[SOLVED] Will Radeon RX 5700 bottleneck ryzen 5 2400g

[dragnelus]

I oc the cpu and tried to use the apu at minimum:

Will it bottleneck with XFX Radeon RX 5700 DD Ultra?

I will flash the card to an xt bios or set XT bios via regkeys in the pc.

I'd personally advise against flashing an XT BIOS on the card, but I believe it'll really depend on the title.

Thnx and just tweak pc with regkeys: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1956666

and not flash the card?

Why would you advise against it? I flashed mine (the same card OP is looking to get) and it works beautifully, really worth it for the extra performance.

Because the XT is beefier doesn't really help that the DD Ultra is already pretty toasty, so adding that extra power could spell issues however, it really depends on airflow.

^+1.
Also, the bios flash could fail. If one does not have one of those Dual Bios cards should this happen, they are screwed.

Yes it’s possible, but not easy to screw up and the card in question does in fact have a dual BIOS switch

I flashed my 5700 Red Dragon to a 5700XT Red Dragon...also with a dual BIOS. I do agree it was very easy and I also wouldn't say it's NOT easy to screw up. All you need is a power fluctuation during the flash so that's where a dual BIOS is going to save a lot of grief if it happens.

Once flashed, you also have to remember there was probably a reason your GPU was binned down to a 5700 vs. being sold as 5700XT. I have to drive with higher voltage for similar clocks, for instance, and so it runs hotter. Some might be different and only got binned down for market segmentation, if so I wasn't so lucky. But even getting only 1924Mhz at 1105V gives me a nice uptick allowing 1440P very high to ultra settings like a real XT.

And a last, general rule for Navi is that opting for lower voltage over higher clocks is better for a smoother FPS and game play.
