Driver may fix stuttering but I’m not optimistic about the power and performance. I’ve been an AMD fan but a bit disappointed with out of the box experience vs Nvidia this generation. For the $1150 I paid for the XFX XTX its close to the $1250 I paid for the 4080 and I was hoping to be blown...

Nope you are not alone. I bought an XFX 7900XTX Speedster Merc 310 and I thought it was going to be better than my Gigabyte 4080 Gaming OC. Nope very very wrong. I get similar microstutters in The Division 2 on both a B450/5800X and an X670E/7700X systems. I plug in the 4080 on both and no...

Gigabyte approved the RMA. Would have taken a video of it working but its already boxed up ready to go. Thanks. Will marking this as resolved.

Cool thanks for the feedback looking to get an RMA now :( Photo

I haven’t seen too many cases in search 3 come up but not related. I have a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard. One evening as I powered it on there was a flash and computer shutoff. Looking in side near the flash was a blown VRM? Maybe? Its an IC close to the 8pin CPU power socket on the...

I hope that is the case. At stock speeds, gaming in The Division 2, GPU 1802Mhz (undervolt) and memory at 1000Mhz, junction temp never goes above 88C. At overclock speeds, ditto, GPU set at 2000Mhz (1146mv) and memory at 1200Mhz, junction temp gets to 96C still below thermal throttling. Both...

So after Bykski announced the first Radeon VII waterblock here, I immediately purchased one and received it Monday the 25th. Out of the box the Bykski was horrible. I was thinking I should have waited for the EKWB version they just announced right after my unit came. I wanted to cry I was...

OK so I had to remove the waterblock and lap it I dry lapped with 800grit then wet lap and washed it smooth. There were very sharp ridges where the waterblock was milled on the surface where it meets the GPU. I ran my finger nail across the surface and it was getting hung up on those walls...

Well I am very disappointed. I received the instructions and the waterblock is much much worse than the massive and loud air cooler. I modified the stock air cooler with the washer mod Radeon peaking at 101C on Junction Temperature and rarely throttling back. Before the washer mod stock from...

Received the waterblock, unfortunately the included installation instructions are in a foreign language. Contacted support for a detailed english version. I am not going to risk a $700 GPU trying to do this by guessing.

Got shipping notice mine is on the way, can’t wait to have a quieter GPU!!

BTW contacted support and they sent a new panel right away. Looks to be a much better adhesive.

Sweet, was hoping to see one from EK but contemplating waiting or getting this one. My Radeon VII so far is stock at stock speeds and I'm regularly hitting average ~110c with max of 115C junction temps in Apex Legends. Update: I ordered one, will see how it goes. Also they enticed with a...

Ok agree, will do. Contacting Lian Li. Dang it so this morning I checked and the left side of the glass was peeled away completely while the right side was still half stuck on. Thankfully the glass had not fallen out.

Waiting may depend on what you have now. Bundled game are also a reactor and Navi may not be in the price range you mentioned at release. I have both new and used RX 570 and 580 8GB as well as the new Radeon VII. Prices are really good now as the mining craze stopped inflating price and...
