I was thinking about 4K, but then I got a UW monitor, and I don't want to go back to a non UW :love:
Cyberpunk is the only game that I want to see the FSR on my 6800XT, its the only game that with RT on goes to 30 FSP at my resolution, and I mean only reflections, shadows and global illumination are not something I am impressed by in Cyberpunk, but RT reflections does look better.
have you tried FidelityFx and maybe drop details a bit?
Currently I'm playing GodFall and Horizon Zero Dawn. Well and EU truck simulator 2 :p I don't need to do anything with these games to run with higher FPS though.
FSR with CP2077 outta be interesting. I would like to see what FPS I would get with it. FidelityFX works good with this you may as well try it. Suggesting not to go below 70%-75%.

Are you serious? I got a 27 inch 4k 144hz and I couldn't be more happier with it :) You know, if you can't see good enough just bump the font size :)
I ditched my glasses a year ago and I haven't even noticed and yet I'm not a young one either :p My LG GN950 is just awesome :)
I need to test it. :p
In the past I did not had strong enough GPU for 4k :laugh: but since I have 6900XT I thought about it but the electronic stores where closed due to Covid to go and check some 4k monitors in real life.
My eyes are a little sensitive.:D
Few years ago they were really good but now at 45 age the focus distance for reading small text is getting larger and I need working glasses for monitors. :laugh:

I am not always happy with increasing DPI. I have that done on my work laptop but some of the tools that I use at work does not look that nice on higher DPI.
Browser for example is no issue.

I can't imagine to go back to 1440p or lower. For me 4K is a game changer and everything i've purchased recently, is due to that fact. New CPU new graphics, new screen. All for 4K gaming and so far I couldn't be more pleased and happy with my choice :) My 6900XT works perfectly fine and the 5800X i purchased last week, kick the 6900XT in some games to a whole new level :)

I spent all my money on the recent purchases. So I can't afford a 4k monitor. Any suggestions I should keep an eye on? My 6800xt is not even stressed at all at 1080p.

If you aim for 4k then the best solution as of today would be the LG GN950. There is a new refresh and there will be more monitors 4k 144Hz with low latency but believe it or not, buying this monitor was a struggle. When it had hit shelves I simply was hunting for it. I struck in 3 stores and had to cancel the order. At some point I had ordered this LGGN950 in 4 stores and only one confirmed and send it. Not sure how it looks now to be honest. 4K is the way to go for me and with your 6800 XT you can go no wrong with 4K. Unless you wanna go for 1440p or maybe something like Ultra Wide?

Hey everyone, I have been reading a lurking on this thread for a few weeks now. I wanted to know if I have reached the max I can with this card.

I purchased a Liquid Devil 6900xt, and have it pared with a R9 5900x, 1000w PSU (Asus Strix "Seasonic").

In game (Dx12, Vulkan, DX11) I can keep my sliders at min 2600, max 2700, +15% (max mem, w/ fast timing) 58c/78c, and basically achieve effective clock of about 2650mhz (any higher I will crash the game).

I cannot achieve this in Timespy or Timespy Extreme, 2625 (max slider) is all i can do reliably without driver crash to desktop (or black screen).
In Port Royal - 2650 (max)

I have tried MPT (375/375) +15% (~405w at peak), (no mpt ~345w peak), but it seems not matter how much extra power I give, I cannot get past 2625 max slider for TimeSpy.


I have pulled the water block off and found 2 of the screws holding the block to the GPU were barely tight (Noticed Hotspots around 110 in Adia64).
My 3 year old son could probably have removed them with his fingers...

So I completely pulled the block, and repasted "Kryonaut", and re-set the block with much more tension. Hotspots now about 88c in Aida for GPU Stress.

I feel like this is the max this card can do in Timespy, w/o a voltage increase.
Would you guys think the same, or is there something else I'm missing?

