If flashing to default bios does nothing I would try undervolt and raise powerlimit. Can you post a Picture from GPU-Z readouts when you put the card under load?

Remember the RX 470, slightly slower than 1060 3gb and used about the same power so very close to 5500 in performance pr watt.

After updating drivers my 5700 XT blower has downclocked/undervolted some. Max readout stock are now 1990MHz@1180mv vs 2034MHz@1200mv. Helps a bit Tried Gears 5 benchmark and got the following: Temps and powerconsumption is max value, not avg. 1610/850mv 110W 61-67C 100fps 1700rpm 1700/900mv...

Glad to hear that it worked out well for you :) There is some variance in the silicone lottery, my card is about average from what I have seen. One Lucky guy was able to run 1900 at 966mv stable, that is insane. About noise everyone has their own preferences. Around 2300rpm and higher the noise...

I haven't dobe anything to mem or power limit, might be further gains there :)

Thing is that AMD still overvolts heavily as I show here. I did not win the silicone lottery by any means, but undervolting by - 100mv without underclocking is no problem. For many users I would recommend doing just that. For the 5700XT blower style temps and noise is too high even with UV for...

Maybe mention before but a tips to lower temps on the 3000-series is to use the best thermal paste possible (not the stock stuff which). Safe approach is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut which often reduces temp by 3-5C during load compared with popular stock paste like MX-M4 etc. Second tips is to...

One of the major differences is that the Samsung can run tRFC a lot lower. Appart from CL, tRFC is often the most important timing for gamingperformance. How much tRFC does for the 3000-series I don`t know, but for the 1 and 2-series it could mean a lot (up to several percents) in some games. At...

It will be interesting to see. A bit sceptical about the 8-pin. Makes little sense. Thing is Polaris, Vega and Navi can be really efficient when AMD uses same voltage as Nvidia does. In the Asus notebook GL702zc the rx 580 ran at around 1100MHz, quite low volt and used around 70W. It was...

Thing is you used really low timings, most cheap ram, for instance 3000cl16 has no chance whatsoever of running 2933 at cl12. Samsung b-die however does that. I really find your testing interesting, but for many it's not possible to go so low. Can give you an example, I have G. Skill Aegis...

Hi. I use afterburner since I can set it to apply on boot and avoid the reset issue wattman has. I unlocked voltage control in settings. Moved voltage slider to 1060mv and clock sluder to 2000MHz :) Very simple. If unstable, try getting voltage higher, 1070, 1080 etc till it is stable. If 1060mv...

Sorry, misunderstood, not very good with english. Watch the temps on the 5700 XT, they are not good. I have the same card, running stock mem often went past 90C. If you undervolt it to 1060mv which I did without problems and set max clock to 2000MHz, it got 3% faster in games, 10C cooler...

If you plan to undervolt and slightly underclock then the Reference 5700 XT is a good deal, if you plan on running Stock: Stay away! They are insanely noisy and hot when running Stock. Please buy a Sapphire Pulse og Powercolor Red Dragon if you plan using Stock settings. They are the best of the...

Good cards with low noise and thermals: - Sapphire Pulse and Nitro. - Powercolor Red devil and dragon. - Gigabyte. - MSI Gaming X. - Asus Strix. Bad card due to noise and/or thermals: - Msi Evoke and Mech. - XFX Thicc. - Asrock challenger. - Asus Tuf.

I'm not saying that :) But I'm curious to see how much of an impact it has. Where I live B-die costed only 140usd for a while, cheapest E-die costed 110usd so in that case I would consider B-die. Now the difference is larger and I would chose E-die any time but it can change again. Currently...
