Hello,
I bought a Powercolor 6900XT (reference design) a couple of weeks ago and was super happy that I was able to get one. I already bought a Asus RTX 3080 TUF before, but I wanted to have a full AMD built this time, so I put the 3080 in my second PC. I had no issues with the 3080 in my primary PC. All games ran just fine.
Before I describe my issue with the 6900XT, here are the specs of my PC
Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra BIOS ver. F32
Ryzen 7 5800X
Powercolor RX6900XT reference design Drv. 21.2.1
32GB DDR4 3600MHz CL16 RAM Dual Rank
Sabrent Rocket 1TB PCIe 4.0
EVGA 1300W G2 PSU
Dell S2721DGF Monitor 2560x1440 165Hz Freesync/GSync
So my issue since I have installed the 6900XT are that my FPS are not very consistent in many games. I can run 3d mark time spy and firestrike extreme just fine and the scores are awesome, but in games the GPU doesn't perform like that.
Here is a list of games I tried:
COD Warzone (GPU load is topping out at 70 to 75%, GPU clocks below 2000MHz and jumps around, FPS drops from 140 to 90 even just standing still. Frametimes have regular spikes from 7ms to 35ms.
COD Black Ops Cold War (Very similar behaviour than Warzone, even on much smaller scale Gun Fight maps.)
DayZ (GPU load is very low, GPU clocks are fluctuating from 1600MHz to 2100MHz, FPS are ranging from 60 to 140FPS, just when looking around.)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (GPU load is a 99%, GPU clocks are stable around 2300MHz, FPS are mostly stable, but every 15 seconds I get a frame time spike to 35ms)
Rocket League (GPU load extremely low, FPS relatively high, frame time spikes to 35ms every now and then.)
GTAV (GPU load 99%, frames stable with the occasional spikes like in other games.)
Got frustrated and didn't play anymore games right now.
How is your experience with the 6000 series GPUs so far?
