Undervolted Radeon RX 7800 XT Gets Closer to GeForce RTX 4070 Efficiency Levels

[las]

Nice but 4070 can be undervolted as well.

Comparing an undervolted card to a different stock card seems kind of weird. My undervolted 4070 is peaking at ~150 W, and most of the time it's 100-120 W when playing with a capped framerate.

Everything for clicks, I don't even get why TPU keeps posting this other than for ad revenue

Fcking sheep behaviour. And that includes even watching a video where some lowlife shows you how to drag a few sliders to the left. Everything about it just breathes incapability and apathy.

Shows how the cards are push now, which both good and bad as you get max performance without requiring OC, but hardware consumes a lot for little performance improvement.

We ought to have eco mode like with Ryzens for GPUs. I haven't used AMD GPUs in a couple of years so note sure if such thing exists, but on nVidia haven't seen an option for that.

Well, the opening article shows that you actually can.

This stands if Ada is not undervolted... Ada can also be undervolted, too. I mean it's inferior from the start.

I am not sure that they can't at least try to fix the issues with another revision of the silicon,

I'd say it's better for them to abondon RDNA 3 straight away and move on to a proper next gen. Repairing jobs couldn't help much.

Adjustable power limits have been a part of AMD's control panel for a long time. It was introduced with the HD 6970 in late 2010. With the release of Vega, they added presets such as Power Saver and Turbo, but still allowed manual adjustment of power limits.

As said above, the option exists:

Also, check my post above with my 3DMark results... you lose 2.3% performance with a -10% power limit adjustment.

They already have. There are no more RDNA 3 chips coming - maybe just more SKUs based on existing chips.

I was every bit as skeptical as you, if you experience DLSS-G (at least with DLAA preset F applied, so native resolution without upscaling), I promise you can't tell the difference, even if you're sensitive to motion. and I am.

Hard disagree from me I'm afraid, I tried FG on CP2077 & Witcher 3, & absolutely hated it! Specifically for the scenario of doubling an unacceptable frame rate that is. Sure it looks visually smoother, but it still feels unacceptable. I get that weird jelly controls feeling due to the input lag still being too high, higher vs the original frame rate even! It's really interesting how it's so subjective, like high refresh it's really something you have to try for yourself before you can know whether it's something you care about & want or not.

I'd be interested to know if turning down the settings to get the same frame rate as FG feels any different for you? Doing that there was no question for me that I prefer the lower visual settings with better responsiveness.

Try it on Starfield. Works amazing.

I can't see why it would be any different in Starfield over those other two, but it's on Game Pass so why not! I'll report back, but I'm away this weekend so won't be until next week