Please don't take this as complaining (I really love this GPU (coming from a 2080 Super)), the rasterization of this card is phenomenal!
I can game in 4k with it being above 110FPS in most games (no RT)

I am just trying to see what the maximum I can push this :)

1440p ultrawide is fine too.

have you tried FidelityFx and maybe drop details a bit?
Currently I'm playing GodFall and Horizon Zero Dawn. Well and EU truck simulator 2 :p I don't need to do anything with these games to run with higher FPS though.
FSR with CP2077 outta be interesting. I would like to see what FPS I would get with it. FidelityFX works good with this you may as well try it. Suggesting not to go below 70%-75%.
In Cyberpunk without RT I get around 70-80 FPS with all settings maxxed out (basically all Ultra) at 3440X1440. I tried FidelityFX with 50 to 75% resolution scaling with RT reflection, but it looks quite crappy compared to the native resolution. The game looks fantastic even without RT. That's why I am curious if AMD and CD Project will implement it in Cyberpunk, if it looks at least 90% as the FSR presentation in Godfall, it would look tons better than Fidelity FX with resolution scaling, and actually make it playable without loosing a ton of detail :)
But then again, that FSR presentation is just that, a presentation, how actual FSR will look I have no idea.


As said, that's the only game I played that with RT goes bonkers, have played Shadow of The Tomb Raider with RT High and Ultra (not that it looks better, just because I could :D), RT High gets me around 80 FPS, Ultra around 60. Horizon Zero Dawn gets 100-110 FPS

Another one that could probably need FSR in the future is The Witcher 3 remastered with RT, have a feeling since its and Nvidia sponsored game that it wont run to great on AMD with RT, RT(hair)works again :roll:

Not an expert on the 6900XT, but one thing I noticed that might be an issue for you, you say "max mem, w/ fast timing", its quite common that maxxing the mem clock will actually degrade performance since the vram chips on most 6800XT and 6900XT are starting to cause errors over 2100mhz with fast timing and can ever cause crashes (especially in 3Dmark, happened to me) if mem is pushed to hard. I would try to set the mem at max 2100mhz and retest again with GPU frequency changes.

Is the Liquid Devil 6900 an XT or an XTU? If its an XT "only", 2.65ghz ingame is quite good, some here can attest to that :)

The only thing you could really push more is replacing the Kryonaut with Liquid Metal, does wonders for temps, but is not for everybody since it can be tricky and need a leap of faith so to say :p

That's funny, I had the same feeling of my 5800X kicking my 6800XT to a whole new level :)

1440p ultrawide is fine too.
6800XT and 2k Ultrawide are a match made in heaven :D

Damn LG GN950 look interesting but also quite expensive. :D
Most known stores like Caseking.de are selling it in range of 1000€.

I don't think I tried a higher core OC with Mem Lowered. I did do incremental steps with the mem in TSpy, and noticed a gain on each tick up to the max. I'll give it a whirl with mem lowered.

Yes its just an "XT", I am very satisfied with 2.65ghz in game as well; still looking to see if i can squeeze more out :roll:

I'll hold off on the Liquid Metal for now, may revisit in the future!

Thanks for the info!

Welcome to the club. :D
What you mentioned about ocing and Timespy seems to be fit in general. Not many 6900XT can be pushed much higher expect if you are lucky and got a golden chip.
2650MHz in games is decent.
I have 6900XT Liquid Devil Ultimate and this is stable for 2550MHz min and 2750MHz max @1175mV in Time Spy. So gives me around 2700MHz in games.
My 6900XTU which is XTXH chip can run upto 2780MHz in games with 2850@1175mV (max voltage possible 1200mV) but that setting is not stable in 3DMARK so I don't use it on daily gaming as well.

I was also not very satisfied with temperatures on original paste but mine did not reach 110°C but maxed at 92°C.
Now I am on Liquid Metal and hotspot temperatures in games hover around 70°C.
In stress tests with 400W Core power setting, hotspot temperatures remains below 78°C. :D

Check though if your memory is stable at 2150MHz.
As @Felix123BU mentioned many RDNA2 don't like much higher than 2100MHz on memory.
I am not ocing memory at all at the moment as performance is already quite good even without memory oc.:rolleyes:

Thanks for the info, from what I was reading I pretty much figured that what I have is maxed out :) Still overall very happy with the card, just couldn't believe how lose the 2 screws on the outside of the GPU hold down were.. Poor QC, but i'm sure they're are just trying to pump as many of these out as they can right now.

