Flashing Radeon RX 5700 with RX 5700 XT BIOS: Guide & Performance

[Henselt33]

Not going to read that guide so you need to compare with original article i linked above yourself if you are unsure how to do it. It is very easy and straight forward. All you do is extract your bios (oc or silent), load that into MPTs and tweak the values you want. You then click on the write to registry button. No hand hussling in the registry involved. You can save your chosen modifications so you can easily load that file and reapply if need be. Not totally sure whether this needs to be reapplied after a driver update, but i don't think so. And you would notive anyway as soon as you look into Wattman.

BUT: in the end, when doing this on a 5700 non XT model, this is more helpful if you try to enhance its strength. From my experience; the non XT models don't have uber-duper chips and trying to squeece out 5-8% more performance comes a fairly high cost energy -and heat-wise. Even the XT models struggle here and i really feel you are getting a worse deal when pushing a non XT card. You can do it, and it is fun playing with this, but in the end you are likely running the card far away from its sweet-spot. 90% performance of a good XT card cool and quiet at 145-160 watts if you undervolt, or maybe 95% hot and louder with 180-200 with spike up to 220 watts. One can get lucky with the silicon so i guess playing around with this is a fun passtime.

But; the MPT allow at least for activating the Zero Fan mode inside Wattman. That alone is worth it, and this cannot be claimed to be necessarily the case when flashing a bios.

Thanks for that. The guide I linked similarly uses MorePowerTools but simply loads the bios of the XT card up into MPT and so the base 5700 takes on its characteristic (notwithstanding minor physical differences). You can then do any further OC as you wish, but have a good base.

 

[Henselt33]

I'd rather do it the other way around. Have all values that i don't want to alter stock and only change those that i am sure i want to tweak.

 

[rodrigobiz]

hi, I just buyed a gigabyte rx 5700 gaming oc, and I notice that the card only has one 8 pin, can I do the bios update?

 

[EdCorps]

I flashed my XFX 5700 reference to XT. It seemed to run great for a while, but then my computer restarted while playing a game. It doesn’t seem that heat is the issue. The computer has restarted several times now. I don’t seem to have the problem when I flash back to the normal bios. Could this be a bios issue, or is it possible that my PSU can’t handle the XT? I have a 600 watt PSU, I thought that would be fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts? I can’t believe I need more that 600 watts, perhaps PSU is not putting out the power it states?

I did several PSU calculators and my equipment never came in above 500 watts.
i5-9500f
MATX mobo
2x8gb ram @2666
1x2tb hdd
1xbluray dvdrw
1xWLAN pci e 1X
4 fans with Leds (including CPU cooler)
XFX 5700
I just don’t see how the XT would put me over 600 watts
It runs absolutely fine as XT bios until restart.
No errors, no blue screens can happen 1 min or 30 mins after I start playing a game.

Update: No one responded to me, I guess this article is getting old. But for the sake of any others who may think that this bios swap was causing my reset problem. I flashed back to the original bios and the problem actually occurred on the original bios as well. The resetting was the power supply. It was definitely defective and putting out well under the 600 watts, or perhaps could not sustain 600 watts continuously. Luckily this was a new build and I was still within the defective return window. I swapped the PSU out for a 650 watt EVGA GQ. I then swapped back to the RX 5700 XT bios. I have no problems. I did turn up the fans 5% at each interval and brought the max fan temperature down a bit to keep the card temperature down. So there is more heat and noise, but the card is apparently staying well within its heat threshold. I did not necessarily have to increase the fans, but I wasn't comfortable with the card constantly running at 84C. I'm still working around with a slight undervolt to see if I can get temperatures to stay under 80C, but I have not seen them exceed 82C so far with the fan speed increase. It is a bit more noise than I'd like, but its not terrible. I think I'm getting around an 7-8% overall increase. I have read that some have had luck with a slight undervolt with a and slight overclock that actually pushed their cards within 1% of a stock XT with lower heat than the reference XT, so I'm trying to tweak it toward that end.

hi, I just buyed a gigabyte rx 5700 gaming oc, and I notice that the card only has one 8 pin, can I do the bios update?

