My 9070 XT said delivery in April and yet arrived 1 month early.

Let's hope they build on it and finally replicate Ryzen's success with Radeon 🤞

Sapphire pulse available at Overclockers at the moment

Just snagged a Saphire 9070 Pulse for about 546 euro on ebuyer and it dispatched! Say a prayer for me for getting it over the border! 🙏

i haven't had much game time with the new 5070xt card, but just wondering has many experienced issues? it was far from a plug and play experience. remove all presence of NVIDIA/update bios/delete drivers in safemode/update chipset/change MB settings etc etc. I think i'm out of the woods but need to stress test to be sure.

did the same as yourself but coming from a 2070 super.
once installed when playing an FPS when automatic shooting frames dropped to one. when i deleted display drivers in safe mode provided me the biggest recovery. other steps removed the last few stutters/frame drops i was getting.

My EVGA Supernova 650w PSU comes with a "VGA" to single 8 pin pci-e cable and another VGA to double 8-pin pci-e cable.

Would it be safer to use both cables i.e. leaving 1 8-pin connector disconnected,

Or simply use the single cable to double 8-pin connectors?

It will be to power the Sapphire Pulse 9070 non XT which has a tdp of 220W.

Just curious as to which people prefer.

Thanks for the replies guys!

That article was great.

I'll probably leave the daisy chain cable in to save some space.

Shneaking this in here since APUs are mentioned as well as CPUs.

Are you finding the -100 stable in games? Can't go much beyond -40 with my nitro xt in actual games or I get crashes, benchmarks I can go -150

Feck!

Hit a brick wall with the upgrade.

Longshot - if anyone has a spare and original PCIe 8-pin or 6+2 cable or daisy chain cable specifically for the following models of EVGA modular / semi-modular PSUs, please pm me:

B3/B5/G2/G3/G5/G6/GA/GM/GP*//P2/P3/P5/P6/P+/T2

I have an EVGA Supernova 650 GA power supply I bought from Amazon warehouse a few years back and used it with the GTX 1080.

It came with some screws missing and I got a partial refund but it's only now I realized it was missing the daisy chain cable also!

So I only have one single 6+2 Pin PCI-e, and need a second one or daisy chain to power the RX 9070.

I also leaned today that the pin-outs are different on modular PSUs, and coolmod are the only 3rd party people seem to trust.

I might just have to sell the existing PSU with the GTX1080 and order a new power supply.

I really really appreciate the offer but I decided to just buy a CORSAIR RM850x from Amazon in the end. Went for the 2024 model with ATX 3.1 and PCI 5.1 spec.

I know I could look up pin-outs for the connectors on the cable and use a multimeter to test voltages but I didn't think it would be worth the risk of frying the card if something went wrong.

Thanks! 🙏

I haven't actually gotten my 9070 XT stable with an UV in games. I got to -50mv and gave up due to crashes. Must try -40mv. Like you it was much more stable in benchmarks.

It's very strange tbh, I've overclocked every GPU I've owned and usually benchmark tools give you an idea of stability (maybe dial it back a little for games), but the 9070xt is completely different, stability @ -150/165mv in benchmarks absolutely no problem, but then games I have to dial it way way back to like -30/40mv to stop hard crashing. Maybe it's a driver issue and will improve with maturity 🤷‍♂️ either way extremely happy with performance coming from a 1080ti
