Is this a normal score with a 6C6T Intel?

I scored 10 412 in Time Spy

A little worse than expected but within reason.

Wanted to share an list of benchmarks with overclocks concerning VGA cards RX 6500 XT through RX 6800.

Most of them done with 13700K, the 6650 XT was done on a 13600KF. Both processors with frequency between 5.5 and 5.7ghz respectfully.

Would be possible to flash the 6700XT BIOS into a 6700 10GB? Provided both are same make a model, in this case Powercolor Fighter editions. I belive they even have the same memory chips. I got this idea from the 9070 flashed with 9070XT Bios. Or would be better to edit the non xt with MPT?

 

[Jism]

And then? You won't unlock anything because it's fused off by AMD. At best you get the power limits but you could still use MPT. Beats the purpose.

 

[VoodooSJ]

Thanks, that´s what I wanted to know. I played with MPT in the past to beat the timespy record. I don´t remember much now, time to play with it again.

I received my RX 6750 XT on this date 3 years ago. I still have it and it's likely to go into another Ryzen build.

It got re-TIM'ed months ago. I only took it out of my daily-driver, because of wanting to use Arc A770.

My third anniversary of RX 6750 XT.

This is exactly what happened to my RX 6700 XT. Yet, it migrated to my brother's Ryzen PC.

My 6700 XT has been on my 2nd PC since I bought my current RTX 3080 about 15 months ago. When using 6700 XT for 1080p60, it's still a beast.

It seems to be a beast for Vulkan!

My 6700 XT has taken up residence in the kid's girlfriend's PC. Which was my original gaming PC in 2018 with a 1060.

Reduce, reuse, replay co-op games online.

Lol, my 6700 XT is still in my main system and doing what it needs to do. Note, I'm not really a hardcore gamer so it still fits my needs.
The fact that it's got a Alphacool full cover waterblock and hardly ever exceeds 44 degrees Celsius (except for hotspot) during occasionally gaming @ 1440p, it probably will stay for a while.

I was tempted to upgrade to a RX 9070 XT but without a directly available full cover waterblock it is a no go.
Probably I just wait and see how FSR4 and project redstone will come along in the (near) future before upgrading.
Not that I'm a team red fanboy, if team green or blue comes up with an alternative performance/pricewise I'm willing to consider, meanwhile I'll just go with the flow .

The hotspot is a lot higher, which seems to be typical for the RX 67xx family. I re-TIM'ed it months ago to see if the new TIM paste would drop the hotspot by a lot, but it didn't!

My 6700 is also still going strong.

I suspect this thread will go far.

The 6700XT was too expensive for its performance, IMO - and even on the used market for some reason (probably the 12GB) it has held its value when similarly-performing alternatives dropped in price making it rarely an appealing purchase.

On Friday, however, I had the chance to see a 2070Super first-hand (that I assumed was still fast enough for AAA) utterly fail to deliver playable framerates. It was for a 4K TV and I assumed 4K with DLSS performance would effectively allow it run at 1080p with the benefits of crisper HUD and visuals in static scenes.

LOL no, 8GB is dead, unless you genuinely drop the resolution to 1080p and start tweaking settings on top of that. I told them that if they didn't want to mess with the graphics settings for new games, just run the TV at 1080p native. Integer scaling helps make it look crisper at least, but all of a sudden, 12GB cards of that era like the 6700XT and the RTX 3060 are looking like well-aged wine in a sea of spoiled 8GB produce.

See, 1080p performance is still relevant, but nobody is buying 1080p monitors any more. You've been able to pick up 4K televisions for next to nothing for the last decade or so now. This friend just replaced his old 4K television with a new 4K television and it cost him £150 (yes, that includes 20% sales tax too). Want a desktop monitor instead? 1440p PC monitors have been hovering around the $100 for several years now....

Yeah, ~20C difference between "GPU temp" and hotspot is perfectly normal. I have an aftermarket cooler (Raijintek Morpheus II + 2x Arctic P12) on my 6700 XT and still I see that delta between the two sensors.

Actually, the monitor and TV prices dropped a lot, very recently. Looks like they are less expensive than in 2023.

I paid a little under 400EUR (incl. VAT) from my 32" 4K60 monitor back in 11/2022.

But for me as I have my 2nd PC with 6700 XT hooked to a 1080p projector, 1080p it is for that.

After Steel Nomad stress test, yikes.

Ooof! Clogged heatsink?

Otherwise it's repaste o'clock. VRAM pads could need doing but I typically see GPU and VRAM temps stick together because they share copper traces and a heatsink.

No issues with the cooling. I have Morpheus II + 2x Arctic P12:s on the card and the contact is good. Memory and VRM is cooled by thermal glued heatsinks.

The issue is that there's over 28C ambient in my apartment, I hate summer...

29C here and even my 9070XT isn't hitting 80C.
edit: Just wandered over to it to check - PC room is 30C and the 9070XT has been running Planet Crafter at 1440p240 for the last 2 hours - GPU is at 54C with an mildly underclocked card pulling 265W.

Something's not right if you're hitting over 100C on that behemoth of a cooler. If you room was a chilly 18C, your GPU would be hitting 90C which is still too hot, even for a cold room. Looking at GPU reviews, those with bad coolers might hit 60C above ambient and ones with good coolers are closer to 40C above ambient.

But isn't that normal for RDNA2 cards to have such a huge delta between GPU and hotspot?

 

[Chrispy_]

Oh, hotspot deltas could be up to 20C on RDNA2 cards, but I only saw that on cheaper GPUs with bad coolers (Powercolor fighter 6600, Asus Dual 6650XT). My Sapphire Pulse 6700XT had a hotspot delta of about 13-14C and the Asus TUF 6800XT was very close to 10C.

I think the higher-clocked a GPU was, the bigger the expected hotspot delta - at least that's how I think it works. The larger, lower-clocked dies didn't get such high voltages shoved through them, and had beefier coolers with more thermal mass to combat hotspots.

Is your GPU overclocked and overvolted? Otherwise I would call a 30C hotspot delta a sign of poor mounting pressure. It should probably be half that....

Edit:
Yeah, something's not right with your cooling - W1zzard tested a bunch of cards and 17C is the largest hotspot delta - they range from 13-17C deltas which is exactly how I remember mine.

 

[Ruru]

Is your GPU overclocked and overvolted?

Yep, 1100mV and 2600-2700MHz target.

edit: Wonder what was the ambient with W1z?

@W1zzard have any memories of those tests?