Probably, one 8 pin supposedly can provide up to 150 watts and you get 75 watts from your PCI-E slot. That's 225 watts. The card will use up to 200 watts if you do the bios swap and do not do any additional tweaking. You should have enough power. Although, you might be better off with MorePowerTools since you do not have a reference card. I think I would have gone that route if the reference card wasn't so easy to find the appropriate bios for.

 

[EdCorps]

Bad news for the bios update. Seems like it has Dx12 implications. Borderlands 3 seems to have hard coded the specs of the card and crashes in Dx12 when bios is flashed. Looks like more power tools is the best bet.

 

[Jo3yization]

@EdCorps Thanks for sharing your experience,, since I'm still waiting on my Arctic Xtreme to arrive I've been running an undervolt on the XT bios & its been rock stable, something you might want to try if you want better temps, though I'm still blasting the fans on my pulse cooler. Close to these clocks *should* be possible on the stock bios too, the only reason I didnt switch back is I plan to upgrade my cooler.
1900mhz @ 1010mV

I also noticed on the AMD Reddit, the majority of people having issues with XT performance have been on budget 650w PSUs or lower(the corsair VS650 in particular) & noted problems being fixed after PSU upgrades,, so I'm not too surprised, this test here includes the corsair VS650 & they specifically mention a PSU related bsod; https://www.pctekreviews.com/Reviews/PSU_600.aspx

I'll test borderlands 3 this evening though I did notice some articles stating issues with DX12 even without a bios flash.

Borderlands 3 immediately crashed in DX12 for me when I had my XFX 5700 reference card flashed to he XFX 5700 XT reference card. I did not think the bios flash could be the problem so I tried everything to get it to work. I looked at the logs though and I noticed that the cash exceptions seemed to be referencing the 5700 XT cores. So I flashed by to the RX 5700 and everything worked fine again. Borderlands booted in DX12. I'm now using MorePowerTool and I'm getting the same boost I was getting from the bios upgrade so really there's no difference other than I'll have to use MPT again when new drivers are released. Of course there is always the chance that AMD will find a way to block users from using MPT, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'll see if 1900 at 1010mv will work for me it would be nice to have a saved profile that runs cooler. Most games I play run 60 fps no problem so I don't always need the extra power. Right now I'm running 2006 at 1184mv and it's not getting 'too hot', it never throttles me, but its still hotter than I'd like.

Let me know your experience witht he Arctic Xtreme. I have considered getting it myself.

 

[Jo3yization]

Well, I tried looking up Borderlands 3 DX12 issues and plenty did pop up, to the point that DX12 seems to have been completely broken on release which has since been fixed through multiple updates, so it's *possible* that even on a full XT card the same issues may have still occured, since async compute support was one of the main features of running DX12, which seems to have been broken, it may have had issues trying to allocate resources for async compute either way.

Regardless, I tried running Borderlands 3 in DX12 with the XT bios, and it seems to boot up and run perfectly fine,, but I did notice extremely high vram usage(I game at 3440x1440 so fairly high usage is normal but the usage going over 5gb seems to result in very obvious periodic stutter when I attempted to record the game running fine in DX12, (it doesnt help that theres a bug with the RX 5700 series that causes incorrect vram usage readings, the usage may have in-fact been higher, since I would assume GPU encoding & vram usage should be fine up to 8gb not 5.

But at the very least I can confirm there's obvious bugs with DX12 and the game connected to vram, if I turned texture quality down to medium to lower the VRAM usage, I could record ReLive perfectly fine, I tried different combinations of settings to try and get the vram usage just under 5gb with high texture quality, but it seems the jump from med>high is very large on DX12, or there's a memory leak causing higher usage. But recording with medium texture quality was smooth as well as simply not recording allows me to turn all the quality right up, while the fps drops down under 60 on badass preset for example, it does not stutter unless recording.

Then I switched to DX11, which runs around 5-10fps lower but has MUCH lower vram usage, I was able to record on mostly ultra with medium reflections & volumetric smoothly, since the vram usage remained under 5gb.

Anyways just sharing since its interesting, the only other test I could do is under the stock RX 5700 bios to rule out a possible XT bios issue with relive recording at higher usage, though I fail to see how it would run fine under any other circumstance since they both have the same amount of vram & I can record in other games just fine with vram exceeding 5.8gb usage.

