I'm using rx 5700xt reference / sapphire pulse xt

Never had soo much headache before. Used a rx580 before this and I never had this much bsod/crashes/laggy chrome video playback

Thought I had a bad gpu. Sold off the reference card at a loss. Bought a brand new sapphire pulse xt. Same issue. Did a ddu format etc etc.

Figured it was a driver issue. Tried 19.7.5 and it has been rock solid

TL:DR - amd drivers are crap. If you're using rx5700 xt. Do yourself a favor and just stay at 19.7.5

Did you disable hardware acceleration? Mine is working perfectly on 19.8.1 - even 8K30 YouTube videos worked perfectly on Chrome icon_idea.gif

May i know why u rate Asus the lowest?
I’m considering to purchase between powercolor red devil and asus strix

Asus - too expensive and they tend to reuse coolers from their nVidia cards (which lead to issues like improper contact) icon_idea.gif

https://www.techpowerup.com/258074/asus-rog...ailed-some-more

The only commendable thing about the ASUS is that the PCB/power delivery is massively overengineered icon_idea.gif

Gigabyte is not known for their good AMD cards, however (although some reviews seem to suggest otherwise)

Powercolor is one of the best AMD AIBs around (on par with Sapphire/XFX) and there are lots of reviews that proves that the Red Devil has one of the best coolers around. Just like Sapphire, their cards tend to be priced cheaper than big name brands such as ASUS icon_idea.gif

Price different between XFX THICC 2 and Powercolor Red Devil isn't much. However I like how clean the XFX's look.

And also dat name laugh.gif

Unfortunately it's a hot and loud card (which is disappointing considering how XFX used to make really good cards) sweat.gif

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-rade...hicc-ii/31.html

On an unrelated note - it looks like the Red Devil has a new competitor? (MSI's 5700 XT Gaming X)

Don't get the Asus TUF 5700 XT, looks like cooling is poorly designed.

It's ASUS, what do you expect? laugh.gif

ASUS has never designed a proper AMD card for a long time - not to mention that ASUS cards are overpriced as well too icon_idea.gif

Might as just well get the Gigabyte card (Gigabyte usually don't do decent AMD cards but their 5700/5700XT Gaming OC is a notable exception) icon_idea.gif

Apparently the 5500XT's PCI-E x8 interface severely bottlenecks the card sweat.gif

I just got my hands on a RX 590 not knowing that my PSU is unable to handle the PCI-E connector needed to handle this GPU. This GPU comes with a 8+6 connector.

I have looked around at a few PSU. The one that I’m keen to get is Corsair CX550M. It comes with 2nos 6+2 PCI-E connectors.

My question is, is it correct (and safe) to connect 1nos 6+2 to the 8 on the GPU and 1nos 6 to the 6 on the GPU? Appreciate the enlightenment.

Yup - this is what I've done to connect my 5700 XT with my Seasonic PSU icon_idea.gif

Most PSU power connectors can be only be fitted in one direction so you cannot plug the wrong connector by accident (unless the connector is connected by force) icon_idea.gif

True but still the cheapest 8 gigs model should be around 990, the pulse. Still not worth it as with the same price, 1660 Super delivers better performance. Only 5500 xt that makes sense is the 4 gigs model with the US msrp.

Actually the problem is that unless you pair it to a X570 board the RX5500/XT will get bottlenecked by the PCI-E link sweat.gif

Never heard of Resource monitor until you mentioned.

Judging by the looks of it, should be no bottleneck problem right?

IINM there's nothing you can do with it due to the fact that iPhone videos are encoded in HEVC, and the hardware needed (at least on AMD) is their Carrizo APUs, or above
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficien...deo_Coding#2016

You need a HEVC capable GPU to decode them without brute forcing with your CPU icon_idea.gif

I believe your GPU was released in 2012 so your GPU may not be able to decode HEVC videos icon_idea.gif

P.S. Windows 7 is ending support in a few days - please upgrade to Windows 10 ASAP as certain applications may no longer update and work in the future (along with driver and security updates) icon_idea.gif

Anyone having black screen (monitor no signal) issues on Monster Hunter World Iceborne? sweat.gif

Checked the Event Viewer and I found out this:
Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

It seems like both 19.12.2 and the latest 20.1.1 drivers are having the same issues sweat.gif

Posted here few days ago regarding issue playing 4k 60fps video(stuttering) on my PC (Windows 10).

