I have a problem with the 7900 XTX card and its power consumption.
I use 3 monitors for work, when I have both connected, the power consumption of the card is 30W and the temperature of the memory junction is 56 degrees Celsius.
On the other hand, when I connect a third monitor, the memory frequency jumps to 2500Mhz and the power consumption of the whole card is 100W - and also the temperature of the memory junction is as high as 74 degrees. And this is in the idle state. I wonder how long the card will work if it runs day after day with such temperatures.
Does AMD plan to eventually improve its drivers so that the 7900 XTX doesn't consume 100W at idle?
With the release of new processors I keep hearing the word “ efficiency”. How about AMD finally address fixing these drivers and the problems that have been known for years?
The most powerful card from the AMD stable has such underdeveloped drivers that it's hard to look at, example:
My spec:
Ryzen 5800X3D
MSI B550-A Pro
32GB Ram ddr4-3600Mhz
Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro+
Each monitor has AMD Freesync enabled, each running at 4k resolution.