Here's a couple vids for reference:
DX11 -

DX12 -

I believe DX12 has a memory leak that's compounded when attempting to record & the memory usage may in-fact be sitting on 7.5gb+ or pushing the 8gb limit, which causes the ReLive encoder to fight with the game for vram.

I'm running 19.11.3 drivers, but there's been an ongoing known issue that 'Performance Metrics Overlay may report incorrect VRAM utilization. ' which still isnt fixed in 19.12.1.

What card to you have and what bios are you using? I know I tried everything. But, the game seems to be running just fine with the 5700 bios. I haven't noticed any issues at all in DX12 so far. Though I know it has a lot of bugs.

 

[hayden77]

It’s interesting this reflashing lark, seems to divide people from being the greatest wheeze to the pointless, heat and noise and potentially brick inducing waste of time. I am going to try and use the Power Mgr Tools to utilise stock XT settings but undervolt as far as possible to minimise noise, hopefully a happy medium. Anyone else been successful in this respect?

 

[Jo3yization]

@EdCorps Sapphire Pulse to Pulse XT bios. The main bug I described is only to do with ReLive at a high ultrawide resolution with high/ultra textures though, the game runs fine in DX12 otherwise.

Incidentally, I just cleaned out my drivers with DDU & flipped my bios switch back to the stock OC RX5700 bios to see if the Relive recording issue still occurs, I've already set the MorePower5700 SPPT & replicated my original undervolt @ 1900mhz//1010mV, the stock power curve at 1900mhz wanted 1104mV for reference. I guess the SPP tables are a safer route for most people as long as their registry entries are correct before applying them,, even with the RX5700 as the only driver, it defaulted to 0001 not 0000 for me.

One nice thing about the SPP tables is our vbios in GPU-Z reports 'RX 5700' accurately as well as GPU reporting in software like heaven benchmark, with the XT bios it was obviously showing up as an XT GPU which bothered me a little, even if the lower amount of compute cores was reporting correctly I did always wonder if it might cause issues in games highly optimized to use all cores on the XT /w async compute, or if the fact the vbios itself reported the correct amount of 'fewer' cores meant it didnt matter. It did seem to run fine with the XT bios in every game I tested though.

@hayden77 The MPT method using XT clocking limits should result in virtually the same results as a vbios flash + undervolt, with the main factor being quality for the individual GPU being used. I just switched my flashed RX 5700 pulse back to stock & tried the same undervolt settings & they work perfectly fine though they may not work for everyone depending on case temps//GPU Binning quality & how hard they run their fans.

They are just different methods to achieve the same results, though I'll definitely recommend for anyone reading this to avoid bios flashing & just go the Power Tools or SPPT method especially if you own a powercolor model, as there are reports of the bios flash getting 'locked' to the XT bios & unable to flash back easily if at all.

*Edit* Just adding that Borderlands 3 in DX12 has the same stutter & high vram usage even with stock RX 5700 bios, so the XT bios wasnt causing any issues as far as I can tell, at least with the Sapphire pulse.

I definitely was not able to even open Borderlands 3 in DX12 with the XT bios, perhaps it was because the bios I was using was the reference AMD bios. It would open fine in DX11, but not in 12. I guess it doesn't matter because DX12 is now freezing on me so I'm playing the game in DX11 regardless. It seems like 1900mhz @ 1010mv works fine for me in Heaven, but in game it caused some freezing. I had to raise it a little to 1032mv (though I haven't played with it much) to have that stability in game. I have another profile saved for 2000mhz at 1123mv that seems to be perfectly stable with temps reaching 81C (a little high but not bad). I raised all the stock fan levels by 4%. I think that's the max I want to push it with the reference cooler.

 

[Jo3yization]

@EdCorps Nice,, I can play DX12 stable but only if I dont record, even running at stock doesnt help so it appears to be a high vram usage + encoder issue, at least in my case with Ultrawide 3440x1440, so I had to drop back to DX11 to record smoothly with ReLive.

