AMD RX 7700 XT

[Timmah!]

EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic are the 3 I've used in every build.

Don't go just by make though; research the particular model's reviews & ratings to ascertain its worthiness.

I have used Corsair in past and not much good luck with them. I only hear about seasonic on YouTube sponsors.

Look-up the ratings on psu's on websites like Amazon, Newegg, etc.

Search for the most-purchased psu's & see like the top 3 sellers' ratings.

Then search by top 3 highest rated & you'll usually see overlap of most purchased & highest rated. 

It's a straight forward task, just need to invest a little time & effort. 

I go by customers' ratings, not by reviewers who might be compensated to shill a product.

That is the hard part about buying popular ones since many are bought on influence as you said 

[Nycz]

i have tried different drivers with amd gpu's and install types of just drivers only too. i think amd gpu's hate me or something lol.

 

My memory is supported and i have tried different sticks too.

BY CHANCE YOU CAN U bowwor a UPS with voltage regulation?  to rule out dity power source, Nycz you hadidnt answerd my Q about room temp or GPU temp?

only other thing is a bent pin under CPU

Room temp is 74f and gpu temp is about 60c

[iboomboom]

At this point, give up. Sell your rig, buy a cabin in Alaska. Hunt venison, and moose. Live the simple life.

Only if I could but I would move and live in Poland since I am half Polish

Here you go; he's accepting homesteaders with an offer of a 6-month to 1 year free trial period with option to buy land or home if afterward interested.

then i say Bent Pin under CPU or damaged over volted chips 

other firmware update not matching MB Rev.X.XX no match for wrong instructions to MB for each Rev is different vender on MB

no free rides there, produce or be gone  but like the money is not a requirement but your input to living

I am tempted to say screw it and get an rtx 5060 to 16gb and go back to 1090p super high refresh rate lol

[Nycz]

playing battlefield 2042 on the rx 7700xt and then the rtx 5070 its odd. of course more fps with rtx but its way smoother. the fps is stable with amd but not smooth as if its giving up smoothness for fps or something.

[KaptCrunch]

have you looked at the CPU pins ?  any dis coloured the shine is missing,  also would  re-arched the ram socket pins with a safety pin 

Edited Monday at 03:40 AM by KaptCrunch

[Nycz]

Pins are all good

[Nycz]

In bf 2042 the rx7700xt is at 100% usage and rtx 5070 at 92%. CPU usage is higher with rx 7700xt as well so is there a bottleneck? Bottlenecks always confuse me.

lanes of data to PCI-e to CPU visea versa, like 4 lane Hwy vs 8 lane  road more volume/data moved. 

PCIe lanes serve as the information highway through which data bits are transferred from the PCIe device connected to the motherboard to the CPU for processing. In the following text, we read more about what PCIe lanes are.

PCIe is a high-speed standard that allows you to add extra functionalities to your motherboard with the help of expansion cards. PCIe is one of two primary methods, the other being SATA, that allows you to add components to your PC.

Knowing what PCIe lanes are and how many you have is essential to building a PC that meets your current needs and is also future-proof.

The PCIe expansion cards get attached to PCIe slots found on the motherboard and thus add functionality such as video graphic processing, network capability, storage expansion, and more.

Different expansion cards have additional PCIe lane requirements. The more demanding an expansion card is, the more PCIe lanes it requires to cater to the expansion card’s higher throughput rate.

A card can have 1, 4, 8, or 16 lane requirements, one lane used by a weaker card like WiFi network cards, and 16 roads used by demanding cards that produce a lot of data like a graphics card.

What about the hotspot temp?  Is 60c temp the underload or idle temp?  If idle that's a bit much I think and it could be time to repaste the card.

i think was loaded 

CW4   i run 3080TI never seen anything over 75° C

60c was the cpu temps at idle until I switched to air cooling and now that idles at 45-50c. Gpu temps vary on the games I play.
