit to share.

Bare in mind my TBP is rated at 240 (9070 NITRO+).

TPU reviews has spikes too , those are short bursts of power, and nothing to fear of, newer psu are designed to work in those spiky conditions ^^.
Funny thing I've had worst spikes on stock settings, after uv of gpu it is more stable with powerdraw .

Everything looks wrong in these screenshots
From GPU/CPU power consumption, to VRAM usage, to the PS2 era graphics. Guess UE5 says it all.

Why, I would love to have near 500W power draw constant with my 9070 xt
I don't know why, but it could be fun to watch while the card melts itself

You'll be making blue ice cream from the "server grade " Gigle bite thermal gel , just sit a plastic container underneath the GPU

I'm planning to redo the "server grade" thermal gel to some better solution in the autumn/fall, and change the thermal past to ptm, and deshroud card with 1x120 and 1x140mm fans , or dual 140mm fans
But first I need to buy gpu that will be my backup ^^.

 

[rusty caterpillar]

I've taken card from system for inspection, and for now it looks like it's ok, maybe radeon is not hot enough to melt the thermal gel.

It's a little different angle, but the thermal gel does not touch vapor chamber in both cases .
exactly month between pictures.
(I hoped that it was not the case, and I could mod my gpu , cause 2x120 fits

Now I need just check which is stable for gaming , but that is for another day

I would go 3x 92mm as the rotors of 92 are smaller and rotors are inactive cooling areas, but is worth trying what you already have, besides 25mm thickness is way much better than 10mm or whatever is the stock on Gigabyte. I think I've seen in the past on an Asus GPU something like 13-15 mm thickness stock fans but, can't remember which, was a 2x fan card.

Lol , it's been a good run.

UE5 indeed. Still uses 8-9GB at my usual 1080p max settings which is still on the high side for a game like this.

My tuning was at stock in those shots so I'm guessing stock = we'll do what we want rather than a stable limit.

I would stay away from 14cm unless you planning to find a wider heatsink.

It's exactly why I wanna 140mm fans
Cause of the air that is going out of the fins, it could help with guide the hot air to not intake it again .
And with 3d printer I can make shroud to utilize 140mm on all of the heatsink. (Like I've done with gtx 1070 ti mini from zotac, it had 90 and 100mm fans, and after adding 140mm fan as main cooler it was way colder than original . )

 

[jormungand]

I just got it yesterday from Microcenter, testing today for frames, temps and checking if it pops some coil whine.
I pulled the trigger since my wife supported me mentally to get it and have no remorse. $719.99 is too much imo for a gpu but since i already grabbed the 9800x3d on xmass
im putting together a balanced system to forget myself about upgrading for at least 3 more years to come.
Pc gaming or i should say gpu market is getting stupidly overpriced and games are less and less optimized.
but well this is not the thread for my personal rant
Count me in, last amd gpu i had was the hd5870 so im practically a noob
can you recommend me tests and software that i should be running to test my card.



thanks in advance

 

[Kwadratowicz]

can you recommend me tests and software that i should be running to test my card.

Steel nomad is fine cause it's free. But best benchmark for You is Your games , for example I could run steel nomad with -85 mV, but in games it was unstable.
From software go for gpuz from techpowerup. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
It's great tool to see the parameters that Your card is running.
About UV and OC, You can get moreclocktool from igorslab https://www.igorslab.de/en/the-more...nt-to-the-morepowertool-replaces-the-wattman/ There is one more from other that amd I think it was asus gpu tweak III but someone could verify it, or just use stock adrenaline and see if it is stable for You.
If You use third party app to OC and UV You can install only drivers from amd, without adrenaline software.
I see that You are on win 11, so You don't need other tool for screenshots .

I can recommend the last of us part 1 it's a good test for stability. But at least two hours non stop testing. At the start game will not crash but later it gets more and more less stable when it comes to stability. These benchmarks 3dmark and unigine is simply terrible test for stability fake scores is different stroy.

 

[Kwadratowicz]

I think that for pretest what is working they are quite good, after tests with benchmarks I back up a little and then test it on real world scenario, and it works quite well in this combination for me .
