ANY HELP HERE? my XFX RX 5700 XT is giving lower fps comparing to other cards (rx5700xt, rtx 2060 and gtx 1070 ) in games (bf1, bf4 and bf3) (also call of duty beta) 1080p with GPU down-clock itself to speed around 600-800mhz, and changing to low settings does not increase fps but reducing the clock speed of my GPU under 600mhz! ex: battlefield 1 1080p low -> 112 fps (on Ryzen 1600 and now Ryzen 3600) GPU clock speed (600 to 700 mhz) battlefield 1 1440p low -> 115 fps (on Ryzen 1600 and now Ryzen 3600) GPU clock speed (600 to 800 mhz) battlefield 1 4k low -> 125+ fps (on Ryzen 1600 and now Ryzen 3600) GPU clock speed 1700+ battlefield 1 4k mid-> 105 fps (3600 GPU clock speed 1700+) battlefield 1 4k high-> 90 fps (3600 GPU clock speed 1700+) battlefield 1 4k ultra-> 80 fp s with lots of stuttering (3600 GPU clock speed up to 1900+) IT IS NOT CPU BOTTLENECK CASE (i tested EVGA RTX 2060 on my pc (bf1 1080p all low) and it is giving more fps than my rx 5700xt, the evga card was able to hit 150 -160 fps with clock speed 1700+ ).

love my 5700XT and the performance out of this card is actually really good! the only issue i have with it from a person that owns it perspective is. the drivers just aren't there yet. I'm crashing on games that aren't crashing on my Nvidia card. which is why i never really sold it just in case! games like FFXV, Far Cry 5/New Dawn. Division 2 all have crashing issues with these cards that just need to be fixed. sucks i gotta revert back to Nvidia because the drivers are just. well they work lol! I do want the XT to be a good card and i am sure it will be in time. its lame a lot of games have issues just running when they don't with team green.

Has anyone had the chance to take a look at the Alphacool Eiswolf 240 GPX Pro AMD Radeon RX 5700/5700X full card AIO yet? I have a reference card as it was a good price to performance card for me, when it first launched, but the blower fan is insufferably loud. I have been looking around for a good hybrid solution when I stumbled upon the Alphacool Eiswolf. I know that Alphacool has a good reputation, but I haven't seen any reviews on it yet and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it?

It's pretty obvious that AMD (or Sapphire) engineers rushed out this pcb without removing all those debugging headers and switches. They are using only one type of VRM and controller just because they don't have enough time for coding and testing. There is another interesting design in reference PCB is the empty pads for USB-C and USB-PD power supply. I'm really curious about why AMD cancelled this at the last time.

I debated between liquid cooling the AMD rx 5700 xt 50th anniversary editon or the Asus Strix rx 5700 xt keeping it on air. Ended up with the Strix, I may of won the silicon lottery because it hits 2050+ mhz without manual oc with temps in high 60c. Also I don't know if it matters with gddr6 but the reference pcb has Samsung memory. Most all others are Micron including the Asus Strix.

Could it be that AMD overengineered this VRM in order to be future proof for an upcoming higher end GPU? Wasting money like this is not acceptable in any business. AMD did their BOM calculations and hypothetically it was cheaper to reuse the same components in both tiers of cards. I'm not sure what happened, I'm just trying to find the logic behind their decisions.

Hi. I managed to kill my card with water, it's acting now as if it's hasn't got the PCIE cables plugged in. If you possible know, where would be the best spot to start looking for dead components as unfortunately they all appear normal under a microscope, so some testing is going to be needed. Would around the IR357F be the best spot to start? Any fuses on the beasty?

Interesting how AMD's cheap blower design would lead to the ecosystem we have now; if you want a good air cooled card you can get a decent one for about 20 above MSRP, and if you're watercooling, you can buy the reference and it's one of the better ones electrically. I just never thought I would be glad AMD made a 400 blower card in 2019

Sounds like the card was developed for a higher performance than the 5700. One reference board for multiple levels of gpu. The cpu side has used the chiplets for both cpu and chipset so unified architecture maybe their focus. Unified architecture would be cheaper overall than having multiple cards for their each of their products.

Heh! Nice review! And nice vrm! Just wondering if amd would have used their Radeon7 cooler in here. that would have been one a heck Great reference card. Also heck expensive, so I can understand why They did not do it. really looking for good water cooled test of this card. So far not very good has been done.
