He has the XTXH chip ("sapphire toxic extreme xtxh"), it's a higher clocked chip and has 2250 MHz (18 Gbps) memory vs the normal 2000 MHz (16 Gbps). So he can go to 2300+ while can only go to 2150 :) I have never dared to touch those values, interesting, maybe i should give it a try ... not...

+26000 !!! 🎉 Water Cooling: 1. 26099 Nordskov, the 'XTXH' https://www.3dmark.com/spy/35148012 2. 25695 BelowAmbient, the 'chiller' https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/85243423 3. 24467 bl4C3y3 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/85513441? 4. 24412 Catsonar https://www.3dmark.com/spy/26633741 5. 23767 nxcess...

sorry 6th ;) Nice that it worked, I've added you to the list ... I think you still have some margin :) 26000 would be cool ! ... and certainly as your daily OC ... anyway first place :D, now we just need a link to the validated result :p (no worries if you forgot to save your highest run, i...

I had also issues with the voltage in the beginning, as soon as I set it above 1.175, the frequency locked at 500 MHz. Doing this trick below in MPT solved that for me:

I think 5th :p Updated this quote from post #373 with latest additions: Extreme: 1. 2. 3. Water Cooling: 1. 25695 BelowAmbient https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/85243423 (or should this be under extreme ? because of 'chiller') 2. 25627 Nordskov...

yes, something was not right ... now hotspot reaches around 80-85°C max, and I can get the same frequencies and a slightly higher score of 24467 vs 24438, but with a lower average temperature of 51°C vs 53°C ... and that is inside at ambient of around 19° vs outside at freezing temperatures :D...

So you got a good +1000 points by taking it outside ? That's not too bad ! I only got +50 :D, but was happy already I could actually complete multiple +24000 runs again ... but needing to put this outside in below 0°C to get there, and the hotspot getting too easily to 110°C, feels like...

Hi all, it's been a while, and I had no successful attempts to report in the meantime ... but recently, the weather has gotten colder and I remembered this quote : so I gave that a try :) and put my case outside in around -3 to -5°C: 24438: 1290mV, MPT 517W, 2855core, 2140mem...

Cool ! The Ultimate version has a higher binned Navi 21 XTX, right ? (not the XTXH like in Sapphire Toxic Extreme from Nordskov) Curious what it will do with its air-cooling :) Now that you mention portable AirCon and temperature, I checked my temps, and they seem to be around 25°C higher then...

Haha, thanks ! ... but I'm sure it had more to do with luck than with OC skill :D And I might have used up all my luck that evening ... I've been trying many times but couldn't get any stable runs from around 2800MHz. Although a temperature of 62° would suggest so, I'm not sure that my settings...

Great, thx, that does the trick ! I downloaded MPT v1.3.9 and played around with Power Limit (360-450W) and Vmin (1200-1300). It's actually good fun playing with 'frequency-powerlimit-voltage' to find the right balance :) Not yet in 24500 territory, but I'm getting closer to Catsonar ;) 24382...

Nice scores ! So the liquid cooled 6900 XTX (Navi 21 XTXH) seems to offer quite some nice headroom when compared to normal 6900 XT ... wonder where the upcoming/rumored 6950 XT will land, according to reports it would have same GPU+memory as the 6900 XTX, let's hope we will find out in this...

Thx. No, CPU is cooled with EK classic S360 kit. The original plan was to add the 6900XT to that loop, but didn't get to it yet ... for now, I still like the looks of the reference card too much and it is really quiet.

22735: 1175mV and 374W (MPT 360 +4% PL), VRAM 1130, with reference air-cooler https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/72273323?

Nice ! Tried upping my score, but not quite there yet :) 22550: 1138mv and 356W (MPT 310 +15% PL), with reference air-cooler https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/72071593? I noticed that the Radeon drivers tuning page has a simple stress test, and that shows some useful metrics (instantly visible if MPT...

Played a little more: CPU @4700, RAM @3800 CL16, GPU 1140mv with MPT 310 (PL +15%) still with reference air-cooler Graphics score 22428 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/71995555?

Great :D, thx for putting this together ! Mine is actually aircooled, still has the reference cooler on, didn't touch it yet: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/71440227?

That's a real [H] way of doing it, nice one ! ... looking at those temps, seems to be working out quite well :) Thx for the pictures !

+24000, that's a nice number :D Catsonar2 got a similar score (+/- 21500) as me with a reference card without MPT, and you got 21200 with MPT (air-cooled), so I thought to also try my air-cooled reference with MPT. Just to play a little, not looking for the limits. I only set power limit to...

