AMD RX 9070 XT & RX 9070 non-XT thread (OC, undervolt, benchmarks, ...)

[LittleBro]

Please, share your experience with your RX 9070 (XT) GPU in this thread.

Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?
Post your benchmark results, OC and/or undervolt results. What tool did you use?
How do you feel about your purchase?

Thank you for your contribution.

Overclock is dead.
We have something new that can be called optimization, so you can optimize the voltage relative to the current workload, and this will reduce the power consumption, which is limited at the bios level, so the card can get a few percent increase in MHz.
There are profiles so you can create one for each application to work as faster or efficient as you wish.

Well, that sucks.

What about extreme undervolt, then?

I noticed that power limiter on most 9070XTs only goes down to around 30%. Question is, what if someone wants to reduce power consumption by ~50% or so?

Are they out of luck?

You should still be able to use lower clock speed (with voltage offset of course) to achieve this. Assuming those sliders go low enough. I find I generally like to target an efficient voltage like 0.90V or 0.80V and let the power (and to a lesser extent core clock) fluctuate as needed by the game load. All this in combination with VSync matched to game type. For me power management is half the fun of playing games.

Could you please post your power scaling results, I would like to add them to my graph and post it. You can use e.g. 3DMark or any benchmark that utilizes the GPU fully. Simply run 3DMark with 100% power and note the score, then at 95% power and note the score, and so on until the lowest possible power level.

I run my 4070 at -45% power (high efficiency is nice too after testing).
