Im fine with that.

Not sure if the chip will handle it.

Here's 225w MPT with default clocks.

Crashed pretty hard, the driver is lost. It doesn't even know what happened to it's self....

HAHAHAHA - Like literally just now happened.

That warning=Check that you blocked Windows Update from installing drivers. Windows 10 and 11 are sneaky.

Ah yes, Windows Update moment. I hate it, why does it only do it to AMD drivers lol

Windows update is completely disabled.

Did a "repair" and it notified me the driver crashed, the recovery method is to re-install the driver.

2750 seems to be the top clocks the card will produce under any circumstance so far.

Back up and running, I'll just max all the sliders and bench it.

Will have to try gentle uplift to wattage limit, see if I can sneek up to maybe 210-220w without the driver wigging out.

When it does this I go to device manager and re-enable the GPU, then it works fine. Haven't seen WU replace it before though.

Also the 6700XT isn't /in paper/ much better than the 6700 10GB, but somehow games run a LOT better in the 6700XT. Weird stuff
That's why you're not seeing all that much difference in benchmark. One benchmark that should run a lot better in the XT is Unigine Superposition, you should see 6500~6900.

Well, I'm messing with Legacy benchmarking right now. So not much for TimeSpy except that I will run that one also.

All the way back to 3DMark01SE, and was able to increase the score by 4000 points by enabling Super Resolution and turning up the Sharpness to 80. It seems like the GPU like this approach, clocks where hitting 2770 close to sustained. V-core stayed at reported 1.20v during the run.

Gpu temp hot spot hit 59c but with only a max core load of 46%. The clocks sustained at 2770mhz is what I need/want despite the usage. Without Super Res, the clocks seem to go all over the place.

I never had that happen. It would be a driver timeout instead or just a solid freeze.

I think it happens with Nvidia as well.

NV depends how hard you push. But usually near edge stability, the driver will recover its self.

Twice now.

The driver gets destroyed and needs a reinstall.

No artifacts, just frame drops or micro freeze. It locks up and the system stops responding. I don't wait, just hit restart. Reinstalled the driver and its fixed.

I'm on windows 10, 21H not 22H.

Yeaah, AMD drivers tend to crash hella hard. Kind of an annoyance.

Is what it is. Seems like there's high and low bin 6700 xt cards if some out of the box can do 2900mhz. This one seems ok to about 2750 and if I ask more, it simply doesn't like it.

8% OC is the edge of this one. I was hoping for better.

Same story here. XFX Speedster SWFT in my case. 2765 (per Wattman) is the highest stable clock in my video card despite messing up with MPT and whatnot. The card simply doesn't try compensating this by raising its TGP always sitting cca 190 W even though I allowed it for 244 W usage.

Same card here, the heat sink is way overkill for these low numbers.

I mean, 107%, I'll take it, but increasing the wattage doesn't seem neccessary. Infact trying an under-volt does nothing because I don't have a thermal issue....

I'm trying to figure out, is it the driver... or the bios, perhaps both. Not sure.

Tried raising the Current (amps) along with the wattage increase, also a driver dismemberment. Aggravating as F having to reinstall the driver every time it locks the PC up.

So, right now I'm DL'ing W11 and want to see if the driver is a bit more stable. Gonna just use build 22H2 and throw it at the wind. See how it splatters.

 

[Macro Device]

because I don't have a thermal issue

And I do. My thermal paste is so lame I need to replace it ASAP. Hotspot beyond 200F errytime I'm tryna run something more than 2500 MHz (considering I preserve acoustic comfort).

Ordered some wares, will improve my cooling solution but it alone won't help me push beyond 2800 MHz. I also need to learn on why it denies running above 190 W even despite allowed for it. nVidia is more predictable in this part of the game.

@Kodehawa was kind enough to inform me that certain benchmarks and games will bring the card up to its ppt max, like 3Dmark TimeSpy for example.

My +15% goes to about 203w, but the default is much lower. Where the Gigabyte cards are going 225w and 2900mhz.

Thus my thought is XFX has got lower bin chips that just can't quite cut the mustard for higher wattage and clocks without leaving the 1.2 vcore area.

Since our cooling situations are different, but results are the same, shitty binned cards. A 6700 non xt is about the same performance, maybe at best 5% slower. I won't know until I've run all the numbers, but so far that's what it looks like.

3Dmark TimeSpy

Searched for it and ended up knowing it's prolly only available on Steam. Sheesh, I don't wanna recover my everabandonned account.

Disregard it, found that software on TPU.

I have 3dmark on steam.
Can always try Unigine Superposition too. That should get the card working hard. 8k optimized!

 

[Macro Device]

3dmark

This is what I got. VC really got pushed beyond 190 W, the maximum TGP I ever witnessed is 212 W.

Cyberpunk2077 makes less sense now...

Lol exactly!!
So I mean that's it. Improve your thermals, the scores and fps won't really " get better" from it. 12k to 14k range, probably is the difference from your 11700k to my 13700k. But I don't see the cpu in your system as a major bottleneck though. This depends on the games and resolution. I run 1080P.

 

[Macro Device]

your 11700k

My CPU is a handicapped version of 11700K. 4100 MHz is the best it can do. And memory frequency is limited to 3200 MHz no matter what mobo I use.

That's why my CPU might be a bottleneck in 1080p but I'm running 4K, that's the field where even the 4090 ain't no nuff.

the scores and fps won't really " get better" from it

I'm currently running 85% potential because of thermals. These 15% make difference for me.

Nice. I got the card for experimental purposes. Pass through about 30 benchmarks with it at stable clocks and make a list of scores.

I can produce a list currently with most benchmarks
MSI RX 6500 XT
XFX RX 6600
XFX RX 6700
XFX RX 6700 XT (running now)

Probably the bigger cards down the road yet.

Hi, officialy in da club !

Made some bench with Shadow of the Tomb Raider
( i7 7700K / 6750XT everything stock )
Here there are, resolution 3440x1440 :

1st pass : NO V-SYNC : CPU avg : 129 / GPU avg : 87
CPU T° : 69°C / max GPU T° : 73°C / hotspot max T° : 98°C

2nd pass : V-SYNC 60 Hz : CPU avg : 125 / GPU avg : 84
CPU T° : 66°C / max GPU T° : 70°C / hotspot max T° : 90°C

Here's the trick : i've realized the 3rd fan wasn't spinning ... I've badly positioned the vertical card holder, so the fans was literraly blocked ...

3rd pass : V-SYNC 60 Hz / 3 fans : CPU avg : 125 / GPU avg : 84
CPU T° : 69°C / max GPU T° : 59°C / hotspot max T° : 81°C
big drop in T° !

So far so good, that's what i wanted, good perfs in V-Sync, goods T° and silence ...

 

[Macro Device]

6750XT everything stock

What make? What clocks?

 

[KrazyT]

Gigabyte 6750XT Aorus Elite
Given by GPU-Z :
GPU clock : 2554 MHz / Memory 2248 MHz / Boost : 2623 Mhz

 

[Macro Device]

GPU clock : 2554 MHz / Memory 2248 MHz / Boost : 2623 Mhz

The only difference from my card is mem speed. Got an 6700 XT here, not 6750.

Yeaah, AMD drivers tend to crash hella hard. Kind of an annoyance.

Yes, now on W11, it crashes and disabled the card. W10 did not disable the card. Even more switches to flip, I reinstalled the driver and now will clear the shader cache before each benchmark too. See if that helps any...

I've had no issues with AMD drivers except for the long awaited release for drivers. The only thing I got was lower FPS on Warzone 2.0. Then the next release of updates fixed that. So far have had now problems with AMD drivers.