Ah, that's a good improvement ! And thanks for confirming. So while in 3DMark, it has a negative effect, I've played around a little more with this min-max setting with 2 in-game benchmarks to see what the effect would be there ... they might not be representative of real performance, but easy...

Interesting ... I played around a little bit more and in my case, the max slider doesn't seem to have much effect, but as soon as I put the min slider around 2500 (so at least 100 higher than my 6900 normally does), then the clock speed effectively raises, but at the same time, the FPS is lower...

Could it be that the min-max frequency setting has some effect on the score ? I've seen ppl mentioning using 'min 2500 - max 2600' or similar ... during my tests, I didn't touch those sliders yet, so they were at the default (min 500 - max 2484 ?). I'm not really sure what they are for...

That score looks on the low side ... what else could be at play here, CPU/RAM, VRAM ? You got very high clock speed (2500+), but lower graphics score (19266) ? Gideon's reference 6900XT and mine look to have very similar results: Both score around 21250 (without OC or SMT changes) and have a...

Hi, I got a reference 6900XT last October after 6 months of trying my luck in the weekly Thursday drop on AMD.com, I almost fell of my chair that I finally was able to get from the cue in the shop to place an order ... had to lay down for 5min to recover from that. Happy I stumbled on this...

Yes, very true. In many cases speed signs are an indication of the speed it is safe to travel at. That's why the max speed can be variable on the same road depending on the local situation (crossing, parked cars allowed, school nearby, ...). In road design, speed is a very important factor...

thx for reminding me of them :D that was some hype at the time ! if Raja can create the same excitement (with or without the vaporware), that might be fun :)

not really, probably because it seems he handles it with honest care :), … also thoughtful to show ounces and grams, great video ! I like the visual style of the card, clean and very nice ! (or was that because of the video equipment/skills)

From an accounting perspective, it probably does not matter (or cannot be separated) … but from a business and strategy perspective, it is very important to know where the next opportunity might lie, and where the last one might have ended. Not knowing or analyzing this seems like a big...

You can set it to show favorite pictures, if you set new favorites the loop will change. Best is to keep a small nr of favorites and change them when you want to ... it seems that when having a large nr of favorites, the loop just takes the same limited nr instead of all of them. As soon as you...

Oh my, that sent me down memory lane thinking about when I last/ever used an iGPU ... I once even planned for an iGPU :D Rememeber the nForce chipset ? (I had the MSI K7N420) I can remember I used the integrated GPU to for some time, waiting for the Geforce ti4400 to arrive (I sold my Geforce...

I will actually miss it, for me it is perfect, and the start screen is all I need: clean but personal, and the live tiles provide me with all the relevant information I need without any clutter. But I will still be able to hold on to my Lumia 950 for some time I guess/hope … my wife is still...

i've skimmed through the original document, and while it mentions "hardware-accelerated raytracing", i didn't see any statement about a geforce RTX being needed ? (i might have missed it) ... will it run on other graphics cards ? in other words, will any form of "hardware-accelerated raytracing"...

this excellent article/feature came to mind: https://m.hardocp.com/article/2018/03/30/amd_radeon_freesync_2_vs_nvidia_gsync would be cool to get a "2019 state of VRR" [H]update where finally the same monitors can be used ! :)

he probably means 1060, and maybe that "inventory 90:10" might have been how they initially thought the GTX1060 would be outselling the RX580 ... but it has been closer to 50:50, which is now AMD fault because it was not expected they could produce that many 580's :) ?

shouldn't that be "... since NVIDIA’s GTX 1060 is the top-selling GPU and AMD’s RX 580 is number 2, ..." ?

these things always put a smile on my face :) in some way, this setup might resemble the technology Gary Numan used to create the original sound ... for those wondering/interested, his latest album "Savage" from 09/2017 might be worth a try ! (I think it's great, of course different and...

thx for the review ! when talking about the bios n the introduction, you reminded me of trying another bios for my Vega 64 (the LC one, because I now have the EK A240R liquid gaming kit installed), and it seems to work fine, with higher clocks as a result, thx :) you nicely explained the...

Hi all, interesting thread, and I'd like to share my experience: I'm new to WC, so for me price and getting a complete kit was important ... I put together a new Ryzen system some time ago, and was very interested in the EK fluid gaming series, but it didn't have Vega support. Finally, beginning...

good point, and for this reason, I don't mine nor trade bitcoins ... mining uses so many resources, but they are only used to generate money ? I mean, are these mining calculations used for something beneficial or contribute to anything ? ... medicine, chemicals, physics, simulations or even...

that makes sense considering the images and the "layers" they mention ... thx !
