As someone with AMD GPU, i have heard that these drivers suck, but i think what they actually mean is skill issue, because i haven't had driver issues.

My R.A.T 8+ had sadly started to break scroll wheel is skipping has done so for a long time and apparently i have left clicked 50 million times. What i love about the R.A.T mice that can be customized is that it can actually be made to fit my big hand and the side scroll is pretty useful when you get used to it Edit i bought it at release so i am satisfied with the life i got out of it

Hi! which values set do TDC and EDC? Please!

If AMD would fix the shimmering affect FSR creates I might consider using again. The shimmering was so distracting to me, I quickly removed the AMD card and installed in my sons PC, maybe he won’t notice it

this was interesting

This is true for Nvidia as well, but the problem is that Nvidia stops giving you performance improvements the moment your GPU is not current generation.

Downvote for the Intel juiceguzzler.

I haven't had my 7900 XT all that long. But, I've seen some stability and frame rate improvements. Not that it was ever slow... I mean, freakin 240Hz 1440p is almost easy for it.

Not sure about the fine wine thing, remember, wine is rotted grape juice, but as a XTX owner this is good.

When people say that AMD drivers are bad, no one believes. This video is proof of it. Some increases in FPS are massive. At least Intel admitted it, and they are not calling it a feature (fine wine), just as AMD does. It takes several years for AMD to fix their drivers (best example Radeon 200 and 300 series bad from the start, 'fine wine' never helped). In many cases, after 2-3 years, you will no longer own the same gpu, so buying an AMD gpu for their 'fine wine' marketing gimmick is nonsense.

Great idea for a video and well done. I'd be interested to know how much of the performance gains come from driver optimizations and how much comes from higher core clocks. Do you have a way to measure if the core clocks were "enhanced" over time through the drivers? Maybe with HWinfo64 and watch the effective clocks and all that? I don't have an RDNA 3 GPU so I'm not sure of all the various clock metrics that can be measured. I know this wasn't as much of a thing back in the days of static clocks, but nowadays with the boost algorithms and base/boost/game clocks it can matter a good bit over time if clock behavior is modified. I know Nvidia had to do something in the drivers when Ampere released regarding clock behavior. If you have a 4080/4090 I'd love to see this same approach of oldest drivers versus newest drivers!

High quality stuff!

Thanks my pc broke 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ich habe eine Frage ich habe mir den i7 4770k gekauft bei mir taktet er nur 3.4 ghz und nicht auf 3.9ghz ich weiß nicht warum

I'm so happy that you still have the reviews of the hd 6670 GDDR3 and GDDR5, because I was wondering if there was any performance difference between the two since I'm building a retro PC and now I have my answer 50% difference, that's big and goes to show that even on low-end GPU back in 2010 memory bandwidth was king.

What are your thoughts about the result? 🤔😅 Fine wine or fine... milk? 😂

MAN you need to run this on a 3rd 4th gen Motherboard<< Like I do , Come on DUDE Your CPU and DDR5 board ram is fucking cheating

Update: I am facing scroll wheel issue now, really disappointed. Cursor goes up and down randomly while scrolling. Wonder how to fix it and if i made the right choice by buying it. Anyone else facing the same issue with this specific or RAT series model?

For a pure gaming pc, Nothing beats the 7900xtx paired with a 7800x3d cpu.

Which GPU did you use?

Hmmm, overclocking *without undervolting* will just overheat. This is clearly you first overclock. Next time *undervolt first* to enhance longevity.

Nvidia is well overpriced and with that 12hpwr connector that is a major negative! I'm not a fanboy either I just like what works for me as I own many different cards. My main card is a ARC A770 16gb that works very well for me and I got it during the gouging period for MSRP. As much as I would like to have an AMD card they were way too pricey at that time!... Nvidia? Forget it!

Is it a way you can turn off the gaming lights? Thank you

I think you convinced me to get this. Look at the price now! Ebay has these for a modest low $300 price

i have 7 of them and they are great

Nah, nope, not at all. 4080 and above are all remarkably better cards than anything AMD has on the market rn. There isn’t even a debate to had here. Numbers don’t lie. People do.

Creative Labs was the pinnacle of gaming audio before gaming was a marketing term. Their cards were always in my builds going back decades. Unfortunately, I’ve gone almost completely wireless in most of my daily driver builds and don’t like headphone wires (or any wires) anywhere near my desk. I wish there was a way to get the amazing signal from one of these cards into a non-biased high end analog set of headphones. The Steelseries Nova Pro headset seems to be the only real candidate for this scenario but I wish there were other more “pure” options out there.

Glad you did all this testing, thank you. Only suggestion I would have is that the testing should have been against the 4080 instead of the 3080 since both the XTX and 4080 Super are roughly the same price

I bought over a month ago a Biostar RX 6700 XT, card is quiet and cool. Before that first time I bought new card was back in 2018 with GTX 1050 Ti, which was around 250e and and RX 6700 XT now in 2024 is around 310e. I owned a GTX 1070 which was second hand and used for mining for 180e. Thing is, my experience so far with Nvidia is EXPENSIVE gpus at launch, and when price are finally settled you get a product that is outdated and slow. Its same with AMD but at least price drop is way faster than Nvidia. For 310e I can get RTX 3060 which is way slower than 6700 XT. But Nvidia has at least for me its driver stability. For a month now, I experienced one green screen crash and numerous other but minor problems with AMD card, and I think that is the reason why most people buy Nvidia over AMD. RTX performance is useless, without upscaling you will need an RTX 4080 and up to play games at 60fps( Witcher 3 or CP).

Anti-leak...and mine just leak through the radiator fins after using it for 8month..

nice i hold mine aged 780 in my hands couple of days ago nice to see it still can perform..

I bought the 7900XT(MSI CLASSIC) like 9months back & yes it's my Baby...runs every game smooth. I ditched Ngredia for same cz as U, 12pin connector, & ditched the XTX Cz it's hella more costly in India, & for just like 10-14Fps more for 400+Wattage it's too much. Upgraded from GTX 1060 6GB, U get the upgrade amount.

It's a good chip that can do both gaming and productivity, but got shifted because of the initial price, and the sister chips performing really well. It performs worse in gaming when compared to 7800x3d, but that's because people are comparing it to the best gaming chip on the market right now. Remove 7800x3d from the equation and this chip is easily one of the best for this generation, destroying every non x3d and Intel chips out there. And the productivity performance are pretty acceptable, unlike 7800x3d that got beaten by midrange intel chips for this category. I can't say this for everyone, but I tend to lock in my FPS at a certain point. So the extra 10% I would get from using the sister chips doesn't really matter that much, especially when ALL x3d chips hitting very high numbers in the first place. But productivity is different. It's pure performance pumping. We don't "cap" our performance during these type of tasks, and this is where 7900x3d shines. It has way better productivity than 7800x3d It ran way cooler with lower temps than 7900x and most high-end Intel chips (you can save more with less robust cooling) Its cheaper when compared to 7950x3d (albeit weaker performance) Alot of people seems to think in the extremes. Gaming = 7800x3d, productivity = 7900x. What if I wanted both but I'm not rich enough for 7950x3d? Then 7900x3d is the answer.

I think both you and comments below all overlooked this case. It is the PERFECT case if you rotate 90° and place it on your left and use aircooling.

I bought now my 12600kf for 150 euros passing by a i5 3570k of the 2012! ( Great cpu and still working perfectly). This 12600k rulez for the price! And Power consuption. I think at the moment is the best option for the quality/price. I think i will wait others 10 years to change for anorher cpu 🙂. There is no reason to buy a new one, after 3/4 generations if you don t want to waste money.

My Skytech Blaze 4 Mini comes in this type of case. I just love it.

24gb of VRAM, 3200mhz+ boost clocks just by clicking a single button in the AMD Adrenaline software and the $1700-$2000 4090 being the only card with better raster, I'd say this is a damn good card and great high end value. The latest versions of FSR and AFMF are really doing well and these cards are seriously heavy hitters in todays gaming world. Why there is so much hate, I'm not sure. I feel like people root for cards like they do their favorite football team.

The reason this ram performs worse than your 3200 is because it's no longer in a 1-1 relationship with your infinity fabric. CAS latency refers to clock cycles, not time, so your understanding of the relationship between mega transfers to second and CAS is wrong, a higher CAS at faster timings can still equal a lower overall latency. In other words, at 4000 MT per second, the faster ram can go through 18 clock cycles faster than your 3200 at can go through 14. The way to get the best out of this ram is to reduce the MT/s so it goes back into a 1-1 relationship with the infinity fabric, probably 3600 to 3800, and tune the CAS to as low as you can go.

I just bought the A-15 with i5-12450H 12th Gen and 64 gigs of ram for it. Amazing little computer that really packs a punch. I even put 1 4k movie playing on 1 monitor, and another 4k playing on another monitor. I played them at the same time! And it did not slow this down a bit. That was with 16gigs of ram. Now I upgraded the ram to 64 gigs. Ran several Security Checks on it, it was clean. This guy is spreading very old news, the problem was fixed months ago!

Great content for newbies like myself.

1:49 i dont agree to this, so won't watch. Should test both on the same Mobo, same everything.

Bougth this 2015 , still working. Really good product.

Why don't I see any reviews that point out the DDR5 Long boot times on AM5?

I want to use this as my pc audio set . Am I able to Bluetooth connect to my pc?

The problem is the pump is at the top of your radiator and it's sound will leak out of the top of your rig. I feel like a pump in block would be quieter since it's down low.

Is the 770 2x good with sli

It's going for about 850 or below during sales now

I recently got an A5 and so far am very happy, it works very well and is inexpensive and even better it takes up very little space, also it Bluetooths my speakers and WAP's my printer so I don't have cables everywhere picking up dust, it's a breakthrough for home computers and runs Sniper Elite very well with great graphics, as good if not better than my old RX 570 and 6350 CPU.

These newer cases are not designed for ancient technology. Mechanical drives should be used in a NAS and not inside the case as they take up valuable room for slow mediocre nonsensical performance. They don't include the trays to reduce the initial cost so ppl don't have top pay for crap they don't need or want. It does come off cheap though at this price point not include them but for most users those trays would just add to the landfills anyway. If you are still using Mechanical drives then this style case is not for you, you can easily find old obsidian 900d or Cosmos II cases for hoarding nonsensical mechanical drives.

I have 7900xtx but so many issues .going back to rtx never going back to amd until they fix the drivers issues
