Info Radeon VII owners/buyers thread

Hmm. Very curious to see how well the 5700XT performs and overclocks and how it affects Radeon VII pricing (new and used). I wouldn't be surprised if the card isn't EOL yet because they didn't sell as many as they needed to clear stock. Off-Topic: Finally got my situation sorted with Alphacool...

Alphacool Eiswolf Update On May 13th, I received an email from Alphacool support informing me of the possibility that my Eiswolf AIO for my Radeon VII may be defective. I was already aware of this because of a thread on Reddit and I'm assuming that the email was just a blanket email sent to...

A much better result! Glad we got that sorted. As for the crashing, I haven't been able to play a whole lot since the patch because I'm on vacation, but I've found that The Division 2 is extremely sensitive to overclocks and memory instability. I've had to bump the core voltage on my GPU up...

Definitely make sure you're running DX12, I don't remember if it's enabled by default but my gut says no. It's definitely good for at least a 10 FPS boost in the benchmark (and more in-game, beleive it or not). The 79 FPS I got was with the stock cooler. The Division does seem to be a bit of a...

Hmm. That seems quite low, tbh. Are you using DX12? My 2600X/Radevon VII at stock settings achieved 79 FPS Average in the same benchmark at the same resolution. CPU Usage was 48%. And that was with the old drivers (19.4.3).

Yeah, that Enermax ordeal is pretty wild. The built-in benchmark is in the Settings menu on the main screen when you first fire up the game. Settings, then scroll down to "Benchmark". Gives you some decent statistics, graphs, even gives you a score. Also generates a CSV and a screenshot in your...

Sorry for the double post, but it's been a few days. Installed 19.5.1 Today. People are reporting performance gains in several games. Fired up The Division 2 and got 4-5 average FPS higher than 19.4.3 in the built-in benchmark (1440p max settings). I'll take it! Additionally, I've received a...

I'm really hoping for a driver release closer to when Navi launches that boosts performance and smooths out the overall driver experience right now. My main issue is random screen flickering that happens sporadically. They've acknowledged it but it's gone unfixed for several releases now. That...

Hmmm. That is pretty low. Seems like ~7900 should be what you're getting with stock settings. The only other thing I can think of doing at this point is updating the VBIOS on your card if you haven't already. I'm not sure if more recently manufactured cards have the updated VBIOS, I'm assuming...

I'm not too familiar with the X399 platform and don't have much experience with Threadripper in general, but my gut tells me to perhaps check your PCI-E Link speed and ensure it's at 3.0 and 16x. Perhaps some kind of weird lane sharing issue? Mind downloading Superposition Benchmark and seeing...

Yeah, I fired up the The Division 2 code the day the game was released. Played nearly 100 hours so far. I noticed the same core clock behavior, and I thought it was actually contributing to crashing for a bit, but it turned out to be something else hardware related. I settled on the daily...

Got my Eiswolf 240 installed today. The difference in temperatures are fantastic. I haven't had a lot of time to game extensively with it installed yet, but so far after running some preliminary benchmarks, things are looking really good. Former Daily OC/UV settings: 1825 MHz @ 990 mV -- Max...

Nope. Just like when I bought an Eiswolf for my Vega 56, it was so early, I was kind of flying into uncharted territory. I just knew it couldn't be any worse than the stock reference cooler. My overclocked Vega 56 rarely exceeded 55°C while drawing ~280W. And that was with the radiator at the...

Potential bad news for some of you waiting for an Alphacool Eiswolf release. Apparently, according to another user who has contacted Alphacool, an Eiswolf for the Radeon VII won't be released for another 2-3 months. This is contrary to the information that I received at the end of March stating...
