i had a 3070 and a 6800 xt before and they ran flawlessly 

pc is on the table waiting for the new 3080 the come tomorrow , i already send the 3080 back today, hopefully it will work 
 

I won’t put it in mail , we will do it f2f , also he wants it cause his motherboard is aorus pro and would look good with the gpu cause it’s aorus lol

Edit: RM750 is OK.

I editted my previous post. RM750 is OK for 100. I did limit my search till 90.

No issues with my 6900xt either, it's just a meme at this point that the echochamber kids keep repeating.

This is such an advantageous trade that I would be careful about things.  The 6800xt is a 3080 competitor not a 3070 competitior.  This could be a mining thing or a DLSS thing but the msrp for the 6800xt isn’t just higher than the 3070 it’s a LOT higher.  The other party will be taking some level of financial loss.  Use caution.  Just blindly Throwing your card in the mail might mean it’s the last you hear of this other person. I don’t even know how to safely accomplish such a trade. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one of course.

There seems to be some confusion here,  you undervolt to get cooler temps, and longer sustained boosts,  what you most likely won't get is higher max frequencies... 
 
Depends on the games,  but in my recent tests, I got it to 2070mhz max in heaven (benchmark) and that was good for 1-2 fps compared to my usual undervolt, which hovers pretty consistently around 1965mhz .
 
 
So the sane answer here is, it's not really worth it at all,  you're probably best served to just set power limit to 90 (which isn't a traditional undervolt but basically does almost the same) and call it a day . You will get lower temps, it's totally safe and performance should stay the same or slightly improve since temps will be lower. 

It's easy, once you get your hands on the software that changes your graphics card voltage. Of course, leaving it at stock performance really isn't a big deal.
 
If you were very concerned about the learning process, you could get your hands on a different, cheaper graphics card just to play around with to understand the tools.

ya... originally thought it was just an ampere problem, the drivers turning a 3070 into a 5700xt on a 5600x is a big problem they need to fix before next gen. 

I guess you didn't see video that at 1080p AMD Radeon Cards usually better than Nvidia and Nvidia usually better at 1440p and 4k resolutions

seems they have?

I ran into a very similar problem in the past (2013) with GTX Titan on an entirely new system that was better in every way, and the game ran slower than on my old system.  That was actually a driver support issue because the game I played was ancient and nobody played anymore, don't imagine that's what's happening with you.
 
1 - AMD just does better in lower resolutions compared to Nvidia.
2 - Check your power supply.  It Shouldn't affect your FPS in games (shouldn't but might if you're on the verge of instability/frying components), but the new cards power consumption spikes higher than previous generations.  I think your card compared to your previous recommends 100 more watts -- might not be it, probably not, but worth a look.  Overlooking the PSU is just not smart, every part is important, and it's job is to keep your system from getting fried.
3 - Play with some of your video settings like drawdistance if it's in your game.  Nvidia like to automatically set these things which end up causing lower FPS so that your games "look better" instead of play better.  That's kindof Nvidia's thing: Look better.  AMD: Play better.
 
That's all I got.  I wish you luck.  I'm not an expert, I just really like the stock.

As shown in the Hardware Unboxed video, Nvidia has more CPU overhead, so if the game is pushing the CPU to max out, it'll drop your FPS. Is your 3600 actually being maxed at times though? This only matters if the CPU is hitting 100% or near it. 
 
Turning graphics settings or resolution up will also reduce any potential CPU bottleneck, as your GPU will be more likely to be the bottleneck. This would mitigate the big drops you might see when your CPU is maxxed

Nvidia works that way, they can't do anything to change it on currently released GPU's.
Maybe when they add a HW-Scheduler to the next gen...

Drivers aside...(Clean Optimized system aside, DDU old drivers aside..) it's just how Nvidia's GPUs work right now vs older CPU's needing overhead for the driver operations.

Hi , I recently upgraded to a RTX 3070 aorus master 8gb from a rx 5700 xt sapphire nitro 8gb oc, the problem here is that I feel like performance I get is less and quiet bad , 
I have a r5 3600 and 32 gb ram at 3200 MHz and the resolution I play is 1080 p
What can I do to improve the FPS, and why I don’t get the FPS I need to get ? The thing is that , I’ll give you this example , Fortnite , direct x12 setting high no dlss etc, frames are ok 170-180-200 but sometimes it dips really bad , really bad , for a couple of seconds 100-110-90 and I noticed that the gpu is not staying not even close to 80% usage and the usage of the cpu and gpu are almost the same, is this bottlenecking? I got more FPS from the amd one , is it driver issue ? I have 0 clues 

thank you

if you want it as a boot drive, remove windows from the hdd, reinstall it on the ssd, and clone from ssd to hdd if you'll remove it fully, if you'll keep it, do what I said without cloning, and reinstall any new games, then set the new ssd as a boot drive in bios, if you don't want it as a boot drive, just install it in

then as stated above there will be no huge difference

There will be no noticiable performance drop going from 16x to 8x with a 5700xt and in addition you SSD will be a gigantic upgrade over your HDD.

it will work, but wont be at advertised speed, like buying a mp600 but it is a mp510, gen 4 speeds only work with amd 500 series motherboards, for these speeds. Will work, but slower.

best bet would to get either a samsung 970 or a crucial p1, both decent SSDs.
the p1 is slightly slower than the samsung 970, but generally less costy.
if you have the same amount of braincells as me: (no offense)
choose p1 if you dont want to spend alot for an SSD but get decent quality.
choose 970 if you want speed and and quality but at a higher cost.
 
the pro variant of the 970 is ok too, just costs slightly more.

thats comparing the mp600 to the 970 evo plus

i should note that i am probably biased as i have 2 of them in my system one as a boot/ videos drive and another  as games drive
