Haha, love the sig machine, you still have it? :D People seem to be going gaga over the Red Devil, is it even out yet? massive cooler and 3 fans. That monitor looks good, my Electriq 35" turned up, gotta get used to this ultrawide view, but 3440x1440@100hz is good enough for me.

Recent pic from Wattman monitoring, pretty reasonable i think Apart from the fan speed :D

Just ran a last test, not at home yet. 3dmark timespy Vram was at 68 GPU hotspot temp on that run was 101 which is a bit high. Was running at 2100 @1.2v

I actually agree with you, my previous GPU's would never get any where near those temps. normal usage, default settings 100% load, it runs about 65-70 Hotspot, GPU is about 45 i think. I haven't had the time to do a full test of everything, was trying undervolting a minute ago, but it's...

I did tighten the screws on the block since then :p I think you'll find that these hotspot(junction temps) on these card are 'normal', even so with a waterblock i was expecting lower, bear in mind that this was at 50% powerboost, and max OC that wattman would allow and running furmark. I think...

Just did a Timespy test, and score seemed a little low in comparison. Checked GPU-Z, and my PCI-E Bus link seems to be fluctuating between x16 @ 3.0 and x16 @ 1.1, might be an issue with the Riser Cable, I'll check that when i get home, i'm running the test remotely from work, so not much i can...

I only gave it a quick test prior to installing the waterblock, plus i had monitor issues(needed a displayport to active DVI-DL adaptor), still looking at replacing the monitor, getting the Electriq 35" Ultrawide(it's the Massdrop Vast sold under a different name) Hotspot temps are just over...

Installed, and not much better, Wattman crashes all the time also, still not impressed!!! Chill is a hotkey toggle, never pressed it, i don't think it's enabled.

So, i've installed the 5700xt, waterblock fitted, all up and running. Temps are a little high full load and OC'd but not hitting thermal limits yet. I miss my Nvidia 980ti already, i mean honestly does AMD's driver team have a clue what they are doing? I'll do a clean install soon just to make...

Apparently there is this: taken from here: Looks like the 5950XT is the top end part, but we'll have to wait and see what actually appears and with what specifications/performance. manufacturing process isn't the be all and end all of performance, Intel still have the performance edge over...

By your own words you are proclaiming an undocumented vapourware product the king and winner of the performance wars, but you asked for criteria of what you base a purchase on? imagination? Once the products actually exists, it can be tested, and everyone will see where it compares to Nvidia's...

Are you trying to hijack this thread? The truth is that AMD right now cannot compete at the high end, it really doesn't matter what 'might' be coming in the future, people aren't buying vapourware from stores, they are buying real products that actually exist. I'm on a budget, so i bought AMD...

Are they that hard to find?

I would have thought that GPU's of a slightly higher price tag (£8-900+) would be considered premium no? The 5700's are priced closer to Nvidia's 'budget' RTX offerings no? Not that i'm biased at all or anything, but there will always be a strong fan-boyism in topics like these, i do think AMD...