The FPS difference running Full Ultra, med material quality, high draw distance & med Volumetric/SSR between DX12 vs DX11 was 75.02fps vs 66.05, but worth it considering there's zero microstutter or latency spikes, while even without recording in DX12 there's a noticable stutter 1-2 times in the benchmark regardless of Overclocking or settings.

Turning Resolution scale to 75%(2580x1080), textures down to high with x8 Anisotropic and Ultra draw distance to eliminate pop-in gets me upto 83fps with virtually the same visual quality too so with either of the above settings as a reference, Borderlands 3 should be a breeze for the 5700 even at stock for just 60fps on <1440p. Just make sure volumetric on Medium since its such a huge fps hit for virtually no visual improvement.

I'll post here again once the Xtreme IV arrives(hopefully any day now) & share the results

 

[korzychxp]

Hi guys. Can anyone test AC Origins with you flashed 5700 to XT on 1080p and other ultra? I have only 76 fps on that settings and my 1080 GTX non overclocked gave 79 fps...

 

[Jo3yization]

@korzychxp Dont have origins but did test Odyssey at 3440x1440, so I'd assume 1080p would run pretty good.

 

[pomawka881]

Add information that it will be impossible to go back to the stock BIOS on PowerColor video cards!!!

 

[EdCorps]

For those with reference cards, I'm very happy with a combination of 1926mhz @ 1079mv. With stock fans my highest temperature with this combination has been 79C, but most of the time the card is running at 76C in demanding games. However this is still a 10% boost over the stock frequencies. The RX 5700 XT is realistically about 20% faster than the RX 5700 stock, and you are cutting that lead in half with hardly any increase to temperature and noise. I got my RX 5700 for $290.00 so I'm very pleased to be just 10% under $400 graphics cards (and minus ray tracing, this should be on par with the 2060 Super also $400).

1980mhz @ 1124mv has proven to be a good combo for me if you don't mind turning up the fans 5% and having max temperatures around 82C. (With this combo the stock XT only has about a 6% advantage and you are still staying cooler than the XT, with a little more noise though).

2052mhz @ 1184mv is another stable combination that I found, but this comes with the price of a lot more heat and noise. If you want to all but eliminate the stock XT advantage this is the way to go, but you're going to have a very noisy and hot card. I'd avoid this with the reference cooler, but for those of you with better coolers, this might work for you. I was running an 8% increase to to the fan and had max temps around 86C.

These are all in game temps playing The Outer Worlds and Borderlands 3 Ultra settings @ 1440p, with no frame rate limits. I noticed cooler temps in Heaven than I was getting in game so I recorded temperatures in game for at least 30 minute sessions. These combinations seemed to be free of freezing and micro stuttering for my game play sessions.

I mentioned it in post #113 but should have put it in bold sorry, avoid bios flashing & just go the Power Tools or SPPT method especially if you own a POWERCOLOR model, as there are reports of the bios flash getting 'locked' to the XT bios & unable to flash back easily if at all.

I believe there is a method to 'unlock' the powercolor for flashback somewhere online, but if you are stuck and want a quick fix, simply undervolt to RX 5700 speeds & save a profile in wattman until you can find it. 1800mhz @ 1.050v looks like the higher end of the powercolor red dragon boost, while the red devil uses 1850mhz.

If you have a powercolor RX5700 and do get bios 'write locked' try reading back earlier in this thread; https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-5700-xt-bios-guide-performance.259945/page-4

Thanks! I did just that. Set the limit in Wattman 1925@1,025 V. it Turned out quiet and productive.

No, I get the "BIOS not erased" error. Better perhaps so. Otherwise, the consequences could be worse.

The Xtreme IV finally arrived, I have an installation vid but that'll take awhile to get up., I was actually expecting some smaller heatsinks for the VRAM in the mail but they havent arrived yet & I'm impatient, so here's some early max core OC benchmarks with mem at stock. I think some active cooling over the backplate would work wonders, the problem is getting a fan that can fit at the angle of the fins since its right up against the CPU cooler. Maybe an antec spotcool.

I dont plan to game at this speed until I get the vram sorted though. around 2000 (1900-1950 actual) seems more reasonable for the moment;

Who has the RX 5700 or XT version with the original BIOS. Show a scan of the MorePowerTool program, please. How do you register a video card? On one or two lines?