Last time I wasnt running the video when screenshotting the reading of Resource Monitor. (my bad)

CPU : i5 3550 @ 3.30Ghz 3.70Ghz
GPU : Radeon 7850 2GB DDR5
Ram :  CORSAIR 12GB (4GB x 3) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1333

Youtube video 4k 60fps and iPhone recorded video are both affected.
Tried Resource Monitor on a 4k 60fps video using VLC /MPC player and CPU usage is 85% and CPU usage is around 100% when playing  a 4k 60fps youtube video(chrome = hardware acceleration on, tried on Edge as well).

So is it safe to assume that CPU is the bottleneck here and I should upgrade to a better CPU? I am not gaming, just want to enjoy 4k 60fps smoothly
[attachmentid=10398535]

Looks very much like a GPU bottleneck (see the 0% GPU usage on your task manager)

You can try to play 4K60 HEVC videos by downloading the video here:
https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/17...marena_v001.mov

My setup (R5 3600+5700 XT) decodes 4K60 HEVC videos just fine, with my CPU usage hovering between 3-5% and GPU usage around 38% icon_idea.gif

Also, can you try downloading this from the Microsoft Store?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/hev...t%3aoverviewtab

Look for something like a GT1030 (if you want futureproof, then a GTX1650) as a minimum if you want HEVC decoding:
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-d...-support-matrix
(Scroll to NVDEC support matrix)

I recommended a nVidia GPU as their GPUs handle video decoding much better than AMD icon_idea.gif

AMD's Navi card also handles HEVC decoding too:

Will the price of the 2060 be adjusted over here as well?
The cheapest 2060 seems to be RM90 cheaper than the 5600XT Pulse.
The 1660 Ti is priced RM140 cheaper than 2060.

Too bad the price of the 5600 XT is overpriced here due to price gouging by the distributor sweat.gif

They may drop the price, but not immediately laugh.gif

Got myself a used 5700XT to play with.

Quite unfortunate AMD is not pricing the card competitively like elsewhere.

That is because the card itself is very efficient even surpassing Nvidia at lower voltage points, by quite a bit.

My 4 tested settings:

Radeon Setting: 1380MHz - 0.750V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=066W - 3577 - 54.20PPW

Radeon Setting: 1790MHz - 0.925V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=103W - 4686 - 45.50PPW

Radeon Setting: 1920MHz - 1.000V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=134W - 4982 - 37.18PPW

Radeon Setting: 2060MHz - 1.100V - 14.4Gbits
1080p Extreme Superposition: <=161W - 5297 - 32.90PPW

System: B450 Gaming Plus Max, R5 3600, 16GB DDR4 E-Dies @3733, CPU&GPU under waterblock, fully silent system

Not AMD's fault, but distributors sweat.gif

Unless we can cut out the middlemen there's not much we can do to drop the prices sweat.gif

AMD Malaysia distro is being greedy AFAIK.

It'll be interesting to see what AMD will bring into the table for gaming laptop this year with their improved efficiency on their RDNA GPU. I really don't like the idea having RTX inside the laptop for now with all the thermal and power limitation.

Weirdly enough their CPUs are quite well priced (very close to the US MSRP, IINM) hmm.gif

Distributor also subjected to the brand you know.

AMD sets price on many things, and a lot more is involved.

I have the lesser Pulse model and it has been working fine so far (I do get the black screen issue but can be easily worked around by disabling hardware acceleration on Chrome and certain applications like Discord) icon_idea.gif

planning to get the red devil 5700xt since it seems like it has the best cooling and price vs others

what is the power consumption recommended for 5700xt when playing games? currently i only have 550w 80+ gold psu i dont think it is enough to power the card hmm.gif

i'm not going to overclock or run water cooling, just plug and play

More than enough - in fact I'm running a 5700XT with a Seasonic 550W PSU icon_idea.gif
