I've got myself the Asrock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XTX OC Graphics Card from AMD.
Out of the box, I plugged it in my rig (with 3x8Pin power connectors):
- CPU: Intel Core i7 13700kf (cooled by Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360)
- Mainboard: Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX
- GPU: Asrock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XTX OC
- Storage: 1x Samsung 980 PRO 2TB + 1x Lexar NM620 2TB
- Power Supply: MSI MPG A 750 W
As you can see, specs wise it's latest generation hardware with more than enough power.
The following issues are happening:
After properly installing the latest Adrenalin Drivers (23.9.3) and installing the Apps: Starfield, 3D Mark Time Spy, Counter Strike 2
I received barely any errors.
After some hours, I got a BLUE SCREEN with then error resulting into Drivers timed out.
I did some research and deactivated "Hardware acceleration in Discord and my Opera GX Browser (which I always have open with 5-50 Tabs)
I also disabled the MPO Regestry Entry.
- That seemed to fix it for now..
I then went ahead to "boost my gaming experience" by enabling some driver features like:
- Radeon Super Resolution
- FSR (in game)
- Radeon Boost
- Radeon Anti-Lag
- Radeon Chill
When I start Starfield with RSR / FSR, it keeps crashing the game and then a BLACK SCREEN appears. (I play on 1440p)
When I apply RSR / FSR in other games, like CS2 it barely crashes, however results in 50-75% less FPS and Quality like I had on my 10 year old laptop.
My solution for now is that I don't enable anything except Anti-Lag which seems to be "working" most of the time.
And my last problem is in relation with TUNING:
No matter what i tune eventually my gpu will crash into Blackscreen/Bluescreen/drivers timeout.
For Example: I changed Volts from 1150mV to 1125mV and i opened steam -> got a blackscreen
And it happens even more often, if i have "Fast timing" enabled in vram
Even the "example tunings" for like Power-Saving, or Overclock always result into blackscreen/bluescreen/drivers timeout, sometimes quick, sometimes after 1-2hrs.
My avg temp in idle is around 40° and on load 60-72°
My max power draw i saw was 474W (on powerlimit +15%)
Anyone can related / know what could be the problem that i can barely adjust anything on this card?
I mean it's a 1100€ Card, who would expect that i can not change anything except screen resolution and image quality in-game?
