What resolution you others use when playing games? I'm surprised how fine this runs games @ 4K60.

I do 1080p on my relatively cheap 27" 4K@60Hz but I have a new rx6700 xt card now so I might try something new.

Yeah, depends of the game. These have weak raytracing performance but personally I don't even care about that.

InhaleOblivion reporting for duty. Just upgraded to this wonderful card 6750XT last week. Though I've been having fun with my 5700XT that I moved over to my Linux build too. Mesa drivers are better than I expected coming from a RTX 1070 FE.

It does...holy smokes. Some screen shots below with AMD overlay stats. I'm sure 144Hz gamers are going to say hold my beer at these screenshots.

After punishing my PC for several hours trying to get Horizon Zero Dawn stutter free again I realized the game was defaulting to borderless instead of full screen.
Once I got past that I jacked up the quality to max. With a bit of tweaking the frame rate can probably be improved a bit more for consistency.

4K didn't quite cut the mustard for being totally stutter free but is probably very playable.

440p did much better staying above 60 fps.

Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeros (set to 4K but that didn't take, my monitor said it only actually switched to 1440p)
This time I check and stupid borderless full screen seemed to be the default and I switched it to full screen.
Full graphics, butter smooth gameplay.

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain
Same but it did run at 4K. Full graphics, butter smooth gameplay.

Death Stranding
4K. Full graphics, butter smooth gameplay.

I can't imagine MGSV possibly challenging a 6700XT on any resolution though. That game already ran maxed out 1440p/60 on my R390 back in the day ^^
Decima engine stuff also runs great considering it's made for AMD console hardware.
Actually most modern engines tend to run great on AMD.
It's mostly UE4 (the Achilles heel), RED, Northlight, and whatever The Plague Tale games are made on, that can cause a 6700XT to struggle.

I forgot how old MGSV was. I feel old now. (stamina meter decreases by %2)

Crysis Remaster downloading. I'll report later how it runs at 4K.

And it runs surprisingly fine with these settings.

The machine just crashed but I guess that it's because I raised the GPU clock range from 2550-2650 to 2600-2700 and it crashed due youtube's GPU acceleration. I guess I've hit the limit with 1100mV.

 

[GamerGuy]

It does seem kinda silly. I'm waiting for some more reliable data before worrying about it too much. A sample size of 1 repair shop isn't enough to send me into a panic.
For all we know these GPU's could have come out of Hillary's email server (bleachbit and hammers)

I'd posted this on the RX 6000 owners' club thread, so I'm posting this here. The driver has nothing to do with what had happened to the cards, most likely modded BIOS (my theory) and bad storage as posited by the same repair guy (Kris). Pretty obvious they were bought from a shady source since many did not have the invoice needed for RMA.

I laughed so hard when I saw that it took him 150 hours to reach a conclusion that took me and everyone else who used occam's razor a couple of seconds lol

At least they got a solution. 150 hours intro that sounds a low to my ears after all.

I had also stated my take on this non-issue...like any thinking person, the fact that he'd collected the cards for repair from his area, and none elsewhere, was highly suspect.

The RX 6000 series Owners' Club

I found this channel (Ancient Gameplays) on YouTube, and he seems to have more on how to fix issues with AMD drivers then with any other brand. Here is his latest video with 15 tips on how to fix the most common issues, like using AMD's driver uninstall tool before you install newer drivers...

You mean INST? He's living near to me :3

Yeah but the solution had nothing to do with the 150 hours of work - these were all for naught. It's just that at some point they finally thought to contact back all people who submitted the cards and trace where these came from. And again this should have been obvious from the very beginning. As someone who does research IRL looking at the data they had and suggesting that the drivers are the cause was just really infuriating to me xD

I get you. Yet still it's good to get things working.

Actually it's not just 6800 and up with issues but okay.

What issues? I have a 6750 XT and a 6500 XT and both are perfectly fine.

I think that was about the stupid story with the cracked GPUs, which were all 6800/6900XTs.

By the way, if anyone is looking for games that can make 6700XT struggle at 1440p, Dead Space remake & Hogwart's Legacy both seem pretty taxing on the hardware. Haven't tried either yet tho...

Ah, that! I don't know how experienced tech people could believe that a GPU driver was capable of doing such damage.

I haven't tried them, yet, but I definitely will. Just waiting for a discount on both.

I play at 4K without hiccups :'D

Haven't tried those yet though

 

[Ruru]

Just realized that using the upper M.2 slot halves the card's bandwith to x8. Yet no difference in 3DMark 3.0 x16 vs 3.0 x8 (as I have a X470 board so no 4.0 for SSD or GPU).

As a 6700 user, I wonder how many of us exist here.

Weird how late that was released (at least to the consumer market). Never even knew that it exists before I saw Steve's video of it (I have the XT version of this card)

Here in Finland there's only Sapphire's Pulse cards of RX 6700

Yep. It's a late card, and very much one that sadly not many people have.
Few tips if anyone has one: put power limit to +15%, stock on my card is 138W, which is hilariously low.
You can max out the frequency and memory slider on MOST cards. 2700 should be achievable on all according to what I've collected so far.

Yup, I use these settings.

XT power limit is definitely more reasonable at stock, that's for sure.

Seems like the PowerColor card also has a reasonable stock power limit. XFX set it to 138W which is stupid lol. It's made worse by the fact its a 3 slot cooler with TWO 8 pin connectors. Man.

+15% is 158W which to be fair is about all you need, but there's always MPT.

If you wanna look up when it actually appeared, you can look up "Nashira Summit". They just pushed it to the consumer market a full year and change later. Weird.

HWInfo64 actually identifies it as Nashira Summit too.
