lol, I think my 6800xt is being bottlenecked by my 10500ES

"bottlenecked by my 10500ES" not so much that it would matter a lot, yeah, if you aim for potentially getting 100% out of the card, true, but if you are getting 95% out of it already .... with possible exceptions of games that are coded for 8+ cores and run worse on 6, but those are very rare cases.
What is mostly holding your scores back is the 2400 Mhz core clock and 2040 mem clock, the 6800XT generally boost that much even with stock settings if it stays cool enough, you can try 2600 Mhz for core and 2090 for memory, and some conservative 1090mv for voltage, see how it goes and watch the temps. But to get to 20k graphic scores, you need soft power modding

And 18k graphics score for 2400 Mhz core and 2040 mem is not bad at all, its actually good .

I figured that the card is as average as average gets. At stock settings I get more or less what seems to be the standard score.

Stupid question though, does timespy still run at the 1440p stock even if my monitor is 1080p?

I would not make judgements on how good the card is before I try to push it to the limit At stock a 6800XT should be around 16500 in Timespy, you getting 18000 with a medium OC is pretty good.
As far as I remember, yes, Time Spy runs at 1440p if you don't manually select a custom resolution regardless of monitor resolution.

First score is stock.

I'll do further oc later

Just ordered the Gigabyte 6700 xt from newegg shuffle. should be arriving next week
planning on pairing it with a 5600x, any thoughts.

How much?

My thoughts are, enjoy it.

Its a good paring, you will most likely enjoy it

$749. Way too much. But every card on the market is way to much

yep, still can't believe I got my 6800 for $579 msrp. i probably won't get that lucky again for as long as i live.

the only place you can find msrp right now is on amd.com. but of course very hard to find one available , always sold out. I got 2 3070's on the evga queue, paid more than the original msrp but not a whole lot.

I got a few 3080's on queue at EVGA. I don't expect to get a notification till at least 2026.

believe it or not, in January i got 2 3070's off that queue

my buddy got a 3080 off the evga que, but he signed up like the day it was announced.

I have an odd issue.

So I have a gaming and mining profile in AMD software.

So I have been having a situation that I'll play a game then when I'm done, I load the mining profile and run nicehash. It will run fine for short bit then (it is normal at 61MHs) and then poof, it ramps up speed of fan. Then back down. But now my hash rates drop to 30MHs. I then close the mining. Load mining profile again and away I go. But now it ends up running hot and the fan curve profile refuses to work. Have to force a constant percentage which doesn't even reflect to reality (set it to 60% but it's actually running 80%).

I end up having to reboot the PC, load mining profile and run it. It works fine then.

But if I load the gaming profile, game, then load mining profile, I'll have problems again.

Is it just crappy bug in the profile/software?

why not just use msi afterburner and set a permanent fan speed?

 

[sepheronx]

Same result. 65% makes it run at 80%. Can't seem to figure out why.

After rebooting the PC though, the fan curve in AMD software started to work.

I'm thinking there may be a conflict going on between Afterburner and AMD software.

Could be a conflict, for the 1.5 months I had the original cooler on mine, fan profiles in wattman worked flawlessly while switching mining and gaming profiles. I would get rid of all third party software if you don't really need it\them.

I removed MSI Afterburner.

How do I add the FPS counter in the metrics overlay? I look it up but it seems to be on older software.

NVM, I am a dope. It auto does it for you.

You can use Rivatuner statistics server as standalone and it can show framerate during gaming.

Guru3D RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server Download 7.3.6 Final

Here you can download RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server. This is the official homepage for Rivatuner. Initially designed as a small helper application for RivaTuner graphics card utility, RivaTuner Statistics Server became de-facto framerate monitoring, On-Screen Display and high-performance...

www.guru3d.com

I use that along with HWiNFO. You can log the FPS from Rivatuner over HWiNFO if you want to generate data for example to calculate averages or make graphs.
With HWiNFO there is also possibility to make an overlay that displays FPS from Rivatuner as well as displaying other sensors like GPU power, Voltage, Temperatures, etc.

I also don't use Afterburner.
I do all the Ocing over the Radeon Software.
The Fan curve can be adjusted over there and you can create separate profiles for clock and fan curve depending on your application need.

Yea, I also use Rivatuner Statistics Server together with Hwinfo64, basically any sensor info Hwinfo64 has can be used for OSD with Rivatuner Statistics Server, but for simplish OSD the inbuilt Wattman stats are fine. Rivatuner does not interfere with anything, its just a tool to get the fanciest custom OSD possible.

Yeah, after uninstalling afterburner, the radeon software fan curve profile is now actually working. Wont rev up to the point my PC will take off (although, it will make my flight to India cheaper), and also, the profile manager structure is working now! So I can actually game, and then run the mining profile after i am done. So now, I can actually play heavily demanding titles on my RX 6800XT such as Octopath Traveler, Text Based Adventures and more!

I'll install Rivatuner statistics server. I got HWInfo as is. This ill do on my upcoming time off.

You also one of those who buys the latest and greatest GPU then proceeds to mostly play a lot of old games that don utilize 10% of the new hardware, like me?

Question for 6800XT owners:

I am trying to tune my GPU, to run always a minimum of 1800mhz for gaming (don't want to see the GPU to 1300mhz, cause I cap frame rate). I play 1080P @ 125fps to keep power for recording, which doesn'T seems to work because that damn Warzone still use alot of GPU (even with low details xD)

even with 80-90% usage, if I set my minimum clock to 1800mhz, the voltage is 0.891, but I think that sometimes cause freeze or reboot. if I set the GPU to normal, it goes A1! Voltage is set to 1150 in the software

Anyone have seen this?

At first glance, the voltage you use for 1800mhz is way to low (0.891), try it with something like 1030mv, see how it goes, if its not stable, raise it a bit, if its stable, lower it a bit until you get stable settings.