I will probably attempt a liquid metal in the future. But right now, I can't complain :)

I did attempt just now dropping the Mem to defaults, and still no dice.
Ah well, I'm pretty sure I am at the max of this chip unless someone finds away to unlock the voltage to 1.2 :)

oooo yes, I would very very much love if in future I could adjust the chip voltage, even a bit higher, its a pity that AMD does not allow at least a bit of leeway, even if I suspect that the chips are pushed to the max, but still, maybe some chips still have some extra in them, as you said, I am not complaining (not a lot :D), I am also super pleased with my card, I really did not expect the 6000 series to be so strong :)

oooo yes, I would very very much love if in future I could adjust the chip voltage, even a bit higher, its a pity that AMD does not allow at least a bit of leeway, even if I suspect that the chips are pushed to the max, but still, maybe some chips still have some extra in them, as you said, I am not complaining (not a lot :D), I am also super pleased with my card, I really did not expect the 6000 series to be so strong :)
Higher voltage does not always help. :D
Mine can be set to 1.2V but higher voltage and power more than 400W does not help to stabilize the card above 2750MHz setting in 3DMark benchmarks. :p

Yeah, that's why I said I guess most chips are already pushed to the max by default, but there might be exceptions :D

Speaking of AMD's FSR, I am playing Xenoblade Cronicles X on CEMU emulator (its weekend, I have some free time :D) , its a Wii U game (which is an old and weak console compared to modernish PC's), and CEMU can use either Bilinear, Bicubic, Hermite or Nearest Neighbor upscaling (so simple traditional upscaling tech) (since the Wii U supported max 1080p), and the upscaling looks muuuuuuch better than what AMD used in the initial FidelityFX resolution modifier.

I am a bit confused, why did they, or Nvidia for that matter, did not use simple upscaling until now, the consoles had it, both PS4 and Xbox One, so why was this not used in PC??? (actually I know why, it would have stopped a lot of people from upgrading :roll:)
The game looks very good on my UW monitor being upscaled to 3440x1440, unexpectedly good considering it was designed for the Wii U with very limited graphic capabilities. Have not had the "pleasure" of seeing DLSS 1.0 with my own eyes, but from the multitude of videos on YouTube, the CEMU upscaling is at least on par with DLSS 1.0, if not better, less smearing.....so if some guys can create such a solution in their own free time, why could AMD or Nvidia not do it until recently?

Anyway, its late here and its time for conspiracy theories :laugh:

I agree.
I will waite to see it myself before I judge it.

As you said it is always funny how fanboys start trolling around every time. :laugh:

I agree AMD is late to the party but let's see how FSR will develop in the future. I also don't think AMD at the moment can challenge DLSS 2.0 but let's see.
This is also first AMD generation to support RTX at all. Let's see how it will develop in next generations of cards.

I mean nobody including me expected anything from RDNA2 as many thought no way AMD will ever catch up with Nvidia but here we are with 6900XT trading blows with 3090 on non RTX tests. :D

Many then said Nvidia will bring 3080Ti to blow AMD away but according to review from TPU it is not much faster than 6900XT.
It is pity that W1zzard did not include his 6900XTXH card to compare to 3080Ti.



It would be really interesting though if 3080Ti will sell for 1200$. If that happens then at least gamers have one option to get a card that is not crazily overpriced at the moment. :rolleyes:

6900XT is selling for almost 2000€ and 3090 for near to 3000€. o_O
6900XT is faster than a 3080ti on all resolutions below ~4K. This is one of the things that makes it difficult to say which card is faster this generation. AMD is too close to be defined as a loser.

Please stop trolling on RDNA2 owners thread and trying to bring this thread into NVIDIA vs AMD flame war. :(

We really don't care about DLSS 2.0 and I never tried or compared it to DLSS 1.0.
I just simply don't care about it.

I like to game at 2k with high frame rates and for that my 6900XTU is a great card having frame rate in range of 100-110 in Cyberpunk on Ultra settings.
100-110 in Cyberpunk on Ultra settings; Performance is usually a tier lower than that around 70-90 FPS with all settings maxed out except Psycho SSAO on my OCed 6900XT.

Thanks for the info, from what I was reading I pretty much figured that what I have is maxed out :) Still overall very happy with the card, just couldn't believe how lose the 2 screws on the outside of the GPU hold down were.. Poor QC, but i'm sure they're are just trying to pump as many of these out as they can right now.

I will probably attempt a liquid metal in the future. But right now, I can't complain :)



I did attempt just now dropping the Mem to defaults, and still no dice.
Ah well, I'm pretty sure I am at the max of this chip unless someone finds away to unlock the voltage to 1.2 :)
Listening to you guys on water/ XTX chips, I think I lucked out with my reference 6900XT with 2665 MHz (>2600 MHz in-game) and full memory OC on air. These clocks are multiple Timespy and other 3d mark stress tests stable for hours. I can play with 2700MHz in-game frequency without crashes but I like to have rock stable settings for my GPU.

