Graphics

Hello guys,

I need second opinion about sending RX 5700 XT Pulse on RMA.

The issue

• It seems that usage is not acting normally, it is jumping too much in my opinion.

• I tried running my gpu on 1440p no problem with GPU usage, runs at 99% all the time. 1080p jumps around and is not stable.
• It is not and CPU bottleneck (CPU is running at 30%).

My PC

• CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
• MB: GB B450 Aorus Elite
• GPU: Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse
• RAM: Viper 4 3000MHz 2x8GB
• PSU: EVGA 650W Gold Quality
• Monitor: Alienware 240Hz with Freesync
  

I recorded short video with overlay on (1080p no overclock).

Thank you for your help.

Edit: When I'm out of the game (game is running) my gpu is running at 99%.

Lower resolution panels are not as brutal as 4K and above for gaming

My RX 480 8GB hardly can handle gaming at 3840x2160 with demanding modern 64-bit games

At 1920x1080 however my card barely get warmed up.

I know that 1080p isn't demanding as much as 4K or 1440p but the issue is somewhere in the GPU itself. 

If I pause the game, GPU is at 99% utilization and running on max Core clock.

not sure but some games in the lobby load the GPU, could be for tuning in-game settings

Actually found the issue updated to F51 and the problem started appearing.

Downgraded to F50 and the issue is gone. Going to sell this card cause I

had enough of this. Going to buy 2070S instead and it's coming from big AMD

fanboy.

Re: GPU Usage seems low in Graphics

I will open the bidding at 99 cents

First time

Second time

Sold, proud new owner of this card with trash drivers is hardcoregames™

Bad as radeon drivers can be, the cannot compared to the worst of them all.

GeForce driver 196.75 had a defective fan profile that locked fans at 30% regardless of temperature.

Lemme know when you get the new card. So I can arrange delivery....

Its AMD's trash powerplay feature which downclocks the GPU.

It cant be fixed so RMA ASAP.

I am speculating that the R5 3600 may be one of the faulty ones, in light of the long thread over the processor on this forum.

For some reason there have been a lot of reported problems. I suggest a new BIOS may surface before long.
