Got my retail Radeon Vii with an actual handwritten note from Lisa Su.
ok, thats just some cool shit there.Got my retail Radeon Vii with an actual handwritten note from Lisa Su.
Voltages are high because that's what is required for the aggregate to be stable at rated specs. If AMD could get away with all cards being stable at lower voltages I guarantee you they would volt them accordingly.

Many folks who've now recieved their cards are starting to report undervolting is working wonders for them. Stable clocks, lowered power draw, heat etc
I thought undervolting didn't work or was that just with the review drivers?
Has anyone gotten their shipping notice form And.com? I got my order in at like 6:05 and got a confirmation and then a PP receipt but nothing from AMD.
My first one is in transit from Newegg.
Feb 7 at 9:10 AMThe story is, the first 10 purchases on the Radeon VII off AMD.com will have a hand written note from Lisa Su. Out of curiosity, whats the time stamp on the first email you received from AMD.com on your order?

What time zone? I assume you paid extra for prioritized shipping? I took standard ground as the card ships out of Minnesota (live 70 miles away from shipper). My card wont get here until Monday.
Time Stamp on my first email (Order Submitted) was 8:24am CST.

I think most reviewers used review drivers that didn’t support undervolting.Well, most reviewers aren't that great at what they do. Undervolting is not on they're radar. Just like most, if any, don't do any real compute performance on stuff that alot of people on this or other forums want to see. Think folding, crunching, etc.
Eastern, Opted for overnight but requested a refund since it got delayed.
Might be fine for gaming, but certain loads (maybe compute?) might make it take dump
well try afterburner lol.....but it is odd a fan speed adjustment would do that lol.....wattman as a hole has worked very well for me. its possible that ddu didnt help you in the first placeJust plugged mine in. Used DDU to remove the old driver first. Installed 19.2.1
Immediate soft lockup in wattman as soon as I adjusted the fan speed. LOL!

Received mine about 45 minutes ago from Newegg. Haven't decided if I should swap my 390x out for it or try reselling the card as sealed BNIB. With power, noise, performance, and drivers as it is I don't expect the card to hold value for long unless it has value to somebody as a compute card.
I've seen a lot of people question and ridicule the Radeon VII (especially in the context of buying one over a 2080). I cant speak for everyone, but here are my reasons for choosing a Raedon VII over a RTX 2080.
* Nvidia's L..O..N..G history of atrocious anti consumer / anti competitive behavior (this has and always will matter GREATLY to me)
* Widespread card failure on the RTX 2070 / 2080
* Questionable support / value of Ray Tracing and DLSS over the typical 3 years I keep a card
* Nvidia's "price gouging" on the Turing (vs Pascal)
* AMD's open source practices
* We collectively "need" AMD (elaborated below)
15-25%? Wah?* Power - Many report being able to undervolt their card averaging 15-25%. Simple slider in wattman and your set. This brings the Radeon VII matching the 2080 and depending on how good your silicone is, lower than the 2080.
15-25%? Wah?
The core on my card defaults to 1057mv. Who is getting away with < 900mv at stock clock speeds?
Basically this boils down, to NVidia hatred/AMD Fandom, because nearly everything else there is inconsequential.
Who cares about questionable value of Ray Tracing, the 2080 outperforms the Vega 7 in conventional games at the same price.
NVidia is price gouging but when AMD delivers worse performance for the same price it isn't price gouging?

Kind of odd there eh? Hmmm... Same exact model card brand new and different default vcore. WTF
Just played some of the TD2 beta in 4k resolution. Temps never got over low 60s. This is with the core voltage set to 924mv and the fan set to around 2650rpm. Furmark pushes it harder, into the lower 70s.
