    Question XFX 6950XT performance - power usage declines.

    I decided to stay awake and try the DXnavi fix and can report that it is at least partially successful and seems to indicate that this is a driver issue around DX 11. With DXnavi disabled for DX11 only I see significant performance uplift in games that previous had problems. Power draw no longer...

    Question XFX 6950XT performance - power usage declines.

    I don't have that game, but based on some quick googling it looks like it's possible to run it in either DX11 or DX12. Can you check which one you are running it in and if it's 11 try it in 12?

    I found some posts on reddit that suggest it may be a DX11 issue with the drivers. After checking all of the games I've had the problem in have been DX11. No DX12 games have had an issue. The problem does not happen with all DX 11 games, only some. I saw several people say that disabling DXnavi...

    Question XFX 6950XT performance - power usage declines.

    CPU utilization will tpyically be sub 50% when this happens, with the temperature usually around 55-60 degress. For some older or lower intentsity titles I've tried it with CPU util can be sub 20% will the gpu refuses to draw more than 75 watts. My previous GPU was a GTX 1080 and I never had any...

    Question XFX 6950XT performance - power usage declines.

    Partial solution found and has been added to the bottom of this post. If anyone has any other information that may help it would still be greatly appreciated. I recently installed an XFX 6950XT into my rig and I'm having some substantial performance problems, even at 1080P. When I initially...
