gotta love that ketchup and mustard cables there, btarunr!
testing new card vs cpu bottleneck?

This one's the bedroom rig. i5-9400F, 16GB 2666MHz, B365, MX500, and now this RX 5700XT. Perfect to troll the wife using furmark if we have a spat.

Btw, Furmark roasts this GPU to 113C. Balmy.

EarthDog · Jul 24, 2019

Stop running furmark already...seriously.

That thing is running THREE HUNDRED MHz BELOW ITS BASE CLOCK and still hitting 113C!!!

Also, the memory chips (has sensors now), is over 102C.

GPU hotspot swings between 109-113C.

Surprisingly, the card isn't as noisy as the ear-cancer causing R9 290X reference I remember.

What was the fan profile for this temp @btarunr ?

I'm wondering if it was turning at all!!

Completely stock, like every other reference board, it caps out at ~2,100 RPM. The case is fairly well-ventilated, and the room is air-conditioned.

well my etailer listed them in stock and ready and around 100chf cheaper than what my 1070 would had been priced if i had to buy it (reminder: it was a home insurance replacement) and, given what i play atm...

she would be a queen ....

heck it's even 400chf cheaper than the 2080 it's nearing (and about the same price reduction when it come to the Radeon VIII)

wait for aftermarket coolers.gottta say the availability for 5700xt is great since launch even here,where it was always bad for new radeon cards.it's just prices don't look that great.1850-1900pln for blower 5700xt,same for aftermarket 2060 super.Given the difference in performance is 4% which is pretty much covered with overclocking it looks pretty measly for the blower card.

Should of moved off the 1070 to the 1080 Ti when you had the chance. A least the mid-range cards finally caught up.

well for me it's 80-100chf less than a 2060 super, but yes, i would wait on aftermarket 5700 XT

but i am more eyeing on a
AOC
CQ32G1

and since it's also a freesync monitor it would be a perfect match :laugh:

my current 31,5" Medion Erazer x58222 is quite good still i am willing to pass it to my Kodi Box to fully replace my 32" Toshiba 1080pTV
although it would be going from a 5ms 75hz IPS to a 1ms 144hz VA

a 1080Ti is also ~ 350-400chf more :roll:

(when there is one in stock :laugh:

)

cucker tarlson · Jul 25, 2019

I'd be alarmed with a 6600k pushing a 5700xt on a 144hz display.

I was referring to when the 1080 Ti cost less in the past (2017) than it does now.

Yea that's odd, its been like that for a few months. The RTX 2080 Ti is not much more

Full rework of my main rig is on the way also

Specially since Intel f' ked up big time the microcode update on win10

R5 or R7 + a X470/570 is also in budget calculation

1080ti in 2017 were way out of reach already and priced as they are today or even worse.... I remember seeing some around 1000chf

Irrelevant for me... They always were overly expensive :laugh:

and 1000chf was already the norm in 2017.

Off Topic, but since your in Switzerland, a couple of weeks ago I seen a Swiss Drivers License, and Passport at work. I'm required by Alaska law to see ID's from everyone where I work. The guy understood what I was requesting but got agitated cause I was having trouble finding what it was until I flipped the ID over (on the passport.)
