My 980gtx lasted 8 years until I sold it on eBay last year.
In my 2nd (3dvision) gaming rig I still have the 1080-ti gtx running strong on Windows 7 but Steam already notified me it will stop support Wins 7 at the end of 2023.
The RD I had could very well be a lemon.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention. The fan curve definitely plays a huge play in taming the temps with the price of noise.
Asrock, and Powercolor (red Devil) were the only two variants that I used and returned. I am running the Hellhound version right now in my rig. The trick that I use is that every time I start the game for the first time I watch the junction temps very carefully. If it goes beyond 90c the I start...
For the most parts the card plays my games at the highest levels possible with the exception of the MSFS2020 and Cyber2077 (no other gpus could afaik).
My most concern is the AMD driver should be able to contain the junction temps of the card. I've yet changed to at least several 7900xtx cards...
It seems like the last few drivers have done nothing but tweaking for the new games.
All the known/existing issues stay exactly the same for a while now.
Otherwise it is pointless to upgrade unless you play the new game(s), IMO.
"High idle power has situationally been observed when using select high-resolution and high refresh rate displays on Radeon™ RX 7000 series GPUs"
I definitely have seen this in my 7900xtx or ~50w-60w at idle and with 5k display and 240hz refresh.
I did some research that Radeon Chill when "on" does cap the frame rate thus saving power.
This is what some of my extensive power hog games like MSFS or DCS are which is fine by me since the hot season is upon us (hint: Texas)
It seems like most of my games are locked in at 75fps or lower in the last few drivers including the latest one.
My ultrawide Samsung monitor has 240 refresh rate with free-sync compatible.
Does anyone have a hint?
Lack of VRAM which causes stutter when you play flight sim games (DCS or MSFS) or some of the newer games like Last of Us.
The 7900 xtx has had no issue with that kind of game whatsover.
In DCS it draws close to 20gb on certain game scenarios.
In MSFS it draws a bit less than DCS.
In VR it draws...
Having owned the7900xtx for a spread of over two months now I have to say these are great high end cards for the value/money in comparison the competitor.
It took a bit to learn how to get around and tweaks the settings for each of game I play but at the end it's all worth it.
I think it's a...
Is it the Global settings?
I've had the card over a month now so I am gaining experience as I go along.
I have similar settings like what the previous poster did for my global settings.
For game specific I tailor each game settings as I look at my fps and junction temps.
Junction temps were and...
I have not done anything fancy just yet as far as oc my 7900xtx and I intend not to either.
The Adrenaline software looks like it was developed in 21st century whereas where I was from (NVIDIA). Its software looks like it came from Win 97.
Anyone here playing Last of Us P1? The game has been bombarded with negative review on Steam.
I just d/l the game yesterday and with the latest driver. It runs like a dream. Mostly high 80fps with very high settings and best yet @ very low junction temp (80c) LOL.