Another one that could probably need FSR in the future is The Witcher 3 remastered with RT, have a feeling since its and Nvidia sponsored game that it wont run to great on AMD with RT, RT(hair)works again :roll:
Yeaa, I agree. Don't expect The Witcher 3 to get any better. Here are some of the recent results for it (modded game). And that is without Hariworks on.

Did the new radeon drivers do anything to stability? Before I updated the drivers I could only oc my 6700xt to around 2720, after the update I could do 2820 and it never crashes now.

Hi fellow RX 6000 series owners....I have a slightly unusual question: did you ever run the 3DMark DirectX Raytracing feature test?

I have an Asus TUF RX 6900 XT OC. With 21.4.1 drivers, I see a very low score in the 3DMark DirectX Raytracing feature test: 27.41 FPS. I see something abnormal in the monitoring logs: the GPU Memory Clock Frequency seems to drop down quite a lot and is very unstable. Only see this kind of behavior in DirectX Raytracing feature test.

The issue is fixed if I roll back to 21.2.3. With 21.2.3 drivers I see 32.18 FPS.

I do see something slightly abnormal in the monitoring logs: the GPU Memory Clock Frequency seems to fluctuate quite a bit. Only see this kind of behavior in this raytracing feature test.

All drivers after 21.2.3 seem to have the problem!

Have any of you seen this issue?

My PC specs:
GPU: Asus TUF RX 6900 XT OC (Power Slider: +15%, Max Frequency: 2600 MHZ).
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (PBO ON)
Motherboard: Asus Strix B550-F Gaming (WiFi)
BIOS Version: 1804
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3800MHZ CL16 (2x16GB)
PSU: Seasonic FOCUS GX-1000 1000W 80+ GOLD FULLY MODULAR
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10 PRO 19043
GPU Drivers: Adrenalin Driver Version: 21.4.1
I got a score of 28.70 with the latest drivers. My mem clocks were completely stable though.

Can soc voltage lead to pci-e instability ? have a feeling my soc voltage is higher with 6900 XT then i used to have with old gpu, now i lowered it quite a bit and overwatch stops crashing, i may try lower it even more after i test memory properly to see if i can have it stable at lower voltages, im not woried about temps my rig is fully watercooled, sorry if this is wrong place to ask.

Damn LG GN950 look interesting but also quite expensive. :D
Most known stores like Caseking.de are selling it in range of 1000€.
I bought it for $1000 and it was cheap :) Just checked prisjakt.no. No GN950 available :/
You have it listed but it does not work the listed price you buy for it in Norway :)

BTW. My CPU rose to 70c with the GodFall. Damn what a great game. My nephews tried it today. RT on and the FPS damn dropped to 56 :O WTF.
The further you go the more demanding it is. But I gotta say. The game is so damn optimized like few I know. You played this?
I got a 5800X so... wanna battle who's got a better score in a bench with your 6800XT ? :p

Look at the LG CX. Works great for 4K 120Hz gaming. And doubles as a TV.

agreed. i really hope in a couple years we have LG 40" OLED 120hz 4k models for around $899. probably won't get that lucky... but I can dream.

I don't own GodFall.
Currently I am playing Cyberpunk.
I own 6900XTU Liquid Devil Ultimate card now. If you remember the 6800XT got destroyed by ESD.
My 5800X is now going to my son's computer and I own 5900X. :D

GodFall is a cool game and it does utilize CPU and GPU well.
I remember now the 6800XT got ruined but I didn't know you got the Ultimate version.
How far were you able to push the Ultimate version?

It is running at 2750MHz@1175mV 415W Core Power and 400A TDC. So in games frequency around 2700MHz.
I was unable to get it until now stable in 3DMARK benchmarks higher than that.
In Heavon I can run it at 2850MHz@1185mV for hours without crash but that setting is not really stable in heavy stress tests like Time Spy.
It could work in games but I don't like to run a setting that is not 100% stable in stress tests. :p
I did not try with higher than 415W Core power. Maybe that could make it stable at 2850MHz but I don't like to push it to it's power limits. :rolleyes:
