I just wanted to see if you could change it to the Graphics workload. Compute is for mining. Have you done any benchmarking and game playing and saw any noticeable differences between your data and other RX 580s? That really is the ultimate test at this point.

That is really good to know! I didn't have this issue with my RX 580, so it is good to know that this is a Navi bug.

Worth noting that I do also have this occasional issue where my primary display just goes black when running a full screen game. Very frustrating.

You should be able to flip from compute to graphics in the AMD driver. With an RX 580, you should be able to as I could with mine: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-024

@xAcid9, so far, I played through one of the campaign missions in BFV. It definitely ran much better and I was gettinng on average 100-120fps with some dips into the 80s and maxes around 180fps on ultra at 2560x1080 (which is what I expected with my PC). There is still stutter and lag in cutscenes. I will keep tinkering, as my weekend plans are coffee and gaming. That suggestion with enhanced sync was definitely helpful!

It was on enhanced sync before. I have turned it off now and will do some testing.

Sorry for the triple post, but to add further color, I am able to run the Time Spy regular and extreme stress tests with a 99.7% pass rating in both. Max GPU temperature is 80C.

I am also getting weird issues where my ultra wide with freesync randomly just goes black when loading a full screen game. I didn't have this issue with my RX 580 either.

Yes and temps are solid. It does not break 75C typically while gaming.

I have been having such random issues with my new 5700XT. It ranges from stuttering, lower performance than expected (BFV for example), and overall it has just been a buggy experience. I started this off running DDU in safe mode before swapping out my RX 580 for this card, and installed the latest 19.10.1 drivers released now from 10/17/2019. I have also updated my chipset drivers to latest and greatest. I am honestly at a loss, and am getting ready to just leave the red team and pony up for an RTX 2070 Super, because I am blown away by how all over the place performance has been. Does anyone have any recommendations for the issues with stuttering and lower than expected frame drops? My next step is to just blow out my M.2 and do a fresh Windows 10 install, but I had just done this a few weeks ago, so I would prefer not to. All help is appreciated. I am also miffed as Amazon is not honoring the AMD promotion for Borderlands 3 and Xbox Game Pass, so that isn't helping :(. Thank you!

Logitech G's software makes it stupid easy to assign the keys. I haven't toyed around in SLOBS. I will have to check it out!

That's what macro keys on gaming keyboards are for You should be fine for a 2700X. OBS sees about 20%~ CPU usage if I want to do 1080p60 streaming on veryfast preset. That doesn't impact my gaming. When I install my 5700XT today, I will be locating the plugins for OBS. However, I did pick up the ROG STRIX, and ASUS does give you a year of XSplit, so I may test that out, as I suspect that will be an overall better experience.

Honestly, the major improvements with the NVENC on Turing is really appealing, especially since it helps with ASR on Oculus. AMD really needs to invest more into VCE, but I believe it is mostly a software concern. I have found Relive to be glitchy at best on my RX 580. I am hoping that improves on the 5700XT, but I am not holding my breathe. Luckily for my streaming, I just do software since I got the Ryzen 7 specifically for being able to stream without needing the GPU for less quality footage.

It is the same UI that they've had since Windows XP. Honestly, IDK why they haven't changed it. They should just migrate it all to the Geforce Experience app, which I love with my laptop. Ironically, I've had more crashes and weird issues with that versus my desktop, but I imagine it would just be my laptop. It's an i5-8300H + a GTX 1050ti. On the flip side, I had to fight with my buddy's PC to get an RX 570 to work well with his i7-3770, but he is also still on Windows 7, so I imagine support is pretty much dismal on that front for both sides.

I would say spend the money as well. I think it is worth it over the GTX 1660ti.

For gaming only, I see no point in waiting for the 10c. If you want the i9-9900K, just get it. Just be sure to get a good cooler to stabilize the 5ghz OC to max out your performance. TBH, IDK why people are saying that the prices will go down when the next chips are released. Intel CPUs never drop in price.

I can see the benefit at that resolution. I say give it a shot and let us know your experience, but I would argue that an RTX 2080S or TI would be best suited if I want to push 60fps at 4K resolution on high settings in modern titles.

I feel like those still pushing the blanket driver statement aren't people that have run both. I think the OP made a good choice since if money isn't a problem, a 2070 Super is a solid buy and will serve him well. I personally just took the plunge on the 5700XT, as someone who has been running AMD personally since 2010 on my primary machines, I have grown accustomed to awesome feature updates and performance updates over time. They really do age like a fine wine, where NVIDIA is very "what you see is what you get" at the time of purchase.

I agree as that I think is the sweet spot for Ultra Wides, but that does require more horse power to drive too. OP, I think if your target is 4K~ pixels, you might as well go for an RTX 2080S/TI I actually just bought the ASUS ROG STRIX 5700XT and am looking forward to drive my 2560x1080 200hz monitor with it, but the 5700XT is also a very solid 1440P card. Temper your expectations.

I echo what others are saying. You should be going high end if you are getting a 3950X. It will work on lesser motherboards, but really, if you are getting a 3950X, I imagine that you will want to take advantage of all of the bells and whistles offered by the higher end boards, especially since this CPU is made for content creation workloads.

@Skiiwee29 Thanks for this! What CPU are you running? @LauriHimself Thanks! I will check these out when i get the chance just in case I missed something. The ones I've seen have all focused on the chip working, nothing about RAM compatibility changes or anything.

Everyone has pushed that Socket AM4 is great for the upgrade path, where you can upgrade to a future CPU with no issue. However, it seems nobody is really talking about high end X370 motherboard support for faster RAM and the new Ryzen 5/7/9 CPUs. I am curious about: Faster Memory Support (DDR4-3600~) Support for Ryzen 7 and 9 Personally, if I were to upgrade, I would like to think that I would be able to upgrade to a DDR4-3600 kit and a Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 third gen and be good to go. My motherboard supports both, but I am curious if this has been tested on these first generation motherboards and what is lost versus the newer chipsets beyond not supporting the latest generation of precision boost. I am sure there are plenty of other users like me who went deep into Ryzen back in 2017. I think this is a great conversation to have, since it seems all i can find online is "Yes, you could run a Ryzen 9 3900x without blowing your house up" type overview.

I agree with this statement. Honestly, for that CPU, an RX 470/570 is pretty perfect. I just dropped in a new budget Corsair PSU and an RX 570 into my buddy's old Dell with an i7-3770 in it, and he is stupid happy running all of the games he plays on high/ultra at 75hz. It really is such a good pairing, and arguably maxes out what that CPU generation can do gaming wise.

I echo what others are saying. Unless you really want ray tracing, I would argue a 1080ti isn't worth upgrading. I believe a 1080ti is still in the same class as an RTX 2080/S in performance, no? Someone keep me honest on that statement. As for platform, I know some are pushing you to go with Ryzen 3000, but I don't think upgrade-ability is worth the push. Socket AM4 is dead after next year with Zen 3, so that argument isn't strong. However, the performance gap is very close, so you will be happy with either platform, and both will give you a substantial bump in performance as newer games are really chugging on 4C/8T CPUs (referencing Borderlands 3 here). Personally, I would push a Ryzen 7 along with a really nice X570 motherboard so you get some of the PCI-E 4.0 goodness with access to stupid fast NVMe storage. Pair that with some DDR4 3600 memory, and you are in for an awesome time. I do not think the i9-9900K is worth the price premium over the current generation Ryzen 7 when overclocked, especially since that $200~ difference in price can be easily reinvested into a nice motherboard, RAM, and a nice CPU cooler. You could even use the Wraith Prism that comes boxed, which is honestly a solid cooler.
